May of Try the aters ofAsheville: , . r, . v I believe that the-one feature of the present campaign most pleasing to those who have the welfare of the city at heart is. its non-partisan feature. That national questions have nothing to do with an efficient, business-like city administration, everyone knows. The voter is left free to select that candidate whom he believes will best serve the common interest. To accomplish this he must select one who te free :from political-and financial entanglements one who can serve the whole people, the rich and poor alike and show special favors to none. ' -.. , l am a flrnrbeliever in true democracy. I cherish everyone of those institutions which-permit an orderly uprising at the polls. WeTiave been in the midst of such an uprising for two months and it will not bounded until tomorrow night. The earnest desire for a change in fact as well as in form in our city affairs which was responsible for the success of the charter has steadily grown. A realization of its force has reached the inner recesses of the city hall. Now, one member of the "organiation" is being sacrificed to save the head a subterfuge similar to that of the traditional glass-snake, which snaps it self: into pieces-when-in-imminent danger. If the head escapes, the body grows again. To-effect-a real change-in our city government, a new head must be elected one free from such entanglements. I have stated my qualifications for mayor in these columns, myself. I desired that, they be neither over-estimated norunderestimated. Well meaning friends often do the former and my political enemies are attending to the later. I could have filled "columns with endorsements of my candidacy but I doubt their efficacy. I have always stood on my own feet and I like to see another man do the same to vote as he sees, himself, not through the eyes of another, Z believe there are enough voters in flijg rity who destixe a, change in fact as well as in form to make that change and put mw. one member of the "organir "" Respectfully, Your Candidate for Mayor, HENRY J. OLIVE. ri Hi CUinUH CLOSES; ELECTION fter Week of Vigorous Work, Nominees Will Be Voted : for Tomorrow. Following a week of the most vig orous work on the part of the nomi nees seeking office In the election which will be held tomorrow, the campaign will come to a close tonight. Like the campaign waged by the can didates before the primary this cam paign has been clean and conducted on a high plane. Personalities have not entered into the contest and the nomi nees and their frtenda have gone about the work of the campaign in a way that speaks well for those who were selected by the citizens of Ashe vill last Monday as nominees to be vo ted for in tomorrow's election. Each nominee has been particularly anxious for the voter to know that he is seeking office solely on his merits a nd that no promises of rewards or hope of rewards have been made. After the primary last Monday when it was decided who should make the race for election, the various other candidates who were eliminated by the primary took their defeat In a most kindly way and nothing was said or done to cast a single reflection on any candidates on the conditions under which the primary was held. Im mediately following the announce ment of the successful candidates, they begun a campaign, which per haps has been the most vigorous ever waged in Ashevillo municipal elec tions. Newspaper advertising was used almost exclusively by the nomi nees and each presented his side of the case to the voters. One of the features of the close ness of the campaign will be mass me eting to be held tonight at the county court house by the forces sup por ting 1 Hiden Ramsey for com missioner of public safety.

U. !Tct good urlcss voted fey April 30, J 915- (PRO Ul WITH THE WEATHER BIMEJW With a' notable absence of, the fa mous April showers and a warmth re sembling the rars days of June, the fourth month of the annual series made a very eredltabl record with the local - weather bureau, according to the report just published.

The lowest 'tem perature for the month was 2B de grees on ths fourth, this being close to the minimum record of 23 degrees. The average dally excess as compared with the normal was 1.1 while the accumulated, deficiency since ths first of the year Is . , April's precipitation totaled i.M, although the normal established Is .0, making a deficiency of I.M.

The closing days of ths pony out fit contest will soon be upon us; therefore, it behooves the little men and women in the contest, and their friends to see to it that not one min ute of aluable time is lost or wasted. One thing that the busy little work ers and their supporters can know and fully understand and rely on Is this: No Information of any kind will at any time be given out by this newspaper or anyone connected with it as to the work dona or votes se cured by any candidate. Therefore any rumor to this effect that may be circulated is without foundation. Do not be bluffed by stories that this candidate o rthat one is holding back some large quantity of votes. Often the very purpose of such romors is to bluff you and get you to quit work In the belief that you have no chance. The people who will win these pony outfits are not ' those who circulate or pay any attention to rumors, but those who work and obtain votes. Votes will win; rumors will not. Do not let even your friends be influenc ed by such reports. There Is plenty of time for any one who has entered the contest to be come winners of the pony outfit The only thing needed Is confidence in your ability and determination not te give up until the last ballot has been counted and the result announced by the Judges. "Smile and the world smiles with you," Is just as true as the other version, and it gets results. . Work and your friends will work with you. Take our word for it and go out and try it. As soon as you show them that you are going to work and that you are determined to let nothing down you or defeat you they will rally to your assistance in a way that win surprise yow. Thsy will show you that In number and quality your friends are mors and better than you had ever suspected.
