In our city there has been viola
ton of our laws such as gambling
where, l understand, mere boys are
allowed the privilege Of playing for
money; also the illegal selling Of in
tOxicating liquors contrary to law,
houses of i'll fame and parties living
together without the authority of the
law All such are an abOmination to
our city. l have heard it reported
that persons outside the city have
called attention to the fact that they
do not wish to send their children to
our schools on account OF the bad
morals of our city. This is a bad
state Of affairs, and as far as it is my
power it must be remedied and the
fair name of our city kept above re-.
prOach and all lawlessness be done
away with.
l shall need the assistance OF the
council In all lines of government and
hope that we may at all times work
together in harmony, not for the good
only OF one party but for the best in.
terest, for the upbuilding and the ad-
vancement of our city.
The affairs of the city must be han
died as far as expedient on an econo-
miCal basis. l shall be willing to
assist the council at all times to the
furthering CT all economical legisla-
tiOn where it will not conflict with
public safety.
In conclusion l will say that wan,
to work with every member of the
council for the best interest of oul
city. While we may disagree on some
lines yet lmean to be liberal 10 my
views, and shall not arbitrarily dele
gate to myself all power 10 the cit!
government, but will always be read!
to receive consultation on any dis
agreement that may come up.
Let Us all put our shoulder to th,
wheel and push, and have no on,
hold back from doing his share, and
think the city will be the gamer b
80 doing. S. N. BROWN,
