Local ef-Governnqent.
Having full faith in the ability
of the people of this Territory to
govern themselves, we denounce the
Republican Party for its duplicity
and breach of faith with the voters
of this Territory in the miscarriage
of that partys measure for County
government, passed by the last Leg
islature, and pledge our earnest eff
fort to secure the passage and en-
actlnent of a County law providing
for complete local self-government.
Loan Fund Expenditures.
We deplore the present distress
ed financial condition of the Terri
tory, brought about by the Repub-
lican element in part, by withhold
ing from circulation large sums Of
loan fund" moneys that might

course whereby the taxpayers are
being daily mulcted in the amount
of interest paid Oh reproductive
loans on the one hand and the loss
incidental to diScotlnting warrants
on the other.
Productive Works only.
In this connection we favor the
policy of making loan appropria-

within these restrictions, atlyocate a
comprehensive system of public
works throughout the Territory. =

Mr. Hawkins IS only one out Of many

This new remedy IS a scientific prepare
