The winter’s rubbish has been I hauled away and the big job was done in two days by Commissioner Fisher and his assistants, requir-; ing nearly a hundred truck trips. | Thats fine. The residence portion I of the city is now spick and span. Lets se“ that it remains that way I during the summer and fall. To complete the clean-up of the city the owners and occupants of, busines* houses are now- requested i by Commissioner Fisher to get rid ! of the rubbish ami the aceumula-1 tion of the winter now making the alleys look so bad.

We urge every democrat to vote jiqxt Tuesday and thus aid in selecting for your ticket those candidates whom you believe will serve you best in office. There are several candidates for most of the places and you should make up yonr minds before you go to the polls as to whom you will support. If you were offered a good days wage to vote, every body would be eager ami yet when you don’t do so, and there are always hundreds who do not, your carelessness may cost you several days wages.

Thats one thing we can depend upon it seems, that we must pay more to the state every month and every year. Economy evidently doesn't mean a thing to those in control of affairs./ Paul McNutt, dean of the Indiana University Law School and one of the outstanding young men of Indiana will give the keynote address at the democratic state convention. McNutt is one of the best thinkers and most progressive men we know and his message should be one of real worth not only to ! democrats but every citizen who wishes the Hoosier'state to be the best in the Union all the time. Senator Robinson of the London naval conference says that this nation should spend $100,000,000 annually to get our navy up to standard. Now it will be hard for most people to understand that. We thought the conference was one whereby a treaty was to be made that would eventually mean a reduction of naval armament. If we must spend that sum the next ten' years, a total of a billion dollars, I it will be better not to have any i

To the voters and taxpayers of Adams County . I am a candidate for commissioner of Adams county to represent the second district and I solicit your vote in the Democratic primary. Tuesday, May 6th. 1 think the office the most important in the county for the commissioners assist in fixing the tax rates and spent! the money.. I believe that by practicing strict economy, several thousand dollars can be saved and each year taxes reduced. I am not a rich man but I hold considerable property on which the returns are small and my spring taxes which must be paid by May sth total $1,155.02 Naturally I am interested in reducing that if possible. I believe that all necessary improvements can be made for less money than now and I pledge myself it elected to see that they are. t As a contractor I have built several bridges and many miles of macadam roads in the county. I have always believed in improvements and have built a number of properties which I maintain always as good as possible and always at the least cost. That's the way I believe public I matters should be handled and if elected commissioner I promise to conduct s the office so far as is in my power as L . carefully as I have my own. * I would like to show you It can he done and 1 solicit your vote in the coming ? primary. Since it will be impossible for me to y make a house to house canvas or to see u jon all lam asking your votes in this manner. ‘ Julius Haugk " CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONS! 2nd DISTRICT, ADAMS COUNTY?

She has filed a report showing that her recent ’ senatorial campaign cost her $252,000, while her opponent declares he only spent SIO,OOO and his manager less than $15,000. Mrs. McCormick will probably spend that much Bioro to be elected next November, making a grand total of halt a million for a SIO,OOO job. If that is permitted none but millionaires may apply. According to announcement made by J. Monroe Fitch of Muncie, district census boss, the population of Bluffton is 4,989, a loss of 422 since the last census. Had the census been taken a couple of years ago the population would have no doubt shown an increase but tlve period for counting noses came at about the worst time for Bluffton that could have been the past ten years. However the city is now on the upgrade again and will soon be l>ack where it belongs. They are pulling hard for enough additions to boost the total over 5,000 and we hope they get them.
