Moscow should have no factions and no factional fights, better class of citizens want to see Moscow a bigger, better and cleaner town and should unite with that end in view and elect a strong man for mayor and a strong city council. The ward elects as mayor should be one, who has never been identified with any faction and can be supported by all. We have many such men. Let us elect one such as mayor and give him a good strong council. There are two men in the city hall whose records have been good. They have served the city long and well and have given general satisfaction. Those men are J. R. Strong, city clerk, and L. T. Hammond, city treasurer are efficient and each should be re-elected. The city clerk is elective, Hammond has served long as the appointee of several mayors, who retained him in office because of his expected end. The Allies have occupied more German territory and, in the light of past experiences with that gained. The city treasurer appointive, Mr. ability and worth, Mr. Strong was retained by the voters for the same reasons. The Germans will pay the time for bluffing has come to a sudden and (to the Germans) unwise, will not yield possession until the debt Germany owes the world, or that much of it as can be paid in coin or merchandise, shall have been paid.
