"The news from Italy in that the Austro-German coalition has attacked our army with overpowering forces, both infantry and artillery, and that the Italian troops, fulfilling faithfully and bravely the directions of the supreme command, are stemming the advance of the enemy. The country is upholding the army with calm determination. From our allies, we receive the support of their solidarity and of their arms.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT PAID BY THE CITIZENS TICKET

Nuts for Doc to Crack

Eight years ago Doc asked the people to trust him once more and he would give them a good business administration. They gave him another chance by electing him for the fourth term. Did he make good? No, he neglected the duties of his office as before and wasted the taxpayers' money and used the office to exploit his personal business and the last administration was even worse than the first. Four trials and four failures is his record. Doc received the support of the public and the press, of the city eight years ago; yet his last administration was a failure as stated by the Palladium "He failed to make good." After four failures is he entitled to a fifth trial? Doc is a gum-shoe politician. To him "silence is golden"; the creed of professional politicians and chronic office seekers. Just keep quiet, they say, and let the citizens fire away. The people don't care a rap about waste, extravagance and political trickery in public office. A little army of ward-heelers can be turned loose with noise and big talk on the eve of election and they can. pull the election our way. Fine type of citizens these wrard-heelers. Good citizens always vote. It is a most sacred right and duty. The man who refuses to vote next Tuesday fails to do his part as a citizen of Richmond. Our country asks us to save and economize. We have an opportunity to vote for low city tax, low water bills, low light bills, low gas bills and general economy in every department of city affairs. To do this the professional long-time office seeker must be defeated and a mayor elected who will be on the job all the time.

Strange to say the original $144,000 of bonds for the light plant were sold by Doc at private sale without legal notice. They were not advertised. Hence they sold at par and for less than they were worth. Gum-shoe finance. The new refunding bonds $135,000 were advertised by Bavis and the city received $700.00 premium. That's the difference, in one item, between negligence of a politician and the faithful industry of a business man in the mayor's office. Yet the politician wants a fifth term. There are at the present time two kinds of cities in the United States, one kind, like Dayton, Cleveland and Los Angeles, alive to progressive movements, conducting their governments on business principles, economical yet efficient, a credit to the community and to the country ; the other class reactionary like Chicago and Philadelphia, under gangs and bosses, rotten with spoils politics and a disgrace to the nation as well as to themselves. The mayor of Philadelphia has been indicted as an accessory to a murderous assault and the mayor of Chicago is a laughing stock and reproach to the country. Richmond has a chance at the coming election to show to which of these two classes of cities it belongs. On the one side is a candidate who has administered the affairs of the Board of Works with signal ability. He is a non-partisan candidate. He represents a progressive government. On the other side is an old boss, a political and party nominee who jias perverted our city government one term after another backed by a ring of similar politicians and ward workers. Which do we want?
