Spitler and Republican Ticket Meeting Great Favor.

As the campaign has progressed the wisdom of the republican convention in naming Charles G. Spitler at Its head has been demopstrated by the many reasons that have presented themselves for his (‘lection.. The same may be said of the entire ticket, which was named with the sole view to procuring an able business administration to succeed the present very able out? going council and mayor. In Mr< Spitler are combined the qualities that are needed by a mayor, A centrally located business office, a good business and legal educattou, ■experience covfering long years with the affairs of the city and a consequent knowledge of its needs, a scrupulously honest life right here‘at home, a devotion to duty that has inade him a citizen that will give the highest tone to the mayor’s office. And, fully as important to the welfare of the city, is the assurance that with him as mayor, the laws of the state and the city will be enforced with vigorous fairness and that the clean, moral tone of the city will be maintained. Consider Mr. Spitler from any angle and he will be found entirely worthy and abundantly qualified. Irrespective of your politics, Mr. Voter, be you republican, democrat or progressive, is it not a fact that what we want for' this office is the man who can fill it the best? Our interests are mutual in this matter. Politics is a secondary Cbhsideration. We want a mayor, who, as a police judge, knows the law and has an office where cases can be brought before him. We want a mayor who knows first hand the business of the city and who is prepared to exercise his knowledge during the four years that he is to preside over the council. Democrats and progressives admit without argument that Mr. Spitler combines the qualities'that are needed, and we trust that every voter will consider with himself these things and then vote just as he candidly thinks will be the best.
