of our city. It has been said that there is little chance for progress when the people are in a state Of what practically is known as con- tentment for them. It is that they are bullied into a feeling of security that is unreal. When the question: ing spirit is abroad ill our city, then is the time of awakening, when the people begin to weigh public ques- tions and start to study the records of their public servants. Inquiry into matters of public concern al ways is a manifest of deep thinking. There can be no improvement, no real reform until the people have been thoroughly aroused.
 The hack horse politician always takes alarm when the people begin 10 take stock Of what is being serv- ed to them in the form of admini- stration of public affairs. The poii- ticians want the people to go along with them, unquestioning the inter ests of the politicians who do there thinking for them. In a time when the earth is yielding plentiful, | more than abundant, supply of food stuffs in a time when the rich are growing richer. when the banks and the great corporations are reporting huge profits for their favored few stockholders.
 Intelligent men, trained to hard work, skilled in the various trades are peopling the bread lines and the soup kitchens. This shows thac something is radically wrong. A sys- tenn of government that falls down and produces poverty in a period of rich productiveness is radically wrong. The fault must lie with the men who have been charged with the conduct of public affairs. Mon- opoly ought not to thrive at the ex- pense of the people.
 Such a condition will not long exist when an enlightened public opinion is brought to bear upon af- fairs and that is what appears to be developing these days. The old standpatters who have been spread ing standpat sophistry have been weeping for some time and there are no indications Of them soon drying their tears. Join our association and bring justice to all.'

 Pleased With Election Result
 Continuing, he said:
 The results of the election are & source of profound satisfaction to every independent voter in our city. It is the greatest victory in recent history. Throughout the city the people unmistakably repudiated re- actionary leadership.
 Significant too, is the fact that this great success came in the face of much opposition and in spite of the expenditure of large sums of money in behalf of the candidates backed by the forces of wealth and special privilege. It was assuredly victory against no small opposl- tion and all the more credit should be given to the voters Of this city who refused to be blinded by the old ballyhoo Of the old guard and voted for the candidates they felt sure were qualified to serve their int terests.
 Tt must not be supposed, how ever. that because voters have made a splendid showing in our city that their victory can be made lasting with little effort. It is only too true that the forces Of reaction never rest. They will be hammering away, laying plans for the future come back in our city where they suffer- ed defeat in this election. The vot- CTS have every right to feel elatcd over the outcome of our city and state election.
 They can now feel sure that they will be represented in the legisla- ture by men who will be approach able but they should feel encourag- ed rather than satisfied by their sue cess at the polls on November 4.

"A little while ago you saw how they fixed the desks, chairs and stools which were sold for 10 cents piece.
