Will he wldttetl by a good majority. Voters of Decatur should t emember lilat ttaa council they elec: at this I'm* mil serve for four years and mere are many important things to be disposed of during that time, including the building of a new school house, it Is highly necesaary that the public affairs be in charge of men who can do things. That’s what you would have with Charles Christen as mayor, Joseph McFarland, treasurer: Hubert DeVoss, clerk, and Linn, Hurst, Kirsch, Martin and Baumgartner, councilmen. They are competent men and deserving of your support. Do a little hustling in their behalf and you will never regret it. We do not believe in this stay-at-home campaign and we do rot believe any faction can afford to work along such a line. Every voter has the right of suffrage and should use it. He owes it to himself and his community to assist in tlie selection of the men who will fill the offices. This is not a local option election and we do not believe that either side can gain ad vantage that will lie lasting by staying away from the polls. Vote and vote for the men you believe will tnake the best officials—and if you do v.e have faith in the democratic can didates. | A vote for Charles Christen is a vote for a continuance of the splendid financial conditions of the city. I a vote for four years of progressivei ness, a vote for a reduced tax rate, a I vote for n business administration, a : a vote the right way. That he may 'do the things he believes in you ■ should give him a council that agrees with him and not one that contradicta : him In everything he tries to do. Vote it he democratic city ticket and you ' vote for the men who want to aid the I city and every man. woman and child I who lives in it.

The people of Decatur do not want u man on tlie council or in any other official position who knocks whether there is anything to object to or no*. '.Tiere arc time* of course when the kirker is In favor, but just the same : he b a menace to a community. The easiest thing in the world is always to I fnd fault. What you want is a sound ‘ business tnan. one who will think and ' tet and vote in the manner that he believes is the best for those he rep- , tesents. not Ute man who will close his eyes and vote in order to get even with some imaginary enemy. The Herald is jubilant over the fact that no one connected with the Demo I < rat Is likely to be a member of the i returning board for the city elcctiou. i and that's true- we have no candi dates for the job. but we are not bar- ! red under the law, while It I* the ruling of the attorney-general that only 1 democrats and progressives shall serve on the election board*, likewise very probably barring any Herald representative. The republicans can figure on iw i votes they didn't get last fall. Ti c bull moosers say that JaU AU waa one of their committeemen and that John Ix-nhurt swore solemnly that hwas done with the republi'an party forever and ever. Some men juit simply < rave honor* while others have

it thrust upon them. The Herald's boast that the republican candidates belong to the ‘‘can ana •vlll” bunch makes a fellow feel like asking “what and when.” at least about several of them. FOR COMMISSIONER. You are authorized to announce that I will be a candidate for county commissioner for the Firsi district, subject to the decision of the democratic primary.

He is a graduate of the Ohio State university, at Columbus, Ohio, nnd is a very capable man. ■ — —— — They Resolute (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) this time, that the principles and policies of government by party are not involved in the pending municipal campaign either directly or remotely. We believe and affirm that there are great moral issues at stake, issues which are non-political. non-partisan and issue* of vital concern to all. \\ e therefore declare that it is the sense of this convention that the progressive party of Decatur does not at this • line, place a full ticket in nomination. but work for the local issues, affecting every citizen of Decatur.” (hi motion the convention then decided not to put any ticket in the held except a candidate for council rian in the first ward. The representatives Os that ward were asked to select a candidate and report at once, which they did. reporting the nomination of Albert W. Gerard, as a candidate for councilman, Tlie report was approved and the convention adopted the "bull moose' as the patty device to lie placed at the head of tlie ticket over the name of the candidate and *aid ticket to be headed with the words “progressive ticket." - ■■■■■ THIRTY-ONE PACKARDS FOR MUSIC SCHOOL.
