PEOPLES PLATFORM
Principles Which Good rlen are
Pledged to Carry Out

The citizens of the town of Florence
assembled March lTth, 1898, in open
mass meeting, for the purpose OF nomi-
mating ticket for the town election to
be held in Florence, April 9TH, 1898, de-
clare and resolve:
First That. town government is a
matter of business, rather than of poll
ties; that its affairs should be admins
tered upon fair and just business princi-
pies, and not at all for the reward OF
5poilsmen and secret caucus manipula-
tors; that strict economy, not incon-
sistent with maintaining order and a
liberal public policy, should be observed,
and that municipal authority should at
all times be exercised with due regard to
the rights and interests OF every inhabit-
ant and locality of the town.
Second That none but honest and
capable men should be selected for of
flee.
Third That as Florence has great
natural resources and advantages, with
fair promise, under wise management, to
become an important commercial, manu-
featuring and residence place, it should
be prominent policy of the town, in all.
legitimate ways, consistent with proper
economy, to promote in every way pos
sible its improvement, cleanliness and
growth, SO that its greatest possibilities
may be realized.
Fourth That plentiful supply of
wholesome water for all the needs of the
town, both present and prospective, and
mountain water if it can be had in sufi-
cient quantity and at reasonable cost
should be obtained with the least possi-
BILE delay.
Fifth That the town should own and
operate its own water works.
Sixth-That our ticket be called The
Peoples ticket.
Seventh That the town council
should cause to be published in local
paper during the first week of every
month, statement of the money re-
ceived and expended by the town during
the preceding month.

then Parry decided he must ''join the
