SIX CANDIDATES
HAVE APLATFORH
Z unman, Hackctt, Jaxdine, Larno
reau, Diexel, Xetcalfe in Anti
Administration Campaign.
WILL MEET MONDAY NIGHT
-"NEW MANAGER GENT'S TURKISH-
' INGS AT HA YD EN BROS.
As the outcome of a succession ,of
conferences, Harry B. Zimman, Harry
J. Hackett, W." S. Jardine, A. A.
Lamoreaux, John C. Drexel and J.
W. Metcalfe, six nominees for the
city election have agreed upon a
platform oh which Jthey will make a.
Joint anti-administration campaign:
Th platform la as follows:
1, W. will ko Into office free men( and
to long as' we continue in office w snail
remain free. No c.iriorntlon, Individual
or Interest will have any special claim or
secret Hen upun us. Vve will, in the dis
charge of orttrlat duties, tecosTnixe no
olI mutton ex-eit to the people or Omaha
the whole people ve promise no
sweeplnff or radical reforms, but do
promise a firm and efficient enforcement
of law and a progressive, temperate and
i clean administration. Omaba is Krvat
city, fast growlnr gTenter, and the poilcy
' of those who administer Its affairs should
be a broad policy v policy that will, with
the, least taxation, give the greatest Inv
i petua to development along legitimate
lines. '
-We will reorganise the various city
departments to the end that better ser-
vice may bw obtained at less cost: and
will see ttiat the tax payes' money Is ex
ponded .win the asms retrard to economy
ana results that would be exercised In
our own private business. N
3. We favor ths strict enforcement of
the Hiocumb law, not only because the
lawless traffic of. liquors should be sup-jn-ested,
but also because the licensed
cknUr should not be put In i-ompetitlon
with the unlicensed dealer. 1-rive lep
ers should not 'be permitted tot enaage In
the saloon business. Joints of every kind
and dt srifUon , should be eupprcssyO
wltlioit delay. '
4. The police department should be etv-
; iireiy tree rrom utiM iniiuencea, uo
Its aim and uollcv- should be to enforce
the laws reasonably', humanely, fearlessly
ana impartially.
5. The nra'tic-v and MwMure In the no-
lice court should fee governed by the same
principles, as thofe that guide and gov-
I'll thn hlulu,Mi.llrli In Ika n ifll n tat SU
tlon f Justice. i ' '
I! rtj.. if. r, i I r. fit a falrl.-a ntift ttlnptr.
. ent merchants should mot bo tolerated.
They bave no bargains and only.- inter
teru with legitimate business.
7. TMer should be a. physical valuation
of the property of all l'ranchlsed corpora
tions to riie end thatuhe city may regu
late and control the service and put a
Just limitation on .their rates. Electric
: light rates should be substantiailyre
eniced by ordinance Immediately.
K. We favor municipal ownership of all
public utilities and we contend that steps
Miould be taken Immediately for the ac
quisition of the gas plant rather than to
wait for the 'expiration of the existing
franchise. . .
We favor the Idea ef the city taking
steps to-acquire the electric light plant
and to operate this monopoly for the ben
efit of the city, and we will exert our
best efforts to induce the voters to ap
prove bond Issues for the gas and electric
light plsnts. - ' . 1
it is also our belief that hi the event
the city cannot Satisfactorily agree with
the Electrlo Light company pn the terms
of purchase, the city should have the
, oitamaiiva to eomoete bv municipal oper-
h.iu mitnlclrmllv-owned plants
should be managed and In control of men
having technical knowledge and of the
highest business qualifications. .
t. The Omaha garbage system should be
modernized. The city should have com
plete control of the collection and dis
position of garbage Instead of letting- long
time contracts to private W-...":
ductlon plant should be established, thus
affording the city a, more sanitary gar
J bags system. The by-products ,.of the re-
- Suction plant can be sold an thus reduce
the expense of operation. . -
"jo; The street lighting . system of .our
. . lMnmvU In that OTlf1 CltV
j , t ).. nf well
A may aiaou " V. i ,
1U A charter convention 'should be
called as soon as possible so that Oroana
. may work under charter of Its own
.snaking and not be abllged to go to the
capital every time we want an addition
. or amendment, m .
i 11. The Improvement of the boulevara
and park system would be a. splendid
'way to advertise Omaha. Other pities
t.. anent millions v'to Omaha s
thousasds in boulevanl Improvements
Omaha has a fine boulevard system, laid
out. and It Is time -for public . spirited
officials to work toward the completion
and the beautificatlon of this magnificent
eystem of pleasure thoroughfares.
Recreation spots, play grounds and
municipal bath houses deserve .our care
ful attention. '
Money for Advertising
It is expected' that out or a number of
men invited; fifteen will be selected next
Monday evening to conduct the cam
paign. An office will be opened on the
eleventh floor of the City National Bank
building, and it Is stated that a schedule
of meetings will Je arranged.
4 campaign fund . will be secured for
picture cards of these six candidates and
for other advertising. ;
