— *-* - - ( the Injury of the public and 1 promise to go into office without my hands ! being tied. "I hope that my administration, if 1 am eloeied, shall be known its the law and order administration. “1 will keep the strets clean and in I as good repair as possible. "I will exact compliance with the plans and specifications for public ini-j provements. "I will insist that public service cor-j porations keep their franchise pledges. “i will try to make economy and efficiency the dominant features ot' the administration. 1 •'! will demand that for every del jlar of taxes collected and expended; tlie public shall receive a dollars' worth in public service. “And finally l want it understood; that 1 am a democrat and the nom'-j nee of the democratic party—not of I any faction thereof—and with me democracy means that an official should serve all the people justly without I j regard to party affiliation. •CHARLES N. CHRISTEN." The lass city tax was $1.33 inelud-j ■ ing the library tax which is now a part of the general levy. At that ; time the city had the income from twelve saloons. The la* levy made I last September b>' the present cou | ell for next year, is $1.37. These ar* | plain and unvarnished fact's and Show • that the little "sqtteel” the Herald !:•’ 1 trying to make is about as flimsy as a i pretense at argument coulb be., ' j Every business man in town and- • I every man who will stop and think 1 of the problems that faced the dem >- j «-rats when they went into office eight > | years ago. know that they have earn ed the credid that the Hearld is nowtrying to take away from them. Over-confidence Is the ouly tiling that can cause the democrats to lose a single man on the ticket at next - Tesday's election. You should te-

. m ... n ii member, democrats, that it's your duty to vote and every vote In the city should be cast. Don't listen to any fake stories, don't be a part of any schemes, which are simply poll • leal tricks. Get out and vote for the men whom your party has named it. ian open primary. You have a right ito feel proud of your ticket. They are good men, and they will conduct the w-ork of their offices in a manner that will he satisfactory to every citIxen of Decatur. Tlie last city tax levy made by tlie republicans when iu control j of the council was $1.26. It stauds as tlie lowest levy In tlie city in eight years.— Herald. Another case of ignorance or Intentional misquoting. Tin- last city ! tax made by a republican council was I $1.26, plus seven cents library, or a ; total of $1.33. The next tn the last j 1 levy by a republican council was the i same, and that same republican tour.- ! eil run the city $12,000 in debt on that levy. Is it any wonder The tax was high when tlie democrats started to pay that debt off? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmcmmmmmmm Tlie democrats have a majority of from three to four hundred in Deea tur. They should have tlie municipal j offices by right of that majority. Foi i eight years the administration lias ' been democratic and the records can not be sccessfully attacked. There is no reason under the sun why you should not support the ticket. Take off your coat and do a little something for the boys—Christen, DeVoss, McFarland. Martin. Baumgartner, Line. Hurst and Kirsch. Let them have an I old-time majority. Indianapolis, Chicago and Ft.
