supply and our rights as against the
waterworks company.
For long period, we have been
promised satisfactory and prompt ac-
ton but promises have been broken
pledges have been forgotten. We are
still using water of an inferior quality
from an uncertain supply delivered
through faulty system that is ruin
ing our streets, and furnished by an
outside private corporation. We have
grown weary in waiting and justly
feel that we can expect no relief ex
cept from a change of policy through
the election of men who are not in
sympathy with the things of which we
complain and whose nomination has
interested individuals.
We insist upon an abundant supply
of pure water from source other than
the irrigating canals through a sys-
tenn owned by the city and installed
without further delay.
We demand the immediate bringing
and vigorous prosecution of actions to
determine the rights of the city in it's
controversies with the water works
company and particularly in regard to
the damages done to our street pave
ments.
We believe that appointive city Off
GERS should be selected because of
their fitness and ability to do the work
required of them, and that assistance
should be allowed them at the expense
of the city only when demanded by ac-
tual necessity.
We not only believe in fair appor-
tionment of public funds among the
banks, but demand that public money
on deposit draw interest at the highest
rate that can be obtained, and in this
connection we give voice to our OBJ
lection to the attempted control of the
public affairs of our city by any pri-
vate interest.
We favor the extension of our street
lighting system and of the permanent
rovements of our streets as rapid
ly as financial conditions warrant.
The Eighth avenue lateral is and
for long time has been a menace to
life and although demand has been
continuous and insistent that it be
covered in order that lives of children
might be protected, action has been
delayed either for private interests
or through Indifference. We direct
public attention to those who are to
blame for the delay and declare our
opposition to the election to office of
any person who has been in any man
ner responsible for the existing condi- |
lions or who is not pledged to immedi-
ate steps to relieve it.
We rejoice in the passage of the law |
which provides for statewide prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic and pledge |
our active and earnest support to all |
efforts to enforce it to the end that |
crime may be lessened and public |
morals increased
Everett NJ Sweeley, the candidate |
for Mayor, belongs to the younger |
generation of the business and pro-
fessional men of the city and is very |
popular with all because of his we'll |
known integrity, legal ability and all |
around athletic record since coming to |
this city nine years ago. Mr.. Sweeley |
is a big man physically and agrees |
sive, one of the kind who will not only
push things to successful conclusion
but is never a gutter nor one to re-
fuse to fight for principle to the last
ditch. AS far as experience in con-
Quoting city affairs, Mr.. Sweeley is
well able to care for his duties and
WILL with his legal ability, greatly
aid the city in its problems. Mr.. Swee-
ley was early mentioned as a candi-
date and had his petition already fill
ed when he was made the choice of the
Pure Water Party"
The men backing the ticket are rep
resentative citizens drawn together for
a common purpose of making a hard
fight for better water system. There
is not any thought of personal gain
back of the idea to give Twin Falls a
good, pure supply of water. None of
them have sites to sell or any motive
aside from the general good 1t is
such men who, independent of past
administrations and untrammeled by
any past associations, are asking the
