May we ask for your support and vote at the election next Tuesday for Cyril C.
"Ryan and Walter J. Wood. , - -
, We feel that you, with other voters of Freeport, are Interested In supporting men
for office who fearlessly, and Independently, advocate, Good Government. We be-
Hgve the Home Rule Party candidates to be such men.
It was largely through the untiring efforts of Mr. Ryan that our municipal electric
power system was saved from changing over to service by a private corporation,
which, had this pccurred, would have meant a substantial Increase In your tax bill by
reason of having to pay .for street lighting and other municipal services, which we
now receive without any-cost on our tax bills. It would also have meant a larger
charge for your home electric service.
Mr. Wood has been connected with a leading bank for many years, and is vitally
Interested in the continuance of good government In our village.
Sincerely,
HUBERT R. JOHNSON
