WET Or DRY
IS THE ISSUE
Next Tuesday the Voters Will Decide the
Saloon Question.

The issue for the city election which
occurs next Tuesday has been squarely
drawn. Two tickets are in the field,
the one, the anti-saloon' ticket,
nominated by those who oppose the is
suance of saloon licenses, and the 9th
er, the citizens ticket, nominated
by citizens who favor the granting of
licenses. On other matters of public
policy the nominees of each ticket seem
to think alike. On paving and other
civic improvements each party promises
to do it's best with the means at hand.
Ward caucuses were held in the var
ious wards Monday evening, in ward
No. Frank Campbell being the NOM
inee of the anti-saloon'' ticket,
while j. N. Scott was the "citizens"
nominee. In ward No. 2 Harry Doug
lass is the "anti saloon" candidate and
A. B. Baker the "citizens' candi-
date. In ward No. Prof. Elton Full
mer represents the anti-saloon' and
Prof. G. H. Watt the "citizens" tick
ct.
Tuesday night the general caucuses
were held, the anti-saloonists meet
ing in G. A. R. hall, and the "citi-
zens" in I. 0. 0. F. hall.
At the former, Jno. w. Mathews
was chairman and Hugh Todd secre-
tary, and the ticket as completed was

Allen

AT this convention the following
platform or declaration of principles
was adopted:
The Anti-Saloon party of Pullman,
Washington, in convention assembled
do resolve as follows:
Pullman is college town there
fore, we are not in favor of having
saloons herein and
Whereas the Saloon Party of Pull
man-which is enormously called the
"Citizens Improvement Party
charges that the drugstores of Pull
man sell Intoxicating liquor illegally,
Now Therefore, we are heartily op-
posed to the sale of intoxicants by
druggists except in the manner and
for the purposes fixed by law, and we
pledge our candidates, if elected,
that they will do all in their power
to punish such violaters of the law.
We favor enterprise and progress
in our city and shall use our best
efforts to build up and improve all
parts of the city alike, in order that
there may be no unfairness or dis
elimination practiced.
We favor the grading and paving of
our principal business streets as rap
idly as the means of our citizens who
have property abutting on such streets
will permit in order that we may have
good streets and keep pace with towns
of similar population and wealth.
If we have majority of the coun-
cilmen elected we will promptly re-
peal minor Ordinance No. 101" and
as soon as the law will permit we will
repeal the unfair and unjust law which
was passed by the "citizens council
men and mayor dividing the town
into wards, and will pass another law
warding the town fairly and justly
from the standpoint of the number of
votes and the territory in each ward,
as is by law required, if the people
manifest desire that the city be
warded again. We will not pass any
ordinance on which there may be any
considerable difference of opinion
among the citizens as to the propriety
