Tin: Bulletin is one ot the best papers in Indiana and Dale one of the kings of the earth when it comes to good fellows. By the way he is a candidate I for the nomination of state audit-r nnd his Eighth district friends fa- 1 j Certain that he will be successful. H j is able, efficient and worthy and will prove a strong man on the state ticket. ! The Herald intimates that Charles N. Christen wotita not stand for the enforcement of the law. if ele< ted nt: y or.t but every man who knows hiz knows that there could scarcely be a wilder statement made. He is known a.- the man with a backbone, one w ;o does what he believes to be his duty Under any and all circumstance,.

j officials. A vote for Charles Christen is a vote lor a well-gov erued city for an- * other four years. He is thoroughly capable, is active, alive to all the best interests of the city. Not a person can j truthfully attack his character. He has served with credit as the head of the finance committee for nearly eight years and he is the man who will save the taxpayers of the city money, will protec 1 their interests at all times, will advance our institutions, j will watch the city's credit, look after the streets, will keep an eye on all 5 the tilings that go to make a good administration. HE IS THE MAN. The dedication of the soldiers' nton-: i ument was In every detail a success, i ! Even the cloudy skies did not pre I ! vent it being a day of all days in D" I 1 eatur. Every part ot the program was given as announced and visitors an I i home people did their pa"! to make - tile day complete and did it well, k ■ was stated by Governor Ralston that j never before in the history of the state had the governor and so many state officers met at one event out--ide the capital city. We believe iliel people of this community appreciate the splendid compliment. (Tfairman Bosse has issued a cal! I ; tor the central committee to meet at ! I headquarters in this city next Thuts--1 day morning at 10 o'clock to fix a date I ' for the democratic primary and to a- i tend to such other business as may I i come up. The coming primary prop- : ises to be a very interesting one. There will be candidates enough for * each office to make the outcome doubtful until the votes are counted. The election will probably occur with1 in four or five weeks. Fred Linn in the First ward will conduct the affairs of government which come under his supervision as I n councilman in a creditable manner. The people of that ward have in him a business man of experience, whose one desire is to serve you. Don't for- . get when you go to vote that he is the man who will see 'hat you get a dollar's worth of servi< e for every duller you pay in city taxes. It's important that you elect such men as Fred Lifi'il on the council. ——— Voters of Decatur are again remind- : cd that it is not necessary to have I registered to vote at this election. If! you are qualified to vote, are twentyone years of age or over, have Hv« in the precinct thirty days, the coun'y sixty days and the state six months, you can vote Tuesday. Be sure to vote and he sure to vote the demevratic ticket. i - Martin and Baumgartner for cotn- , dlnien at large. Don't let little pe»tyl I reasons prevent you from voting for

these two men. Remember that the republicans nretrying to put over a smooth trick by running one man against these two. The democrat: candidates are capable and deserving of dour vote. James Hurst in the Second ward is clean, capable, firm, always looking out for the interests of the men who work. He has done it all lib- life ami his sympathies are with these mm. He will always support the thing which he believes will be of most interest to the people who pa y a tax. be they rich or poor. Peter Kirsch, in the Third ward it 1 a candidate for councilman, that no i taxpayer tan afford to vote against. I He is one of those safe and reliabl - I men. whose advice is needed. \ ote , for him.
