VOTE RIGHT TOMORROW.

The special election on the bond issue
for a. filtration plant and for munich
pal lighting plant is to be held tomor-
row.
Vote for the improved water supply.
Help improve sanitary conditions.
Make, It possible to have clear water
in the city mains instead of the coffee
colored ooze-reeking with filth and
odor-that is now being served to the
people. Give the city a decent supply
of one Of it's greatest essentials. Let
1T be possible for Fargo to have a water
supply that will not disgust and drive
away irrespective investors and seekers
for homes.
The necessity is imperative The
bond issue for the purpose is $65,000
1t will be money well spent. A better
water supply will mean that Fargo
will be given a chance to advance.
The municipal lighting problem is
another proposition. Fargo has no more
need of such an institution than a
wagon for seven wheels. With splen-
did electric light service at rates lower
than that of surrounding cities-it
would be a mistake for the city to en-
ter into competition with a private
company.
No lower rates could be given-un-
less the plant was operated at cost to
1.-THE taxpayers-and the public-not the
Light consumers would then have to
sfoot the bill. The hundreds of people
of Fargo who have no electric lights
would be taxed to help pay for the
bother fellows illumination. Do you
want to do that?
Reasonable rates have been offered
for street lights-cheaper than the city
could afford to do it.
Vote for the improved water supply
and for the filtration plant. Get in a
Estrong vote against the proposition to
saddle a needless electric lighting plant
ionto the taxpayers.

support, believing that it is to the best
interests of the country at large to
keep the republican party in power.
1t has been through the efforts Of the
republican party that the great strides
in industrial and commercial relations
have been attained, and we believe that
it is the policies of the party, rather
than the men who have been it's lead
ers, that should have the credit. Ger
tain leaders are unable to secure the
confidence Of all the people; some of
the leaders are undoubtedly too con-
.servative, while others are too pro-
gressive; it takes both elements to
form the party which can and will ac-
complish the best interests of the
whole, as one counterbalances the other
and many men in council will arrive
at conclusions and define policies that
will work for the good of the nation
far better than If one mind had the
control of all interests.
