Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 243, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 October 1920 — COAL! COAL! COAL! THAT’S WHAT WE WANT, DON’T YOU? [ARTICLE]

COAL! COAL! COAL! THAT’S WHAT WE WANT, DON’T YOU?

This is not a party issue at home with the Rensselaer people.** It has become necessary as citizens of Rensselaer to put our shoulders to the wheel, and do something that will bring results. And as the City Council were selected by you as citizens of Rensselaer, why then hesitate to appeal to them for help ■ *s they would be in a position to ! put it up to the coal companies in such a way, and by getting it in such large quantities that the companies would be glad for the. city’s business. There could be a system adopted, which would be perfectly right and lawful, no doubt. This is not a time, to' be technical with the law, but winter is facing us and it is time for discovering some means of procuring our coal at the right pripe. This is no time for people to carry out grudges and get even with one another, but it is time that we all work for one aim and it would seem that anyone with good reason would say if there is a better way than my. way, go to [t. On Monday the Council will meet and the petition will be presented to them which now has nearly 400 signers,, who are men voters of the city, and’ won’t you* make it your duty to be present when the petition is presented, and hear the news .which we hope wilr be gratifying and will again bring joy, peace and comfort to our homes, and that we will continue to think as we always -have, that we have one of the best cities in the land, and citizens who are united with one purpose, and one aim in unity in time of need and trouble?
