restricted purchases by canning inter-

that the new contracts are not ,abund-

Citizens Committee Prepares EIabo-
rate Statement of Its Side of
the Question-History
of Candidates

The political campaigners of Pasade-
ma are resting on their arms on the
eve of what promises to be one of the
closest political fights in the history
of the city.
The citizens committee of the citi-
zens party has issued a lengthy state
ment, summarizing their claims and
giving history of their candidates in
Pasadena politics. The following is the
manifesto which is expected to carry
CONSERVATION into the enemy's camp:
THE contest is purely partisan;
the leading candidates on both sides
(for mayor are both conscientious, up
right men of exemplary personal hab-
its and unquestioned integrity Each
has associated with him candidates for
each of the other offices (three coun-
cilmen), whom he believes to be in full
accord with him upon public questions.
Therefore the only contest is upon
their politics, their views on city af-
fairs and their personal fitness for the
responsible offices to which their as
pire.
Is an Active Business Man
"Mr, Farley has been an active busi-
ness man of Pasadena for about sew
enteen years. He was one of the fif-
teen freeholder3 who formulated the
present city charter. He has been for
many years a prominent and active
worker in the board of trade and iden-
tilted with every progressive movement
i'm the city. His rare good judgment
and business ability, his unwavering
fidelity to lofty principles. his knowl-
edge OF men and affairs and his frank
ness, courtesy and tact, as we'll as his
progressive ideas and public spirited
interest in the welfare of the city have
been universally recognized for years.
He has several times heretofore refused
to be candidate for mayor and only
consented this time from a sense of
duty and then only on condition that
there should be no paid canVassers
electioneering for him; that his friends
must do that voluntarily if at all; and
that whatever campaign funds might
be raised among his friends and sup
porters to pay for hall rent, printing
etc, during the campaign should not
be contributed to by any corporation
nor by himself as a candidate.
with Mr. Farley We're nominated
also Henry c. Hotaling for councilman
at large, Thomas II. Webster for coun-
Gilman from the First ward and George
A. Winter for councilman from the
Fifth ward, all well known i'm Pasa-
dena for many years as tried and true
and reliable men of business ability
integrity and good judgment.
"A mass meeting OF two hundred or
more citizens enthusiastically ratified
these nominations and adopted the
Citizens party platform. which was
accepted and approved by each of the
candidates.
THAT platform has been often pub

in the form of a promise of support

Senator Bell complimented the news

ticularly several in Los Angeles for the
part they had taken in disclosing the
state of affairs at Sacramento and in

"Many public meetings have been
held by the Citizens party and these
issues have been publicly and frankly

is turned toward municipal water the
animal under him is headed the other

"Because of it's failure to accomplish
municipal water on any plan or even
to make progress i'm that direction;
because of its poor business Judgment
as shown in estimating the cost of the

of it's serious civic mistakes. both in

has won the distrust of so many of our

not in a position to accomplish the
