One of the best endorsements that a candidate for public office could Iilllllmm possibly receive was one accorded Quincy Brooks, who is a candidate for 4 ML mayor of Bemidji. Erl 0 ) R DS e ? Mr. Bmolmj is the general superintendent of the Bemidji Box Manu- BE“'DJ] Pl NEE A ; facturing company and is held in the highest esteem by his conferees and ST o e J; s i the employes of the big imstitution. He is also popular with every class | e of the working men because he is one of them despite his official title. One of his petitions was being circulated in the plant of the Bemidji Manufacturing company, popularly known as the “handle factory,” when a group of employes gathered around the person circulating the petition. Three of the group had worked under Mr. Brooks and every one was en- thusiastic in having the opportunity to sign the paper to place him in nomination, stating that he was a splendid man, would make a good mayor and that they certainly would support him in the election February 19. Another incident, quite amusing, was when a petition was presented to a man who has worked at the box factory for two years. He was in- formed that Quincy Brooks was a candidate for mayor and would he sign the petition. The man demurred but when told that the person referred to was the superintendent of the plant exclaimed, “Say, if that’s Mr. Brooks here you bet I'll sign it. I didn’t know what his first name was. All I've ever heard him called was Mr. Brooks or Brooks. T'll certainly vote for him and you needn’t worry.” Another man was trying to tell a friend of his who Brooks' was: They were in a restaurant for breakfast. “Well,” commenced the ex- plainer, “You've seen him a lot of times. He goes down street in the poorest excuse for an auto you ever saw. He wears an old suit of clothes and a sweater and usually has a busted derby hat on. He’s over to the box factory.” The other fellow studied a few moments and replied, ‘“‘Sure I know him now.” The description tells the story of Quincy Brooks' democracy. But he doesn’t always appear according to the description, except when he is out with the “boys” on the job.

REWARD OF HONESTY AND EFFICIENCY When a man can act as the treasurer of a city for a period of six years and at the end of that time have his books and records gone over by a veteran expert accountant for the first time and have the findings of the expert dismissed with about three lines to the effect that the ac- counts were correct and that he hadn't a thing to say or even a recom- mendation to make for improvement, that man has every reason to pat himself on the back. And the taxpayers of the city have every reason to stretch forth their hands and do a little patting on said official’s back, also. ] That's just the predicament, if it may be so termed, that George Rhea is in. Mr. Rhea is the city treasurer of Bemidji. FHe has been serving the taxpayers as their city treasurer for the past six years, being elected annually for that period. He i¢ again a candidate for city treasurer at & the coming municipal election. He has filed his petition. And he will i again be elected. That's what a fellow gets for being honest and effi- clent in the office he occupies. George Rhea needs no further recommendation. Why?P Simply because they want to get in ahead of ‘any raise inv price. It is good business too. Manufacturers guarantee absolutely that ‘the price will not be lowered. Delay can only spell loss.

Lahr of the First ward not to again [ be a candidate came as a keen disappointment to residents of the First] ¥ ward who had the welfare of the city at heart. For four years Alderman || La.hr had represented his constituents in the city council and, as every-ji body knows, he had anything but a bed of roses in his endeavor to act in =y the best interests of the city and its people. He stood the gaff like al Trojan until this year when he came into his own and had the keen satis- || faction of serving as chairman of the finance committee and with credit to himself. Alderman Lahr’s constituents in the First had already started to make his re-election unanimous this spring but he chose another fleld of activity, and declined. s Dr. A. V. Garlock has been advanced as the successor to Alderman Lahr and there is every reason to believe that he will not be opposed and }| will give the people of the First and the entire city a good account of himself. If you want a FORD, February, March, April, May or June, just make your order read that way and we will do the rest. Sedan and Couplet have gone up $50.00 in price. Touring, Runabout and Truck are still the same. $360, $345, $600, F. O. B. Detrott. JOANTS SHOULD “COME BACK” S| Alderman Isadore Joanis of the Fifth ward should be returned to the council and there is every reason to believe he will he. Alderman Joanis was elected last spring for the one-year term at the first election the voters of the Fifth ward held when it became a part of the city of Bemidji. J. W. Smith was at that time elected for the two- year term. Since he has been in the council, Alderman Joanis has represented s his ward well and has been instrumental in obtaining much of value to 5 that part of the city, even though it was a new part of Bemidji and had not earned its spurs. ) There is much in store for the Fifth ward. It will not come in a minute, but it will come. Intelligent work is needed for its accomplish- ment and while the tail cannot wag the dog, Alderman Joanis always has received the heartiest co-operation in what he has had to offer and suggest. Joanis should “come back.” C. W.JEWETT CO,, Inc. Authorized Ford Sales & Service Telephone ‘474 Bemidji, Minn. 4I.-20'Deltraml Ave.
