Election the Annual Struggle for Supervisor and Mayor

The piece profiles candidates in a bitter election, predicting defeat for John Dougherty over his alleged purchase of the nomination and criticizing his acts as supervisor. It also marks Democrats' nomination of Charles Parker for mayor and argues Parker’s ties to a transit tax and the L. & M. & Ry project justify voter opposition.

Dunkirk Campaign Sparked By Local Attacks In Ward Two

A heated letter denounces Elias Allenbrand as a reproach and disgrace casting doubt on his public character and accuses Democratic ring politicians of ignoring the German element.

Local Races Stir Community Support for Russell and Jones

In a heated campaign the Brooks Locomotive Works backs Davin Russell with a 35 percent edge over Bookstaver allies while Thomas C. Jones vendors a principled, business-oriented bid for mayor. German voters back candidates like Amreys and Ringer as ward contests test loyalty to the Bookstaver regime.

Republicans name strong ticket for city offices

The front page touts a Republican slate headed by Davin Resse and Russell with Warner Fisher remaining as assessor. It names George M. Ane for Tax Receiver, John Burileine as Excise Commissioner, Alvor W. Ruyyonos as Sealer of Weights and Measures, Crist Quaspt and Freep Sonorz as German candidates, George B. Dove Lass as Highway Commissioner, and Jones Works as Overseer of the Poor, urging broad support and asserting integrity and ability across the ticket.

Dutch Not a German on the Democratic Ticket

A terse political remark highlights perceived party misalignment with candidate identities, noting six Germans on the Republican slate and asserting contrast with the Democratic lineup. The statement reflects partisan frustration and ethnic labeling in campaign discourse.

Victory and revolt within the Second ward politics

A partisan column denounces the Democratic ticket led by Bookstaver and White, blasting German candidates and calling for defeat. It attacks Elias Allenbrand for past municipal deals, alleging corruption and dishonesty and urging Second ward voters to reject him at the polls.

Brooks Works Must Elect Russell Headline

The Locomotive Works houses many sincere Democrats and Republicans with the Democrats in the majority. Workers plan a decisive vote for David Russell, expressing fatigue with the Bookstaver ring and signaling a strong shift in support.

Remember Parker and the Lion Street Sewer

Fragmented political rally text urges votes for Jones for mayor and attacks opponents. Mentions Dr. Burros Barrney, Tussell, and Allenbrand with crude digs and local references to Parker, pavement, L. A. & M.S. Ry, and stove bills. Band plays as the observer rises.
