TOM BOLI, Secretary
This is the platform of the Democratic Candidates,
upon which they ask the vote and support of the
electors of the City^of Hamilton, at the election,
Tuesday, November 3,1925.
We recognize the necessity of giving to the city
our best efforts to solve the many problems of vital
interest to every citizen and taxpayer, with which
we will have to deal, as officials, if elected. We also
recognize that the affairs of the city cannot be suc
cessfully administered by any one individual, no mat
ter what his or her official position, and that it is
necessary to have the co-operation of all depart
ments and all officers of the city government and the
confidence of the people if successful administration
is to be accomplished.
We also recognize the right of the people to be
advised of the attitude of the candidates seeking
election, on the problems with which they will be
confronted as officials, if elected, and so we pledge
ourselves to the following platform.
Recognizing the necessity for good and efficient
administration of the city's affairs, the candidates
on the Democratic ticket, if elected, pledge the peo
ple that they will unite and co-operate in promoting
efficient, economical government, free from politics,
and free from the dictation of any politician or group
of politicians. Appointments shall be made only of
such men and women as are capable, honest and
willing to perform the duties of their respective posi
tions, unhampered and without fear or favor.
Two questions are outstanding in their importance
to all the people—GAS and ELECTRICITY. Effi
cient service and low price to the consumer should
be the determining factor. The gas and electric
properties belong to the people and we consider them
competent to determine for themselves what shall be
done—so much so, that what the people solemnly
have declared, or may declare, by their votes, we will
religiously follow. From this there will be no devia
tion, no side-stepping. There is no candidate on the
Democratic ticket bound in any way to any corpora
tion or person, seeking public favors in these mat
ters—we are not bound and gagged or committed
to any proposition as attorney, agent, or employee.
We are free to act without restraint to carry out
the wishes of the people, and to this end we solemnly
pledge ourselves to devote every effort to do as you
declare. The law provides a method for all citizens
to make their wishes known, to legislate for them
selves by initiative or referendum election. What
the people vote to do, we will do without reservation/
to the best of our ability. It makes no difference
what the opinion of the individual office-holder ot
candidate may be, the people will and should decide
these questions themselves, and the officials are not
only morally but legally bound to execute and carry
out the decision of the people.

The garbage and refuse collection and disposal
shall be regular, thorough and sanitary, and in such
a manner as to eliminate the open dump and the
resultant obnoxious odors, to which the entire com
munity has been subjected.
The many miles of streets of our city shall be
cleaned and kept in sanitary condition, so that they
will no longer be unsightly and a breeding place for
disease improvements of streets and sewers shall
be made where needed and demanded by the resi
dents, and the further improvement by the extension
of gas, water and electricity for the convenience of
the residents of the city shall be made wherever con
ditions warrant.
The Police and Fire Departments shall be in com
petent hands, free from politics and politicians, and
promotions therein to be by merit and fitness only.
The law must be respected and enforced by all
officers and employees of the city under penalty of
removal, but the methods of enforcement should bei
tempered with intelligence, having due regard and
respect for the rights of our citizejjs and the sanc
tity of their homes.
The Health Department is one of the most impor
tant branches of city government and we pledge our
selves to remove the administration of this depart
ment from politics and to make no appointments
therein, except with the approval and recommenda
tion of the Medical Society of the City of Hamilton,
believing that our physicians and surgeons are com
petent, public spirited citizens, vitally interested in
the health of the people of the community, and will
ing to give their time and assistance in carrying on
this very important work.
Parks and playgrounds for the children and adults
afford the means of enjoying clean, wholesome, out
of-door exercise and recreation, and are essential to
the well being of our entire citizenship, as well as
to the beautification of the city, and we pledge our
selves to support a proper program for the enlarge
ment and improvement of our park and playground
system.
Taxes, like death, are certain. Unfortunately, we
cannot have orderly government without cost, which
necessarily means taxation but the affairs of gov
ernment can be conducted yrithout waste and the
squandering of public funds, and we pledge ourselves
to use every effort to reduce the taxes of the already
over-burdened taxpayers, consistent with the rendi
tion of public service.
With this pledge on the part of the entire Demo
cratic ticket, your vote and support is solicited.
