for high license, and went into the Board
and found it unwise he's the very man to
do what he deems right, notwithstanding
his pledge.
D. A. LTNDLEY.
I am glad to be able 20 vote for once for
a candidate who. if he goes into the Office
OF Second Trustee, goes in without having
been compelled to pledge himself to vote
for long list of incompetent and corrupt
petty officials. As to the city charter, l
don't believe there are five men in the city
who know whether a new charter would
be the right thing or not.

s. B. Smith, late Public Administrator
said: / am for Stevens. | can see no rea-
son why a Republican should desert the
ticket. don't think that any one should
bject to John Stevens because he viii not
give a decided opinion upon an untried
question. He has the right to object TO be-
ing pledged for or against what is not in
the platform of his party. l know Stevens
well. He can be trusted.
H. wEINsrocK.
believe Mr.. Stevens to be representa-
tive and competent man for the position to
which he is nominated. Therefore | have
faith in his good sense, his sound judg-
ment, to act for the best welfare of the
community, and hence am for him, trust
ing to his character for justice and his de-
votion to the best interests of his city.
H. wAcHHoRsr.
have Just returned from San Francisco
and hence am not very well posted as to
the situation, but want to say that l am
Republican, and as such want to see
john Stevens elected. | know him and be-
heve him TO be safe man and one that
will guard the best interests of the people,
this fight. If l understand the matter, the
Republican party have not made it such,
though / understand some outside parties
have.
W. B. MILLER.
am Republican, and as such / cannot
conceive why these side issues should have
been forced into the fight. / regard them
as of no consequence. 1t is our duty as
Republicans to do all within our power to
elect the Republican ticket from top to
bottom. The party never presented a
better set of men for Office in this city than
the present nominees.
VIM. S. scHAw
| have known John Stevens for many
years, and believe he represents the best
interests of the community. / consider
Mr.. Stevens to be tower of strength to the
Republican ticket.
PROFESSOR E. C. ATKINSON.
have known Mr.. Stevens over twelve
years, and what know of the man, / be-
lieve he can be trusted in any position he
may be called to fill.
W. P. COLEMAN,
A man who has always been identified
with Sanra oDtntS hest ipfaraSfc said
want 10 see John Stevens elected / know
him to be straightforward and honorable
citizen; man that the people can safely
trust. The charter and other side issues
should cut no figure in the election The
present charter is good enough for the
time being. When we can find system
of government that can be operated more
economically in the interest of taxpayers
than our present forms, then there will be
time enough to agitate the matter of
new charter.
C. H. CUMMINGS.
| have known John Stevens for thirty
years, and know him to be a pure and
good man. l believe it is impolitic and
improper for any man to pledge himself
during political campaign. l knew Mr..
Stevens as a School Director, in which
position he was "a No. l." and extremely
faithful and conscientious in his duties. I
believe if be is elected Trustee he will carry
| out most fully the wishes of the people to
the very best interests of the people.
FRANK MILLER.
am opposed to the whole pledging bust
ness. 1t is useless and next to an insult to
ask man of Mr. Stevens character and
standing to pledge himself to do anything
that will be for the best interests of the
people and the city. Mr. Stevens can be
implicitly relied upon to stand for the high
est interests of the people in any and all
matters concerning which he may be called
