The work Of the commissioners was
performed ably, promptly and salts
factorily. They arc all men Of affairs,
high-class, intelligent citizens, and
the trust imposed in them by the
people will be executed with faith
fulness and fidelity.
Two good men and true have offer
ed for mayor One is the present in
cumbent, Hon. A. Y Glover, who has /
discharged his duties without fear or
favor. There are many who believe /
his record has been such as to en-
title him to an endorsement term.
The mayors opponent, Mr.. \. l..
Kuykendall, is one Of our most enter
prising and progressive citizens, an
Columbus booster, and a
man whose friends are many.
Mr.. Glover and Mr.. Kuykendall are
making a highclass campaign, free
from abuse innuendo and mud-sling
ing. They are both well qualified for
the office of mayor, and no matter
which gentleman knocks the persim-
non, Columbus will be ably governed.
Already we have heard some heated
arguments with regard TO the mayors
ace between friends Of the opposing
and we would warn our
people against the danger Of waxing
warm in discussing the political situa-
ion No point is ever carried through
niger, and il would be we'll for an r
# our citizens TO remember that ev-
ny man is entitled 10 his opinion,
md that thinking a thing about a
andidate for office does not make it
rue. You will be able TO win more
.otes for your candidate by praising
i'm than by abusing his opponent.
.et the campaign be carried on in a
pirit Of friendly rivalry and not by
Methods Of abuse and villifcation. If
.ou bring a false charge against !
iayor Glover or Mr. Kuykendall, {
will be sure TO call your I
and, for both men have lived here 4
or many years and they are well
nown 10 everybody. II
We hope the present city campaign q
fill be so conducted that when il is /
yer and the winners name has been S
there will be no hatchets to .
ury and no quarrels 20 be made up. y
Now. go 10 10. Mayor Glover has o
good life and a good record for you
b talk about. Mr. Kuykendall has
God life Of which YOU may speak in
votes for him. 1t Is a mat q
ar Of sincere regret 20 many that we {
annot have both Of the gentlemen :
D serve US as mayor, one north Of e
lain street and one south. M
