For two years now our street lights

has been fairly well maintained, the
incandescent lighting system has. too,
been very bad. In some parts Of the

At the plant things have been going

YELN, Wash, lug. Q, 1908.
Ed STANDARD:
In order that the people may know
what our peerless leader, W. J..

lowing:
lst-He is opposed to the protec-
tive tariff, believing it to be a mon
strOSity.
2d-IIe believes capital is entitled
to justice and fair treatment, and
recognizes the rights of labor.
3d-tie believes neither capital nor
labor is entitled to special favorite-
ism. class legislation is abhorrent;
All should be equal before the law. "
4th-He believes that the first
duty of the United States is to look
to its own interests rather than to
endeavOr TO govern the world
5th-He condemns ship subsidies
for the same reason he condemns the
tariff Both are ministrations to
the greed of special interests.
6th-He believes the Federal Gov
eminent is one of delegated powers.
and is uncompromiSing in his oppo u
ton to the New Federalism which
seeks to transcend the limitations of
the Constitution.
7th-A private monopoly is hate
full to him.
Sth-He is in favor of a dual sys
TEN of government and opposed to
Capitalization.
9th-He is in favor of the immed-
late revision of the tariff.
10th-He favors the expenditure of
