Wise for Councilman in the First ward is an. industrious, consei'va- tive citizen and will represent that ward witlj ability. Bridge, in the second is careful, competent business man whose vote would always be found in the interest of the people.

Minthorn in the Third is bright, energetic and ambitious and his record would be just what his constituents would approve Of. Hadley in the Fourth is a thorough, experienced business man on whose judgment the Council could rely on all occasions. Truman the Fifth deserves re-election. He has always voted for the best interests of the city and has done more for his part of the ward than any councilman it has had for years. A change at the present time and the putting into power of the minority party means a reduction of expenditures and an economical administration.
