The movement toward a reform
ticket with candidates pledged to the
platform Of NO GRAFT, NO SPOILS,
NO SALARY, is gaining strength
each day. A call will be issued in a
few days for a meeting of business
men to take up the campaign.
The Taxpayers league will also be
asked to join in the glorious work of
driving the taxeaters away from the
public cribs and putting business men
at the helf who will serve their city
without emolument until the great
work of reform has been carried out
and the municipality Is rescued from
the grasp of the grafters and the in
competents.
