MAKE YOUR GROIGE FOR CITY ELECTION

CANDIDATES SUBMITTED BY THE DEMOCRATS FOR CONSIDERATION OF VOTERS

Election Tuesday, November 3 Will Decide Managers of City Afaairs For Next 4 Years

While the names of candidates for city officers of Ligonier to be voted for next Tuesday appear under polititical party emblems fitness for the position rather than political affiliation will be the guiding ' gpirit. [in which they will be considered by the voters. . : . In this respect the public is extremely fortunate in having a Dpersonal acquaintance with all the aspirants for office, or rather those citizens who have been drafted for the places, and the candidates""fre—quire no elaborate introduction. : Ligonier is a corporation whom

capital stock emerges into millions of dollars. It is supported by direct taxes collected from the residents, and this makes every taxpayer & stockholder in the .cgrporation. ' The officers of the big institution consist of a manager called the mayor and a board of directors known as tae ¢ity council * consisting of five members. To assist these officers and make the organization complete there is a elerk, the secretary of the board, and a treasurer who is custodian of the finances. These officers are all chosen for a term of four years and the length of time comprehended is a term should impress the voting stockholder with the importance cf selecting the best men, not the best politicians, for the places. There are two things to consider in selecting these officers, qualifications for the duties and honesty in the administration of them. = . i To secure candidates of the right character and fitness for these official positions is no easy task, The pay is small and the honors are made questionable by unthinking residents given to fault finding and unfavorable criticism. o : ' : But when a ticket is placed in the field with candidates willing to serve that they desire success at the polls is but natural. L ' Both the democrats and republicans have a ticket in the field. The party emblems are used for the reason that this is found the easier way to present the candidates. It binds no voter to .support any set of candidates. He may pick and choose and support whom. he pleases. . ' After considerable work the democrats induced good citizens to stand as candidates. The ticket is headed by Dr. C. G, Keehn, known to almost every man, woman and child in Ligonier for his activity -in civic affairs. No public duty has ever called to which he did not give prompt response. He has for years been identified actively with every movement for the uplift and betterment of this com-l munity. Capable and upright in all his dealings if selected - mayor he may be relied upon to do his duty as he sees it. Dr. Keehn will appreciate the support of his candidacy by the voters of Ligonier. : Equally as well known and competent is; Joseph C. Kimmell, candidate for city clerk. lln business as well as official life he has always been found capable and honest, Mr. Kimmell has served Noble county as a member of the state legislature the state as a deputy in the state treasurer office, Nople county auditor and his experience as banker and realtor has been wide and extensive. Hig fitness is unqutsioned. Mrs. Olive M. Gerber a graduate of the Ligonier schools, a life long resident and property holder of this city was named for the office of city treasurer, not because she is a woman but because of her fitness for the place. Responsible, trustworthy and competent she would fill the position with credit and fidelity. The democratic candidates for the

city council if elected will be found satisfactory to the taxpayers. 2 For councilman at large Albert Bordner retired farmer and property holder and George Ramsbhy also a home owner and old business man, will appeal to the voters. These gentlemen with the ward candidates for the council are all well known and competent. Ed Tyler a native of Ligonier is in the oil business and for years visited the homes of the city for the distribution of his commodity, For the second ward Dr. George O. Smith is the candidate. During his residence in Ligonier Mr, Smith has built up a wide circle of friends who will rally to his support on election day. N\ It should not be necessary to introduce George W. Starr who stands for the third ward. Mr, Starr served four years most faithfully and satisfac-
