Zemp in Ward 0, said that probably at the end of two yearn he could tell what he had douo for the uity, for hiu opponent had dono nothing. Moore'u statement provok ed a grout deal of laughter. J. F. Smith fj*om Ward 1 wan uguin called but way mill absent Newton C. lioykin, candidate for Aldermun from Ward t> wiih culled, but was ubbcnt, R. T. Uoudule, first to announce for mayor, was ncut culled. Dr. Goouuto seemed perfectly ut ease und proved himself to be the silver tongued orator ot the evening. lie deemed it an honor to he beforo?tho people of Camden seeking mayoral ty nonors und would deem it a aiill greuter honor to serve Cumdeu in that cupaeity. lie promised, if e.ectfcu, to use his best efforts to H.er*e all interests and promised u progressive administration in keep ing wkn sound businesH. If elect ed ho wanted the co-operation of every citizen, thut not divided wo fail, but "United Wo Movo For ward." Th.ut he wuu a booster and not u knocker. "Rooster's can't luy but they cun boost," said he. The commi&aioners of public works need ed the hearty co-operation of every one. Wanted an excellent street, health and fire department, and a council that wus "on the Job." Dr. Goodule closed his remarks with the ifollowihg good advice to the oooEtora and knockers: "Here's to Camden, the best in the land; those who don't like, it can leave it." ?/ 1. <J. Houjih, who is also seek ing the office of mayor, was next called. Mr. llough stated that he i did not intend making a long ad dress. What he had ;to say would bo clear cut und to the point. Jle fa/oied macadamizing Main street; sale of opera house, and wanted a j change in police department and change, in Recorder's office. Said in the police department he had wit nessed a case of where a prisoner h*d neen put on cold cement floor without accomodations. Had had requests cf Mm to tuke suits against c ty for confinement in such place. At this point Mayor lirasington made the statement that the cells were ciowded and all of the bed fl ng had been utilized. Mr. Hough s reply -that he had been there more : than once, provoked quite a groat j (leal of laughter from those who > knew him in his# younger days. But ; tuoEe knowing him now as an lion- j arable* upilght citizen, can hardly, question his motives. He was mak- j ing war on the . Recorder . because ' lie did not think he gave a square deal. He was flfn favor of a progres sive sot of young men to hold the , reins of government. Did not want voters to support him on account of personal reasons, but for what lie stood for. Said he was in favor of direct taxes insiecd of licenses, if such could be brought about. At th 8 juncture Mr. Graddick made tho statement that when ho came here a few years ago he was paying a $10 license, but new it had none to $25. H. L. Watkin8, another candidate for Mayor, was next called. Mr. Watklns stated that he was the felJ L,w who suggested the city politi cal meeting two years ago ? not thinking at the time that he would be a candidate this time, and that he could not make a speech, had heen "caught at his own game." He stated that for many years he had been chief of the fire depart ment, that this had" given him an insight into the needs along this line. He favored municipal owner ship two years ago. He wanted a p(ill together spirit. Wanted equal lights to all and special privileges to none. Wanted to get out of the old rut, and wanted a sound busi ness administration. C. H. Yatos, the second candi date to announce for mayor, was the last speaker. Mr. Yates said that he thought his previous ex perience in city council in meeting the dispensary deficit several yeara^ ago might stand him in hand in meeting the perplexing situations that might arise in the near future. That socn we would be brought face to face with qulto a heavy in debtedness. That his 25 years in all 'departments cf life among us made him no stranger. Said that ho thought the other sections of the citv were discriminated against in the matter of water and fire pro tection. Promised relief in so far as he was able if elected. Want ed s'reet improvements extended. Said the opora house was built by bonds voted bv the citizens luul that if it was to.be sold thepeople should have a voice in the matter. S\id he knew present building was jnot uptodate and shuddered to think I of the consequences in ease of fire j or any alarm when building was full I' of peoplo. He introduced bill when in council to have same protected by fire escapes. Said he had heard numerous com plain's from county YK?opld" about certain ordinances. IS U l\e favored bringing county and 1 city people nearer together in a friendly spirit? orn could not pros iP^r without the other. Said that -rnmrr had renewed him ~that he j. would jjrant permit to social clubs, but "TlC~ w&nled to state Vhnt this was untrue. That If elected ho would not allow a eocial club por mit.

Jno. A. Davison iji ?? oduced the Kev. I)r, Chapman, of tlroonville, who made a most excel lent address. Since the building of that church a few years ago, a debt of $4,000 has been hanging over i-t. Th,is was like a mill stone around the' necks of the members, wjio determined to caucel it. So on WedneBdny eve ning they thought the time was ripe for it, and almost in less time than it takes to tell the story^ the sum of $3,200 was raised. The remaining $800, is In sight..
