wanted in their clubs. That curse
survives, north and south. There is
still an impression, altogether toe
widespread, that the degree of ones

THE PEOPLE SPEAK

1t is all over, and let us hope, as
the banners would say, "Once and for
all time" We refer to the gas ques-
tion The figures of the election reg
lister the will of the people so en-
phatically that there should no longer
be any doubt on the question as to
just what the people want. By vote
of nearly five to one the people de-
clared in favor of artificial gas. These
figures were beyond the expectations
of the closest friends Of artificial gas,
though it was plain weeks and months
ago that the majority of people favor
ed artificial gas from the Hamilton
Furnace Company.
Many reasons might be given, how
ever, for the overwhelming majority
in favor of artificial gas, and from the
Hamilton Furnace Company. Some of
them are:
1st. 1t is much believed that the
natural gas supply is rapidly dimin-
ishing and will soon run out, and
with the opportunity for getting big
artificial gas-making plant right at
our doors we should take advantage
of it.
End. Coming of the Hamilton Fur
mace Company means much for devel-
opment, expansion and growth of
Hamilton. Giving employment to
hundreds of men, not only in the
plant itself, but by reason of the
erection of many new homes, railroad
men because of the immense amount
Of freight to be handled for the big
plant each day, the coming in of
other industries because of the close
proximity of materials and supplies
cheap gas, pig iron and the many by
products of the plant, etc.
3rd. The great confidence the peo-
pie seem to have in the Hamilton Fur
mace Company doing just what it
promises Mr. Joe Savage, of The
company, by his apparent sincerity,
made hundreds of friends for his
company among those with whom he
came in contact with at meetings of
improvement associations and other
organizations where he spoke during
the campaign.
