IT is a square stand up and knock
down fight between the old mis-
managers and radical change.
1T promised to be q great victory fol
responsible city government. but II
threatens stampede.
THE Paschal people have asked NO
more than their rights under the char
ter. They will take no less.
UNDER the shadow of the Old AL.
amo Is not the place to conspire
against the liberties OF the people.
THERE are two more days to pre-
pare tor the trial of anarchy and au-
tocracy at the bar of the ballot.
SHARDEIN's "open letter" is tight

THE people will not be afraid of an
administration that is not afraid of
the people.
THE star chamber proceedings for
the nomination of election judges and
clerks are discounted.
THE independent candidates have

In direct violation of the ordinances
and the charter.
No more barefaced attempt to ride
roughshod over q people than this
attempt to deny them representation
on the election board has been made
in this city this decade. The people
will brand it on Monday and burn

judges and squanders hundreds every
day for the employment of city labor.
