1T IS UP TO No.u!

mass meeting as the one held at the
city hail on Monday night was possi-
BILE. 1t is a good sign of the times,
when the best people in community;
the qsople that make up the rank
and the file of its citizenship, can
come together without respect to any
sort of conditions and discuss in sin
cere, earnest fashion great move
ment for the common good of the
whole people.
Indeed, the writer has been TO many
mass meetings in our beautiful city
hall; he has witnessed some soul stir
ring scenes in that historic edifice and
he has seen many gatherings there,
all devoted to the interest Of the city
and the county, the nation and the
world! Yet, that meeing of Monday
night was the most inspiring one, he,
has ever attended there There was
something in it, that told us that we
we're at the parting of the ways. that
we must smite with united solIdari-
ty every movement that stands out
against the progress and development
of this fair little city, which has
weathered with a stoicism ! beyond
compare, every sort of stomr that
ever came to a people! There was
that divine spark of mutual agreement,
in that meeting that said in pain, un-
mistakable language ''the time has
come for action, we have pondered
and thought too long mad we ere
drifting the wrong way, we must turn
our faces to the rising san and Go the
things that other growing commuui-
ties are doing or we must migrate to
some other city, where this thought is
creed and where men and women
are living in that creed!
That was the message!
Did you get it?
If you did did you not feel better
about it all. Was there not some
quicker pulsating throb in yonr heart,
as you heard those Brunswick mon
fsnd that one splendid Brln ,wick wo.
man, God bless herr stand up before
a great Brunswick audience and tell
you the things you had not .,i3nc and
point out to you the tll.@gs You ought
To do, to make a great city and a
growing, developing county?
Now then, just ia few lines ON the
election today, we are full of the mass
meeting, for it was impressive and to
us opened the leaves Of now and a
wonderful book to the people of Biuns
wick.
The issues in this campaign are
plain and simple; many efforts to be
cloud them have failed We are mere;
ly voting to issue $175.000 IN county
bonds to erect this bridge to st. ST.
mon. Not one dollar of this money
will be expended until the city has
ioined ina similar election and agre ed
legally TO spend a similar amount
Again, the authorities in city and in
county cannot spend one dollar more
than HI authorized by the people and
those who tell you differently are mis-
takens For instance. the county will
be authorized today to spend Sl75,C0o
on the project, and that's the limit OF
their authority,
Please get that In mind!
There can be no million dollars
spent on this project aud no people
know that better than those who aie
scattering the propaganda.
Two other thoughts and we arc
through with the issue for weaG ar for
woe, for better or for worse.
