NOTICE


 In announcing my candidacy for the office of Mayor of the City of Seward, I want to say that I am an independ- ent, in every sense of the word, and have not been brought out by any man or faction.
 This statement that am a repre- sentative of some particular faction is made intentionally to cover up the real issues that are to be settled at the coming election. 1t is an old trick, so don't be deceived by it.
 I am a candidate for Mayor because the records on file in the City Clerks office show, that the Council in 1916 turned over about $1l ,OOO to the pres ent council.
 That they collected in taxes, li- censes, etc, $S7, 900.
 That the city now owes the bank $5,OOO, borrowed money, and that every cent of this amount, $53,OOO, has been spent.
 Did you know that the town of Seward was not only broke, but $5,- 900 in debt? Keep these figures, go to the city clerks books and verify them, then ask these men who are passing out the information" that l am a candidate of some faction, to ex. plain to you why this money has been wasted, and what the city of Seward has to show for it? Were it not for this deplorable condition of affairs, my petition would never have been circulated.
 Do you realize that it will take a conservative council two years to get the city's finances back on a solid basis?
 In view of the above statement, lon't you think, it is about time to .ake a change?
 I have had several years experience in municipal work and have allowed my name to go on the ballot, thinking, that I may be of some service to my town.
 Should l be elected, will use my influence with the council at all times to hold down expenses, to give careful to all matters brought be fore that body and, as your executive, will try to give you business-like administration, and enforce the exist ing ordinances.
 am in favor of increasing the ef- iciency of our fire department and will render such assistance as the members of this department deem necessary, to build it up.
 Here is what you have to decide:
 If the voters and taxpayers of Sew ard are satisfied with the way your business is being conducted, and can stand for another $5S,OOO year, the thing to do, is to vote for the men who are candidates for reelection.
 If you want to change from policy of reckless extravaganza to one of business and economy, l will appreci- ate your support and votes.
 This, I believe, places the issues before you.
 SAMUEL MCDONALD.

TENER EXPLAINS LOWER SALARIES
 AND GIVES WHY
President of the National League Says Owners of Clubs Must Realize
 Some Profits.

President John K. Tener of the National League, in a statement in New York in reply to complaints of National League players that their salaries had been cut, declared a salary adjustment was absolutely necessary.
 "Thc game must be put on such basis where the men who have money in the clubs can expect a reasonable profit on their invest ment, he said. "Thc best proof that salaries are too high is that de- spite the fact that we had a record attendance, few clubs made money. The same conditions, I am told, eX- isted in the American League, which also had its record attend- ancc.
 "Thc players should be more req sonablc. Salaries were artifcially inflated during the existence of the Federal League, and players by holding a strike club over their clubs forced them to pay salaries out Of all proportion to what their ser vices were worth or what the clubs could afford to pay. Naturally such contracts could not be expected to be renewed at the war time figures"

Great Pitcher Is Near Death as
 Inn Rranks

Walter Johnson, pitcher for the Washington American League club, narrowly escaped death by drown- ing a few days ago. While hunting coons with a party of friends at night, Johnson attempted to cross a river on the ice near COffeyville, Kas. The ice broke and although a strong swimmer, his heavy hunting clothes so impcded his efforts that it was impossible to keep his head above the surface for any length of time.
 The timely arrival of a compan- ion saved him. Johnson is none the worst for his experience.
