The only objection I can aee to a commlaslon form of government Is that three unreliable men, or two, which 'would be a ma Jorlty, might some time be elected, and work against th Interest of tho city. "I do not think It would be neces sary for more than on member to put In full time.

MY DRAPER QQ) FN COO! Young Business Man Ha Llvsd in Second Ward All Hi Life and Takes Interest In City ' Affairs. It la probable that definite an nouncements will be made this week by aspirant for tbo mayoralty to ucceed George C. Brownell and for membership In tho city council to succeed Vtlllam AndreAen, first ward, M. C- Strickland, second ward, .and Jacob Michel , third ward. The Incumbent have announced that they will not be candidate for reelection. Mayor Ilrownell give a his reason for not offering; again, although he has served but one term, the neces sity for him to give all his attention to hi law practice. There Is no question that the duties of the may oralty have greatly Interfered with his professional work, and while he has given his time cheerfully, and Is credited with having made a remark able record, the mayor feels that an other should make the sacrifice the coming year. Counollman Olv Reasons, Mr. Andresen, who Is president of the council, and Dr. Strickland and Mr. Mlchels give tho same reasons for declining to be candidates to succeed themselves as Mayor Brown ell. Mr. Andresen haa been a mem ber of the council for six years, and feel that he haa served his city long enough in. the ouncll. Gordon R. Hayes, formerly state senator and county judge. Is being urged to mak the race for mayor, but hat not made any definite an nouncement. Frank Buacfc had beeu mentioned for the office, but he positively announced last week that he would not be a candidate at th coming election. Mortimer Latourette, also mentioned for the place, said Saturday thnt he had not given the matter serious consideration. No candidate have announced for the council In the first and third wards to succeod Mr. Andresen and Mr. Mlchels, and. In fart, none has been mentioned. F. J. "toote, super intendent of clt schools, and Harry R. Draper, member of the firm, of Huntley Bros, company, have been mentioned as candldstes In the sec ond ward. Mr. Tor. has made a fine record as . superintendent of schools, and his friends think he would make even as flne-a record as a member of the city council. Draper Haa Strong Following. Mr. Draper Is not only one of the heading young business men of the city, but he haa lived In tho second ward all his life, and takes 'an active Interest In civic affairs. It is be lleved that he eould have been elected to the council at former elections had he permitted the use of his name. (Continued on Page 3.)
