A political machine is combi-
nation of politicians banded to-
gether for their own personal IN
terests. 1t is established and OPP
Grated for Individual advance
ment and not for party welfare
nor the public good. 1t derives
its power through schemes, COM
binations and midnight plots that
deceive the great bulk OF people
until it's hideous and Ubiquitous
power approaches despotism. In
America, in our own free cOun-
try, in county, State and nation,
such machines nave rarely lived
to reach the age to seriously en-
danger the liberty and progress
of the people. In every county,
in every State, in both of the
great political parties, there are
a sufficient number of patriotic
men to strike the death dealing
blow at the proper time. This
can only.Lbe done by the ballot,
either in party counsel or in open
political battle. No one can de-
fend a political machine because
we all believe in an equal show
ing. No one can endorse such a
combination because it rides over
the popular demand of a political
party, endanging it's welfare and
gripping its power for public
good. The machine is not want
ed by the great bulk of either of
the political parties, but it forms
without their knowledge or con-
sent. steals it's way into their
support and passes out of exist
ence as soon as the great body OF
voters feel it's sitting effects.
There is no public mission for a
political machine to fill, no place
in eithera political party for It's
selfish purposes and no reason
why the American people should
endanger their liberties by furth-
er endorsing the the most power
full Federal machine that has
ever played politics on the Amer
lean continent. Mr.. Roosevelt
has ruled with an iron hand. He
has absolute control Of his party,
the guardian of its candidate and
the mouth piece of the campaign.
Mr.. Taft, though a candidate for
President, journeyed hundreds
of miles to submit his first speech
to Mr.. Roosevelt for correction
and approval. In the history Of
this government such humble
contrite submission, such child
like faith has ne ever before beer
placed in the head Of a politica
machine. 1t is the most remark
able act Of subservency known.

DECLARATION OF CANDIDATE.
Captain connor Announces His Platform
for City Mayor.

To THE VOTERS OF VIROoUA: here
by announce to the citizens that am a
candidate for mayor at the city election
to be held April z, 1903, and respect
lively solicit the votes of all electors.
In making this announcement | have
no words of criticism for or fault to
find with anyone connected with the
present administration. For nearly
thirty years | have been resident of
this city, and having served as alderman
of the second ward during 1904 and
1905, ] believe | understand the con-
ditiOns and needs of the city. And
deem it proper TO refer at this time to
some of the things accomplished during
my service as alderman-not in any
spirit of vanity nor pretending to claim
all of the credit myself. During my
two years of service the city paid 49,
700 for the library site; built siXty-four
brick and cement crossings; built four
of the best culverts in the city; extend
ed the water west from the court house
at cost of about $500; paid the Barney
Olson judgment and claim; with the
costs, amounting to about 81 500 Ga
legacy left by former administration
redeemed 81, 900 of the city's bonded
indebtedness, and set aside as a sinking
fund to redeem bonds when due, an
other 81, 600. All those things accom-
plished and axes remained unusually
low. While 1 was but small part of
that administration, | feel proud of
the record made.
The only ambition | have left is to
serve the city as mayor for one term,
and, if elected, | assure you there will
be no extravaganza or useless expen-
diture of the peoples money. / have
the time to give the duties Of the of
flee my personal attention and my re-
cord as soldier and civil Official is
guaranty that the public will receive
faithful and efficient service.
If license carries by majority vote,
pledge you that saloons, if licensed,
will be run strictly according to law;
and should ''no-license" prevail the
citizens will have dry town" in
every sense, and the most vigorous en-
fOrcement of the law and city ordi-
nances. The recent amendments to the
liquor laws, has rendered the enforce
ment of the will of the people COM
paratively an easy matter and if am
elected mayor these laws will be en-
forced to the letter, without fear or
favor
Having but one limb, it has not been
possible for me to see and talk with
each voter personally, but your vote
will be sincerely appreciated. In con-
clusion will say that | pledge to the
voters, if elected mayor, good, clean
and economical administration.
Yours respectfully,
CAPT. II. Common.
