ISAAC MooREY

If the voters of the 11th district consult their best interests they, will return to the common council their best interests, they will return to the common council Isaac Moorey, their alderman from that section. Alder man Moorey's record in the council speaks for itself. His efforts for the establishment of a municipal fee plant are of such recent date that every one is familiar with his record in that respect. Alderman Moorey is a business man, conducting a grocery store at East Main and Ann streets. He is a believer. in a business a. dn1in- istration. Alderman Moorey is op-s posed to the Repu bIican policy of an enormous bonded indebtedness for the city, and he has consistently support ed all the measures advocated by the Democratic majority in the council. Alderman Moorey lives at 124 Hough avenue. His aid is needed in the council to comp1et the work begun for. the people, and his return to the office would be a, just tribute to him for the service he has rendered.
