after determined upon; also sewers, street
grading and other improvements. Interest
in the election is intense, and politics cut
no figure. Candidates for minor offices are

for experience has taught that all
reforms came up through great
tribulation. Steer clear of all en-
tangling alliances, and if the prin-
ciples of Populism are right stand
by them or If either of the old
parties have been instrumental in
