D. B. Ward thought that it would be
proper to defer the nomination of candi-
dates until evening. There were a good
many Probibitionists, he said, who were
not in the hail. and they should sll have
chance at the selection.
e. B. Sutton considered it highly proper
to 20 ahead at once. 1--WE will have hard
work to find thirty-ive suitable candi-
should not put it of. for fear we don't get
the ticket all made out today" It was

lows:

AL 49, II T.
JOHN BusHELL.
LEE FAIRcHILD,
CLARK DAVIS.
The platform is as follows:
To the Voters of Seattle: We, your fellow-citi-
gems present for your consideration tho follow.
ing facts: The saloon system here, as In many
other cities. holds the balance of political
power between the two old parties. The in
fiuence Of this evil is apparent in every cleo
ton and in the acknowledgements of laws deal
ing with the sale of intoxicsnts and evils pro-
dueed by that dirsful trade. As APPARENT as the
evil itself is the fact that neither the Republ-
can or Democratic parties in the city OF Seattle
are willing to combat the power OF the saloon.
They have again and again. by permitting the
most glaring vice to be practiced within the
city shown their serviie obedience to the law
less element.
Believing it is for the good of every law-abid.
should be in the hands of men free from the
dominance of the enemi of go ID government.
we ask for such your support, men who are
willing to come before you as candidates in fall
accord with the following platform:
First-Believing the saloon to be the great pro-
Queer of crime. we demand its abolition as far
as possible under the national, state and city
laws which new exist. or which NAV hereafter
be framed. in the interests OF humanity. as we
believe license for the sale of intoxica Is in any
form is wrong in prime pie and opposed TO the
best interests of the people.
Second-It having teen proved by past exper-
fence that it is an unwise policy to place a city
at the mercy of any corporation, we favor the
retention by the city of its own water front,
and that no privilege be given to any company
or corporation. unless said privileges be subject
10 recall By the city under certain conditions.
Third-we favor the rapid completion OF a
perfect system Of sewerage AMI the extension
of the water supply of the city. expressing at
the same time our sincere condemnation OF the
city council for their ne yleet of these two i'm
porrsnt items of good city government.
Fourth-While believing that the adoption Of
the new charter will make it possible 70 i'm.
prove the present unsatisfactory condition of
our city government, We express ourselves as
in full sympathy with Article XIII, which, II
adopted, will make eight hours constitute q
days work for any employe OF the city.
Fifth = Believing that the wors ingmen OF
Seattle whatever be their trade or calling. pro.
lv1ded il be lawful, entitled to sutfi lent time
In which to enjoy themselves without being
compelled to max sunday holiday more thar
. holy day, We favor = general cessation of all
toll 1t p. N. on each and every Saturday
where such cessation d ,es not interfere with the
general good, thus giving the workingmen and
their families The opportunity Of esjoying Q
weekly half holiday.
Sixth-we call for the prompt and complete
