The Mis-ion district is ably represented in the candidates for puplic honors, in the person of the favorably known gen- tlemar, Mr. Martin Fragley. He has had extensive experi- ence in municipal street and improvement matters, and unites with a practical knowl- edge, that hooesty of purpose and tenacity to enforce his principles, which may assure all citizens that the branch of service entrusted to him will be correctly cared for.
