The candidates of the Home Rule Association in accord
ance with the statutes the subject have made state
ment whatsoever to what form of government they
favor what recommendation to the voters they
would make if elected If these candidates elected
they have solemny promised openly for the sole
purpose of considering ALL forms of municipal govern
men counsel with the citizens of Pensacola and after
mature elaboration and research to recommend to the
voters of Pensacola that form of government which they
deem best suited to her needs be accepted rejected
as the voters might see1ft.
Upon this platform the Home Rule Association and
the gentlemen above mentioned stand so1idy-it is the
one platform which the forth believe
after reading and carefully considering this message that
the candidates of the Home Rule Association will be given
the overwhelming of confidence of those citizens of
