E. H. Evans. Esn..
Chairman Republican City Central
Committee, j
Dear Sir:
Two vears aco. when I was re-
nuested bv citizens of North Platte,
Democrats and Republicans, to become
that I woald not bo a partisan candi- (k
date, tnut I did not believe that parti- v
sanship should have any more weight
in the selection of city officers than it
would be in the selection of the officera
and directors of a corporation, that, if
the good people of North Platte, regard
less of party, desired me to be their can
didate, I would accept the office and
nerve them to the best of my ability,
but that I would not enter Into a per
sonal contest for votes.
It was under the save circumstances
that 1 was renominated and elected ono
vear aco.
It was bv the adoption and mainten
ance of tho principle of non-partisan
ship in tho affairs of the city that wn
were able to unite our people on a prac
tical solution of tho water works prob
lem. There are other problems coming
up for settlement in our city that should
be solved in the same way. to the bent
of nil the people, and not in the interest
of any political party.
The water works problem is only half
won. To garner the fruits ol our vic
tory it will b necessary for our people
to present a united front. And uellov-
ing, as I do, that it would bo detrimen
tal to the best interests for our people
at this time to divide on political lines,
I cannot consent to bo a party to such
division by accepting the republican
nomination tendered me.
And unloss an arrangement can be
effected by which my candidacy will re
ceive the non-partisan support that it
did ono and two years ngo, I will be
compelled to decline the republican
nomination for Mayor.
Sincerely thanking the members- of
tho republican mass convention for the
honor of the nomination tendered me,
I remain very respectfully yours,
Thos. C. Patterson,
