McFarland For Counciimen-at-La-ga JACOB MARTIN L. L. BAUMGARTNER For Councilman. First Ward H. FRED LINN For Councilman. Second Ward JAMES HURST For Councilman. Third Ward PPETER KIRSCH Don't let them string you with any partisan dope. Remember that they

t re playing political tricks wherever | possible, it is shown in the fact fori councilman at large the republicans nominated but one candidate, in order that they might cross fire. Charles Christen is a man, eveiy Inch of him. He has demonstrated it in the past as chairman of the finance committee of the city council t iid he will continue to prove it as i mayor of the city. He is a live wire, i ■me ofthe men who does things. Vote for hint. Elect him and you will never regret it. Give him a council of men ■who are with him and they will make progress during the next four years. About the only objection the Her aid makes to the democratic ticket is that it was named by a ring. Not: a word about the democratic admini-- 1 tratiou of the past eight years, not a word against a single one of the can-' •a.dates or their ability, and that after they know that the ticket was named at an open primary while the one they 1 tire supporting was made at n convention of fifty-two voters. It's so ridicvioua that we don't blame the people for laughing. John Lenhart is passing out cards which announce that he is a candidate on the republican ticket sot council-. man at large, and still we have it from one who was recently one of the in , side council of the g. o. p. that only a i few short months ago. he made the bold. broad statement that he was done with the republican party for-v er. Strange how a man will sometimes change liis mind suddenly >o did Jake Atz. the progressive committeeman. Have you carefully studied the' lames of the men on thedento*ratic ticket for couneilmen in Decatur? f jou have we believe you will agri that It is a bunch of strong men for the places. Fred Linn is « contractor, who has lived here his life tim*-. He Is capable, thoroughly hones*. knows the ins and outs of btwlnos* 1

and will prove valuable. James Hun t is a brick mason and contractor, wl o has fought his way up from a poori lad, has always labored with the laboring men. is lirtn in the things he believes in, 'anil will always vote for Ihe best Interests of those he represents. Peter Kirsch is onq of the most .■.ireful manufacturers In the city, square as a die. active in favor of those things which will help the most. Jacob Martin has been a successful i business man'ever since we can remember. He has served lor seven | years on the council and l.e has alI ways voted as he believed right. He is not seeking office tor any reason but to aid his community. Lee Baumgart ner lias served the public long enough for you to know that lie is able, clean and worthy. He will make a splendid, conscientious councilman. Take them singly or collectively, and you can not 1 elp but endorse them. Vote for these I men. The republican organ accuses us of personally attacking Wes Peteron and Jake Atz in our editorials and j nothing could be further from the ■ truth. Wiiy. you know, under the I present laws, one dare not go very tar in such matters. Os course it has : been suggested that theticket is rather a peculiar one to place under the

republican emblem, and it is not to be wondered at that a number of th* laithful prefer voting the straight democratic ticket than this medley ot bull moosers. etc., but then perhaps no one else cared to make the sacri fice. No. we have not nor do we intend to attack any person, in fact we don't feel it necessary. As stated by the Herald, the men are well known The city republican ticket grows in favor every day. it is the ticket of the people, not of a i ing of office holders. There are no candidates upon it who have been hanging upon the public teat for eight years. —The Herald. No? Well. Mr. Atz has served fovr years and seems to like it; Mr. Peterson would have been on the council yet if lie could have had his way and nad not Isaac Chronister showed him the way to retirement twice succes sively; Mr. Hite was the township trustee four years: Mr. Frit zinger was a candidate four years ago. Cues* you haven't much on anybod. when it eomes to rings. FOR COMMISSIONER. You are authorized to announce that I will be a candidate for county com mfssiouer for the First district, subject to the derision of the democratic primary. FRED THIEME.
