MAYOR DEFENDS IDE

Replies to Charge That They Are •h Working Politics on the lax%paye» Time.

^r-

Mayor Charles R. Hunter issued a .wt&tement Friday in which hp defended Lincoln Secrest, one of the city saniV tary officers, of the charge of registering voters for the November election on tlje city's time. Citizens reported

Thursday that Secrest had been seen nhonfc the city importuning citizens to *H-efcis»ter and passing out registration blanks. Mayor Hunter said Secrest i was on his vacation, and was entitled to do whatever he wanted to that was i lawful. He said: "Them seems to have been a netrlect of sroing into the facta of the matter regarding the registration of voters $ by secrest. It is true that he has been spending the better part of lust week in that occupation, but i have right or desire to stop him, I can't keep a man from doing any sort work he desires when he is on his «f|!on, and Secrest has been on his 'on now for a week. Yes, it is hat other sanitary officers and ..nmistrafion office holders have bfon fc registering voters at spare times. That J' i* my order, we register democrats and republicans alike if we do not do this v the city will have an additional ^xpense for the registration, and a« thinps stand now our chief motive in everything is economy. "The four sanitary officer jobs are called 'plum' Jobs, but just try dividing i1 the city into four districts and seo where any one of the four men has any time left to loaf. The sanitary officers take care of the garbage com- I plaints they see to the removing of (lead animals they keep the weeds cut, and they inspect every alley and unsanitary place in the city. Terre ll Haute, a large sized city, cannot exist without proper sanitation. I am f» not saying at this time whether the 2 sanitary officers will be kept in their positions after the weeds have gone maybe they will and maybe they won't. ,J If I can see where they are not needed & I will And something else for them to do. jL "Just look over this administration a We went into office with a great debt hanging over us. left by the Roberts jg administration, and we are now trying to see our way clear. We will lose about 20 policemen in the next draft,

J! and we are not going to fill their places, Jp unless we place a sanitary officer in boat if necessary. We are curtailing all expenses, and we are running a clean administration. There is no "j gra/t in my administration, anil i« sure as there is a God in heaven, if any member of the administration is caught pulling one crooked thing he

will

swim.

"1 have been

quickly his head

citizen of Terre Haute i

S," for 60 years, and I know what we hare had, and I know what we have now, and I know what we need. As far as the sanitary officers are concerned, they will be kept on their Jobs tmtil after the weeds are gone, and as long after that as I see fit to keep them there. Many officials of the administration are spending their nooti hours and after dinner hours In working tu un interest of registering the

Voters, and I am personally in favor such

procedure.

"The voters are fnllfnc- to reenter. *nd in many cases would not register at all unless some one went to them and urged them to do so. We register democrats and republicans alike what

We are doing is to bring the vote out and save every dollar for Terre Haute that it is possible to save."

DRAFT BOARDS GET RAKE. More

Pay For Men Registering Men For Service. WASHINGTON', Auk. 30.—Tnerea?rd pay for the hard-working local draft boards has been authorized by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Tinder an order announced today members of all boards will receive from $50 to $200 a month, the amount varying with the number of registrants on their rolls.

Fifty dollars will be the minimum for members of boards with 1.000 registrant® or less. Heretofore the compensation has been 10 cents for each registrant, which in many cases was a mere pittance and not in keeping

Hith the time devoted to the task. Officers at General Orowder's office said today that local board members bave made real sacrifices to do their patriotic service, many of them having "ivp their entire time, and It had been realized that they were not properly compensated.
