In accordance with custom, make the following declura-, tlon of principles: We believe that, tinder our present system of representative government, the best Interest of Nation. State and Muni cipality will be subserved by the election of the candidates of some responsible part. representing certain principles and a well defined platform enabling the electorate to hold, not only the Indi vidual officials, but the Tarty responsible for the faithful discharge of the duties of the office as well as the adherence to the principles enunciated. We believe In a faithful and econom ical administration of the affairs of the City and that the annual expenditures should be less than the receipts and that the alarming Interest bearing Indebted ness of the City should be annually re duced and discharged as rapidly a pos sible. We believe that public and semi-pub- i lie utilities should he operated and used for, the best Interest of the whole peo ple and that no franchise for any such utility should be grunted In perpetuity. We urn opposed to the granting of any franchise whereby the exclusive use of any of the streets of the City shall lie given to any corporation, without Just cmpcnsiitlon. and then only for a limited ,erlod. In no case exceeding iwenly-flve years. We believe that the best Interests of the whole city shall tie advanced by the peedy completion of what Is known as the South End Road. Filing proud of our City we believe that the civic pride of all of our citizens should be encouraged to the end that our city shall have clean and well kept streets, alleys, and public square and the best administration and enforcement of Its law and business affair possible. We hereby pledge our candidates nomi nated at this convention to the faithful adherence to the letter and spirit of thla platform. WORK OF NATIONAL GRANGE.

COURT TAKES HAND INJUNCTION AGAINST CITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED. Council' Right to Pas Ordinance I Conceded, But Court Restrain Execution of Contract Circuit Judge McBrlde Monday morning rendered a decision holding that the In junction sgalnst the city council be modi fied to the eirtent that the council and the Mayor have the right to pas and approve the ordinance but restraining the council from executing the contract that Is provided for In the ordinance. Th court also give the plaintiff the right to amend her complaint. This decision of Judge 'McFtide la considered a victory for the antl-fran-chlse people. The franchise queatloa will be the real Issue in the city election In December when a Mayor and three councllmen are to be elected. In making hi decision. Judge McBrlde said In substance: "The passage of the amended ordi nance Is a legislative act and while the court may have Jurisdiction to prevent the execution of a contract under It, It cannot Interfere to prevent the council passing the ordinance. "While the provision In the ordinance providing for a perpetual franchise la probably beyond the power of the council to grant, a court of equity will not In terfere to prevent the passage of an ordi nance because some of It provision may be void aa a void promise in the ordinance will confer no right on any one and cannot work ii reparable damage. "The passage of an ordinance grant ing a franchise over property claimed to tie private will not be enjoined for the reason that it cannot confer anv rights on any one and cannot work Ir reparable damage In a case of thi kind. "Court of equity srlll r.ol suspend the legislative powera of a city council to try a question aa to wte'.her a proooeed franchise can pas ovei private property. That It la beyond the power of the c'ty to pass an odrlnance which shall in effect prohibit citizens f.-om passing over the urface of the treet. "That the injunction in this case be so modified that the city council may have authority to vote upon and the Mayor to approve the ordinance, the pas sage of which I sought to be restrained, but that the actual execution of the con tract provided for In said ordinance be restrained until further order of thia court, and that the plaintiff be allowed to amend he complaint." At a meeting of the council Monday night the measure granting the Southern Pacific Company a perpetual franchise to Railroad avenue was passed, and the City Attorney Story wa Instructed to prepare the contract, together with the plans and specifications for the Improve ments proposed by the railroad company and agreed to in the franchise ordinance. When completed, the contract together with the plans and specifications that will be drafted for the work, will be sub mitted to Judge McBrlde, accompanied by a motion on the part of the city legal representatives for the permanent dissolving of the Injunction.
