tonight" said Mr.. Adcock, "brings TO
my mind q meeting held in Galesburg.
in 1883, when the people of that town
decided that better water system was
needed. The situation is al
moet similar. The town WAS in the
power of water monopoly, which
had the city at it's mercy. The result Of
that meeting was the selection OF Judge
Willoughby and Mr.. Ryan. now your
candidate for mayor, to wrest the city
from the power OF the water company.
1t was a stubborn fight, hut Mr.. Ryan
and his associate were victorious, and
those attorneys endeared themselves in
the hearts of all.
THE people of Los Angeles now have
an opportunity to get relief from the
exactions of the Los Angeles Water
company, and Mr.. Ryan, if you elect
him mayor, will show the way"

park and other improvements on the

eured their realization.

views regarding municipal government.
which requires q government for the
whole people and not favored few,
and said that if he is elected may
or he will inaugurate a system
OF government that will look to
decrease in taxation and lessening of
the expense; but in creating these re-
forms not cent should be deducted
from the wage-worker, nor the salaries

important matters that needed reform.

schools were elaborated upon by the
speaker, who said that he would do oil
in his power to better the condition OF

cially by the efforts of Mr.. Ryan,
Speaking of the reports or slanders

pose OF having his name removed from

diately after nomination by the ward
convention, announced his withdrawal,
but through error his peme was not re.
moved from the ticket. Mr.. Simonton

ANOTHER WITHDRAWAL.
W. T. Lambie, Democratic nominee
for councilman in the First ward, at
tempted to file a petition of withdrawal
with City Clerk Luckenbach yesterday.

grounds upon which he refused to re-
move the name OF Anthony Schwamm
from the city ticket, and over which a
mandamus was asked to compel its re-
moval. The limit for withdrawal of
candidaGe's name had expired, and OF

mayor, with A. w. Ryan of the water
company. The candidate has no corpo-
ration strings on him.
