AFew Reasons
Why Independent Voters
Should Support
JOHN H. ROBERTS
For Mayor of
Brookings

John H. Roberts is a firm believer
in the Commission plan CT city gov
ernment and will do all in his power
to make IL success.
John H. Roberts. for the means al
his command, has done more for a
bigger and better Brookings than any
other man in the city.
John II. Roberts, If elected and with
the support OF the commissioners, will
install an up-to-date modern system
Of accounting for the various depart
ments OF the city, so that the commits
sioners and interested citizens may
tell at glance the profit or loss and
the real condition OF the light and
power plant. the heating system, tele-
phone and water. What are they now ?
John H. Roberts, the father OF two
children, has stood for public play
grounds and believes IL is crime
to force our children and youth upon
the streets in order to play the games
and sports so necessary to their
health and happiness. Unaided he has
done what he could for the boys and
girls of Brookings.
John II. Roberts believes in the
churches and the good they are doing
for the community, despite the oppo-
sition which he has encountered. His
many generous gifts to the needy are
probably greater in number and
amount than those Of any man in
the community, though known only to
himself and those aided and some few
In close personal touch with the man.
John II. Roberts is taxpayer and
will do all In his power by giving
us an economical business admins
tration to lower our taxes and will
do his level best to give the city a
fair and just assessment
John H. Roberts Is running abso-
lutely independent. He has refused
