THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For Mayor CHARLES N. CHRISTEN For Clerk H. M. DeVOSS For Treasurer JOS. McFARLAND For Councilmen-at-Large JACOB MARTIN L. L. BAUMGARTNER For Councilman. First Ward H. FRED LINN For Councilman, Second Ward JAMES HURST For Councilman, Third Ward PPETER KIRSCH A vote for Fred Linn. James Hurst. Peter Kirsch. L. L. Baumgartner and Jacob Martin for councilmen is a I vote for the best interests of the city | you call home and all its people. To boast about paying debts with tribute taken- by law from the pockets of the taxpayers is, after all. little over which to take congratulations. — Herald contri- i bution. Well, it’s more than any republican ’ council can boast of in De< atur’s an-j dent history It is generally rumored that a num her of people adeto stay away from i the polls next Tuesday in order to! keep down the vote. We do not Im : lieve that any man can afford to bar : ter or trade on his right of suffrage or i that any good results can come front > such a policy. Every man who has , the legal right to vote should do so. • It shows how and witen the j money they hud at their disposal was applied, and the wisdom of j their management.—Herald. Yes. and a republican council just preceding the democratic administrn-1 Hon Itacked up $48,006 in four yea.- J More wisdom? Better not get too; deep into that ancient history or you will find that the democrats have acted wisely and performed well to get the city out of all the tangle* that | these wise men you speak of got tin ! city into. , " Jake Atx is mad. It is now reported that he has wired Jim Watson of Mui hall investigation fame, to come to Decatur and make apeechea in his be-, half. It's even money that when Jiri

' looks up Jake's record and finds he ! ■ was a bull moose committeeman last I year he will send him word to secure ! : the services of tire hero of the "vino- 1 f clad cottage.” Poor Jake! Charles Christen stands for those

things which will make Decatur a better city in which to live. He is honest and square and is well prepared to take charge of the affairs of the city. He is deserving of your vote. Give him a council that will assist him and not retard him and you will have the best, managed city in Indiana, witli a low tax rate, and everybody will be happy. The Herald says that if it were not i for tlie Democrat no one would know on what ticket Charles Christen was i running. We dispute the charge. Evi cry one in town knows his politics He is and always has beer, a demo | erat. He was nominated at an open democratic primary. He does not be long to the "wobblers." He’-' straight, and vou always know where to place I ; him. The tinal week of the city campaign is on. The indications are that tie democrats will elect every candidat. and they should. They present a strong ticket. They have ” majority of several hundred and there is >•< , reason in the world why they xhou'i*' I not win. They will, if each democrat will take off his coat and do a littj< I missionary work this week. Get bus' now. It means a business administra tion for another four-year term. The Herald wants a little ancietr ' history, and here’s anothet one so them to put in their pipe and smoke I When the democrats went into con trol less than eight years ago thcity was in debt $124,009. of whicl amount more than $48,000 had hec, ; added during the four years precett . ing (under a republican council), am during that time the city tax was eacl year about $1.33, as compared to th* levy $1.37 thia year, besides whicl they had the income from a dozen o> more saloons. Think of it. With i tax rate practically the sane as no" charged they went deeper into deb at the rate of $12,000 a year. They gave the democratic administration t levy of $1.33 and instead of runniu/ behind as had their predecessors thej kept even the first year on the sami levy which caused the previous ad ministration to back up thousands o’ dollars. The democrats have used th* money raised by lax judiciously am s the people will prove by their ballot' next week that they approve of it. The Herald has hung out the S. O I 8. sign and in reply thereto. norm person, evidently peeved by some thing that baa l>een said during th* campaign comm back with a two-col umn article headed, “Farts cf History Reviewed.” Just what he Is trying t< ’ say Is hard to dim over, but it seem< to be a defense of a republican admin istration of twenty years ago. In li they admit that the republicans had at least as much to do with creatine the big debt against the city as di*' any one else and that they did it a' a time when the debt against the city was already more than S4O .WK). The) also refunded $30,000 of irnnds au<* ! instead of making them payable a* the rale of sl.ooo per yea.*, as buri , new men would haw done, they niatli them payable nil at once, tlierebkeeping the debt up. No one that »e ! know of is complaining about Decatur having a city plant. The statement j that caused the spasm of ancient hl* | tory was made In explaining the high • tax which baa been the chief cry of 1 the Herald. They admit they mad* the debt, but they seem to think It could be paid off without a tax. FOR COMMISSIONER.
