What the People are Saying.


The people know their friends.
Whenever any question that is
agitated that concerns their well
fare the people find out who are
their enemies. The present bond
election brings to view one of the
peoples enemies.
We have just passed through
one of the most trying contests in
the history of our community, the
Sunday law crusade. There were
25 men who had the courage to
print their names as prosecuting
committee, but there was one man
whose name did not appear in
print, because he disliked news
paper notoriety, Col. G.. w. Brack-
enridge; the committee of IS count
ed on the Colonel and his bank to
back them, and it is reported that
he did back them with his money.
X. X
No wonder the liberal people of
this city had a hard fight in the
face Of such opposition.
No class of our business men are
more heavily taxed for water than
our saloon men. Naturally this
class of business men used all the
means in their power to make the
committee of % feel the conse-
quences of injuring their business.
IT. so happens that in this bond fight
the saloon men have before them
an enemy more powerful than C..
o. Mcclure, and his fellow COM
mittee-men-they have the banker
and water-works monopolist.
The people who resisted the effort
to make graveyard of our city,
have before them the chief hacker
Of the %; he is now asking your
votes to save his water stock.
Don't forget it.
The election is on the 30th inst,
only taxpayers vote.
