6 THE COURIER Howard J. Whltmore against him with the hope of profiting hy republican de fection. In the Fourth it Is likely a second primary will he necessary. Bishop, Smith and Bacon are running there, with the fight seemingly between the first two. Bacon is not without backing, however, and no one Is likely to have n walkaway. In the Fifth one primary will decide It between Framp ton and Burgess. Botli are good men, and Frampton has the advantage of having served one term. In the Sixth Fryer looks to be done for. Fryer Is not n dishonest or corrupt man, hut he Is weak in that he seems to be at the mercy of the last man who does any pushing. He has broken promise after promise In the council and his. word is lightly regarded. In the Seventh Henry Myers Is making It very warm for Lyman, and there are many who say that he Is going to win at the primaries, although at the election that's another story. The campaign has been productive of one good thing. It has brought out a strong and distinctive feeling among citizens in favor of a municipal light ing plant, and whatever happens at the ward primaries the council will be forced Iry public sentiment to take the action necessary to install one. The present prices paid for lighting are exorbitant, and the present over-capitalization of the lighting company is so great as to absolutely prohibit any hope of reduction in the "future. The only escape for the consumers is municipal ownership. It is coming, slow hut certain. Meanwhile it Isn't safe to allow the gas company to use the city council for the purpose of forcing out of the lighting business its only competitor at present, the traction company, and so It happens that the people and the traction company are lighting on the same side this cam paign. "Walter L. Anderson, an aspirant for the republican nomination for the of fice or police judge, has been a resi dent of the city for over three years. He is the junior member of the law firm of Tibbets Bros.. Morey & Ander son. Mr. Anderson Is a native of Iowa and got his legal education in the oflice of his father, A. It. Anderson, a prom inent attorney of Sidney, Iowa, After wards he attended the law college at Iowa university, graduating in 1S91. He located in Hot Springs, S. D. Here he served four years as United States circuit court commissioner. He was also in the olllce of county attor ney for five years, having been once appointed and twice elected. During the Spanish-American war he served In troop D of the Third volun teer cavalry, one of the Bough Rider regiments. A month after his enlist ment he was commissioned second lieutenant. The regiment went to Chlckamauga and remained there until the close of the war. "When the regiment was mustered out of service Mr. Anderson located in SOCIETY NOTES LIFE'S MAZY WHIRL WALTER L. ANDERSON. Lincoln. He is thirty-four years of age and has been a republican all his life. In social and fraternal circles he Is prominent, belonging to the Masons, Elks, Modern "Woodmen and Sons of Veterans. He has also been a mem ber of the young men's republican club since first coming to Lincoln. Mr. Anderson, in outlining his plat form, says he stands for morality and purity in municipal affairs. Concern ing the official duties of the police judge, he said: "I believe In case of doubt the police judge should always err on the side of morality. The position demands not so much a rigid and technical interpreta tion of the law as It does a full appre ciation of the moral aspects of the cases." Last week we celebrated Saint Val entine's birthday and the politicians did the same for Saint Abraham. This week it is Saint George whose birthday must receive attention, how many great men arrived in this short month! Saint George is a bit slighted this year. The "Daughters'' have sometimes done hon or to him in. royal style, hut this year the regent Is off In "Washington attend ing caucuses and colonial teas, and the Lincoln Daughters seem to have for gotten that their country ever had a "Father." The enginemen celebrated gayly with a ball last night, and a few small gatherings of loyal souls com memorated the historic incident of the hatchet and the cherry tree. And now some of the faithful have expressed their intention of denying themselves even such innocent diversions as musi cales during lent, and some of the events planned for the penitential sea son have been postponed until its close, when of course, there will be the usual round of parties large and small, and the roses in the cheeks of the belles and the sparkle in their eyes, gained by forty days and forty nights of rest, will soon disappear. 7? i" r Mr. and Mrs. Milton Scott enter tained the Twenty-seventh street social club Saturday evening, and an on-Iook-er would not have guessed that lent had begun, so hilarious was the gath ering. Forty persons were present and made merry over the valentines which the guests had been requested to write for the occasion. One member of a his torical turn of mind wrote the follow ing which is said to lie a truthful sketch of the club's history: The Twenty-seventh street club You've heard of no doubt. They first went to Johnson's Then took turn about. They started at first To have a good sing. But soon decided That was hardly the thing. For of song, wit and humor They discovered a fund The first night they met With our good neighbor Gund. "When they spoiled, up at Scott's They made a great din. And over at Guthrie's The young folks came in. To Mainland's they went up. To McLaughlin's went down. And spent one evening With Mrs. Guy Brown. Some tell a good story Oh! how the cheek pales When remembering the ghost That was told of at Hale's. This is not the whole story Just a "Poyntcr" it's called To show how we meet Both the young and the "Auid." This one, it will be noticed, is an acrostic: My heart would be entwined with thine. You arc my dearest valentine. Vainly I've longed for you. and laid All my heart's yearnings at your feet. Long I have waited and have paid Ever my choicest gifts, like inefnse swe.t Now would I ask once more, wilt thou be mine? Tell me, my dear one, let your answer be I will, and that will so enrapture me No more I'll grieve, for thy dear face I'll see. Ever before me, and no more I'll pine. Many others were equally meritori ous, so the folks say. A gramaphone entertained the company for a time and old fashioned songs were sung by some of the artists present. Mrs. Scott's house was decorated with num berless red hearts and she served de licious glace and cake.
