FRED LINN For Councilman, Second Ward JAMES HURST For Councilman, Third Ward PPETER KIRSCH - Joe McFarland for treasurer and Huber DeVoss for clerk. They are the right men for the places. They will Ik- elected and you should add your vote to the others. Henry Hite wants a rest from the worries and trials and tribulations of! business. It wouldn't Ik- right to bur | den him with the work of the mayor's; office when a man like Charles Christen, well lilted for the duties and j willing to perform them, is asking you for the place. Vote for Chris- j teu. President Wilson is making a gre. t fight for his currency bill and the j people are with him. His one effor; I is to take away from the few the control of the currency of the United j States and to restore it to the hands of the people. He will win and his light! for the people will be known in future years as one of the greatest ever j made hy any president. Voters of Decatur should attend the smoker at democratic headquarters Wednesday evening Tiiere will be speeches hy prominent local men an-l j you will have a chance to hear the is sues of the campaign discussed while you smoke. The election is but one i week away. Every loyal demecr.u ! should assist in the closing of the; campaign. Get busy boys. The city election is one week from! today.

stand for and we are sure you will s vote for Charles Christen and the t men who arc on the ticket with him. 1 ----- — ' t Charles Christen declares for n « business administration, for law and , order, for well kept streets, for econ- t omy and efficiency, for a dollars' worth of service for every dollar of. I taxes, for a first-class administration. J I That's what you want. A vote for I Charles Christen is a vote for your | best interests, for your neighbor, for every man, woman and child In tills j city. Voters of Decatur, no difference what their policies are, should this i year vote for the democratic candi-j dates on the city ticket. They have | proven their ability to conduct the cf- j I lairs of city government in*a business I | way. They are progressive, alive to ’ < j the best interests of the people ol 1 this city, careful and have in every. way made good. They should be giv- j en control during the next four yearsj and we believe that the vote next, Tuesday will approve their acts. Every business house and every residence in Decatur should be gaily decorated in red, white and blue, j Thursday. On that day we will dedi- j, cate to the old soldiers and their i wives and their families, the hand-! 1 some new monument, a work of rar r - 1 . i art. It is au occasion that will liviu the memory of the youngest child. 1 Let’s get into the spirit of the day and make it a happy and pleasant one. Jim Hurst is a good citizen, well ■ qualified for the place he seeks on the council. Peter Kirscli is a bus: ness man, whose advice will always Ik- sound and good. Jacob Martin and L. L. Baumgartner are men of experience, careful and trustworthy. Fred Linn is one of the best citizen* of Decatur. If you were to search tincity over for a better bunch of men for the places, you could not find them. They deserve your votes next Tuesday. Bead “What diaries- diristen) Stands For” as the democratic can didate for mayor of Decatur. Hej means every word of it and you cun depend upon him. He is a successful man with a big backbone. He will advance Decatur and in doing so In , will advance you. His platform is clean-cut and the kind that should appeal to every Intelligent voter and good citizen. He lias mad-, good ami lie lias earned the place to which he now aspires, that of mayor of the city of Decatur. Fred Linn should Ik- elected eouu , , dlman in the First ward by a vote that will declare that the people of that ward want a business man to represent them. He Im a high class - cieizen. deserving of your vote, anJ 1 If elected will give you service that wiil bring credit to your ward and to the city. He has lived among you | all Ills life. He is honest end square and capable. He Is a contractor of experience and his advlc-c on the j council will Ik- of value. Vote for ! him next Tuesday. The Herald is still misrepresentUijm I the issues in the present city campaign by quoting the total tax levy -,t $4.73. They must think their readers j are a lot or rabbits to bo bitten by such a bug. The city tax levy is J j $1.37, and It Is ntiout the same levy made by tin- famous republican conn jell*, who ran behind at the rate of I . SI2,IMM) per year. The democrats have I 111 I(J off tlie city debt at thej rate per year that the rc publican* j went In tliu r«-d Ink. They have con i 11 ducted a business administration * ' nearly eight year* and their record Is the heat evidence of a business an | inlulslration. -Jl— 1 JUgL! x. r i According io the Evening Herald.
