THE MAYOR, WHO IS HE?

The election of Boston's mayor is like the election of the President of the President of the United states in that it happens once in every man's undergraduate days. It is not quite so important, but it is often as interesting, and frequently more amusing. Today four candidates are so sure that they are to be people's choice that they have left off old-time political methods and placed the matter in the hands of that mysterious figure, the Common People. There has been no bitterness in this campaign; it has been a question of impressing upon the public how small a chance the other three opponents had of walking into the City Hall in an official capacity. A voter and a gambler both enjoy picking a winner. But if a voter were to take all the recent campaign speeches seriously, he would have difficulty in seeing which way the wind blew. One man deserves success at the polls today above all the rest, since he is the only one who promises to give Boston a better municipal administration than it has had for years. That man is Peters. IT is he whom we want to see as the next mayor of the city across the river. We, too, have picked him as the winner because he is the best.
