There are many important ques-

tions to be decided at the

ELECTION

Tuesday, Nov. 6th

Nine amendments to the char-
ter; two propositions ; the ques-
tion of annexation of territory of
Hamtramck, and the election of
the Charter Commission will all
be submitted at this time. The
propositions you will vote on in-
clude the following:

Do you favor a general revision of
the charter?

Do you favor a change in the form
of government so as to provide for
the election, on a non-partisan bal-
lot, of a small. council elected from
the city at large, instead of a coun-
cil composed of aldermen elected
from the different wards of the city?

CHARTER AMENDMENTS

As amendments to the charter
you will also vote on the follow-
ing questions :

Shall the Public Lighting Commis-
sion engage in the sale of electric-
ity for commercial lighting or
power?

Do you favor increasing the pen-
sion of widows and children of de-
ceased firemen from $25.00 to $50.00
per month?

Shall there be one alderman from
each ward at a salary of $2,000 per
year, instead of two at the present
salary?

Do you favor a bridge to Belle
Isle, bonding the city not to exceed
$3,000,000.00?

Do you favor empowering the
council to provide for the laying out
and planting of trees?

Shall the Common Council be au-
thorized to provide for the erection
of breakwaters, sea walls, etc?

Do you favor dividing the time for
the collection of taxes so that prop-
erty owners on the east side may
pay in the month of July and on the
west side in the month of August,
without interest?

Shall a general surplus fund be
created to which shall be credited
all receipts from whatever source to
be used for contingencies and re-
duction of taxes?

Shall the Common Council pro-
vide by ordinance for licensing and
regulation of private detectives?

NON-PARTISAN CHARTER
COMMISSION

In accordance with law the voters will

choose, November 6th, the charter com-
mission of nine members to revise the
charter. If the proposition
"Do you favor a general revision of
the charter?"
is carried, these commissioners will im-
mediately proceed, with their authorized
duties. If this proposition does not carry,
there will be no duties for them to per-
form.

Transfers

at the last session of the legislature,
registration closed October 16th. An-
nouncement of this was made in previous
advertisements. There can be no further

DEMOCRACY
vs.
AUTOCRACY

All government, whether auto-
cratic or demociatic, is OF the
people. Any government, may
be, but a democracy MUST be,
FOR the people. Only a demo-
cracy, however, is BY the people.
No government can be demo-
cratic without extending to all
elements in the community the
right of representation, and since
a nine-man Council is incompat-
ible with our democratic princi-
ples and best American traditions
it should go down to deserved de-
feat on November 6th.

The rich and powerful can well
take care of themselves under any
circumstance.

The poor and weak are in need of
protection, always. This protec-
tion can come to them only
through representatives who are
in sympathy with their cause and
willing to bring to them the
much-needed relief.

No candidate of the common peo-
ple can afford the extravagance of
a city-wide campaign, and with-
out the necessary newspaper pub-
licity he will never be able to win
a seat in a Council elected at
large, instead of from wards. The
scheme is a conspiracy to deprive
the common people from all rep-
resentation in the affairs of this
city.

Should this nefarious scheme
succeed at the polls we will be
ruled by newspaper idols and cor-
poration tools.

VOTE "NO" ON THE REVI-
SION OF THE CITY CHAR-
TER AND THE NINE-MAN
UNDEMOCRATIC COUNCIL.
If democracy is worth fighting
for in Europe it is worth voting
for in Detroit, and just as patri-
otic. •

DON'T BE A "SLACKER"
ON TUESDAY, NOV. 6th.

VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY
IN GOVERNMENT.
