With but one excep tion there is but one candidate for each office. 4 For the sake of promoting harmony, the "drys," as they are call ed, did not nominate a ticket this year; so that there will be no opposition to the election of the ticket named by the "wets," except the candidate-for city treasurer. A good many people do not think it altogether fair to permit a city election to be entirely one-sided, hence friends of Glen G. Hampton, "wets" as well as "drys," have request ed him to permit the use of his name as a candidate for city treasurer, which he has consented to do. Both candidates for this are, in our opinion, qualified to discharge the duties of the office; the city treasurer has no voice in the question of licensing saloons, and similar matters; hence the contest will turn on the popularity of the two candidates and the question of a division of offices as above suggested.
