The above are the candidates on
the Peoples Progressive Improve
ment ticket. The issues Of the cam
paign as those candidates see it, and
upon which they are waging the con-
test, Is progressiveness as used in
Its broadest and most liberal sense
broad enough so that 1t will cover
every need of the city-everything
that will contribute to its welfare and
general Advancement and prosperity
by creating public employment for
labor. The candidates on that ticket
believe in the construction OF side
walks-believe in constructing them
in systematic and business-like way

been the case under the last admin
istration. They believe in the grad
ing of the streets-not in grading the
same street three or four times. but
in securing the services Of a compe-
tent engineer-one who is versed in
his PROFESSIONALISM knows his work
well enough so that the services of
another engineer to do the work over
will not be necessary. The candi-
dates on that ticket believe in the
ownerhip of public utilities, but they
believe in bringing it about in a bus
iness-like manner, and not going at
1t in a haphazard way; they believe
in supporting the public library
have always believed in it-and have
always worked for, and the women to
whom the existence of that institu-
ton is due today recognize them as
their friends, and are confident that
under their administration it will not
be necessary to go before them time
after time and make appeals for the
support of the library, and then be
turned down. as they have in the
past, but that they will take up the
work of caring and proving for the
library of their own initiative. That
is the Peoples Progressive and I'm
provement ticket-its candidates and
its issues, and that is the ticket that
the machine men-the bosses are
seeking to defeat by placing in the
field a ticket composed of men whom
they can absolutely control.
Bosses Sing the Same Song.
The bosses-the manIpulators back
of the Citizens ticket-are singing
the same song that they sang two
years ago when they were back of the
administration that will pass out of
existence on April 6. There is no
change. The caucuses and conven-
ton and the ticket placed in the field
In that campaign we're Tor the sole
benefit of the people-the candidates
were thelrs-the planks contained in
the platforms theirs, according to the
song sung through that campaign by
the manipulators, and listening to
that song the people elected the tick
ct. and for two years they reaped the
harvest for their own special benefit,
the seeds Of which were sown by the
bosses, and they have not forgotten
that administration. They have not
forgotten that VIM. Dollar was back
of that ticket just as he is now back
of the Citizens tieket-that his same
satellites and henehmen were back
OF 1t. and that taking it all In all IL
was q Dollar tieket-a Dollar admin
IstrEtion, and all the voice that the
people had in II, was the fact that
they were deluded into the idea that
they were voting their sentiments
and their benefits were higher taxes
and general extraVaganee-an empty
treasury, and no public improve
ments, but the same old walks-and
the same old streets. The people have
not forgotten these things and this
time the machine manipulators are
going to find the task Of deIudins
