bluster which emanates from the oppo
sition camp and that it will all fade
away on primary day and that will be
nothing to it but the shouting that
tho rank and file of those belonging to
the grand old party residing in that

'Incumbent.
It is the solemn duty of the voters
residing in the various wards in this
city to vote and work for the best men
to represent them as city clerk, city
treasurer and as aldermen, regardless
of their politics.
To the everlasting credit of Alder
man Alexander A. McCormick, who is a
first-class business man, a highly cul
tured gentleman at all times and an
ideal citizen who would make a dandy
candidate for mayor of Chicago in 1919,
whose splendid record so far is one to
such an extent as one of the very valu
able and constructive members of the
city council, that he will not have the
slightest opposition either at the pri
maries nor at the election to follow,
and he will be returned to that body
from the Sixth Ward with both hands
down.

COLORED WOMAN ELECTED AS
SISTANT POSTMISTRESS.
Mrs. Elnora Gresham Made Assistant
House Postmistress.
An interesting contest before the
representatives in the house caucuses
of Friday and Saturday was that in
which the assistant to the legislative
postmistress was involved. Ten can
didates were aspirants for the place,
eighf'of them being from Des Moines.
The applicants included two Colored
women, Mrs. Elnora Gresham of Ce
dar Rapids and Mrs. Frances M. Hall,
of Des Moines. Tho contest finally
resolved itself into a three cornered
affair between the Colored women and
their White opponent. A- combination
of the Gresham and Hall strength re
suited in putting the Cedar Rapids
woman over a winner. This is the
first instance in the history of the state
of Iowa, a Colored woman has been
elected to fill a position in the Iowa
Legislature. Mrs. Gresham has the
indorsement of the commercial club of
Cedar Rapids, tho lieutenant-governor-elect
and the Iowa Federation of Col
