For the Children
For typical young Americans who are doing something every
hour of the day, and who are putting their footwear through the
toughest kind of endurance test in the process. ye have given
a great deal of thought to, shedding the coming generation, and
.we are anxious that mothers should appreciate our efforts. Our
shoes are made of splendid solid leather to begin with; they are
stitched in a reinforced, dependable way by workmen who get
paid for the quality and not the quantity of their output. We
specialize in carrying a most complete size range because we
know the importance of perfect anatomical fittings for growing
feet.

0 FURTHER MOVE
YET TO COMPLETE
BACONS TICKET
The announcement by Col Wm. J.
Paeon that he Is a candidate for mayor
hi caused considerable speculation In
political circles. It la admitted, both in
the cttlsens' league and Williams'
camps, that the entry of a third ticket
m me municipal campaign win cause
considerable realignment of force.
Just what the reault will be It Is too
early to predict, especially as the tlckst
headed by Col. Bacon Is still Incom
plete. Col. Bacon and Judge P. Harry Kelly
both say they have received asuurance
of support already from hundreds of
their personal friends and that so soon
as the ticket is completed, thev pur
pose to wax an active fight on the
lines laid down In Cel. Bacon's pre
liminary announcement.
H is regarded ai a certainty, too. that
pave Wells, city paymaster and pur
chasing agent, will be one of the candi
dates for commissioner, although he has
not yet made formal announcement of
that fact.
A delegation of railroad men and men
fflllete-j with orrnised labor conferred
with Col. Bacon Friday morning, Insist
ing that O. W. Miller, present commis
sioner of finance, he placed en the
ticket. They Insisted that he has more
friend among organised labor than any
other man In Memphis, and that as he
announced nil Intention to run for re
election more than h month ago, and
h made a preliminary campaign, his
aaaiuon to tiie ticket would strengthen
It with the people.
No other names were hoard Krldav in
connection with the ticket, than thoao
mentioned Thursday, which Included
Jos. W. Shepherd, South Memphis
grocer, who was for years a member of
in cuy civil service commission: Oil
btrt Scnloss, Insurance man, and O. L
Biggs and J. T. Holly, both members of
in carpenters' union, which has more
members than anv other union labor
organisation probably except some -of
me Dig railroad brotherhoods.
Little comment on the announce
msnt of Col. Baeon and the new ticket
came from candidates on the other two
tickets. Members of the Citizens' league
were Inclined to hall Col. Bacon's an
nouncement as being favorable to them,
for the reason that It proves, they as
sert, that no political Influences are be
hind their candidates, and that their
stand as a nonpartisan organlaation Is
acknowledged.
Mr. Williams merely said that he be.
Ileved the organisation back of him was
so strong that no new ticket could make
fufflclent inroads on his strength to
defsat htm.
Peceloppients of the next few weeks
will determine Just where a majority of
the voters may he found. Mr. Bacon
and his friends have had considerable
political experience and the work done
by all three tickets, probably will re
sult In heavy additional registration
before the election, and possibly In a
much larger vote than would have been
cast If no new element had entered the
campaign. ,
