S., 900 to equslize her rolls. City ring
economy!
IT is eater to vote for the men who
do not receive their nomination at the
hands of the BOSS"
THE citizens object to the old gang
naming the incoming city admins
tration, hence this fight.
THE books in the future will be
opened If Pasehal is elected, and the
old books examined lso.
A wise economy will save scots on
the 81 in the routine expenditures
OF the city government.
AN empty city treasury and heavy
floating debt are the legacies of the
old gang to the city.
THE large levies paid by this city
within the past four years are ex-
hausted, and with them Is also ex-
hausted the patience of the people
with the administration that squan-
dered them. They ask change.
The streets and alleys are: in q
deplorable condition. and q new order
of cleanliness Is wanted.
THE people are not so much OPP
posed to the "boss' ticket as to the
source from which 1t comes.
THERE ale good men on the Shar-
dein ticket, but they represent bad
power behind the throne.
THIS movement for new deal all
round in city affairs is an emphatic
protest against the old order.
WHY should 1t cost twelve times
as much TO do the same work In San
Antonio that it does in Galveston?
CONTINUE the present recklessness
two years longer and where will San
Antonio be? You tell.
BY virtue of what authority does
the county judge assume to nominate
a city Administrations?
WHEN his sons came before him for
his blessing old Isaac felt the hairy
arms of the counterfeit Esau, but he
knew that the voice was Jacobs.
The people know that the voice is
that of the old boss. 1t is this more
than all else that decides the vote of
this city against the ring ticket.
WHEN Hogg pronounces against
the Paschal ticket 1t is time for good
San Antonians to support it.
WHAT right has Governor Hogg to
interfere in this city election and
threaten certain railroad men with
loss of their position if they do not
support the Shardein ticket?
TO what end.does the Hogg mix in
this city fight?
Is HoGG paying his political debts
to Callaghan by attempting to coerce
votes for his ticket.
THE aldermen say that there is no
way of ascertaining the amount of the
city's debt for current expenses. This
is a pretty way of administering the
affairs Of San Antonio. No wonder
that the people demand a radical
change, and distrust the influence in
the new government that has so mis-.
managed the old. No way of finding
ont the city debt for current expense.
Great Scott! 1t Is high time that
there was new deal and some
system introduced into the manage
Inent of the city's fir Gnces.
THE city government that has
withheld thousands of dollars from
the school fund of this city, in viola
ton of law, ls not to be trusted to
name its heir at law and consequent
apologist.
THE city auditor thinks that he
would require the services of an as.
sistant and time to ferret out what
the city owes for current expenses.
Better ferret out the old management
and place the affairs of the city in the
hands OF men who know enough
about business TO keep the accounts.
THE democrats of San Antonio rec
ognize that they have larger repre-
sentation on the Paschal ticket than
on the so. called democratic one. You
cannot scare them with a party roor-
bach.
THOSE who defend the old Gala
