Whereas, Neither of the political

ticket which the progressive law

and,
Whereas, A strong sentiment ex-
lists for an independent ticket, COM
posed of able, conscientious and fear
less men,
Therefore, be it resolved, That we,
the voters of the city OF Paducab,
regardless of party utilization. do here
by call upon all independent, liberty
loving, progressive citizens, that we
declare our platform of principles
briefly to be as follows
First. The selection for the city
offices of able, honest and faithful
men, selected by reason Of qualifcl-
tion regardless of party utilization.
Second. We stand for the develop
ment Of and growth of the city physi-
cally, financially, morally and in
tellectually; thereby making it de-
sirable home for any and all seeking
such advan tages.
Third. We stand for the economi-
cal expenditure of the public money,
and, therefore, for the lowest rate OF
taxation consistent with wisdom and
the legitimate demands of growing
and prosperous city.
Fourth. We stand for the fearless
and faithful enforcement Of law and
order, and for the full protection,
under the law, of every citizen in his
private and business pursuits.
Fifth. We condemn the present ad-
ministration for its reckless and ex-
travagant expenditure of the public
money; for the very inferior and
worthless character of the public i'm
movements foisted upon the people at
an exhorbitant cost. for the general
unsanitary condition of the city, and
for its weak and vaoillating dealings
with the lawless and vicious element
of the city.
