PEoPLLE's PARTY CRITICISMS.
When asked what the peoples party in
tended to do in the city coming election,
II. L. Forrest said today:
rIhe peoples party Of this city does not
intend TO take any strictly partisan action
there has been some very serious abuse of
official power on the part Of members Of the
city government. There is a strong demand
by the people, irrespective of party, that
these abuses shall cease. There has been
entirely too much extravaganza in expendi-
lures too much raising-of the basis Of tax
alton under the thin plea of equalizing.
too many private jobs on the part of some
members of the council taking the place of
public interests. Taxation has become rob
berry to such an extent that men of capital
who might otherwise be led to invest here.
have been driven away Some of the best
people of the city would leave if they
could sell out for less than their assessed
valuation. These are the important facts
before the people in the coming election.
The employment of home labor is still
living issue. And home labor should be
employed to the exclusion of foreign
labor. We judge that it matters very little
to the people whether you label ticket
democrat or republican. We firmly believe
that they will demand that whoever asks
for theirvotes shall stand squarely upon
these issues and be pledged to do ali in
their power to reduce the unjust burden of
taxation; to economize in every branch of
the city government; to stand by home
labor, and see that no bogus contracts are
made or pet schemes worked through.
The peoples party is square on these
issues"
MAYOR R. G. o'BRIEN.
Asked whether he intended to be can
didate for denomination for the Office of
mayor. General O'Bren said: Eyes,
have been thinking about the matter and
am rather inclined to think that will be
in the field. A number of prominent men
have spoken to me and suggested that il
would be a good idea for me to run. For
my part, feel that could serve the city
