If the honest householders Of this city desire some such
program as this enforced, there is a way to obtain it. The
people must not rest content to have their candidates for
mayor and councilmen hand picked for them by A handful
of personal friends. They must do their own picking. It is
their business that is at stake. They do the hiring and the

# the people will rise en- masse, and indicate by their

they desire for mayor and councilmen, big enough, broad

Win the Will OF the people, and not at the dictati0n of tho
underworld and the bootleggers, then The Tribune is ready
to take orders and render it's best service until the battle is
won.
The Tribune has no candidates other than candidates the
people choose. The Tribune's sole ambition is to assist Then,
in establishing their will. 1t is against everything and every
person who would attempt to thwart that will.
Street rumors that The Tribune is pledged to this cand;
date and is opposed to the other candidate are idle. The
Tribune is not concerned with candidates.. It has faith that
the people will select the candidates who will be worthy the
support of all men and women of the city.
