ALL FOR REFORM
Citizen's Mass Meeting Will Adopt a
Platform at City Hall Tonight,
Republican Machine Is Alarmed and Pro
poses Drastic Measures of Reform
in City Affairs,
The situation of the city of Salem,
Is one requiring tho best efforts of all
well-meaning citizens. Tho city's
financial credit must bo pres-cned and
the Salem or tho future must not bo
lost sight or.
Out or all tho discussion had In this
campaign and out of all the statistics
published tn Tiik Journal there lias
coino a demand for retrenchment and
better business methods that will
bear fruit In tho next city adminis
tration, Thr Journal looks for eomo
good representative taxpayors and
business men to bo nominated at tho
Republican primaries and city con
vcntlun.Thcrc are perhaps as good men
In the regular Republican organiza
tion as among tho Independents, but
they will bo compelled to place tho
Interests of tho city secondary to tho
Interests of tho machine.
The Republicans are not all thieves
and enemies of the taxpayer,any mure
than members of tho Union party are
anarchists and enemies of the govern
ment. Rut all must admit that Re
publican management of the Cllyof
Salem has not been crcdltablo or busi
ness like. Republican!: who have been
meeting as citizens and taxpayers uro
an earnest body of men. laying nstde
all personal and partisan motives,
even defying tlio regular parly organ
ization, In tho hopo or putting the
business Intcrosts of the capital City
In better order.

A. N. Rush, who was named on the
citizen's ticket for treasurer, declines
to stand as a candidate. While ho
takes a deep Interest tn public affairs,
and sympathizes with tho effort to bet
ter conditions In our city, ho lias
tho details and responsibility of
a largo business devolving upon
him, and thinks ho cannot give the
duties of a public position the tlmo
und attention It requires. The
citizens' mass meeting will probably
Indorse Mr. A. A. Lee, tho present
treasurer. They can do no bettor
unless It would bo to put up some man
who would serve for nothing, and save
the city 3100 a year
The machine Republicans know
that the Independent Republicans at
tho head of tho citizen's movement
are deeply lu earnest about retrench
ment. Tlio rmichlno promises to put
up a ticket and a platform pledged to
do In city atfalrs exactly what tlio Re
publican delegation did In county
affairs. They 'promise to do moro In
the way or reforms than the citizen's
movement promises. Rut the citizens'
ticket will be placed upon a spccllln
platform of retrenchment at tho City
Hall meeting tonight that will com
pel tho regular Republicans to make
prolty sovcro propositions to their
candidates Saturday night, if they
do nnt putupand elect men who will
keep their pledges, thcro will bo great

well-known citizens and taxpayers.
O. P. Hlshop Is a promlncnt"nll-wool"
