I hereby announce my candidacy for
Mayor of the City of Americas subject tC

Municipal ownership of certain utilities
which has, within the past few years proven
to be not only desirable, but an actual ne
cessity in many cities of the United states
presents itself to the people of Amercus in
an unusually interesting and vitality impor-
tant phase at this time.
Our gas and electric light rates, when com.
pared to those prevailing in cities which own
these franchises, demonstrate concIusfveIy
that the best service and the cheapest rates
are secured by such ownership.
l therefore, believe that the city of Ameri-
Gus should own It's gas and electric light
plants, just as 1t now owns its waterWorks
system, and having reason to believe tn at the
people of the city are now prepared for the
inauguration of this system, l have deter

the people of Americas.

mains and sanitary sewerage system to
those parts of the city where essential 20

favor franchise to electric railway COM

municipal control, as will afford best service
to the people, and as will, at the same, time
conserve the City's interest.
l also favor projection to our local
merchants iq the enjoyment OF their annual
licenses.
Finally, l shall favor all measures and
enterprises tending to the growth and ex-

DEPEND oNTHE MAKERS NAME

New York has two firms
worldwide reputation who deal in
fancy groceries. Each firm con-
ducts several. very large stores
located in different parts of the
city. A good part of the stock of
each store consists of canned vege-
tables, preserved fruits and Der
ries, pickles, sauces and innumer-
able kindred edibles. mall cases,
as guarantee of superiority these
preparations bear the name of the
party who put them up and sold
them to the firm, frequently that
of some woman living in Maryland
or Virginia, who, under the neces-
sity of supporting herself and, per-
haps, also, family depending on
her, aVailed herself of her knowl-
edge of good housekeeping by put
ting it to commercial use in the
preparation and preservation of
these things so necessary to the
supply of a good table. 1t is a
matter of history that the many
good things to eat which the in
habitants of those States enjoyed
prior to the Civil War were due to
the exercise of the superior intelli.
gence of their women in the pro-
per preparation of these things,
and also in the proper training OF
cooks. The people of New York
have money and are quick to ap.
preciate and much inclined to in.
dulge themselves in things good tt
eat. AS a consequence the de
mand for these palatable articles
increased. After once using and
testing their excellence, the pur
chaser insisted on getting the same
article, by the same maker, anC
thus what at first was doubtful
individual experiment soon de
veloped into a business.
