Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1905-12-02

OF It's passage, at the first meeting of
its introduction nor at any special
meeting but will always give the cit
liens an opportunity to make known
their objections to the passage of such
an ordinance and if it appears at any
time that majority of the people do
not want a certain ordinance passed it
will not be passed.
We favor letting to the lowest bid
der the furnishing of supplies for the
city such as wood and coal and for
other supplies where any considerable
amount of money is being expended,
in order that all of our citizens NAV
be treated fairly and alike in such
matters.
We condemn the "citizens" council
and mayor.
1-For unequally and unfairly divid-
ing the town into wards purely for
political purposes with the view of de-
feating the will of the people ex-
pressed at the ballot box. Such un-
fairness now being manifest from the
registration books which show that
ward No. has 104 more voters in it
than ward No. 3 and more than ward
No. |, which is clearly contrary to
law and to all principles of justice
and fair dealing.
2-For the failure of the "citizens"
party which is in power, to grade and
pave the streets last summer when the
II gSaeH was suitable for such work
and for putting off that work until an
other season in order that they might
carry the city election on the pretense
THAT if elected again they would cause
the streets to be graded and paved.
3-For extravaganza in Office, in
employing men to go from house to
house and intruding themselves into
the private homes of the citizens of
Pullman on the false pretense of being
water commissioners when in truth
and in fact they We're nothing more
nor less than spies sent into the homes
to find out how many voters there were
therein, at the expense of the city,
and for many other useless and need
! less expenditures of money, such as
for plumbing inspection which could
and should be done by the water com
missioner, a .salaried officer of the
city.
4-For the passage of pretended
reform ordinance, when as a matter of
fact, the police force wifully fails to
break up public gambling in our city
and to bring to justice the man who
contracts the house, all of which is
we'll known to the leaders of the cit
izens'' party.
5-For their unfairness in appoint
ing none but those who are known to
be citizens" ticket people to serve
as judges and inspectors of election in
the various wards, which is an absolute
disregard of the law and of justice and
fair dealing.
6-We condemn the leaders Of the
"citizens" party in charging that the
AntiSaloon party had attempted to
colonize in ward No. when as a mat
ter of fact the "citzens" ticket peo-
pie have imported men from Guy and .
from the immediate vicinity of Pull
man, and are now paying their board
in Pullman for the sole purpose of vot-
ing them in ward No. 2.

zens" ticket was constructed as fol-

For clerk Walter.
