Charles Christen was chairman of the finance committee during all that time. He knows how to conduct the affairs of the city and as mayor would wield an influence that would prove beneficial to every citizen and resident. Some of* the opposition Is. greatly worried over the political outlook and being unuable to criticize the spier, did men who have been nominated by the democrats insist on saying that it is a machine-picked ticket. Just how j this could be true In a primary where i every one was given an opportunity to | become a candidate and where the: people voted their own sentiments, we can’t explain, but we confess that there are a lot of things about politics that we don't know and we have an idea that the little bunch of republicans who have met in a little two-by--four hall for the past forty years and named a ticket, may be experts at the game. If so, would that they mind telling just where the “frame-up" is? At least It Is something to admit that the ticket is an exceptionally strong ■ one, and that, every one does. Democrats, republicans, independ-i eats and bull moosers, can without, tear or trembling support the splendid ticket nominated by the democrats at Tuesday’s primary, it is a ticket of j men who are progressive yet conser- j vative. who realize the needs of the, city, who live here and pay taxes.;

p Their interests are your interests and •| every citizen and every taxpayer in Decatur may safely trust his affairs = with such men as Charles Christen, Y Fred Linn, Peter Kirlch, James Hurst, Baumgartner and Jacob Martin. If you should search the city over with a tine tooth comb you could not select a better bunch of men to 1 whom to give the power which acconif panies their offices. Not a breath can j be said against them morally, and I each is known for his business abilJ ity. They are the kind of men you would turn your business over to without a worry. They are big men for 1 the jobs and every citizen of Decatur . should realize that fact. i . The republican organ bristles up j nerve enough to make the startling * statement that “The success of the ticket gives no promise of lessened municipal taxes or of any change in ' local affairs in the way of public expenditures.” As to there being any change those who have investigate I for themselves will not have to be informed, for they realize something of the work that has been done by the ; present council. Perhaps some of the newer arrivals in Decatur do not know the present council, guided by Charles N. Christen as chairman of the fi- . nance committee, have during the past | seven years, paid off more ’han SIOO,- ; 000 of the city debt and that now for the first time in many years, the city debt is below the two per cent limit. No there will be no change in the management of the city’s affairs, and the people want none. They are content tfhat men who have proven effijefent and honest should continue to have power and they are content with a council of men who will follow out the work of the, two last city councils. As to the statement that the I election of these men does not mean I a change in the city tax, any jierson who makes it, either does not know or is purposely mis stating the facts. The ■ democratic councils of the past eight years have paid off the debt, a large part of which was made by a repubI lican council, and they have done it , on a tax as small as was imposed before they took up the reins of cit;

Ml! I' ■» - 111 I■IIIIIMII ■ I I II II 1 government. The debt has been disi posed of and the tax will necessarily s be reduced in the immediate future. , The people know these facts and will i support the men who have been nom- ) inated by the democrats at the November election, thus indorsing the 1 years of labor they have performed. i.. _ - NOTIC EO DISSOLUTION. i ’ I, L.
