The reason is plain. This type uses less gasoline, less oil, develops more power, keeps cooler, has less car bon, is more accessible, has no "pockets," the ex plosion is direct, exhausts the gases completely, mo tor picks up quickly, throttles down evenly and is conceded to be the most reliable and dependable type. Not only is this the best type of motor, but the Huick is the best motor of this type, because the Buick Motor Company is of the overhead valve motor. The rest of thelbiick car is equally as good.

The Kind You Have Always Bought 7 Bears tha Signature of CANDIDATES FOR THE CITY OFFICES FOR THIS YEAR Those From Whom the Citizens Will Select Their Officers at the Coming City Election. From "Wednesday's Dallv. According to a rather unjust law the people of Plattsmouth are now compelled to choose each year their city officers, which seems rather dis commoding to the voters, as well as the gentlemen who make the race each year. In keeping with the law the two political parties have met in convention and put up men whom they desire to offer to the people of Platts mouth as candidates for the different offices, and in the selections good men have been picked on both sides for the different position and they will await the judgment of the voters as to whom shall fall the honor of holding down the various offices. In Mayor John P. Sattler the demo crats have again picked their stand ard bearer, believing that his admin istration of affairs in the past would warrant his re-election. Mr. Sattler is a native of Germany, but has spent the greater part of his life in America, and since coming to this country in Plattsmouth, where he has almost constantly been identified with public affairs, having been for years a mem ber of the city council, both from the Fourth and Second wards of the city, and was for one term coroner of Cass county. He has been engaged in the furniture and undertaking business in this city for years, both as the owner of a store and as manager of the un dertaking department of the M. Hild store. While a member of the city council in 1910 Mr. Sattler, while serv ing as president of that body, became mayor on the resignation of Henry R. Gering and has since held that office, being returned each time with largo majorities. For the office of city treasurer the democratic party has picked H. M. Soennichsen, the present incumbent, as a candidate for re-election, believ ing that in his success of the office he was deserving of another term. Mr. Soennichsen needs no introduction to the people of Plattsmouth, and as a man, no words of commendation, for there are no better men than Melchoir Soennichsen and he has repeatedly been honored by various offices from the voters, being elected as county assessor in 1909, and was for several terms a member of the city school board. In 1901 he was elected as city clerk, serving for one term. He was elected last spring as treasurer, de feating Dr. E. W. Cook by some eight majority. John Nemetz, the present efficient city clerk, came to Plattsmouth some fourteen years ago from Omaha and engaged in business here as a candy maker and established his confection ary store that has been so successful. He has not been active in politics until last year, when he was prevailed upon to run for city clerk and was success ful, and this year, so well pleased were the citizens, that he was re nominated without opposition. On the councilmanic ticket good Confirmation Shoes Ourlinesof Confirmation Shoes are particularly choice.

We have Dress Shoes: Baby Doll Pumps in Patent and Dull leath ers and in White Canvas. Hand some, new and dainty $2.00 to $3.50 according: to size I M I Fetzar Shoe Company B ETTER SHOE S men have been chosen to carry the banner of democracy, and the first of these is Michael Mauzy of the First ward, who is one of the old residents here and does not need an introduction to the voters, as he has represented the First ward before in the council. He was for thirty years in" charge of the Burlington blacksmith shop in this city and is a man keen on all matters of public welfare. In the Second ward Michael Eajeck, the present councilman, is seeking re election, aid from his record is most deserving of it. He is a cigar maker and employed in the Ptak & Bajeck factory, and is also a leading member of the Cigarmakers union and a clean gentleman all the way through. John II. Hallstrom, who for the past two terms has represented the Third ward in the council, is again the demo cratic candidate there. He is a gentle man who has made his home here for a long period of years and is a prop erty owner who is interested in the development of the city. He is an employe, of the Burlington shops. In the Fifth ward William Shea, the present able councilman, is the can didate of the democracy and will have no opposition for his return to the council, and Billy is a clear-headed gentleman always awake to the in terests of the city at all times. The lepublicans have selected as their leader in the present race a prominent and successful young busi ness man of the city in the person of E. J. Richey, who has beon reared to manhood in this city and has almost from boyhood been identified with the business interests which he now has charge of, that of the Richey Lumber company, which was founded by his father, the late F. M. Richey, who was for several terms mayor of the city. Mr. Richey has not been in pub lic life to any extent with the excep tion of serving the people of the Third ward in the city council, where he made a very creditable record for him self, as well 'as his constituents. He is a very Keen young business man and has been quite successful, both in his public and private life. For city treasurer Dr. E. W. Cook, the republican nominee, like his democratic opponent, scarcely nee Is an introduction to the voters of Platts mouth, as he has been honored by them in the past with various posi tions within their gift. He was lor some nine years a member of the board of education and later, in 1898 wa3 elected as city treasurer .by a large majority and later has been placed in that office at different times and has given an administration that has been most satisfactory to the voters and taxpayers. Dr. Cook is quite extensively connected with the various fraternal orders of the city, and at present is state medical exam iner of the Modern Woodmen of America. For the position of city clerk the re publicans have selected one of the younger members of their organiza tion in the person of E. G. Dovey, who is a real native Plattsmouth candidate, having been born and reared in this city and received his schooling in the Plattsmouth schools, from which he graduated in the class of 1903, and htis since that time been identified with the First National bank as a clerk, and in various other business enter prises. He is a very pleasant and genial young man and well qualified for the position for which his party has selected him to make the race. In the First ward the republican candidate for councilman is William J. Streight, the present representative from that ward, and a man who has made a good record in the council in looking after the interests of the city, r.nd being engaged in business in the city he takes a great interest in any proposition that may in any way prove of benefit to the residents of the city. Mr. Streight, through his long years of residence in our city, is well known to everyone and possesses in the fullest their esteem. In the Second ward George Sayles has been selected to make the race for the seat in the council against Coun cilman Bajeck. He is the represent ative of the Duff Grain company in this city and is also engaged in the insurance and real estate business and is a very able gentleman. Be has not heretofore been a candidate for public office and this is his maiden effort in this role. In the Third ward, as well as the Fifth, the republicans have no candi dates and Messrs. Hallstrom and Shea will return unopposed to the city council. George Lushinsky, the present president of the city council, is the candidate of the republicans in the Fourth ward for re-election and will probably be unopposed, as the demo- HESTER S FILLS THK IAOSI I!HANS.

L cratic candidate has withdrawn from the race. Mr. Lushinsky is the fore man of the Burlington paint shop and has been for several terms councilman from the Fourth ward, and in this position has made a splendid record for safeguarding the interests of his constituents, as well as that of the entire city.

Mr. Schlater is a man who will be found one of the best that has ever been selected for this position, and from h's experience prove to be alive to the best interests of the schools at all times.
