Plzer Endorses Union Labor.
To the Public:
Since I have been a candidate for
Mayor a number of persons have In
quired as to my position on Union
Labor, and I take this opportunity to
make a public statement upon the
question.
Labor Is tho foundation of our pros
perity, when the laboring men are
prosperous, all others are prosper
ous. I believe that not only has tho
laboring man a right to organize, but
that It is his duty to do so, and that
in no other manner can ho obtain his
just share of the wealth which ho pro
duces. In my private business I have
always recognized Union Labor and
complied with its requirements.
Respectfully,
JULIUS PIZER.

School Patrons' .Meetings.
For a long time the teacners ana
pupils of the different schools havo
been planning a series of entertain
monts, ono to be given In each school
house for the purpose of allowing
tho teachers and parents to become
better acquainted. These meetings
have ben postponed from time to
time on account of tho epidemic but
they were definitely announced for
this week and It is regretted that thoy
conflict with some other entertain
ments. The meeting at the Jefferson
school Tuesday evening is for tho
patrons of that school. On Wednes
day the patrons of the Lincoln school
are to meet at the Lincoln building
add on Thursday tno Washington

A Soldiers' .Memorial.
Tho National Tribune, of Washing
ton, D. C, tho official ' organ of tho
Grand Army of the Republic, makes
tho following sensible' suggestion as
to a Soldiers Memorial:
"Just one suggestion to those who
are anxious to build some momorial to
the boys who went "over there:" No
arcn, no pane, no monument, no
bridge, no road. A hundred times
better than any of these will bo a
memorial hall, whero they can hold
their meetings, have their hendquar
tors store their relics and sovonlrs.
The memorial hall will bo a personal
gratification to every one of them as
long as ho lives. This Is the experi
ence of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic." The erection of a now fire proof
county court house with a memorial
hall therein would carry out this sug
gestlon In lino shape for this county.
Without any solicitation on my part
my frHidB havo scon fit to circulnto
nnd file tho necessary petition with
tiie city clerk to Insure tho placing of i
my name on tho bnllot for mayor
of this city. Whllo I mako no pro-
ten of being a politician, I havo do-
cldt J to give my consent to tho uso of
my .tine ns a candldnto for this of
fice believing that If elected, I am In
a f. -ornblo position to render the sor-
vic that tho offico demands.
'1 qualifications of tho various
candidates for this offico aro so well
knov-n to North Platto peoplo that It
set n , In a way usoloss for us at this
InU i'"to to attempt to place them
f the peoplo. Briefly speaking
irr to stnto that I stand for a
bn n -s-llke and economical admtu-
Istr tjon and will urge tho onrtet-
m f and enforcement of all ordi
nal' s to the ond that wo may havo

IMaito I nm a business man and a
pre i. rty owner, and every dollar that
I Iia - Is Invested In this city, nnd I
Int ml to continue to live and retain
all of my Interests at this place.
For tho last six years I havo been
associated as councilman with nil the
phasns of municipal affairs. By rea
son of this experience I feel that I
understand nnd can battle with tho
many problems Hint will confront tho
city administration within tho next
two years. Whllo city Improvement
during tho Inst year or so haa in a
measure given wny to tho moro I in
portant nnd necessary war work, it
will now behoovo tno city to double
Its efforts to place North Platto as
the most thriving nnd desirable city
of Its class In the state. My record as
councilman will Indicate that I havo
at all times taken a safo and sano po
sition upon nil questions touching
public Improvements.
From a standpoint of business, nnd
of a city as beautiful as well, tho vast
amount of work to be done on our
roads this year is of vital importance
and Interest. North Platto needs co
operation with stnto and city officials
toward the connecting of city jjii
nnte roads that Lincoln county peo
ple may travel any distance to and
from the city in mntters of business
and pleasure I deem this not .the
least of the Important demands con
fronting us, and I plcdgo myself to
work In conjunction with tho local
Chamber of Commerce and county of
ficials toward a practical, efficient
and rapid advance In tho matter of
building and maintaining streets nnd
roads.
Tho city is making rapid growth
We hnvo n large floating population
and as wo enter tho class of tho larger
cities, wo aro encountering many of
tho vices, of them In consequence. If
tho voters of North Platto see lit to
entrust tho managerial reins of tho
city government to my hands, I pledge
tq associate with mo a thoroughly ro
liable and comnetent nollce force
folding them at all times responsible
to me, as I will hold myself to tho
peoplo for tho enforcement of all or
dlnanccs a police force which will
co-operato with tho county and stnto
officinls In tho enforcement of I he
laws of tho state of Nebraska.
Wo are In a period of adjustment,
but the Impetus Is all toward expan
sion, Improvement and better munici
pal Hfo and wo heed the biggest and
best future possible to hold our po
sition ns tho big town of westorn Ne
braska. Wo can rightfully retain It
only by working together for North
Platto, and If elected I pledgo myself
to tho peoplo a workable and business
llko administration ono which will
