It is apprehended that tho Farmers'
Mutual will do all in its power in retali

was done it. As its membership includes
men in all parts of the state, a super
human effort ha been mado to elect as

The flurry created by the subject of
"Three commissioners instead of a
mayor and council in cities of the first
class," baa about died out, though it
may be revived before the legislature
convenes. It ia safe to venture, how
ever, that any bill providing for a board
of three commissioners in lieu of mayor
and councilman would hardly meet the
approval of our state dignitaries. This
is not intended to discourage such a
proposition, as the truth of the proposi
tion will be accepted by everybody who
gives the subject serious thought. The
