REPUBLICAN TICKET AND GOOD GOVERNMENT

City Election Near at Hand- and Campaign Tendencies Are . Toward Republican Ticket. The election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 4th, and there is an evident trend toward the republican ticket, Which was nominated with the sole object of naming men with; ability to administer the affairs of the city in a capable and businesslike manner. 4 ‘ 1 Voters know that there is not much in polities in these elections. The majn thing is to procure good and dependable men for the places. This has been done by the republicans, whose largely attended convention secured the men wanted by the vast majority of party adherents. Charles G. Spitler, the head of the ticket. is a capable man. a man of precision for correctness and fairness and regarded by all as the best informed man about the affairs- of the city of any man in Rensselaer. Having served for many years as a member of the city council and shown there the disposition to, be fair with all and to advocate those measures of progress that the people were demanding and had reason to expect. Mr. Spitler is a man who believes in, enforcement of the law and that is probably the most important thing in relation to the administration of the affairs of our city. It would be calamatous to have it otherwise. He will, if elected, be the plain mayor of the people, desiring above all to give our city an able, clean administration. The Republican believes be has every quality necessary for the office and that he should receive the votes of all who favor good government, careful business control of the affairs of the city, and the proper dignity that is expected of tlje town’s chief executive. The councilmanic candidates havebeen selected with a view to their business ability and their standing at citizens. Ray Wood, Rex Warner, Prank Kresler, Frank Tobias and Frank King are of the highest standing in every walk of citizenship, They will represent the taxpayers with never forgetting responsibility. They are the men we need to carry on the splendid woTk of the present progressive administration. Charles Morlan is the Ideal man foT city clerk. He'b'as filled the office with ability for several years and his/precise reports of the proceedings of the -council, his punctilious care of the work ordered by the council and the convenience of his location at the court house make him extremely desirable. In addition to this is the fact that he deserves the office from the fact that he has proven so capable in the past and because he needs the office in connection with his other work, and can care for his two jobs without any neglect to either. Ml Morlan is of that daiss of Worthy citizens for whom it pleasure to vote and he should be given the aid of all wbo believe that well rendered service and good citizenship deserves support. Charles M. Sands for city treasurer. is also a capable and deserving man. He is located right for the convenience of the public, being at the. State bank. He is a bookkeeper and a competent man elerieally, and both are essentials of the office he seeks. He meets up in the matter of citizenship to the high standards of the entire ticket. We trust that every reader of The Republican and every voter will consider the respective abilities of these candidates and vote for the best men for the places.
