VOTE TOMORROW:— Election day is at hand after one of the shortest and quietest campaigns ever made here. The democratic candidates however have made a rather intensive drive the past ten days, running on a clean and clearcut platform. Standing squarely upon the record made by the past administration and with promises for a continuation of the progressive but always careful policies, they have asked the support of the voters in Decatur. You will, it seems to us be rather foolish not to accept the promises they have made to further reduce power and light rates, insurance costs and taxes, to continue improvements ' and to conduct the city in a con- , scientious and honest and efficient i manner. They have proven in the past that they can do this and they ask you to 1 give them the opportunity to con- 1 tinue with plans already made. There 1 are numerous improvements that can 1 be made. You want them and wilh appreciate them. The democratic candidates openly declare themselves for ' you and what yotj want. Seems only fair that they should have a genuine vote of confidence in tomorrow’s election. However, whether you vote for or against the democratic ticket, it is certainly your duty to vote and to assist in getting out the vote. Be a good Decatur citizen. GOOD OFFICIALS: — The democratic ticket in tomorrow’s ' election is composed of excellent men and women whom we feel are splen- 1 didly qualified to serve you. You 1 know them but we believe it proper to again call to your attention just 1 at this time that they can and will serve you capably. George Krick is ' the candidate for mayor. He has served you four years and his exper- < ience as a manufacturer and a business man has been very valuable. i Four members of the present council, i O. lu. Vance. Fred Linn, Joe Hunter and Herman Gillig, are candidates for re-election. Thev have proven their I interest and their ability so well that : you should easily be able to decide whether they can solve the problems which are sure to come up and to do so to your best advantage. George ( AppeUuau is a business man who will . give his closest attention to his job , if elected. Mrs. Christen and Mrs. Martin, candidates for clerk and tress- , urer are among the best known worn- , en of the city. It is a strong, splendid , ticket and should be given a decisive ( vote of approval. i When you go to the polls tomorrow remember that the city debt has been paid, there is money in the Iwnk. many improvements have been made ■ and the taxes reduced. Much as you may believe it. these things do not just happen. They come from careful business methods and from much effort to economically and wisely administer the affairs of the public. ' Your vote for the democratic ticket ' i tomorrow will be an endorsement of the work so well performed. For many years it was the custom ' in Decatur and still is in most cities of this size to employ an engineer at a cost of 11.200 to 11,300 per annum. That work is now well taken care of

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Madison, Wis. —(UP) — There’s I something in the air up north. The I open season on skunks has begun. by Mr. Harruff, who serves also as superintendent of the water plant and who earns his salary from that department of the city. Mention of the fact is made to show you how carefully and methodically the city has been operated. Vote the democratic ticket tomorrow and endorse the record made by Mayor Krick and his administration. Decatur is out of debt, has a bank account, has spent large sums for improvements and with a four-cent lower tax rate than in a number of years. Don’t be misled by little things. Remember that it is our first duty to I keep our town moving along. VOTE TOMORROW’. If you don’t sees that you should vote as we suggest, use yoitr own best judgment, but vote. Every citizen should have that much interest when we are selecting those who will have charge of city affairs for the next four years. A large vote will be the best proof that we are a good, growing, going community. Though much has been accomplished the past few years to make this a better city in which to live, there are still many things to be done. Some of these have already been planned and will be taken care of in due time if you permit the administration to go on as it is and you are assured that nothing will be done except that which is for the best interests of all. Don't be side tracked in tomorrow's city election by late rumors or silly stories. It’s easy to start last minute reports but a campaign of so much importance to all of us as is this one should be decided upjn merit. Rememlter that public affairs in Decatur, each department are in excellent condition and that we have stepped forward in away which is best for every one here. It’s a rather sorry condition of affairs when the United States senate Married Woman Fears Gas—Eats Only Baby Food ‘‘For 3 years I ate only baby food, everything else formed gas. Now. thanks to Adlerika, I eat anything and enjoy life.’’ —Mrs. M. Gunn. Just ONE spoonful Adlerika relieves all GAS so you can eat and deep lietter. Acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel removing poisons you never knew were there, and which canned your stomach trouble. No matter what you have tried for stomach and bowels, Adlerika will surprise you!
