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—- — LAST WORD Mr. Voter:—The city campaign 1: closing. As a last appeal to you w ■ ask you to vote or the democratic i nominees. At the head ot the ticket | is Charles Christen, every Inch a man. who stands for the following: “1 declare for a business administration and will make every effort to' gixe such. 1 assure you it will be free I from any selfish or outside influences. "1 will invite the advice of my constituents. but in the end I will asunic the responsibility of acting upon n</ own judgment. "1 will serve no private interests io the injury of the public and ' promise i to go into office without my hands being tied. “I hope that my administration, if I am elected, shall b<- known as the la* and order administration. “I will keep the streets clean and m ■ good repair as possible. "I will exact compliance with the | plans and specifications for public Im- 1 provements. “1 will insist that public service corporations keep their franchise pledges. “I will try to make enconomy and efficiency the dominant features of the administration. *1 will demand that for every dollar of taxes collected end expended the public shall receive a dollars’ worth in public service.” \Ve don't believe that any organist-1 Don can afford to make a < ampaig:i > which disfranchises you.

ing the men who will govern you for four years to come as it is that you assist in selecting any other otllceis. If you are really interested in your local community you will not listen to i the advice of Al Graham. E. Fritsinger, Wes Peterson, Lee Walters and 1 the men who have been known as leajtiers of their political party for years. They are the foxy boys and you are the "suckers" If you listen to their advice at times when a political campaign is on. They are working the "drys” and working the "wets” and they are doing everything else to secure democratic votes. They will break up their own organization and that's about all they will accomplish. Attacks upon such men as Charles Christen. Jacob Maitin, Jacob Buhler. Dr. Miller, Joshua Parrish, and a dozen other good citizens of Decatur have been made in literature distributed over the city during the past few nights. These men have livid among you all their lives. They are upright and honest citizens and so much better than the dirty cur who put thin, stuff out that it's a shame they have to live in the same community. The way to show your contempt for the perpetrator is to vote the democratic ticket tomorrow. This seems to be a year for the distributing of campaign literature. ; While no one knows the source, there is enough of underhanded work in i connection to make the democrats and thoho who favor a clean and honest administration, suspicion that it is all a smooth political trick. Don t be fooled. It you believe in a better Decatur, if you want the city to so ahead and to be well governed, you should vote for the democratic nomi nees. No republican candidate paid a Hickel for the honor conferred upon him—Herald. It has been generally understood that Jake'Atz paid only three cents, but it was supposed that at least one or two of the republican candidates would want to pay their share of the i expenses of the campaign. How did - you raise the money to pay for all this literature that ha.-, been passed out during the pa-t three or four nights? The democrats have made a clean and open campaign. They have a ticket composed of men of whom they are proud. These men have records as moral men and as officers. They would not stoop to the dirty tricks that have Iteen played against them and in the long run they will have the respect of their neighbors long after the men who iiave attacked them have been forgotten. Do you think Hint Wes Peterson and E. Fritxlnger. leading men in the Civic League, and each a candidate for

councilman, would be working hand in hand for their own defeat, by asking their friends to stay away from tiie polls’ Du you think they will stay away from the polls? Don't you believe that thia letter writing Is a scheme to defeat the democrats? We warn you to keep your eye* uper. Democrats are warned to vote to morrow. The circular sent out from J C. U Walters’ other pays especial u’ tention to the Third ward, where E. |t Pritxinger is a candidate for council- ” man. Do you think, he will stay’away from the polls’ Vou have Just amuch right to vote aa he has and you ought to do it. And you ought to vote for Peter Kirsch. It has been always stated that tie i'ivl<' League was not a political | ' ganintlM. but now at the very find i opportunity they show their hand and | die fmt that they arc thus fighting • against the demm i.itic ticket, com posed of aa good men and as clean 1 mm m> then' tire in the city, nbou’d ( I shake the confidence of many. | — If you Imlicvn In clean politics, lt| I a clean ndministration of city affairs 1 in dean tuvn and clean tactics, vote i the drmm ralit ticket tomorrow.

It is too important for you to obey th' 1 orders of a bunch of republican politicians who are only trying to work . you and will then laugh at you for, four years.

The Herald devotes considerable space to proving t the democratic administration was the cause of the - bad weather on dedication day. Ridiculous you say?
