PRESIDENT - SUPERVISOR

To the Voters of the Village Of
Eagle River
/ hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the offices of President of
the. Village of Eagle River and Super
visor The two offices should be held
by one man. Whoever looks after the
affairs of the Village should repre-
sent that village on the County Board
as he would necessarily be more con
yersant with the needs of the village
therefore more able to gain those
needs than a person who is not thor
oughly conversant with the affairs of
the Village The duties OF Supervisor
of a village is to represent said vii
lage upon the County Board and has
no voice in the affairs or management
of the village otherwise.
For that reason ask for the cleo
ton to both offices and would not
accept one without the other
Taxes are becoming a burden and
the only way to reduce them is to
|
strike everywhere we can at unneces-
sary expenditures. Neither | nor any
other person can reduce these taxes
4 with one sweep of the axe; but it
elected, i will vote for any necessary
/ appropriation for anything that will
i help the people of the Village Of Eagle
River in particular or the County Of
Villas as a whole, and vote against
i and fight to the last ditch for any
thing not necessary or not needed.
Mortal man can do no more. Time
and honest government alone can re-
duce your taxes.
i promise to work for the best in
/ terests of the whole people of the
village without fear or favor.
The village streets are, without
hardly one exception, a disgrace, some
Of them being almost impossible for
autos and all team can do to get
through. If elected / will repair these
streets, or as many Of them as | can
beginning with the ones mostly used
and needed, if it is possible to In
any way raise the money to do So
Fast and reckless driving upon the
main streets of the village is danger
Gus and should be stopped, and trial
fic man should be employed during
the rush months to see that the law
is strictly enforced before some
worthy life is snuffed out by sucl
carelessness.
/ believe that the parking of cars
. upon each side of the streets OF the
main business blocks is more danger
Gus to life and limb than fast drivins
: and that all cars should be parked IL
the center of the street leaving free
massage on both sides. Let's stop this
: before we pick up the mangled form
Of some mothers precious child 1t is
better to lock the barn while we still
have the horse, although possibly moi
e quite so easy.
These are but few of the TaOst
necessary things / think needed fol
the good Of the whole people Of the
village. If you agree with me, | woulc
like your vote If you don't, remember
you are not harming me in the least
by voting against me, but possibly
l doing me the greatest favor you can
! NV opponents are able men; have the
interests of the village at heart as
f much and maybe more than l, and 9
vote for them means a vote for hon
est government, possibly only along
l different lines than | believe in.
r My platform is economy and the
best interests of all have no other;
? | will do nothing else. | want to see
Eagle River grow and become the
? best Summer town in the play
! grounds of the North Woods and cor
: tinue to be as it is today: the bes
business town Of it's size in the State
Y of Wisconsin. II you think I, at its
s head, can help to make it so, or keel
! it so, put me there if not by al
! means don't vote for me and you vii
Z be the best friends have. Election j.
April 7th.
Yours truly,
