Then would Graham lose heavily

The First and Second wards particularly
would make Woods strong. However,
it should be stated that Turner could
not detract from City Clerk Bowen to
the 6a me degree that Woods would

And the basis of this prognostication
can be readily perceived. Woods and
Turner being young men would prob
ably receive the undivided support of
the young republicans of the city who,
by the way, are destined to be the con
trolling factor at a 'not far distant day.
Besides, the element which always
becomes prejudiced against a man as
soon as he holds office, would undoubt
edly be divided in a way that would
benefit Woods.

WhileThe Courier has made the con
test for mayor a feature, it has enjoyed
bo rarer occasion to observe the political
than it enjoys at present. The mo
lt will be a matter of news to some to
learn that Councilman Young is a can
didate for mayor in earnest, and not in
the interest of any one else, as has been
shyly intimated. There are those who
contend that Mr. Young will be content
with a third term in the council, but
this is not true if Mr. Youngs own
statement to The Courier can be relied
upon. Said Mr. Young: ''If the Craw
ford county system is to be used next
spring I will be a candidate for mayor."
And why should not' Dick be a candi
date for mayor? It is everybody s fight
and no man knows what his chances are
at present. Dick has all kinds of
friends, and if he sticks to his present
intentions there is no telling where he
will haul up. It he withdraws from
the contest, however, he may expect a
visitation from the righteous wrath of
bis many friends.
Barr Parker and Jim Parker need not
be classed as candidates, the former be
cause he will not enter the fight unless
he has a cinch something no man will

fact which was fully demonstrated at
the -lection last November.
To judge from the articles being daily
published in the Evening Nnws, we are
of the firm belief that that paper would
be very indignant if Lincoln or Lancas
ter county should receive a federal ap
pointment or two, notwithstanding the
valuable service rendered McKinley by
our people. But then, yon know, the
News always was a patriotic pap:r nit.
R. Henry Thorpe, the boy orator, will
deliver a lecture at the Lansing Decem
ber 14. Mr. Thorpe needs no introduc
tion nor recommendation, as his prowess
as a speaker is too well known. His
address will bo devoid of politics and
will be of tho most entertaining and in
structive character.
In accordance with the advice of The
Courier, the city republican central com
mittee held a special meeting and again
adopted the Crawford county system.
During the meeting Chairman L. L. E.
Stewart charged that quite a number of
demo-pops are holding positions under
the present administration, and insisted
that republicans should bo given their
places. If Mr. Stewarts statements
areas well founded as he claims them to
be, he is fully justified in making tho
kick which he did. The amendments
needed to tho Crawford system have
before been suggested by this paper.
