3 1t Ia proper TO state In this connection that
the HERALD will not give Its support to mon
but to measures. 1t has labored faithfully and
commercially, financially, aud every other way
and never has measure been proposed which
could possibly advance Dallas In any parcu
lar that the HERALD has not advocated. This
paper Is not preparedf - nominate any candi-
dates to DO voted for at the approaching cleo
tion but II does advise our citizens to give their
support to no man who Is not outspoken at all
orr Streets sidewalks and sewerage. When
these become ACCOMPLISHED facts
other and y may be greater improvements will
follow. The spirit of public enterprise. is
abroad In this city, and no man can be elected to
Office next April who win endeavor to be ali
things TO all men, but he must stand flat-footed
and square.toed on the platform OF improve
ments. Business ren, see yo to Il"
