We call attention to the address of Mr.
.T. Gist to the citizens of El Paso- It
speaks for him—It deserves a careful pe-
rusal at your huids, lu this connection
we desire to say that the Times only
seeks to subserve the Lest interests of El
Paso and will be found advocating meas-
ures, not men. Bain# pronounced in
views, we shall not hesitate to speak
them out when occasion arises. As we
see it, this is h contest as to whether
the city shall cling to the old
policy which has hampered her
growth in the past, or shall overturn this
policy and try one which promises a pro-
gressive and a prosperous future. Look-
ing at the situation thus, we oppose the
men who were considered the representa-
tives of that policy which ha* 'controlled
lit county and city affairs in the past.
We oppose these not as individuals, hut
as representatives of the policy and will
do so as long as we believe that policy
detrimental to the best interests of this
city-
TOTUK VOTERS ok THE CITY ol El.
paso.
Having been solicited by numerous J
friends, I have determined to announce
myself a.« an iiidenenneut candidate for i
mayor. To friends who have kindly of-
fered to circulate petitions pledging the
petitioners to my support 1 will say, with
due deference to their wishes, I have
thought it wise to decline such offers,
believing that no one can consistently
pledge himself to support any candidate
without knowing what the position of
such candidate is on matters and issues
pertaining to the interest of the city.
If it shall be my fortune to be elected.
1 shall enter upon the duties of the ottlce
with an earnest determination to dis-
charge every duty faithfully and well.
Law and order must be maintained, and
any attempt by any person or persons to
terrorize the cit'zens or officers shall be
punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I shall be actively alive to every move-
ment that shall have for its object the
welfare of the citizens, the building up of
trade or the growth and prosperity of the
city. 1 shall open up at police headquar-
ters a mayor's office that shall be repre-
sented during business hours by the
proper city official,so that persons having
business with the city can be accom-
modated certainly and with dispatch. It
shall be my purpose to alter, amend or
create laws that shall make it the duty of
every officer handling the city revenues
to keep a full, open and plain account
with all the checks that can be applied; so
that, any errors may be detected without
a long, intricate search, and to give a
full and concise exhibit, at least every
quarter, of all receipts and disburse
ments, in language so clear, and form so
plain, that all may understand. The
educational interests of El Paso, with
proper encouragement, may be made un-
llmitable. Institutions of learnine of
Yarious kinds may, in the near future,
be established with prolit to the projec-
tors. A first-class library ought to be
established and maintained. The pres-
ent school board deserves great credit for
the most efficient uianncj in which they
have discharged their duties; in the face
of difficulties almost uusiirmountable
they have performed wonders, and uo
friend of education can say e!«e than well
done, good and faithful servants. In all
things pertaining to the educational in-
terest, the school board and all workers
•hall have my willing and earn»st co-op-
eratiou. The present efficient fire de-
partment, so necessary to the safety and
security against the fiend, must
•ot be allowed to suffer or de-
cline for the want of the necessa-
ry encouragement. I pledge myself to
ibe boys individually, that the personal
sacrifice that each one must make to b e
»n active worker, (wirhout pay), shall
i"*eeife proper recognition at my hands.
Many of the streets and allevs remain
closed^ which greatl? mars the beauty,
*nd obstructs the convenience of the city,
in a growing city where property is oa
'.he increase, this lamentable condition
cannot safely be allowed to continue.
Lat»or ie the right arm »l' prosperity,
And without it nothing cap ta soue wa
believe in home manufacture, hoine pro-
duction and home labor; we therefore
witness with the di-npproval that local
pride begets,tiie disposition of some of our
contractors to go to lar distant points for
mechanics when we have plenty ol skill-
ed workmen at home.
A canal f>>r the purpose of irrigation,
ot Miffleient capacity to accommodate the
vast tract of fertile lands below the city,
as well as to furnish plenty of water to
all pans of the city, is perhaps the most
immediate necessity, and ought to en-
gage the earnest consideration of the
city government, as well as every citi-
zen. The city ought to be kept in a
first-class condition, both as to sewer-
age. and surface drainage. I am glad
to note the favorable consideration of
this question by the present council.
lu tiie selection of the council and
mayor for the incoming administration
the people ought to demand a pledge of
two years of earnest and faithful work.
It is not claimed that all of the above
projects can or will secure material aid
from the city, but there is a ya*t differ-
ence between a live, active policy and
one of indifference.
For the want of space I submit this
very incomplete brief, trusting to the op-
portunities that may be offered during
the campaign to fully express my views
on the numerous questions of interest.
1 shall be untrammeled by any party or
cliques. Having no excessive friends or
virulent enemies, I will not have the for-
mer to accommodate or the latter to con-
ciliate.
I shall enter upon the duties, if elected,
determined to give my whole time, if it
shall be needed, to the faithful perform-
ance of the same.
With feelings of sensitive thankfulness
to my friends, I remain your most obe-
dient servant. J. Gist.
