In order to refresh your memory before the November 3 general election, we are printing a condensation of the positions held by the democratic and republican aldermanic candidates as reported in the August issue of The Paper.

Originally published in The Paper, October 1970.
Democrat — Tom S.
The community is invited to the New Democratic Coalition's answer to $100 a plate political dinners — a $1.25 'giant bean feed.'
The housing code should be enforced although where there is need for a loan, this money should be made available for improvement of this property.
We must have a complete restructuring of the building and housing code enforcement program to include new programs and ideas.
This answer concerns primarily the 28th Ward.
I feel very strongly that the state should finance at least fifty percent for public schools; increase corporate tax, pari-mutual betting, sale of alcholic beverage on Sundays, a tax on our natural resources such as lead and copper.
I am for an amendment to the Constitution to permit horse racing and pari-mutual betting, only if the revenue from this source to the State of Missouri, is earmarked for education, and only if a fair share of all education funds are allocated for non-public schools.
The public school system is the backbone of the country.
ALDERMEN 28TH WARD Democrats: Larry Costello (incumbant), John Roach, William Smith Republicans: William Franklin, Ed Walsh STATE REPRESENTATIVES 72ND DISTRICT Democrats: Frank R.
Of all the posts to be filled in the coming elections, the one that will have the most direct effect on our area is that of Alderman.
