The first city election was to
be held in September. At a meet
ing of the Commercial club, at
tended by both men and women,
the following candidates received
the clubs unanimous endorsement:
j. H.. Coffey for mayor, Ole Erick-
son and O.. C. Johnson, first ward
aldermen; o. t. Stennes and Fred
c. Williams, second ward alder
men.
Richland county was to have a
county option election in October.
The Herald stood consistently for
ousting the saloons: "The saloon
comes as near being a rat hole for
a wage Garner to dump his wages
in as anything you can find. The
only interest it pays is red eyes
and foul breath and the loss of
health. You go in with money and
you come out with empty pockets.
And then it will let your wife be
buried in the potters field and
your children go to the asylum.
Yet you walk out and say that the
saloon is a good institution, when
it is the dirtiest thing on earth.
1t hasn't one leg to stand on and
has nothing to commend it to a
decent man, not n thing"

Remember this when you hear

A man without courage could
NEVER have gotten as far as
Sharkey got. Remember that
Dempsey had Two of the siickest
and trickiest seconds in the world
in his corner-Leo Flynn and
Billy Duffey. Between them they
have invented more pitfalls and
originated more corkscrew stuff,
as the boys in the Darkroom call
it, than any other given pair OF
wisenheimers.
p M M r, too, that the
- aroma of foul has tainted all
of Dempsey's fights and only his
tremendous mass popularity has
deadened the odor. Dempsey adj

before Billy Miske in a self-con-

accused of loading his mittS with
