Democrats Endorse Republican Ticket.
At tho democratic mass meeting at
the court house last ovening, which
was attended by fifty or soventy-fivo
members of that party, the tickot
named by the republican mass meeting
oxecpting the councilmen was en
dorsed. This action occurred after a
rather spirited debate, Dr. McCnbc and
others favoring such action on tho
ground that it removed politics from
city affairs, and A. F. Streitz, W. II.
McDonald and others opposing. A mo
tion to endorso prevailed.

for A . F. Streitz. That gentloman,

occurred.

a pessimistic view of business condi

pect to see in a number of years to
come, n volume of business ns largo as
in 1907, which, was ono of those "bum
