Decatur, Indiana, Tuesday Evening, October 28, 1913.

I -What Charles Christen Stands For 1 ! ft I , I believe that the voters or Decatur have a right to know the policies II of any many for whom they vote in any election and I believe that i* especially true when one become a candidate for mavor, the highest executive office in the city. I therefore subscribe to the following platform: I declare for a business administration and will make ever;- effort to give such. I assure you it will be tree from any selfish or outside influences. I will invite the advice of my constituents, but in the end I will assume , the responsibility of acting upon my own judgment. I will serve no private interests to the injury of the public and I promise to go into office without my hands being tied. I hope that my administration. If I am elected, shall be known as the law and order administration. I will keep the streets clean and in a* good repair a* possible. I will exact compliance with the plant, and specifications for public improvements. I will insist that public service corporations keep their franchise pledges. I will try to make economy and efficiency the dominant features of the administration. I will demand that for every dollar of taxes collected and expended / the public shall receive a dollars’ worth in public service. And finally I want it understood that I am a democrat and the nominee of the democratic party—not of any faction thereof—and that with me democracy means that an official should serve all the people justly without regard to party affiliations. CHARLES N. CHRISTEN.
