Through the success of th. fusion
that Trinidad can he rescued from
the grip Of tho d.spoiicTs who have
exploited the people fer their own
Iaggrand isrmcut. The substantial
business men aud taxpayers who
are candidates on tho fusion ticket
are men in whom the people have
! nfIdrnce and are pledged 70 pro-
mote efficiency as well a. ecvnomS
in city affairs.
Tho activity OF city employee and
gang hcnchmcn in bchalf OF the
Petitions ticket became 10 notice
able that u public protest resulted
and this led to tho adoption OF u
resolution In the city council Non
day night. prohibiting city employ
ccs from doing campaign work.
Well knowing that tho so-ca!lcd
l"Citizcns' candidates are pledged
To maintain the city hall patriots In
office, the employees had been me-
glecting their official duties to work
for the ticket. Tho mayor knowing
of this activity opposed the re.olu-
ton. The result was thnt the coun-
Gil was forced TO take cosnizance of
this political activity OH the part OF
the city employees and in the reso-
lutiou the chairman of the police
committce was instructed TO demand
the resignation of all who persisted
in this pernicious activity. II. as
the kept paper asserts. that the gang
IS not interested in the Citizens
ticket, this resolution would not
have been necessary,
Every day men and women who
have hitherto never engaged them
selves actively in n city campaign
lare volunteering their services to
work for the success of the fusion
ticket. This is at least Indicative Of
the sentiment of the people of Trini-
ldad who have long been forced to
submit to the power Of the city hall
machine. They realize that the
time has come to end tho domina-
tion OF the machine politicians and
they are standing together to accom-
plish at this election the overthrow
of the gang.
