Alderman C. W. McDonald, yielding to
the pressure of bis friends and a large num
ber of representative business men. an
nounced himself last evening as a candi
date for the republican nomination for
mayor. Ever since the opening of the mu
nicipal campaign Mr. McDonald's name has
been mentioned with more or less persist
ency In connection with the mayoralty nom
ination, but as persistently he declined to
be considered a candidate for the office.
His intentions being sincere not to be a
candidate for the mayoralty. Aldermu Mc
Donald sought and obtained a renomlnatlon
to represent the Fourth ward In the city
council. E race the primaries Friday night
many of. Mr. McDonald's friends and a
large number of prominent business men
renewed their efforts te induce htm to be
come a candidate for the republican nomi
nation for mayor." For buslbess reasonfe
Mr. McDonald hesitated, but the pressure
brought to bear on him waa of such a na
ture that yesterday he decided he owed It
to his friends and the persons urging his
candidacy to consent to their wishes.
Alderman McDonald has represented the
Fourth, ward for one term In the city coun
cil, during which he has made an enviable
record for business methods. As local man
ager of a large wholesale Implement house,
be has ever since hia residence la Council
Bluffs been prominently Identified with the
Interests and welfare of the city. He has
always been ready to devote his time and
energies when called upon to assist In any
public movement, and has also always been
willing to assist financially any movement
In the Interests of the. community. His
friends who urged him to become a candi
date for the republican nomination feel
that as msyor of Council Bluffs he would
rive the community a clean, businesslike
frsd capable administration.

association's plan will restore to the bank
era much of the business in this line which
Is now being done by the government
through the poetofflce. The general scheme
is to nave a univeresi iimmi- muri
by bankers which will be honored at any
bank where the order may be presented.
For Instance. If you want 10 carry orwnu
m.mAv -11 vnn hiiv to do la to set a bank
ers' money order, take It with you or send
It in the mail ana it win m punomi
place In the country without cost or Incon
venience. The Idea, ts to charge one-tenth of 1 per
cent for the money order on small amounts,
which I about one-third the charge of the
express companies and less than the charge
made by the government. The universal
bankers' money order system will also be
much simpler and much more convenient

the United State without trouble as to
identification, genulnenesa of algnature or
signing papers.
