proposition, and regretted that the rep
resentatives from tho Third ward in

If Mr. Yost becomes a candidate by
petition, ho will probably be re-elected,
not that Mr. Sandall Is not a good man,
but rather that Mr. Yost has taken a
very active interest in tho waterworks
proposition, is well acquainted with tho

peoplo of tho ward will conclude that
so long as he has asssistcd in tho
