With three davs' holiday In sight and not wishing to re main snort MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION FAVORS JAMES COLE James Cole, candidate for district at torney, has been put much to the fore In his contest for votes hy reason of the Indorsement of the executive com mittee cf the Municipal association. Mr. Cole In his candidacy for the office of district attorney has put the law abid ing cltlr.fns of the city on his side by his fearless stard for law enforcement. until Monday, the stock .Lr' 'JL7.V .,hVTn,",,f ' Hecause of this uUltu.le the candidate on coverlnR orders, and the trading dur Ing the entire day was helped thereby. Toward the close there was an added amount of covering business, and the sales show quite an Increase over yes terday. Canadian Pacific was the lead er, with a net gain of 1H points. Union Pacific gained 1 American Smelter K. and St. Paul added a frac tion to Its. price. Southern Pacific was lifeless. (Range by Downing-liopklns Company.) waa selected by the Municipal assocla tlon as the one to be given Its support, tomorrow tli better element of the vote In the county will be lined up for .Mr. Cole, while he will be opposed by the opporlte class of voters. The In dorsement of the executive board of th Municipal association suthorlxed at a recent meeting is as follows: "There Is probably no more Important office to be voted upon at this election than that of prosecuting attorney. The honest and fearleaa administration of the dutle of this office la absolutely es.mintlal to that preservation of law and order which Is the onlv safee-uard of the public welfare under our form of Kov.-rnment. "There are sevn candidates for nom ination for the office on the Republican ticket. Of these It la conceded that Mr. Cameron and Mr. Moser will draw the bulk of the undesirable vote, leav ing five candidates to divide the vote of ihc better class. We believe the law-abiding cltlxena of this county can nominate their candidate, but to do this they must unite on one man or be de feated by the Honor and silled forces.
