POLITICIANS ORGANIZED TO DEFEAT IMPROVEMENT Y Project It Not Likely to Be Brough Before People Again for . • i a Long Time. The sewerage proposition was leiiled by lit voles out of a totiil 77*1 cast. The vole stood ,'MMI lor sew- erage and »o*.i against. There was on blank vole. The vole by districts: Yes. N.

The Id): nia.loriM of the votes against sewerage win polled from tin.' Itamlall Park section where there was an organized opposi lion working not alone uualnsi I In proposition, bill against Hie Hoard u Trustees. When the foinenti-rs uf this clnndes Hue opposition, With Its heaijqiia 11 er- among the professional politician* It the Randall I'arl; -o-cilou. could uol eajgendor opposition to the sewerag proposition on purely political llUM resort was made to large-size lies a to Ihe cost to the average householder lo secure sewerage. One of these lies was thai th, as .Messments tor laterals for Ihe average house would be '\HO. Ihe falseness of Is apparent when.such a slale- I la conijiiued to thai of Hie eligl- *~';,* \staled specifically thai Ihe «t of*laterals would not exceed 11.80 per trout (00t This would make the assessment for laterals approximately !ji7ri for Ihe average home owner, and which cost would he spread over three years. \* There were a great many taxpayers desirous of liaving a sewerage system In the village who Voted against the proposition from their honest convic- tions Hint the cost WOUld be so grail | thai their la\es would he loo I vy, and which honest convictions (fare based to a great extent upon the un- derground rumors as lo , ruiOttS as sessments. There was a union of sentiment ami activity on the part of former mem hers of Hie Hoard of Trustees 1HII.II fostered opposition to the proposition not on the ground •that ihe sewer sys- tem would nol be a benetll to Hie vil- lage, or Ihal Ihe cost was excessive, hill merely because II was submitted h.v a Hoard of Trustees of which they were not nieinbers. A plain case of \sour grapes.\ and likewise of a \dog in ihe manger policy.\ Since the proposition has been de feated h.\ a vote of Ihe taxpayers, re gardless of the causes lor Its defeat. Ihe sa ir a similar proposition can not again lie submitted for a period of «ilnoty days, Whether another prop osltloii will he submitted alter the elapse of such a perloil is probl - ati,MI Health Often Dr. Rondo on hearing Ihe result of Ihe election sug- geaMd that a start should I mile Immediately on a campaign to submit another proposition at Hie end of that period, but no action was taken on the suggestion. TaV chances an- thai it will he a long tiflie hefore the propo sltloii will again he submitted.

A meeting was held Sunday afternoon ill a home In Ihe Randall Part section, hut no statements have been gl' out as lo the location of the meeting place, or Ihe plans which were out- lined for Hie campaign. It is the Intention of the leaders in this movement, to place hefore the voters a ticket, carrying as candidates men who stand for the Interest* of the people first, and wiUi whom politi- cal considerations are a minor mat- ter. It is expected Hint the Independ- ent Republicans will endorse some of the Democratic candidates, When such candidates are men whose strength is nol gained from their political affilia- tions, but as capable executives and business men. There has heen a great deal of ills- eonlelil lltliotlg the yimligel' element of Republican party. Younger men, first, last and all Hie Hun-, are Republicans, and intend to remain so, .re dissatisfied because no sppofltnnlty Is given the younger men to rise iu Hie ru,nks of the party, ihe same Clique iilinuall.v holding the reins, anil giv- ing the younger men no chance to lo effective party work. Members uf tin- ftamau Young He- .ublican Club have viewed with sus- ihion activities which they considered ivcrc indications of a very substantial leslre on the pan of the old guard In split the organization so that it would he unable lo thrftw Its whole strength behind nn.v movement or proposillon, and would thus make it i negative factor in intra-piirly inn' lers. A well known Republican worker who is doseiy in touch with the inde- pendent movement Indicated that Hie organization men who will be opposed ;ire Thomas afcWblnnoy, the assembly candidate, an Supervisors c. Wilbur Doughty and Hiram It. Smith. The possibility was Indicated that the in- lependent Republicans may endorse Kdward C Watson, iH-inociatic culidi- lale for assemblyman, ami Arthur W. lirlerly, who is being prominently mentioned as the Democratic candi- date for saparvUor. Regular Kepubll- •an candidates who come up to the re- piired standard will probably be en (lolsed. REEPORTI SPECIAL ELECTION s *|| ON WARD DIVISION GIVE A LOOK1 (iH. irive I cull for Fulton !
