"A Shoe Store for Shoes"
Is the dictum of the experienced. It is u mutter of
shoe history that the department stores which try
to sell shoes of the grades we sell do not make a

It Is generally aiceel that one of the

inieHioiu-r. To enable the Commissioner
to deal iiit-lliueully withtho many prob
lems prcMMited to it nud make Its work
HT.-ctiye, it la bigblt iliiiorlBlit that at
least one of its uieiiiiwra should poiseas

ti id is fortunate in pieeutiag a candi-
lato with inch quallllcatioiis to the

ililr fit him for tbe important ollice to

AHIioiiKh there are other Republican
candi'lates in the flebl, in recognition

no one to oppoae him at thn prmariea.
He is conceded to be the right man for
the place.
