A Memorial for the
Inventor of the Gas Range
A number of women in one of the larg-
er cities have seriously proposed the build-
ing of a handsome memorial for the
^ inventor of the GAS RANGE.
Whether or not the movement will be
carried to a successful conclusion is un-
certain, but the idea is worthy.
These women made a study of inven-
tions of the last lOO years which had pro-
duced the most benefits to their sex.
They decided, unanimously, that the gas
range stood high on the list by reason of
its cleanliness, convenience and labor-sav-
ing achievements.
The cost of gas ranges and the expense
of operation have been reduced steadily
year by year, and now any woman of mod-
erate circumstances can cook with gas.

JAS. S. TWYFORD
Jmes S. Twyford, at present city at-
torney and former assistant prosecut-
ing attorney, is a candidate for Mayor
under the commission form of govern-
ment on the Republican ticket.
Mr. Twyford was a supporter of the
charter when the same was first writ-
ten. "Jimmy," as he is commonly
known among hundreds of his friends,
is an ex-union printer, and worked "at
the case" for several years, at the same
time studying law at night, also work-
ing hard to get an education, and was
admitted to the bar several years ago.
Mr. Twyford ably typifie- the class
of men that commission-governed cities I
bring to their executive offices—the
clean, honest, able and successful busi-
ness men whose record in office is
but a repetition of their business sue-1
cess.
ne stands for the strict enforce-
ment of all city ordinances lawfully
enacted and the enforcement of law.
Mr. Twyford earnestly asks the sup-
port of all persons voting at the pri-
mary, who believe that he would, as
mayor, give the city an honest, con-
servative business administration.—
