Otto S. Langum, the present sheriff of Hennepin county, is a candidate for mayor of Minneapolis As sheriff he has shown he is devoid of color preju dice in all his official actions He has retained Mr 'John Allison as one of his deputies during all the time he has been sheriff, which is the "best evidence," as lawyers say. It is rea sonable to believe that he will not change his principles if he is elected mayor, which he undoubtedly will be next Tuesday. But each colored voter should do his duty and vote for him to show appreciation for what he has done and as evidence of faith in what he will do Get in the band wagon and vote for Otto S. Langum for mayor of the mighty metropolis of Minnesota. The social affair par excellence of the week was the grand concert and Hallowe'en ball given by Pride of Min nesota Lodge No 5, at Arcadia hall, last Monday evening. To start with, the hall is the most beautiful in the city for a dancing party, and then the ladies, "Heaven bless 'em!" were superbly gowned and their beautiful faces wreathed with smiles, such a combination "can't be beat," and the result was all that could be wished for There were upward of 300 per sons the hall which speaks well for the popularity of the management committee and the effective work of its members The excellent souvenir program was another striking evidence of the committee's work.

MCCRACKEN PRESIDES A very enthusiastic meeting of the Eighth Ward Republican Organization was held in the assembly rooms of the St. Francis Hotel on last Monday evening. The chairman of the organ ization was unable to be present and Mr. F. D. McCracken was selected to take charge of the meeting. Mr. Mc Cracken seemed to be the right man in the right place and his timely re marks throughout the evening were so well received that he was compli mented and congratulated by several of the old Republican leaders who were present. His introduction of our own Wm. T. Francis as a candidate for Representative was greatly ap plauded. Mr. Francis received quite an ovation when he stepped' on the platform. His speech received care ful attention and frequently he was interrupted by applause. At the con clusion of his^ speech Mr. Francis was enthusiastically applauded and as sured by many of those present of their support. Messrs. E Parish, Chas. Parker and Edward Lott also addressed the organization on behalf of the Republican National and State Tickets. PAID ADVERTISEMENT. Prepared and issued by Thos.

It is safe to say that all candidates want our votes, but before using our right of franchise we should consider the merits of all, and vote for the best interest of our city. It is a pleasure for me to call par ticular attention to our friend Noyes C. Robinson, candidate for Clerk of the District Court. He was a deputy under the late Matt Jensen and was723 unanimously chosen by the Judges of the District Court to fill the vacancy. This in itself is the best recommenda tion any voter could have and my de sire at this time is to impress on our people to do their best on behalf of N. C. Robinson. The fact that he is going to win is not in my opinion sufficient, we should show that a good and efficient public servant is appre ciated by all, and that his meritorious services in the past have not been for gotten. It is well to give honor where honor is due and in honoring N. C. Robinson you honor yourself. Thos. H. Lyles.

In "The Wanderer, (Schubert) and "The Two Grenadiers" (Schumann), Mr. Bur leigh, with splendid artistic abandon and courage, soared above mere physical stress, and rendered both off these numbers with spirit anedn fervor.
