The officers 1 will appoint will be men appointed for their capabli- ties to serve the city. l will see that the ordinances are enforced on all alike, and I will have no favorites to give special privileges to, neither Mill have any enemies to punish

Jones and the democratic nominees of this ticket were put up for election
