We believe in the principle that eS-
cry man. be he mgl or low. rich OF

sole and only object IN view Of repay

we believe IN the principle that the

I'VE commend the attitude of the
present city administrator towafd the
laboring man. We recognize that pros
perlty cannot be genuine unless II
reaches to the great majority Of our
citizens who earn their bread By the
sweat Of their brows.
The conduct OF the county affairs
has been lisgraceful under the pres
ent administration The cogIa4son-
ers have failed 60 protect countF.prop-
erty; have neglected the proper Care Of
important roads and bridges, and have
been guilty OF charging and collecting
illegal fees Crime has been encouTag-
ed and protected. The funds OF the
county have been wastefully FILTERED
away without just return. We feel
that this condition should not continue.
The American party pledges its
nominees. II elected 10 the full, fair
Of the state. without fear or favor. AMI
that no religious pretense shall pro-
iect the criminal from the Just conse-
quences Of his unlawful acts.
