There really seems to be no-issue, except good government, and all candidates on both tickets stand for that. Both he and Mayor Truitt are but the candidates and their friends are becoming interested and will exert every effort to win. The conflict promises to be interesting and to bring out a full vote, which is a good thing for the city.

The proposed employment of a city manager has many supporters but the people are not taking as deep interest as one would expect. The attendance at the mass meeting in the Guild hall last night to discuss the matter was disappointing. It will require a campaign of education to get out a full vote on that proposition. There seem to be many who are opposed to trying an experiment at this time, an opposition is developing from unexpected sources. Those favoring the change are seeking state candidates from numerous towns where the plan has been tried and will give this information to the voters as soon as it is obtained.

John G. Gibson, candidate of the People's ticket for mayor, whose picture is here shown, is a pioneer of the Palouse country, having lived near Colton for many years and in Moscow for 12 years. He was mayor of Moscow and those who induced him to make the race again declare his administration was one of the best in the history of the town. Both he and Mayor Truitt are known to almost every voter in Moscow.
