that the government of our great citias
present one of the great problems of our
civilization, and that municipal campaiens
should be based upon municipal issues
makes the following declarations as EN-
bodying it's idea of the pressing demand 1of
municipal reform.
First-The laws of the state and the or
dinances of the city should be rigidly and
impartially enforced

fullest extent its autonomy, and it's cleo
tons should be changed from autumn TO
spring.

ly represented, proportional representation
should be adopted.
Fourth-Municipal ownership and OPERA
tion under the civil service of the city of
the railway, telephone gas and electric
plants, is the only just method to all the
people.
Flfth-The employment of the best class
OF men in all the departments of the city's
service should be demanded, and work of
any KIND should be rewarded according to
It's value. irrespective of when 1t is per-
formed and by whom it is done; and that
eight hours should constitute a days labor
Slxth-That the city business be admins
tered in business like and economical
manner. so that the people may not be
| middle men.

Ulcers be reduced to an equality with the
salaries paid for equal services in private

demand a more equitable assessment of the
city property, and that the city assessor be
elected by direct vote.
Tenth-We declare against the proposed
filter system, to cost over million dollars,
and recommended by City Engineer Cap
pelen, and believe that the city can be
amply provided with pure spring water
from series of artesian wells, and believe
that no great Indebtedness for new water
system or any other proposed Improvement
should be saddled upon the city OF Mime
apolls, until the people have had an op-
portunity to vote upon the question.
Eleventh-We deprecate the influence of
the saloon in politics and condemn the at
tempt of the liquor interests to foist men
of their choosing into the city council.
Twelfth-We believe in the principle that
a man should be presumed innocent until
he is proven guilty, and that he should not
be required to incriminate himself and
therefore advise such a revision of the
vagrancy laws will make them CORE
spond with these principles.
To the Capitalization of these principles
and the adoption of these methods into the
customs laws, and the institutions of our
city, we, the delegates of this convention,
pledge ourselves unreservedly, and require
of every candidate who seeks our suffrage
a public statement that he is in full sym
pathy with these declarations and will do
all he possibly for their populariza ton
and their enactment into law.
The resolutions were adopted amid en-
thusiasm. At the conclusion of the read
