without even an excuse for trial.

The Pierce County Herald re-
ports that the improvement League
of Ellsworth is having hard time
selling tickets TO meet the guaran-
tee for their chautauqua, to be held
there from the 18th to the 10th of
this month. Poor roads is probab-
ly the great drawback there. The
farmers of that community may
not wish to take chance on a sea-
son ticket, and then have a rainy
period come along and prevent
them from taking in the program
The harvest season will also keep
the rural attendance down.

8 STATEMENT.

q "
To the Citizens H Great Bend
l reluctantly consented to become
candidate for mayor, and did SO on.
ly at the urgent request Of nearly
every member of the firs departmnt,
a body Of men whose services to the
city. have always appreciated and
in whom I have alwags taken a
deep interest, and upon the petition
Of a large number Of iaboring and
business men and citizens generally.
So many people have come to me
asking for information upon certain
questions, especially with regard to
the water and light question and the
question Of appointments and there
has been so much talk ON the streets
to the effect that cerain interests and
individuals are supporting me for self
ish purposes and in order that they
may be in q position TO secure spec
ial privileges, that ] feel il is my
duty both to myself and the voters tc
make a brief statement so that ev.
cry voter may know the exact facts.
know Of no such support, but If it
exists, this statement is made for the
purpose of advising the voters that
If am elected l will 60 into the Of
flee entirely free to do my whole
duty.
Neither the mayor nor the entire
commission can grant, change or re
new amy light or water franchise un
less such be done by the vote o.
the people.
l Neither the mayor nor the entire
commission can purchase a hight Ol
water plant or any other public util
1
ity without a vote of the people.
The light and water company had
nothing to do with my candidacy moi
has any person interested in tht
company mentioned their interests t
me.
i With regard to appointments l have
made no promises of official appoint
ments and will not do so. AS a mat
ter of fact, under the commission
form Of government, as l understand
1t, the mayor has no appointments tC
make, but all appointments are made
by the commission. So far as my
vote goes it would be exercised with
the idea Of securing the best men fol
the places to be filled and to the end
that the city might receive the most
efficient service. l am strongly il
favor Of so conducting the city's bus
mess and handling its public service
utilities that the greatest good may
result to the whole community.
Strict economy in the conduct Of
the affairs of the city is an absolute
obligation. Extravagance and penuri-
OuSness are equally detrimental to a
city, A city should be alive, alert
and progressive in the interests ol
its people. Partisan politics has nc
place in the management of the at.
fairs of a city.
If elected | shall ON all questions
stand for the best interests Of the
entire community. My ambition will
be to cooperate with the other com.
misSiOners in giving the city a clean,
wholesome business administration
and i'm making the city in every way
a good place to live.
Respectfully,
