To the Voters of the City ol Marlon. Inasmuch as Mr. W. H. Clark, candidate for Mayor on what is known as The Peoples' Ticket" has published a statement giving his reasons for making the race, and the necessity for another ticket in addition to the Citizens Ticket, of which the undersigned arc the nominees, from which statement of Mr. Clark the citizens might be led to presume that wc arc advocating the measures which he proposes to correct, and in order that the voters may know our position upon those matters, wc desire to submit the following statement of our intcntious if we should be elected. First, wc do not believe that it is necessary to have more than one telephone exchange in our town, for the reason that it is a double tax upon the business men, who would be re quired to subscribe to two 'phoues instead of one, and for the further rcasou that wc think our streets should not be furthered encumbered with the poles and wires necessary ior the establishment of another system, not only taking up the use of the street, but increasing the danger to the citizens by the increased liability of the wires to become crossed with the electric light wires. Wc also believe that the expenses of operating the city should be kept down to the lowest possiblo limit, compatible with good government and the maintenance of our streets in good condition. Wo also endorse the adoption of the local option law in our town, and wc believe that any violation of the local option law by the salo of whiskey or other intoxicants or the importation of any of thorn for the purpose of sale in our city, in violation of the law, should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, and we pledge ourselves to uso our best endeavors to have auy one engaged in the sale ol intoxicating liquor within the town, punished to the fullest extent of the law without partiality or favor to any one. And in this connection, wc pledge ourselves that we will uot repeal the presont ordinanco which provides a penalty of imprisonment of auy violating the local option law. A our Board is nominated a a

non-partisan Board, and is not the ticket of any party, we do not believe that the politics of any one should be considered in selection of officers to be named by the Board of Councilmcn, aud in the selection of officers wc shall endeavor to select those best qualified to perforin the duties of the offices to be filled without regard to politics. In regard to the Ordinance fixing the salary of the City Attorney at $300.00, which was passed at the first meeting while Dr. Shivcly, the Peoples candidate for Mayor, was in office, while we do not wish to question the judgment of the old Council for passing the ordinance at that time, when saloons were open in the city, and prosecutions were daily occurrences in the Police Court, yet, since the conditions have changed so that we have no open saloons in our city, and the duties of the City Attorney do not demand so much time,, wc do not believe that the conditions
