VOTERS WILL DECIDE WHO HE SHALL BE DECEMBER 4.
Candidates Prance and Chamberlain Sketched for the Information of the Voters. Two Good men, but France is Better Equipped for the Oftice.
EUGENE FRANCE The Citizens' nominee for mayor of Aberdeen has been a resident of this city for the past twenty years, coming to Aberdeen in 1886 with Capt. J. M. Weatherwax, with whose advent dates the real birth of Aberdeen. Mr. France was in the confidential employ of Mr. Weatherwax after their arrival here, and for some time managed a logging camp at Porter, for the Weatherwax Lumber Company.
Arriving in this country when timber had no recognized value, Mr. France at once realized that the facilities for manufacturing lumber on Grays Harbor were bound to make standing timber valuable, and for many years he devoted his energies to bringing needed capital from the East to invest in the then almost worthless timber lands, and it is safe to say that no man in Chehalis county was more successful in that direction. The wide acquaintance of Mr. France in Michigan, and the high esteem in which he was there regarded, rendered his undertaking comparatively easy.
From his arrival in Aberdeen, Mr. France was convinced that this was the site of a future large city, and in the dull times of the '90's his faith never wavered. To his untiring efforts, the building of the railroad into the north side of the city is largely due, and no measure to promote the progress of Aberdeen has ever failed to receive substantial aid from him.
As receiver of the Aberdeen bank, Mr. France-as in all other positions of responsibility and trust-showed tact and capacity that saved the depositors of the institution many dollars. As mayor of Aberdeen, Eugene France will bring to the service of the city, the ripe experience of a man of affairs; a thorough knowledge of the needs, resources and possibilities of Aberdeen; an unimpeachable integrity, and an earnest desire to advance the best interests of his home city.
His early foresight, hard work and frugality have placed him in a position of comparative wealth, leaving him absolutely free from any suspicion of seeking the office for selfish purposes. His well known ability to judge men confirms the belief of his friends that his appointments will be judicious ones, and that they will be made with no object but securing the best possible service for the city, is as certain as that he will be elected by the largest majority ever given a mayor in Aberdeen.
DR. G. E. CHAMBERLAIN The nominee on the republican ticket has been a resident of Aberdeen less than two years. He bears the reputation of being an able physician and an educated, energetic citizen, which is borne out by the fact that he has already built up a lucrative practice here. He is a man of family and owns his home in the city, and, under some circumstances, it might be a pleasure to support the doctor for this office. But, when his knowledge of the needs, possibilities and requirements of Aberdeen is contrasted with that of Mr. France, the voter in his own and the city's interest, is compelled to decide in favor of the latter.
The doctor is also handicapped by the tough element that is rallying so strenuously to his support, an element that has no interest in the city except to obtain special privileges to violate the laws. As is the case with several other candidates on this ticket, Dr. Chamberlain suffers from being in bad company, and it is generally believed by his friends that he, an ardent republican, was inveigled into accepting this nomination without a full knowledge of existing conditions.
