 That the Commercial Clubs action the almost sentiment of the citizens of Yuma goes without ing Left vote of the people the hghbnders would be wiped off the face of the earth unless they obey the de- mands expressed in the Commercial Club resolutions. If the city council refuses act in this very important matter # fate that initiative will be taken to protect the people from being longer robbed and gouged by the Los Angeles of the local company The time has for the aldermen show where they stand in this important matter They either WITH the people or they are AGAINST them By their votes shall we know them Keep your eyes open good people, and then act cordngy You afford permit the highbnders rob you any longer You must be your guard.
