Is Rampart here because of the
miner, or is the miuer here because
of Rampart? .Do you, as a busi
ness man, expect your customers
to please you, or are , you making
an effort to please your customers?
The most ardent advocate for
incorporation must-admit that the
majority of our residents are strong
ly opposed to it. A peculiar inci
dent, and one. which has been gen
erally commented upon, is that the
men who are fathering the scheme
have been residents of Rampart
barely a year. The old-school Ram
par ter is conservative; he likes, to
know where the money is coming
from to pay the bills before;be in
curs indebtedness. He may be a
little slow, in the eyes of. these
gentlemen; but he is safe.

The- miner, who, while living
mostly on . the creeks, at the same
time owns a .cabin in town, is. ex
pected—nay, it is his duty—to cast
his vote next month for or,against
incorporation. If you—the miner
referred to—-thipk , that Rampart
needs a mayor and seven council
men and are willing to contribute
y ur share of the taxation tieces
sary to support‘these officers, it is
your duty as an American citizen
to come in and vote for vour senti

these officei s are not necessary to

your welfare it is doubly your duty
to \ ole against it.

Sam Heeter: I am opposed to
the incorporation of a small camp
like Rampart. The only or.es to
be benefited by it will be the office
holders. The miners, business men
