up at the polls, the 'domineerins po-
litical boss who poses as our represen-

Every prospective voter in the ward

South Philadelphia.
J. c. Trainer Leads Fight
Joseph G. Trainer is heading the
/! fight against the Wares, for q clean
! city and an honest government
The appeal sent to voters reads
"The time is fast approaching when
the citizens and taxpayers oil the city
of Philadelphia must realize the fact
that if we are not to have another city
administration like the one we have
now. they must rouse themselves to
action and begin to take an interest in
political affairs. Only through this
means can we cvcrs hope to overthrow
the present contractor controlled or
ganization which claims to represent the
Republican party. and which has
brought so much injury'to the good
name Of Philadelphia and caused the
tax rate to be raised until it has be-
come hardship on the workingman
and his family.
Plea to Taxpayers
'Knowing you to be taxpayer
, and this is true if you rent a house
and do not own it, because increased
taxes means increased rents-we are
appealing to you to join the Repub-
Leans who are opposed to political con
tractors owning and running our gov
ernment. and help us bring about a
better condition for ourselves and our
families .
"With this thought in mind we are
mailing you postal card, WHICH if gou
will sign and please return at once, we
can begin our fight for decent city of
Philadelphia and elect a Mayor who win
be the Aeople's choice.
''Nou perhaps. like many more Of our
self respecting South Philadelphia citi-
zens. have had to be the unfortunate
victim Of jibes and criticisms because
it has been claimed in other parts of
our great city, that we have permitted
the largest street cleaning contractor in
the world to obtain large majorities in
our section, thereby making him power
that was indisputable under the present
weak and vacillating city adninistra
ton.
Put Up to Voters
1T is up to us to redeem the fair
name of our great scction-South Phila-
delphia-and wipe out once and for all
the domineering political boss who poses
as our representative. when in fact his
reputation has only been accomplished
by tyrannizing and brow beating our
to do his will or lose their means of
| livelihood
THE new city charter, for the en-
! forcement of which we hope to elect q
Mayor that will not be controlled by
contractor influence, remedies many
abuses, and it Is up to you to help in
/ bringing this hoped for Improvement in
our condition to a glorious realization.
Under the new law y0l will have to
| go TO the polling place, in your division
and register, if possible ON the first day.
BE sure you register, as you can rest
assured the contractors will get out
every vote favorable to them.
BE Sure to Vote
Then the great day when the ci1-
z"ns can redeem Philadelphia is primary
election day, Tuesday September 16,
on which day be sure to exercise your
right of suffrage and vote for good gov
ernmcnt through the respectable men
who will be nominated that day by
those opposed to the contractors"
