DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT , 1 Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Uttered at the Decatur, Ind., Post Office as Second Class Ma>w Dick D. Heller, Jr. —— President John G. Heller Vice President Chas. E. HolthouseSecretary-Treasurer j . i , —’ An Election Prediction Tomorrow is election day in Decatur, and we will select our mayor, clerk-treasurer, city judge, and five councilmen for the coming four years. Each person gets to vote for ALL EIGHT offices — while councilmen are Selected from districts, so each district will be represented, ALL the voters get to vote for them, regardless of where they live. The polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. If you don’t know all of the candidates, you are encouraged to vote for those whom you do know, and wish to support. While you can vote for eight offices, you need vote for only those whom you wish to support. This has been a hard-waged campaign, with numerous innovations, not the least of which has been an unusual amount of newspaper advertising by both sides. Bob Anderson had handled ads for the Republicans, Bob Heller and Bernard Clark for the Democrats. It has been especially interesting for the editor, who, in his double capacity of advertising man and editor, has had the job of helping Anderson make up the Republican ads, while Dick Ehinger and Dick Reidenbach assisted the Democrats. While the editor has played no part at all in the Democratic campaign this time, he has, of course, received the usual anonymous |etters “blaming” him for the Democratic ads. childishness is entertaining and draws a good laugh at the newspaper office, even if it is an indictment of the ignorance of those who do it. Each year we customarily make a prediction concerning the election. And each year we customarily “catch the dickens” from those for whom we predict defeat. (And each year we have been largely correct so far — but there’s always a first time, as the magazine which predicted Landon’s 1936 victory found out.) This year will be no exception. We will make a prediction, based on a rather detached look at the campaign this year. First of all, let’s analyze the situation. The Republican candidate is the incumbent in a traditionally Democratic city; he won by 4, 39, or 42 votes, depending on which of the recounts you prefer. He has had the usual mayor’s headaches, with the result that we can be expected to garner fewer votes than before. Decatur has a history in recent years of turning out mayors — Holthouse, Stults, and Cole are examples, albeit all Democrats — the recent Republicans have. - been reelected. Mayor Gage's chief claim to fame has been his spending of the light plant money which has been appropriated for city use by the Democratic council. All in all, we expect Mayor Gage to be defeated, perhaps by 300 votes. While we expect all five opposed Democrats for city council to be elected, it would not surprise us if the Republicans elect one councilman. This prediction, like all others, is purely an educated guess — what’s yours? And don’t get arguing too hard about it, and forget to vote! Editorial written by Dick Heller
