lll! 't JSr'Uff i r' FRUK 6. DAM.6REII. To the Republican voters of the Thirty-second ward. Fellow Citizens: The primary election law expressly provides, that a majority of the legal voters of any defined political party shall choose the person by ballot it desires to stand as the party candidate. At the primary election called to be held in this ward Tuesday next, the 13th day of April, the legal voters of the Republican party will be called upon to cast their ballots and thereby name the person to fill the office oi Alderman, on account of a vacancy declared to exist.

In this and all elections, let the people choose the candidate and not the office holder and politician. The organization, so called, must not be used in the interest of any candidate prior to his nomination by the people, in other words the or ganization of office holders must not make the political slate and thereby reward the person the machine may name. The people under the primary election law must and should name the candidate and thus uphold the true party interest. I am asking for the vote of my neighbors and friends, and it is fair they should know who I am and my qualifications for the office of Alderman. In the year 1874, my residence was established in the Town of Lake, and from 1877 to the present time myself and family have resided continually in the vicinity of this ward.

My business has been conducted in this ward all the time, consisting chiefly, of the grocery and livery business, and as one of the largest owners of real estate in this ward. I am necessarily a large tax payer. Political Principles, Party Affiliations And Platform. First: I am a Republican from choice, having always affiliated and worked and voted with that party. I stand for the enforcement of just laws and the principles of self government.

Second: Should I be chosen to represent this ward as one of its aldermen, my vote in the City Council will be cast with my party whenever party principles are at stake, but. on all questions and measures in the interest and welfare of the people of this ward, my vote will be cast without regard to party. Third: The people of this ward have been taxed under the provisions of the Sanitary District Law nearly eighty million dollars to construct a drainage canal. The principal object of this law was the public health, the assurance to the people of pure healthful drinking water and an unlimited amount of it for all proper uses. Is it not time I ask to stop the cry "Boil your drinking water to ward off sickness?" Fourth: It is and was the intention of the Sanitary District Law, that if, in the construction of this great drainage canal, any water power might be Incidentally created, it would be developed, to be sold for the benefit of the tax payers of the Sanitary district.

The benefit of this act, for which the people of this and other wards have been taxed, should enable the consumer to have the direct use of this electrical current at a reasonable price. Fifth: The streets of the ward have been neglected by the general city authorities; it is only by the aid of the Citizens Improvement Associations that conditions have been somewhat improved. If elected alderman I shall insist, that this ward obtain its full share of the vehicle tax collected by the city, also other funds available for the caro of the streets; I shall prevent, if possible, the diversion of this fund for general city uses. Sixth: The duties of an alderman I fully comprehend; these duties will be performed by me if chosen to represent this ward in the City Council. All my time, when necessary, will be devoted to the actual public business of th'e ward.

Seventh: From practical experience, the undersigned is competent to understand the nature -and character of public improvements. If chosen to represent this ward it will be my duty obtain such whatever desired and law authorized, at the lowest possible cost. Respectfully yours, FRANK G. DAHLGREN. AN EYE OPENER ON HAIR GOODS.
