THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

| You ask me why have changed-why I have
left the Republicans aud why have joined The
Non-P artisans.
| The answer is simple one. 1t is because
am opposed to all bosses and boss rule, In polit-
| zeal matters In our municipal affairs.
| The boss In politics Is very dangerous In city

AS result of my observation / have come to
| the conclusion that there does not exist polt

| Such a man should not have voice In the di-

Those who assume 10 present US with can

What this city needs at this time is an honest

on the subject OF local politics am for the best
men for Office be they Republican, Democrat or
members OF any other party.
| You have also asked ME for my opinion OF Mr..
| Ellert, the choice OF the Non-Partlsans for the

his term In Office as member of the Board of
Supervisors he has shown himself capable,
honest and faithful, and he has also proved that
be is not In with any cltques who seek TO enrich

conduct the affairs Of the city on business prin

record that he has already made for himself.
