Show The Platforml 1 ! Adopted by the Republican Re-publican City Con- ! ' vention. j PTATFOU-M. . ' ' ' j ' We re-attirm the principles of ! Republicanism, and commend to : .the voters of Logan City the i wise' and statesman-like policies j of the National and State Kepub- j lican administrations. 2. We deplore the death of . President McKinley, and realize that in his loss the Republican ; 'party has lost a magnificent leader, and the nation a loyal: and patriotic chief executi ve.. j i ' We are in favor of an economical, eco-nomical, but progressive, up-to date and business-like administration adminis-tration of municipal affairs. 4. We favor the ownership of 'public utilities, and are in favor of a .municipal electric light 'plant' when the finances of 'the city will permit, ! or the people vote to bond the fm- 1-l.nt. l-inrnnse Ar.d in this connection we call attention to the fact that it is nlr by-bonding by-bonding the city that a plant can be built at the present time i I li. We are in favor of build- j ins a city hall and save the pay -; i me'nt of rent to private parties, j We would not be satisfied with i simplv creating the fund, i 6 We denounce as hypocriti--cal and misleading the plank in the Democratic platform relating relat-ing to municipal improvements 'in the way of cement side-walks 'and the ' extension of water 1 mains. Not one dollar ojcity i funds has been expeiriew.' this s ' direction, but the improvements mentioned have been paid tor by 1 the abutting property owners.
