THE WINNING TICKET!
Republicans Have  Placed  in  Nomination  Men
Who Meet
THE APPROVAL OF ALL REGARDLESS OF POLITICS,
They are Taxpayers, and Abie and Representative Citizens.
The Republicans of Clare, in bobh
the ciby -convention and ward caucus-
, es, bave made exceptionally good nominations this spring.    Voters of all
/^parties are satisfied of tliis and every
•^candidate is worthy of the cordial sun-
porfc of the voters qf the city. All are
men of irreproachable character and
thoroughly competent to till the position for which they have been named.
V
FOR MAYOR
Genial Charley Clark is the man.
During the many years that he lias
resided here he has tilled many positions of trust with honor to himself
and those whom he served. He is so
well known to everyone tliat any extended notice is entirely unnecessary.
In the position of mayor and supervisor he will do his utmost to give the
best and most economical administration of tbe affairs of the city. That's
his platform in a nut-sbell. No more
need be said,   A vote for bim will be
a vote in tbe right direction.

CITY CLERK.
Chas. W. CalKins, who has proven
,,im-*_lf to oe a successful and careful
.tug business .i.1.1 n, is the candidate
luv city clerk. There are many things
to be said in favor of his election,
among-tbem that he is a tSa-i-payer and
that be has a place of business and
desk easy of access to those desiring to
do business with the clerk. These are
only a few of the Important points to
• be considered and that he should be
elected goes without saying.
TREASURER.
The more the yoters learn of Charlie
Buell's qualifications, tbe more determined tbey are to support bim for city
treasurer, "Still water runs deep,"
and the comparison aptly applies to
Charley Buell. He has always' been a
quiet man, steady and industrious—
qualifications whicti especially fit him
for the duties of treasurer. We believe
him worthy of your vote.

as were ever placed on any ticket, by
any party, for tbe consideration of our
citizens. All are taxpayers, and heavy
ones at that. They are also men who
have no superiors in business ability,
and every voter who has the best interests of his ward and city at heart,
will, we believe, support these men at
the polls.
* *
*
It is fortunate tbat the Republicans
of the 1st ward nominated a property
holder for supervisor. I-To one but a
taxpayer should be allowed to fill such
an important position. Jas. L. Welch,
the Republican nominee, has already
filled that position with credit to himself, his ward ..nd his city. He bas
succeede_ in getting the assessed valuation of his ward reduced $5,000 since
he became supervisor, whicb speaks
-veil for his services for bis ward.
Moreover, be is an active business man
and hisl9 years' residence in the ward
gives him a familiarity with its affairs.
Tbe voters of the first will recognize
tbese in.por.aut things to be considered, and will do that whicti is for their
own best interests in re-electing him.
* *
*
Thos. S. Dorsey, or "Tom" as he is
familiarly called by everyone, is the
Republican candidate for supervisor
of the 2d ward. He is a man oi calm
judgment, and a worker for whatever
he has in hand, which characteristic
and energy haye made him many
friends. He has an established business, a pleasant home, and his several
years' residence here, together witb a
familiarity of what will be required of
a supervisor, make bim especially well
qualified for the position to which be
should be elected. Withal, he is possessed of tact, whicb qualideation
counts for everything in a supervisor.
The best interests of the 2d. ward and
of the city at large will be served in
electing "Tom" Dorsey supervisor.
* *
Tbe Republican caucus of the 3d
v/ard made a good selection in naming
Melvin O. Austin as ibeir candidate
for supervisor. He is an old pioneer,
having been a resideut of bis ward for
upwards of a quarter of a century; he
is a steady, careful worker and would
make a good supervisor.
* *
*
The nomines*- for constable, Geo. T.
Smith 1st ward, John B. Young 2d
ward and Milton R. Lee 3d ward, are
al) good men who will perform their
duties in the proper manner.

we should have received the same decent treatment, but 'twas not so.

W. P. Lewis, our cigar manufacturer, has now one of the best locations
in tbe city and has a much more complete cigar and tobacco store than is
usually found in a city of tbis size.
His leading brands of cigars are great
favorites with all who have tried them.
In conversation with Mr. Lewis a reporter for this paper elicited the fact
that he has now on hand enough tobacco to last eight months. In lieu of
the present war outlook this is a good
stroke of business and speaks well for
tbe gentleman's foresight, as if war
comes on the price of that commodity
will go racing up the scale, and it is
safe to say that there are but few factories that are as well supplied to-day.
In the manufacture of his brands of
cigars be uses nothing but the pure
Havana filler, Connecticut binder and
Sumatra wrapper, the latter costing
$4 per pound. He also uses the Zim-
mer Havana filler. This last is grown
near Dayton, O., and it bas puzzled ex-
pert tobacconists at times to designate
the difference between it and the genuine Havana. About Dayton is tne
only place in this country where the
growers have reached that sta^e of
perfection in growing such a fine grade
of tobacco. In the cheaper grades of
cigars other brands are sometimes
used, such as "the Onondaga flHer.
Lovers of the weed can feel sure white
smoking a cigar of Mr. Lewis' manufacture that it can't be "beet" but it
is tobacco of the finest quality.
