a progressive administration means
an harmonious one.
Which ever may the election goes,
il would be far better to elect a solid
ticket for either faction than it would
be to elect a few Of one and few of
another.

FROM WALTER PEDRICK
TO OCALA VOTERS

My campaign for the city election of
next Tuesday has been conducted
quietly, but has not been any the less
intense for that reason. 1t has been
manifestly impossible for the candi-
dates to personally interview every
voter, and there has been no platform
speech making by which candidates
could get in intimate touch with the
voters. But the campaign is almost
at close, and l want to reach every
citizen with an expression of my
views and ! take this method of doing
so
/ am a candidate chiefly because /
feel in common with large number
cf citizens, that the affairs of the city
have not been successfully and salts
factorily managed for the past sew
eral years. / want to see a change
for the better and / believe you do
too. Our charter has never had fair
test and / believe the temper of the
citizens is in favor of fair trial of
the city manager form of govern
ment. Our streets are not what they
ought to be; we spend entirely too
much money on streets with nothing
to show for sit. We need a we'll
considered ard comprehensive plan of
street improvement, and the work
should be undertaken at once and
carried to completion, and while we
are doing it sound business principles
should be applied in the spending of
the money. This l pledge myself to
and intend to see accomplished. With
reference to taxes, of course every
candidate is expected to promise re-
duction of taxes. But / do promise
that the tax roll shall be revised Sc
that every one will more nearly bear
his just share of the burden Of taxa.
tion. And feel sure that if the bur
den is equally distributed it will b'
lighter on some than it is now. Al
of these things / pledge myself to i
elected, so far as my influence cal
bring them about.
} We simply need the same attention
to the city's business by its officer
that they would give to their privat'
business, and feeling as ! do that pub
lie Office is a public trust, ! promis
faithful attention to my duties.
It is the duty CT every citizen Il
vote and / feel sure that on mex
Tuesday your ballot win be for tn
best interest of the city. ! viii ap

A LETTER FROM MR.. THOMAS

To the Citizens and Voters of ocsla:
On account of being confined to my
bed for almost two weeks with a
broken foot and 6islocated ankle, /
have been unable TO see a majority of
the voters, which l regret very much.
For the above reason, / took the lib
erty, Saturday. to mail out number
of circulars to the voters l have been
unable to see. l wish to add to the
circular that it has always been my
opinion that if the city of Ocala could
obtain the right man for city man.
ager, it would be a great thing for
the advancement of the city and, of
course, it takes a capable man to
make a success in any line Of busi-
ness.
Now in regard to the editorial in
Saturdays Star headed "a Campaign
Document" / wish to say that knew
nothing about the compiling of this
statement until sometime before noon
Thursday, however i approved Of the
act and / think the statement should
be and is very gratifying to the citi-
zens and tax payers of Ocala. rs to
the statement being campaign docu-
ment, / can only speak for myself and
give it the lie.
In reference to campaign docu-
ments, want to ask the editor of the
Star just few questions and then the
people can decide for themselves
whether or not it is the Star that is
getting out campaign documents OF
the candidates. First: Why did not
the Star write and head the state
ment in as nice a manner as the Ban.
ner did and then let the people decide
for themselves? Second: Why is il
that the editor of the Star is continu
ally throwing the hooks into the pres
ent council while each and every ont
of them is doing his very best for thu
city's interest? Third: Why is it HI
used to praise the electric light ant
water plant when the city had moth
ing but regular trap which wa
broken down one-half to two-thirds o
. the time?
We will all know by tomorrow nigh
who is defeated and wish to say tha
il / am defeated, / will take it like
, jolly good sport, but if elected,
shall do my very best for the upbuild
| ing and beautifying of Ocala.
: In all sincerity,
: A. t. Thomas.

that portion in which he says that he
was in a minority of the council. Mr..
Winer and himself were that minority
which prevented the election of a city
manager over a year ago. | myself
talked to Mr.. Winer for a long time in
an attempt to get him to consent to
try out the present charter. His
statement to me was that he had
never been in favor Of this charter,
and that he believed the people of
Ocala were not in favor of it, and he
would not consent to fair trial of its
provisions. Mr.. Thomas, Mr.. Gold
man and Mr., Simmons were in favor
OF the election of a city manager, but
since Mr. Mckenzie refused to resign
the title which was in fact all that he
held, it required four members of the
council to act.
The next and most vital issue is the
question of stret improvements. Near
ly every citizen and voter is familiar
/ with the action of the council in re-
i gard to contracts for street paving

specifications were made and the bids
received that there was in reality nc
competition against the Finley method
of paving. There was however, ar
Exceedingly low asphalt bid which the
council disregarded. Investigation
has shown that the asphalt bid wa:
by far the most advantageous for tbs
city in respect to durability of the
paving and the maintenance of it
Nevertheless this bid was disregardeC
. and this by unanimous action of th'
council. As the public is aware, al

Earl d. Farmn aud Herman FL.
Taylor, all of Standpoint aud all
interested in the creation Of a new
state in the north, came to Boise with
new plan to submit TO the legisla-
Jure. They prepared resolution oD
the subject to take the place of the
resolution submitted some days
before providing for convention 10
Moscow next summer.
The later plan which these men
presented as substitute provides for
the creation Of commission to be
composed of five men from northern
Idaho, two TO be appointed by the
president OF the senate. and three 10
be appointed by the speaker of the
house. This commission is TO Co
operate with like commission

expected TO prepare memorial to be
submitted to the legislatures of
Washington and Idaho two years
