! laugh at you for being easy. The democratic ticket is composed of able men and you should vote ii from top to bottom Over confidence has lost many an election and the democrats ot Decatur | should make it their business, individually and collectively to see that every vote is cast next Tuesday. A vote for Christen and the other mtn on tlie. ticket is a vote for your own good and that of your neighbor. This ' is not tl.etimeto quibble over little campaign lies. You should remember Jone thing and that is that the denio- . crats have made good and they will continue to do so. Vote for them Tuesday. — Die correspondent who sent in the story to the Indianapolis News bl which it is stated that Governor Rai--1 ston was a guest at tile hotel when i tlie "blind tiger' raid was made, has about the same regard for the truth fas has tlie coward who circulates the scurrilous literature about the democratic candidates here, during the ' midnight hours These schemes used to work, but the people know now when you are misrepresenting ami l such efforts usually rebound against the perpetrator and it will do so at | i this time, in this community of intel-1 i ligi-nt people. Cowardly and dirty attacks upon the' | democratic candidates are Iteing made ■ by people who distribute printed slips ,at midnight. They know and you i know that they would, not make such . ' statements openly. You know and * | they know that the way to measure a ; I business man is by his ability and i by what he Ifas done, not by any oth-' 'er means. Just remember that these i are political tricks, nothing else, and ■ the very manner in which they are' secretly carried on, should make you i stand by Charles Christen and the , democratic nominees stronger than ' ' ever. Men of Decatur you should vote tlie democratic ticket at next Tuesday's election. The men on that ticket ar? j clean and able and honest, and will erve you well. They an the men' who will keep me tax as low, as pos'lJe and the credit of the city high class. You do not wi nt a slop-shod ad-j ainistration. You want a business administration of the affairs and that'l what Charles Christen and the demo-' < ratio councilmen will give you. Vote i for them. This is no time to listen to little petty campaign stories, manu- j factund to get you off thetrack. It is Important that you cast « vote for ’ Charles Christen and the other men I on the ticket. Tiny are ■•.11 capable,| from top to bottom. During the past seven years the ; democrats have been in power. D-rr-1 ing that time they have restored the

. ■ — - , I- —— - — -■ 11, .. ■ , ■ city's credit by reducing the debt from ■ $134,000 to about $35,000. Besides this they have made many splendid Improvements, including the new city hall and the upkeep of the auto lire truck and the paid “re department, at cost of about $5,000 per year. They have built new streets and kept up the old ones, have kept the city plant 1 up to standard, added new street , lights and done a hundred other 1 things of importance with a tax rate ' practically tho same as that chragel by the republican administrations when they were running behind at a ' rate of $12,000 a year. This has been 1 a real business administration. You 1 should vote for a continuance of it next Tuesday and we believe you w'll. Men of Decatur, you hav ■ the inter-1 1 ests of the city, your family, your: neighbor and yourself at heart. You want tills to be the best place on earth ’in which to live. lou believe city offices should be conducted ably and impartially, the city's credit maintained so that when you get a city order it is worth a hundred cents < n tbj dollar: you want tlie community to go forward and not backward: you want a man for mayor who will run the office and not just let it run itself; you want men on the council who can and will do things, other than talk about , their neighbors and stir up factional i j feelings: tlie election next Tuesday is tlie most important for you for four years, for at that time you select the men who govern your home town. You i should be up and doing right now. Work and vote for diaries Christen for mayor and for the other men on tlie democratic ticket, every one oi them being qualified, honest, square i and upright. Get busy and keep at it until the polls close Tuesday evening. We defy any person in tills city to ;ay one word against the character of , ( liarles Christen and say it truthfully. Honest, upright, generous, progressive. truthful, a man who knows what is required of a public official and who when he takes the oath of office, will execute the duties. In ai ( open statement hv deciares for P business administration, for good streets and a well kept city, for economy and efficiency, for employees who will serve the city and not him individualj ly. says that so far as he is able h" will insist that for every dollar you pay in taxes you shall receive a dol lar’s worth of public service, that be will serve no private interests to the injury of the public, that he will seek the advice of his constituents but will assumeresponsibilitv of acting on his own judgment. Isn’t that tl.e kind oi a man you want for mayor? Don't you prefer that kind of a m m to those who circulate literature during the 1 night and who make no public stateI mvnt as to where they stand on anv question. VOTE FOR CHRISTEN.
