Platform
I beg leave to define my position on
the following public questions;
Saloon Regulation.

Saloon Regulation.
The Sunday closing law and the
midnight closing ordinance will be
firmly and impartiaIIy enforced as to
all of the saloons in the city. Saloons
will not be permitted to harbOr i'm

and for sufficient legal cause. The
payment OF license money entities the
saloon keeper, as well as any other
Iicensee, 80 Just treatment. That he
shall have; no more, no less.
Labor.
| am in favor of home labor on
street improvements and local con-
tracts. wherever possible, and | am in
favor Of employing union labor on all
public buildings constructed by the
city, or under its control.
Highways.
am in favor of improving our high
ways leading out into the country on
an equitable basis, assessing the cost
of same on all who will be benefited,
instead OF all on the abutting prop
erty. so as TO hold and increase our
country trade.
Improved Street System.
We have Outgrown our sewerage
system. which is now inadequate to
carry OF both sewage and storm wa
ter. | am in favor OF a sewerage sys-
tenn that viii meet the requirements
of "Greater Rock Island"
Annexation.
/ am in favor of extending the city
limits to Rock river on the south, and
from the Mississippi on the west to
the Moline line; but the territory
must come in freely and without pres
sure by the city administration. We
want them. we need them. They need
our schools and other improvements.
The benefits will be mutual.
Public improvements.
am In favor of public improve
meDts wherever possible, when the
same does not place heavy burden
on the property holder. The poor have
enough to do to earn living in these
hard times. I think the people who
have TO pay the bills should have some
thing to say as 10 the n8ture of the
and its necessity.
Finance.
wealthy corporation like the city
OF Rock Island should be able to exist
en- current revenues, without over
drafts or borrowing money at 9 per
cent from the banks. ! am I'm favor
of finding ont and informing the pub
lie just what the faults in the present
system are.
/ am asking the support OF the vot-
ers on my past record as man and
as an official Ny interests are all in
Rock Island. / am not interested In
any non-union concern, nor do ! own
