extension of it's influence.
that circumstances have forced the
present Board of Trustees into posi-
ton of opposition to the crying need
of the school system of the city for
larger and better appointed school
buildings, especially for the purposes
of a High School and Night School;
and we pledge ourselves and our can
didates to use every proper means to
bring about the speedy erection of a
building or buildings commensurate to
the needs of these departments.
We pledge our nominees to a carefui
and conscientious administration of the
affairs of the city, according to business
principles and along economical lines.
We declare for the improvement and
extension of the sewer system, and the
construction Of more permanent streets
and roadways.
Realizing the great advantage of CO.
education, we believe the same good
results would follow from the establish
ment Of perfect political equality be-
tween the sexes; and stand for the en-
franchisement Of woman as means to
the improvement of the political condi
tions of our State and Nation.
We believe in Government ownership
of railroads.&c. the Klondike; we view
with alarm and 1--WE point with pride"
