Citizens of New Toulouse,
The Regular Alliance Organization has hesitated at no act, however detrimental to the public welfare, to strengthen its hold and perpetuate its existence. Should it be able to maintain its grasp, it will plunge the city into greater disorder and disgrace, hopelessly undermine the foundations of public prosperity, and finally destroy the liberties of the people.
The impending mayoral election represents a glint of hope, as many of us have broken with Mr. Godenot and the Alliance regulars and formed an organization to oppose the shameful status quo.
The Citizens’ League will work for an efficient administration of public affairs. We will see that taxes are honestly expended, that the proper measures are taken to advance the public school system, that the police force is increased, and that the streets are kept clean and good drainage is provided. We will eliminate from the city payrolls the political loafers who draw salaries for which they do not work, thus depriving honest men of the opportunity to earn an honest living.
Look for the announcement of our mayoral candidate later this month.
