FRED LINN For Councilman, Second Ward JAMES HURST For Councilman, Third Ward PPETER KIRSCH — —l> • •The love feast of the bull moosersj and republicans will be about as lov-i inj- as a Decatur vs. Uluffton ball game. The election of Charles Christen means a business administration, one that will benefit every voter and every’ taxpayer in the city. He will carefully look after every interest of ,the city end he deserves and should have your support. The Herald is now running Wes j Peterson for council in the third ward,, and its quite likely he will do about as well there as he will in the first where he lived when lie established:

i that reputation for a spirit of "Can I and will," of which they have talked '' much. ■ Voters of Decatur. You are invited to attend the meeting of the democrats at headquarters this evening. : Come up and hear the issues discussed. It will help you to make up your ; mind as to how you ought to vote. If the republicans expect to re-enllst 1 all the bull moosers by placing them on their ticket, they will also be liar! i pressed. They may run out of places | and then again they may now and then run across a fellow who was in ! earnest last year and who has actual- ’ ly dissolved partnership with the old party. John Lenhart is busy passing out tliosc cards and seems really anxious to establish himself in the ranks of the ig. o. p. As yet we have not heard what caused him to be so dissatisfied last fall, but no doubt there was some good reason that made him declare that lie was done with the republican party forever. Jacob Martin lias been in business in Decatur a good many yeats and he i lias always been a successful business man. He lias a record on the council j mat any man could well feel proud of. j He is exactly the kind of -\ man yon want on the council. LL. llaumgart- j l't-r has proven liis capabilities as a j county surveyor, as deputy clerk, as j a general business man. These two j men are candidates for councilnien at j large. Vote for them. The only argument that Jake Atz is putting up is that he is better known : ; than Joe McFarland, and that's whj | you ought to vote for him. It’s a fool isb and silly reason, but at that it' ; ! J about as good as any of the reasons why you should vote against any of

the democratic ticket. From top to bottom, the ticket is composed of worthy and capable men. They deserve your support and we believe they will get seventy-five per cent of the votes in Decatur. A change in the city administration cannot possibly he for the worst. —Herald. There are those who in recalling some of the past republican administrations, when taxes were high and the city debt kepi getting higher, who doubt the above very seriously, in fact they know It could he much worse. A city as good as Decatur, with Iter l.tgii iiuaueiul standing, her splendid improvements, her miles of paved street, should hack up the council that paid lor these without an increase of the taxes. If the local republican organ succeeds in its effort at peace making between the factions of the ship wrecked g. o. p. and takes the hull moosers into a happy reunion, they are entitled to all the credit they can get, and a cab inet sized eliromo thrown in. From some of file remarks we have heard about Jake Atz surrendering his place in the Progressive ranks, wr. are led to believe that some of them at least j would about a hundred times over | vote for a democrat. The Herald isn't tearing its hair nor shrieking "thieves,” “liars" “boodlere,” etc., at the gentlemen composing the Democratic ticket. j —Herald. If the Herald or tiiosJ who furnish them clues, knew that any of the can- . didates were liars, thieve or lx>:*d . lers, they would and they ought to -ay so. Tiiey know they are clean, i < abable and efficient men who have ' and will make good officials. The | j eople of Decatur are faking **‘j ; chances on these men. You know they have the ability and they have proven

a that In public life they are as cares l'ul as they are in their own private !- uffairs. v gM * i|r *— " 11 —~~ ~~ The Herald editor will have much to answer for when "thirty" is ci/llel. j hut we have always teit that ho would | ho able to squeeze through, until we read his blood-curdling defense of Wes Peterson in last nights issue. It was so real, one could almost believe j lie meant it. In one place the Herald j says—" The Republicans of the Third j i ward will do the city a great service by electing him. There is a reason j for the hostility of the machine to- ( ward him, and it is not to his dis-j , credid." We don't know anythin;?, , about u machine hut why so many arc against him there is a reason, and that is that he carries his little petty gve.vances Into council and lie votes . -tgainst some person or proposition be- . cause lie wants to get even on some t old score. If thats the high class j timber you talk about, we know wliat: , you mean.
