SOME MORE OPPONENTS OF COUNCIL POLITICS | L. ©. Lockett and John McKay Express Their Strong Dis- approval. L. C. Lockett, proprietor of Lockstt's shoe store, says: "I don't approve of politics in municipal at- fairs. It {s a mistake to have the business of the city carried on fro the viewpoint of political advantag-. We have had experience and the | people were disgusted with the per- | formances of the old councils that lattempted to fight out politics at the city's expense. The people elect {aldermen to do the city's business land they should not be asked to vote for men because they are Grits | OT Tories. There has been better | progress | dropped." mited, dealers In fine furs, express- {ed hls strong disapproval of the | proposal to carry politics into mun- { fcipal affairs. "I don't feel that I have got to vote for a man chosen | by any executive. I was an alder- | man for some paws and know tha | disadvantage of having politics in i the council. It is not in the best in- terests of the city." Dr. H. A. Day stated: that he was | Strongly opposed to having politics | In the council, and was in sympathy | with the Whig in its campaign to | keap politics out of the council. { | | John MeKay, of John McKay Li- | John H. Davis, of Davis dry dock: "I am opposed to politics inthewoun- cil because it has been proved that {it Is detrimental to the Interests of {the city. No man, whd desires to {see the interests of the city deait with properly, wants the time of the aldermen taken up with political | matters. We don't want politics at |all and those who advocate it are [ustise a very serious mistake." | William Murray, auctioneer: yt {1s a matter for extreme regret that {any citizens who know the history of | the efty council should propose to tn. troduce politics once more. How can | the council work for the city's inter- ests if it is divided Into two or more groups each subordinate to a poltiical executive? Such matta-s as appointments and hte awarding of contracts are liable to be handled in | @ manner to benefit the party rathar than to benefit the city." Stephen Roughton, district man- ager of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, Brock street: "I certainly do not approve of the proposal to carry politics into municipal affairs. I think that the city business should be free from party politics and ald- ermen should think of the interests of the city first and foremost. They cannot do that when they are elest- ed on a party ticket." Our readers buy in our town. -- NEW SHIPMENT OF NOTE PAPER and STATIONERY in Special Gift Boxes.

Boston, Mass., Nov" 25.--Georges Clemenceau yesterday at the Tre- mont temple accepted his opponents' challenge to make definite proposal whereby the United States can par- ticipate in European affairs, and suggested that American observers o tive part in {ts deliberations. "Never were circumstances bet-| ter," he said "Go there and you will meet the eastern question which is 'causing trouble to the world for the last five hundred years, and you will do more.

Ever since the separation of Charch and State the number of as- pirants for Catholic priesthood has steadily declined. Following that, the war took a big toll of priests who went on active service, and prevent- ed many y ung men who wouid have done so from joining the Church. A census of sone districts which hag | Just been taken shows that at Val- €nce there are only eight ordained priests for 100 parishes. The dio- (ese of which the old walled city of Carcassons is the capital, has seen its number of priests reduced by 168 in the last 20 years. Out of 419 parishes, 113 are withoy* a cure, In Rheims at the time of, the separation there were 640 serving 720 churches. Today there are only 410 priests ac tively at work. In 'Piris, it is stated the churches are better served. but In an enormous number of country churches mass can be celebrated only once or twice a month. ---- Afta: Grafters.

A New York Paper of recent date says: | Congressman-elect Daniel F. Mina- han is the Al Smith of the Ninth Dis trict's Democracy. The affection held | for the young erstwhile Orange ex- ecutive is really striking. It has been | many a day and there will he many | more days before a Democrat will | gain the successes he has in the faca | of his consistent "bucking" of the! party's organization. In the light of | the public's present state of mind, as! revealed at this year's election, it | would hardly be expected that Mina- | han would not be among Democrats running for office who were success- ful. His triumphs have been notable | primarily on account of the fact tha: | In order to win election in this over- | whelmingly Republican stronghold he | was compelled to defeat choices or! the party's ruling monarchs for the | nominatton. Probably our veracity would be scored were it said that every Democrat did not support him loyally, yet there js little disputing that those who "swear" by the or-| ganization naturally were quite luke- warm toward the candidacy on ac-| count of his well known independ- | t/to the Me ence. i It is not .so-called political luck | that enabled the Ninth's new Repre- | sentative to realize his ambition to return to Washington. His reputation for squareness, sincerity of purpose and faithfulness to the trust imposed | upon him is shared by everyone who | knows him or has had dealings, pol-| itical or otherwise, with Bim. He has | a strong personality that was not | originated by politics or cuitivatea | for political gain.
