THE TICKET The democratic party presents for your consideration today a ticket of splendid men, well qualified for the positions to which they aspire at the the head of the government of the municipality and ask your support. It is a difficult matter to induce men who have the ability to serve in these places to sacrifice the time necessary, and we feel that the party is to be congratulated on the ticket chosen at Tuesday’s primary. Every man thereon is a citizen, whoseheartfelt desire is to aid this community and whose only wish is to serve so that those matters which come before them will be disposed of to the best advantage. This takes time and work and study and these mn, busy as they all are with their own affairs are willing to do this. Therefore, in offering this ticket to the voters of Decatur we take pride, confident in the belief that they will be elected and will serve in such a manner that every citizen will en dorse their work. It is perhaps useless to tell you who know these men as well as we do of their good quii’ities but a word about each, that you may be reminded, may not be amiss. Charles N. Christen, the nominee for mayor, is perhaps the best qualified man in Decatur for the job. A contractor and a good one. he is an expert at mathematics, knows the values of those articles which the city must buy, knows how and when to do thinE* For more than seven years he has served as the chairman of the

finance committee and during that time has so managed affairs that this city which a few years ago had absolutely no credit is now below the two per cent limit, ovey *IOO,OOO of the city's indebtedness having been paid under his direction. He is careful, strictly honest, has a backbone and a diosire to do the things that he feels should be done. In other words he is honest with himself. He Is a big man for the job and the people of Decatur may feel that he will make an efficient mayor. For city clerk, Huber DeVoss has proven by four years of service that he is competent, knows how to meet and greet and treat the public. You take no chances on him, for he has proven his worth. For treasurer, Joe McFarland is competent and while he has never served in public office, his connection with various boards and an investigation of the work he has done will convince any one that he will prove the right man in the right place. The men nominated for the council are business men, broad and big and worthy. They know how to do things and they want to. What more could you ask? It is a ticket that every man can vote for and we believe that every ; one will be elected. The odds are that in a majority of the cities of Indiana the democrats will elect their city tickets this fail. Just at the present time the average democrat is perfectly happy. He is pointing with pride to the fine work being done by a democratic president.! a democratic senate and a democrat., house in Washington. It is the first; real -good opportunity representatives ' of the democratic party have had dur-! ing the time of the present generation i to show what hey could do. They. have had officers in power, but never in more than half a century have they i had the entin? machinery of the government in their hands until the inauguration of President Wilson. He is a man of w hom they are all proud, and while it is not essentially binding on a democrat to stick to his party in local affairs, they are mindful of the fact that there are future elections to I be held and more work to be accom-

plished by the democratic party in I the state and nation, and to win future battles they must keep their lines drawn and heir men in line, and for I that reas'on, where democratic candidates are at all acceptable there will be little breaking over the traces. On the other hand the republican party has not recovered from the split engineered by Colonel Roosevelt last cam paign, and in many cities the split continues to exist to the extent that there are two tickets as well as two factions, while in others there is but one ticket and two factions. The conditions, therefore, are such as to warrant the guess that many municipal victories will be scored in November by the Democrats of Indiana.— Columbia City Post. McFarland Wins By One (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) men of Decatur. He has lived here for many years and Is a splendid citizen. with many strong friends. He is well qualified for the place and will prove an efficient public officer, a strong candidate. and will add I strength to the ticket. The candidates for council, Fr d Linn, James Hurst, Peter Kirsch. Ja cob Martin and L. L. Baumgartner, are all men of sterling business qualities, capable of serving the city and they will do so during the next four years. All are men of experience. Mr Linn and Mr. Hurst being contractors Mr. Martin is a business man and hat served nearly eight years on the coun eil with credit; Mr. Kirsch is a manufacturer and some years ago served on the council; Mr. Baumgartner was | formerly county surveyor and is at i present deputy clerk, having , had much experience that should i make him a valuable man on the j council. It is a splendid ticket of I splendid men and th,* citizens of Deca 1 tur should feel elated over their selection. ■ —■ oCOURT HOUSE NEWS.
