character as the Board of Alder

end the Board of Aldermen are
hereby authorized and empower-
fd from time to time to designate
such sidewalks or parts of side
walks as they may elect as as
sessment districts, and to im
prove such sidewalks or parts of

a manner as it may see fit, and
assess the land abutting thereon

Immediately upon the completion

writing, a copy of which notice

mount of the assessment on hia

VICTORY AT ELECTION
The Greatest Subscilption Bargain Eveir
The conscience of the people,
in a time of grave national prob
lems, has called into being a new
pariy, born of the nation’s a-
wakened sense of justice. In
accordance with the needs of
each generation the people must
use their sovereign powers to es
tablish and main^in ^ual opp
ortunity and industrial justice,
to secure which this government
was founded, and without which
no republic can endure.—Progr
essive Platform.
The time is ripe for a genuine
progressive movement, nation
wide and justice loving, sprung
from and responsible to the peo
ple themselves, and suadered by
a great gulf from bom ot lo the
hope, k^iiefs and aspirat.ions of
the plain people, who make up
the immense majority of the rank
and file of both the old parties—
Theodore Roosevelt.
This is a new era, a new fight.
There is a new political creed,
the great creed of equal opport
unity, of a fair deal for all human
kind, of giving every child in
the race of life an equal start; in
the last analysis it is the creed
of 'humanity that is now the
creed of one of the great natio
nal parties. —Hiram W. John
son.
The root of the wrongs which
hurt the people is th^ fact that
the people's goverment has been
taken away from them. The
first purpose of the Progressive
party to make sure the rule of
the people.—Former Senator
Albert J. Beveridge.
We are here because we cannot
accept that cynical and immoral
doctrine that all in fair in polit
ics. For the party of Lincolti
and Grant, and Blaine and Gar
field, and McKinley and Roosev
elt, we have nothing but the fon
dest memory and the deepest
gratitude. But for the party
controlled by the, Pen roses, the
Barneseis, the Cranes and the
Guggenheims, we have not even
time for regrets—Henry J. Allen
of Kansas.
i am here to nominate the man
who has the courage and the
ability to lead us in this great
battle for human rights. The
greatest mission bearing upon
my heart is that before I cross
the River Styx I may see this
nation united once more.—Gen
eral John H. McDowell, of Ten
nessee.
The conditions, the times, the
great changes going on in this
counti^ demand a new i>arty.
Knowing, as I do, that the Dem
ocratic party is no freer from the
yoke of privilege than; the Re
publican party, I count it my du
ty as an American citizen to en
list under the banner of the new
party of proi^ss, and to follow
the leadership of the greatest
champion of popular rights since
Abraham Lincoln.—Judge Ben
B. Lindsey.
Measures of industrial amelior
ration, demands for social just
ice, are at last thrust into the
arena of political action. A gr^t
political party has pledged itself
to them. Because the program
will require a leader of invincible
courage, of open mind, of demo
cratic sympathies, one endowed
with power to interpret the com
mon man and to identify himself
with the common lot, I heartily
second the nomination of Theo
dore Roosevelt. — Jae Addams.
This great gathering owes its
being to almighty protest by the
American people against those
who have poisoned the wells of
democracy. • The platform is the
guarantt-e of the genuineness of
our democracy. It fortifies ev
ery theory of government which
has ever given strength to the
American conimon wealth. In
the virtue of our cause we have
sterling faith. In the vitality of
its principles we believe as we
do in the inherent honor of A*
mericn manhood.—William A.
Prendergast.
I add the loyal voice of the
southern Confederacy to the gen?
eral acclaim. The Republican
party was a factional party. It
existed in the south only for the
purpose of keeping up the pre^
judices between the north and
the south. The Republican par
ty alone has prevented the real
social and political union of the
south and the north.—Colonel T.
P. Lloyd, of Florida.
Tolfedo, 0., Aug. 8.—Colonel
Roosevelt is returning to Oyster
Bay tremendously pleased, witu
the snap and swing with which
the Progressive convention went
Ihrough.
It has been a great week, and
the colonel takes particular saus-
faction in the general opinion
that the showing made at Chi
cago by his followers has surprlis-
ed and frightened the leaders of
the two old parties.
“I think we have them wor
ried,” he chuckled on the troiu
speeding east. Mr. Roosevelt
said that when he left the Repub
lican party and the call was is
sued for the Progressive conven
tion most of the Republican and
Deinocratic leaders laughed at
the idea that the neW psu*ty could
gather a following sufficient to
hold a real convention. At first,
he said, they had^^redlqted that
there would be no convention at
all, and then that it would be a
small, side-street affair. The
evente of the week have been an
eyeopener to his opponent. .
Tlie Progressive party’s candi
date for prest. had a big crowd
of Chicago and convention folk
to see him off,' He posed for the
photographers from the , end oi
the train and beat time to the
clieers with his feet.
At Elkhart, Ind., where the
train halted a few moments,
there was a large gathering, in
cluding many women waving the
red bandana in greetingg lo Colo
nel koosevelt. There were
shouts, "Make a speech, Teddy!”
The colonel shouted back:
. “Give me a chance,” But just
as he started to speak a switch
ing en>.me kicked into the train,
and tht; nuise of coupling on the
diner uruwned his voice. He
tried agt in getting as (ar as “my
friends,” when several small
boys clambered up on the car,
and he stopped to shake hands.
“W'hy shake hftnds with child
ren? Hfi t at me voters, ”
yeiitd a man.
The coluiiei grabbed a young
ster’s fist and called back:
“Why, the little mooses will
grow and be big mooses.”
There was a yell of delight
from the crowd, and the train
pulled out.
On the train tonight Mr
Boosevelt was asked what he
thought of Governor Wilson’s
speech of acceptance. He ref us
ed to comment upon it, saying
that he had not had time to go
through it carefully. He was
more interested just then in
news that the senate had
