THE MCMILLAN CANDIDACY

The non-politician along the street hears of the possibility of Dugald Nc Milan becoming mayor of the city and says with decided emphasis, Good"
 The business man hears of the pos sibiity, glances at the great store which has just left the possession of Dugald McMillan when the business of that store is in splendid shape, and says Good"
 The manufacturer, accustomed to thinking it is rather hopeless to try to discuss affairs with habitues of city hall, hears of the possibility and says, quietly conservative, Good"
 The women of the city, familiar with the McMillan atmosphere, the McMillan conservative solidity, quail ty without too great ostentation, hear of the possibility and say, He ought to make a good mayor. I know him by sight at least. I'll vote for him.
 These comments are made by those whose not over-enthusiastic apprecia- ton of the things done under Mayor Curtis will not prevent their support of 6 man like Dugald McMillan merely because his candidacy might hurt the candidacy of Mayor Curtis. The comments are made by people who do not believe in figuring out what effect the candidacy of one man will have upon that of another. The people who become somewhat enthused over the possible running of Mr. McMillan are the peor,e who would like to see many good men announcing their will ingness to accept the nomination, in order that the city. might have the best possible person at the head of its affairs. I
 Sincerely it is believed that MT. Me- Milan would not be politicians candidate. He is not q politicians candidate now. How many politicianx far-seeing, may flock to his support if he announces that he will run, is an- other matter. Already he has indi- cated his hesitancy to become enthus- ed over the boom started for him. It is believed that boom has no ulterior tocv hn 1y,1v desire of those most eager to have MT. McMillan run is that the city They believe Mir. McMillan is the best man in sight. They are urging him to- run.
 Everyone surhises that there are mysterious things going on in city hall as mysterious things have gone on in city hall always. There is a feeling that some of those mysterious things There is feeling that it would be a good thing for the city to have the
  the sunlight dispel the .mists which conceal those mysterious things, good and bad. People who know him be- lieve Dugald McMilan would seize the curtains, let them fly up ,and flood of sunlight come in. They would like to see him have the chance.
 This year the woman's vote, of course, is to be considered. People vote for a man they know most about if such knowledge indicates the mans ability to handle his own affairs well. There would be large woman's vote for MT. McMillan. They especially appreciate the necessity of frequent housecleaning even though the prem ises may not be remarkably dirty.
 Without disparaging the other re- publican candidates for the mayorali- ty at this time The Herald hopes for the sake of the welfare of the city and | not at all for his own sake that Dugald | McMillan decides to give the republi- cans of the city the chance to say whether or not they prefer him to the other candidates. Then, honestly and sincerely The Herald resorts to the old wish May the best man win"
