There are some indications that | Fort Wayne Is having a city elec- j ! tion. The candidates and their ' I supporters arc exchanging punches in speeches, in the newspapers and in conversation. Harry Gottschalk. ' the Democratic candidate is a ! popular citizen, well known here ! . and has many boosters among all classes and Is being supported by ' a GOP Gottschalk for Mayor club. “ - There should be no delay hi in- i dieting Adrian H. Miller for the I attrocious murder of Allee M. Girton, a Winchester school girl, at Fort Wayne . The attack and murder was one of the foulest ever 1 to occur in this territory and the public will demand speedy trial. | 1 He has confessed and given the , details of the affair, so debasing \ as to even make the hardened police officials shudder. We have | no room for such depraved men in . this peace loving middle west coun- . I try. The man who made Popeye, the 1 Sailor, is dead. E, C. Segar, car j toonist, who became famous when ' he almost accidentally discovered ’ Popeye and his friend Wimpy, died Friday. He was but 44 years old I and his death removes one of the j most popular men of his business in the world. Millions watched • daily for the episodes of the man I who declared "I yam what I yam. ’ I because they wanted to laugh. The loss of any one who produces laughs is always severe for we have too few with that talent. The world regrets the passing of this i man at the noontime of his career. Only three weeks until election and it's an important election. The 1 country is moving along. We are getting back to normalcy in a most , apparent manner and we will go | far the next year towards making every one contented and happy i Don't take chances on voting. Re- | member it's much better to be in 4 time with the government and that means we should elect those who are in sympathy with the state and 1 • national administration. t “ 1 There are many fine improve- 1 1 v merits in the making for next year. The Central Drive addition in the north part of the city will become ( one of the most beautiful sections ; I li Itv be found in any city in the . middle west, there will be many e new homes built here, the Krick-P 1 Tyndall plant will be rebuilt. Mon--1 roe street will be resurfaced. 224 will be completed between here and Huntington, there will be a number of other fine highway im- ; •a. and we should all be happy and enthusiastic.
