NOMINATIONS ARE FILED
Interest in City Politics Warms
Up as Day of Election
Approaches.
Interest In the annual city election
Is warming up rapidly and a heavy
vote Is expected next Monday, when
the respective merits of the various
candidates will be passed upon by the
people. All of the present city officers
are asking for re election, but, with
two exceptions, will have to right for
the coveted honors. The two candi
dates having no opposition are H. B.
Cosper, councilman-at-large, and
Conrad Stafrin, councilman from the
First Ward.
Mayor Blddle is asking the voters to
indorse his administration by giving
him another term. His opponent is
A. B. Muir, a councilman of many
years' experience, and who was unsuc
cessful by a few votes in his race with
the present Mayor two years ago.
The contest fs earnest, but is being
carried on without bitterness, Biddle
standing by the record of his official
term, while Muir is advocating pro
gressive business management, better
streets and lower taxes.
Up in the "Bloody Second," where a
dearth of candidates was never known,
threo contestants have appeared for
the office of Councilman and the
princely salary thereto appertaining.
W. A. Ayres, the incumbent, Ex
Councllman C. E. Shaw and J. M.
Lynn are the candidates. Second
Ward will furnish a large share of
the amusement this year, and the
outcome of the three-cornered fight
will be watched with interest. Over
In Third Ward. S. M. Ray will try
conclusions with F. J. Coad for the
office of Councilman. Each has a
strong and loyal following, and a
pretty race is anticipated.
Down in First Ward, things political
are strangely quiet this year. In the
good old days, the politicians in this
ward could always be counted upon to
get busy just before election and put
up a scrap that would add to the
gayety of nations. For some unknown
reason, the scrappers are strangely
quiet this year and are apparently
taking no interest in the mlxup
further than to re-elect Councilman
Stafrin, whose official record has evi
dently met their approval. Appear
ances are often deceiving, however,
and a few old-time office seekers who
have been through the First Ward
political mill a time or two are ready
to predict that some of the city candi
dates will experience the surprise of
their lives when the vote is counted
next Monday night
Dan P. Stouffer, who has acceptably
filled the office of Auditor and Police
Judge for many years, is a candidate
for re-election. He is a successful
vote-getter, and his long experience In
the office makes him a formidable
candidate. Lott Brown, the young
attorney and real estate man , has
also filed a petition for this office.
The voting places will be located as
follows: First ward, Dallas Flouring
Millisecond ward, City Hall; third
ward, Kerslake's eld store building.
The polls will open at 9 a. m. and
close at 6 p. m.

Agricultural College, says: "These
Williams' Jubilees deserve to be
recommended as one of the greatest
entertainments before the public to
day. We have Invited them to be on

Electricity for Lighting
MMaHMBHkMlliaMM
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high. .v
It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electrlo light, but does It save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars deooratlons and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
