we'll known influential citizens, who
is a candidate for councilman. Below
we publish his platform in full.
First believe to create the ut
most confidence of the public in it's Of
ficials that there should be the great
est publicity possible in all Of the ac-
tions of the officials in all depart
ments, especially that Of the council
in it's expenditure of public moneys.
Second-I favor" the municipal own
ership of the water works, provided
Hhe management can be absolutely
divorced from politics.
Third believe that for best in
tive and referendum. Let the people
terest of all concerned that the street
car franchise question should be set
tied as soon as possible.
FOURTH am in favor of building
of public. comfort stations located at
suitable places for the convenience Of
the people, same to be open day and
night.
Fifth think that the early COM
pletion of the Seventh street bridge
and the routing of cars over the via
duct and the elimination of the dam
ger on First street would be appreci-
ated by residents of the South Side.
Sixth-1 am in favor Of the initia-
!, tory and referendum; let the people
saw by their vote what they want.
Seventh am heartily in favor OF
the recall of any public official who
proves recreant to the trust placed In
his hands by the people.
Eighth am in favor OF the rlgld
inspection of all buildings erected to
insure the safety of the workmen and
occupants.
NINTH favor the rigid inspection
by competent inspectors Of all public
improvements, requiring all concerns
to fulfill the contracts for the same
to the letter.
am heartily in favor Of the en-
ployment Of the mechanics and labor
ers who live in Des Moines in prefer
ence to those imported from otner
places. believe in patronizing home

For Commissioners

For Commissioner
Below we present to our voters the
platform upon which Mr.. Bannay
Berlovich has announced his name as
q candidate for councilman:
No. l.
If elected to the city council, I
shall endeavor to eliminate strife
and "fussing" between the commits
sioners as much as it shall be within
my power to do so.
No. 2.
l shall oppose the city's embark
ing into the Junk" business because
municipal ownership is one thing and
the city buying dilapidated "junk
pile" is another. If Des Moines is
to become a city Of 100000 in the
very near future, as l believe it will,
it ,should by all means have new
and up-to-date water works system.
and if it can not have it now, it
should wait awhile until it can.
No. 3.
I favor using the west OF the mar
ket for comfort station and rest
rooms for the greater encouragement
and inducement Of bringing THE
farmers and THE gardeners to mar
ket and the elimination of "huckster
traffic" around it. ..g.. .p-..
s., ,s.-..a ~ No. 4. .;..t'a .Iss,
If elected II furtherNore promise
and swear" that / will use my own
automobile, including gasoline and
repairs, not only for my own joy rides
but for city business as we'll.
No. 5.
1 believe that Des Moines is bet
ter and greater corporation than any
one other corporation that operates
in Iowa and I see no reason why it
should not be operated as such.
