These statements are made for election purposes to attempt to win votes for REGIS- TER, THOMPSON and CLIFFORD, and are absolutely false and misleading and a villifica- tion of the fair name of our beautiful city. The financial affairs of the City of Bismarck are in better condition today than they have been for years. The average mill levy for city purposes of all cities of 1,500 and over in North Dakota for 1919 was 13.44 mills. The mill levy for the city of Bismarck for the same vyear was 11.68 mills. e , The mill levy for the City of Bismarck was 2 mills below the average for cities in North Dakota in that year. Again we warn you electors of the City of Bismarck to pay no attention to last minute slanders, campaign lies and mud-slinging of the friends, stockholders and paid agents of the Water Company. We respectfully solicit your support and vote for A. P. LENHART for President and C. BERTSCH, Jr., and C. W. HENZLER for City Commissioners at the City Election to be held tomorrow. These candidates stand for better and cheaper water, for ample fire protection, for a city owned water plant, and for a safe, sane and economic adminis- tration of city affairs and for a progressive a :d steady municipal growth. x \ CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
