Mrs. Ann Colby Albright,
DuIuthian. Visits Here

Mrs. Ann Colby Albright was in
the Twin Cities last weekend as
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart
Mitchell. Mrs. Albright is the
daughter of the late Chas. Colby of
Duluth who was nationally known
as the apple Pie King" and who
was guest chef for three United
States Presidents and many other
equally distinguished notables.
HOLDS ENVIABLE POSITION
Mrs. Albright has figured promi-
nently in musical and civic circles
in Duluth for the past ten years.
She is at the present time director
of two choruses made up entirely
of white singers. Each group
numbers forty voices or more and
one group is widely acclaimed at
this time because of its Finnish
racial extraction and has given
many benefit performances singing
songs in the Finnish language.
RACE NO BARRIER
Mrs. Albright is a graduate of
the local State Teachers college
and studied in the East. Early in
life she was told by her mother
that Duluth was her home and that
with diligent application she could
accomplish just as much in her
home town as any other girl.

Howell, Come
F or City Posts
Met une And McC uIIur
Announce Candidates.
For City Aldermen
Rhyme For City Clerk

Rhyme For City Clerk
i wish to say that I will be a can
didate for the office of city clerk in
the coming city election on Tues
day, April Both, 1910.
1 believe the city clerks office is
the most important in the city gov
ernmental set-up. The clerk Is your
tax collector, your record keeper and
all business transactions made by
the city administration pass through
the clerks hands. Naturally one
must be capable and well able to
discharge the duties in an efficient
and courteous manner.
The clerks office Is a bonded Of
flee and Is strictly a business propo-
a surety bond which gives the city
ample protection for the ~responsi-
bilities of the office.
The office belongs to the people
and the city pays the clerk a good
salary to discharge all duties to all
people alike free Of any charge what
ever. You may feel free to walk In
at any time and all services will be
free of any charges. 1 will treat you
just like I would have you treat me
if 1 walked into your office.
That which concerns the inner DIR
Giles of mans household is a sacred
trust and not to be revealed. Most
of the business in the clerks office
concerns the household, such as tax
es on the home, your light bill and
water bill, etc. You may feel free
to walk in at any time and talk
about whatever you wish and trans
act any business you see fit that
comes under the routine of the Of
flee and no one shall know it but you
and me.
I do not believe the city of Durant
owes any mar or woman a living and
in that connection, although not the
actual head Of a family, I believe
I have just as much family respon-
sibility as anyone in town.
1 have the greatest respect and adj
miration for my opponents and I am
not running against them but SIM
ply running for the office. 1 fee
thai they are my friends and I wish
very much that they shall be when
the election is over.
I give every person in Durant ere
dit for being intelligent enough II
vote their own convictions and to
express themselves as they see fit.
I invite the support and Influence of
everybody and any helpful sugges-
tons and 1 promise I will make you
n Of the best City Clerks you ever
had.
