I am in the race' to win, and believe that all honest mem will vote for me ad the principles I. represent I believe that Mcdford should have the best officers that are possible to get that men should4 be elected to fill office knowing, that when tube get those offices thoy will be required to 'fill them in a creditable manner. 1 believe that the interest of the many should be served instead of the interests of the few that politics should not enter into a city government that progress should be shown, at all times and yet that expensnes should be kept as low as pos sible that the honest majority should rule at all times that only those lhcn properly fitted to fill certain offices should be appointed to those offices and that no graft should be allowed to entenr into tho city affairs at any time. 1 am a republican always have been one and will re main one for a long time I hope. I am. running on an in dependent ticket in this election and have the assurance of a great many friends that I will be olected. I have held several offices, and wherever I have been I have made godd and can show a clean record. I can give to this city the kind of administration the, majority of cit izens would desire. I do not hang around the saloons do not cater to them. Still I believe that if the majority should express a wish' to see them continued, I will do nothing to hinder them as long as they keep strictly within the law. Iff any should violate the law 1 will do all in my powfcr to see that they are punished, and if they poiwist in violating the law F will strive to sco that their licenses are revoked. I believo that I can fill tho offico of mavor in a mosti creditable manner. that I can save tho cit' money that I can insure more harmony that there will be less cause for dissatisfaction than ever before that every interost that deserves to be served will be served in the very best manner. I am not pledged to prohibit jonista or saloons, to cliques or interests of any kind and have no frionds who are seek ing office. My only object in running for tho office of mayor is this 1 wish to sec that, the city government is run as it should, be, run. There is but; one way to riuYthis city, and that is on tho square. Can anyone state that it has ever been run that way? Hasn't it been run more for the spe cial interests than for the interests of all? Haven't one. class of citizens been favored while the other and many times better class been ignored? "Who are the real rulers of this city? The people should rule, and if T am elected I will do all in my power to see that ..the people do rule. pTf'you want the people to rule you, you should vote forme. Will Appoint Advisory Board. If elected to the office of mayor, I propose to appoint an advisory board, which will consist of at least seven rep resentative citizens. Before appointing anyone to office T will call a meeting of this advisory board and consult with thorn as to who is the best fitted to hold tho several offices. I may not always know who is the best for the offices to bo filled, and by advising with representative citizens T am sure to recommend the best mon. In this way L will bo compel lod to go according to the wishes of the people and will not bo running a one-man affair or dealing out appointments to friends or relations. Not that 1 do not feel capable of choosing the right man, but that the people may be sure that everything is being done for their best interests. Respectfully, E. R A. BITTNER.
