Why all Republicans, and every
Taxpayer and Good Citizen
Should Vote for Frank
Edwards and the Re
publican Ticket

The present campaign IS a ser
ious affair. 1t is question OF
placing Helena in the column OF
progress.
On the ! Of January 1910, the
franchise OF the present Water
Company will expire. The peo-
pie of Helena, those Of them who
are not tools of the Water Co
mpanv, demand that the city
own. operate and control its own
plant. Frank J. Edwards is the
champion Of this demand.
1t will take a year or two to
build a new water plant. This
means that if Helena proposes to
run its own plant that work will
have to commence in the very
near futnre. 1t will take a large
army Of workingmen to const.
ruct such a plant as the needs OF
the city demand. The question
of labor is a very important
consideration to every colored
voter in Helena.
The great majority OF the col
ored men in this city are sober
industrious and respectable cltl-
zens. They need as much pros
pcrity as their white brothern.
The Democratic candidates say
in their platform that they favor
municipal ownership, but declare
that they will not interfere with
cornoration rule. If the Demo
crats decide to buy the old plant
and pay the water company as
mich for il as they would Tor a

OUR STAND

A good friend OF ours on hear
sno that we were supporting f..

|Have you forgot that lemon that
|Nas handed you some time ago
Ind that we were easy to Tor
Eive." TO which we reply that
Bur interest in the community,
It's growth, its success and the
success of the race with which our
bestinv is linked forever, is far
greater than any personal grieV-
bnce or wrong which has been
Wrought against us as an individ-
bal.
We believe that the interest
and welfare OF Helena and its
citizens will be best observed by
| he election of +. J. Edwards, and
believing such, we feel that it IS
BUR duty to lend our support to
bis election, regardless OF any
zeal or supposed personal griev-
Ances. Those wrongs, if there
were any will no doubt in time
be frightened.
Mr.. Edwards stands for law
and order, and all the other ele-
ments that go to make up good
citizenship, his past record os the
rhief executive of our city dem
pnstrates his eminent ability to
Safely care for the interest OF a
better and greater Helena, and
all will do themselves proud by
tallying to the support of the Hon
y J. Edwards for a Better and
