DON’T FAIL TO ATTEND YOUR CONVENTIONS.

Get Out and Help Nominate Men That Will Be a Credit To the City and Give Good Administration.] ‘ Republicans should give some thought to the matter of the men whom they wish to nominate for office, and should go to their respective ward conventions Tuesday night and vote for their men for councilmen and then turn out Wednesday night and vote for their choice for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and councilmen at large. See the call in the Republican, remember where your ward convention is to be held and have some man in mind whom you think has the qualities of fairness and business ability and support him. The names of many good men have been talked of for mayor. George Meyers, Walter V. Porter, Dr. H. B. Brown, C. G. Spitler, J. H. S. Ellis, George Fate, Hale Warner and others have been mentioned. There seems to be only one candidate for the office cf clerk and only one for treasurer. Chas. Morlan has held the former for sqyeral years and very creditably, and Ray Thompson’s ability and location makes him a very desirable man for treasurer. The important thing is to get efficient business men on the council and every republican voter should attend the ward convention and the general convention and nominate and, support men who will fill the high requirements of these offices. Remember that the ward conventions are Tuesday night and the general convention Wednesday night. All at the court house.
