desiring good government we publish the fore
going as the platform which every nominee on
our ticket VIII be pledged 10 support
GILES ii. GRAY, President,
GARY HOWARD, Secretary,
or Citizens Municipal League OF Oakland.
With this platform as an Independent
declaration of principles the Non-Partisans
could not fail in their efforts to rescue the
CITY of Oakland.
That the people recognized this they amply
signified by attending every one of tile
meetings of the league en- masse.
The great interest the Southern Pacific
Company takes in Mondays election also
nelps much TO open the eyes OF the voters,
Tor every railroad tool is working against
the Non-Partisan ticket.
c. 7. Huntington and his men have no
use for clean City Council in a city where
they had 1t all their own way for years be-
cause they controlled the solid rings.
Moffitt and Dargie, who control two of
Oakland's newspapers and who are notori-
Gus on account of the way they have man
aged TO support every jobberY of the old
City Councils. are opposed to the Nom
Partisan ticket.
This also is of great assistance to the
leagues good cause, for when such men
oppose. the citizens who have the welfare
Of their community at heart will be on the
right side.
Tonight there will be grand final mass
meeting held by the Citizens Municipal
League party (Nou- Partsan) at the
Coliseum on Twelfth street.
Nearly all the candidates will he present
and will address the meeting oD the leading
issues of the campaign.
They will tell the good people Of the city
OF churches that they should vote the
Citizens Municipal League party's ticket,
because 1t is Non-Partsan and every one
OF It's candidates is pledged to work for the
good of the municipality only and not to
further private schemes as the majority of
the city officers of the past have done.
