since offered to the Chinese every in
ducement to remain with them.
The Chinese prefer their old quar-
ters in our city and wish to live there,
pleasant by the enforcement of unrea-
sonable regulations that they have re-
mained away and would not return un-
der the past regime.
The Chinese have pleasures and pas
times peculiar to themselves, which are
enjoyed exclusively by themselves, and
they prefer to be alone and to be let
alone. The Chinese have just as much
right to enjoy their exclusive pleasures
in their different clubs as have our
white citizens in their clubs
Therefore l propose to offer every in
ducement to bring back to our city
those former residents who have left
us because of more liberal treatment in
extend to them the most liberal treat
ment within the law and to permit them
rs much freedom as others enjoy with
out discrimination, and to- hold them
free from moleStation and haraSSment
so long as they live within the law and
do not commit breaches of the peace.
l believe in freedom of action within
the law, that the poor man is just as
much entitled to his legitimate pleas
ureS and pastimeS within the law as is
the rich man, and to that end 1 shall
use my endeaVOrS, with your cO-Opera-
tfon, to see to it that all legitimate en-
terprises shall be conducted without
interference or harassment, but l shall
not tolerate nor permit any department
unded my control or supervision to toll

the odium resulting from the present
immoral atmosphere surrounding the
outgoing administration to be visited

POLICE DEPARTMENT

This important department must De

fciency. The reputation OF our city Is
more dependent upon the proper admin
istration of this department than any
other. Visitors and tourists who SO
Journ with us must receive saIe con
duct and be secure in the protectlon OF
their lives and property. The cnap-
ter Of crime which has been evident
in this city for some time past must
be stopped. Holdups and thuggerN
must be reduced to a minimum In com
parison to the population or our CITY
with that OF other cities Undesir-
able characters who have sought an
asylum in our city as a fertile Held
for their nefariOus callingS must be IN
carcerated or driven from the city, so
that our citizens may go from place TO

feeling Of safety.
The ordinances relating to public as

ing fagrantly violated In some OF

our municipal department a complete

MONEY ILLEGALLY
DRAWN AND PAID

l desire to call the attention, gentle
men of the board of supervisors, to GER
tain infractions of the law which have
been practiced by preceding admins
trations. To you the people look for
an economical and just administration
of affairs upon strictly legitimate bust
ness lines. Our organic law contains
provisions governing the handling
of public funds. These provisions
in certain cases were absolutely
ignored and large sums of money
have been illegally drawn from and
paid by our treasury, political OBJ
legations have been satisfied by the il
legal creation of positions and the il
legal disbursement of public funds in
salaries and other expenditures. In
the near future / shall submit to your
honorable body a detailed list of the
before mentioned illegal payments with
the recommendation that steps be taken
which will secure the restitution to the
treasury of such illegally drawn funds.
AUTOMOBILES
1t is true that in some matters, be-
cause of the uniformity with which
laws are made and administered, 1t is
impossible to conduct public affairs as
economically as a private business can
be managed. 1t is also true that in the
conduct of governmental affairs there
is a lack of economy and care exercised
which would obtain ina well and pru-
IDENTIFY managed private business.
Many extravagances are indulged in
by officials who, in private life, would
refrain from such expenditures, merely
because it is the disbursement of pub
lie money contributed by the great
body of tax payers who are obliged
to pay the bills without the power to
stop the expenditure.
The extravagant use of automobiles
by certain departments is a wanton
waste of public money, costing, as it
has in the past, many thousands of
dollars annually.
If this money was devoted to the i'm
provement of our streets in many
places the wagons of merchants and
the automobiles of our .wealthier citi-
zens would fare better and endure
longer.
I am not unmindful of the fact. that
the police, fire and health departments
are in need of rapid transportation, and
therefore l do not refer to these par
ticular departments further than to
recommend that the equipment for
these departments be at all times kept
at the highest standard of excellence.
II is an undisputed fact that our sys-
tenn of municipal accounting is not only
obsolete. but absolutely Impractical and

equitable treatment to all concerned
and the reasonable adjustment of all

labor for political reasons, peace must
and shall obtain.
Should the occasion arise when any
threatened disturbance shall menace

life, the cause shall be Immediately

ministration shall be brought to bear
to stop such action and to discover to

LINCOLN, Jan. 2~9.-(Special Met
calfe will not be a candidate for the dem
ocratic nomination for United States sem
ator because the organs will not let him
run"
This was the statement of a prominent
democrat in Lincoln this morning, who
has the idea that he knows who the
Bryans want for their candidate. And by
the organs he meant in addition to w. j.
and c. w. Bryan and Tom Allen, others
who are direct lieutenants of the presiden-
tial candidate.
Mark what 1 say the man continued.
when the proper time comes Metcalfe
will give out a statement that he is not
a candidate and that statement will be
given because Mr.. Bryan will not stand for
him. Tom Allen Is doing all he can to
create a boom for w. H. Thompson for
senator and he would not DO doing that
unless he were acting under the direction
of the big chief himself or at least he
knows that Bryan wants Thompson for the
candidate

friends say, has always drawn the water
and carried the wood for the others and
these leaders are expecting him to continue
this work even IL they have to appeal to
Mr.. Bryan to issue the orders.
Lee Herdman. who was here the other
day, while expressing great personal friend
ship for Metcalfe did not consider him as
a serious candidate for the senate.
c. w. Bryan, who is recognized as not
only the spokesman, but the manager of
Mr.. Bryan and his closest adviser and upon
whose Judgment the presidential candi-
date relies probably more than upon any
other national or state leader of democracy,
would not discuss candidates when the
question of his support of w. II. Thompson
or G.. M. Hitchcock was put to him. He
expressed the idea that he had mo- pref
erence for any one candidate, but that
when the platform was finally agreed
upon it would be easy to select the can
didate. The candidate, he said, should not
be selected until the member of the party
knew what the platform would be. At this
time he had no idea, he said, what would
be in the platform.
