DEMOCRACY'S CANDIDATES

The Republicans of Putnam county which is overwhelmingly Democratic and in which the Republicans have no hopes or expectations of electing \ single man upon the county ticket, have made the proposition to the Democrats that they enter into an agreement to not use money to influence voters in this county. Well and good. But it would be interesting to inquire into the attitude of the Republicans in other counties of the district that are Republican. In Pa,rke county where a Republican township convention passed a resolution asking for some su'-h agreement the resolution was promptly tabled in the county convention, the Democrats have sign" f an agreement and the Republicans under the leadership of Dan Chapin, the district chairman, have contemptuously and laughingly refused to s.gu In the Republican county of Morgan the Democratic county chairman i proposed on agreement and RepubliI (tans'turned it down with every show I of contempt—with so much contempt I and jollity In fact, as to lead the In1 dianapolis News to enter a mild pro- ' test. In the Republican county of Vermilion and the Repuibllcaoi county of Hendricks there is no disposition or intention on the part of the Repub'ieans to enter into an agreement of the kind proposed by the Republicans in this county. Now let us see: In Putnam and Clay counties, the two Democratic counties carried by Bowers two years ago, the proposal : s made that we cut r^it the illegitimate use of money. In Vigo county which will probably go Democratic this year the Democratic comity chairman proposed an agreement and the Republican chairman reluctantly consented. Now what is to be the effect? Do the Republicans hope to g»t some advantage for Holliday in the Democratic counties by the schemes proposed amd expect to buy ’em up as usual in the counties of Morgan, Parke, Vermillion and Hendricks? The Democrats of Putnam county are not interested alone in the election of the county ticket. They are interested in electing Bowers to Congress as well. Now if the Republicans are sincere let us have a general district agreement. If the Republicans in the Republican counties had agreed to such a plan as the one proposed by Republicans in this county, there would be no reason why the Democrats of a Democratic county should not also agree. But if the matter is laughable to the Republicans of Morgan and Parke it surely can’t be serious to the Republicans of Putnam. By all means let us have corruption eliminated in this district. The methods by which Holliday was nominated were so corrupt that they smell to heaven and it will be remembered that the Republican papers in Terrs Haute tihe day of the primary for the selection of delegates to the Republican congressional convention said that “it resembled pay day at the mines.” Let us have assurance that there is not to be any wholesale corruption in Morgan, Hendricks, Parke and Vermillion. Let us have a meeting of all the chairmen of the county committees of the seven counties of the district with the two district chairmen and let us have a general understanding in regard to the kind of campaign we are to have In this district. This kind of campaign would amount to something and the desire of the Republicans in Putnam county could he gratified and the Democrats in Parke, Vermillion, Morgan and Hendricks counties could have their proposal for an anti-vote buying agreement treated with some respect by the Republicans who are in the majority. This paper is in favor of pura elections and of allowing every man to oast his ballot without tempting him with money or threats. We want to see every legal voter have a chan"e to oast his ballot where his home is but we do not think it right for transient students to exercise the right of voting in this county where they have no interest in the local affairs. If the Republicans of this county are in earnest in their demands for pure election methods they will see to It that the Republicans in the other counties get In line. Until the Republicans in Parke, Hendricks, Morgan and Vermillion counties come in- J to line we would advise the Democrats of Putnam county to stand alof from any such agreements.

Ed. McG. Walls is a candidate to succeed himself as the treasurer of Putnam county. He has been in office since last January and when he was elected people said .he would make a careful, painstaking officer and they have no-t been disappointed in him in a single instance. He has cared for the office as well as any other man ever did In Putnam county and has had questions presented to him that hut few county Treasurers in Putnam county have had to face. He has acted at all times with the interests of the tax paver in his mind and has given -whatever accommodations that he could under the law. When people walk up to his counter and pay their part of the support of the state, county, city and townsfiip government they naturally feel that Mr. Walls is the causa of all, and if their taxes are high they feel

that the people would trust and knew would do what was exactly right when anything came Into their hands. David Maze has given his office a clean and good administration. He has surrounded himself with a good family and an able deputy and the sheriff's office is always up-to-date. The jail and sheriff’s residence has the supervision of his good wife and daughters, all educated and refined and in their contact with the element that has to be taken there they set a good example and give an inspiration for a better life among the prisoners. The prison fare is good, too good, and before the stone pile was established the sentence to jail was to the bum or chronic drunkard like giving an over-worked man a ten days' vacttlon with all expenses paid Mr. Maze comes from the army of laboring men of this county. He was engaged for many years as a head sawyer in a mill and day in and day out he had stood in the dust and turned out the lumber that has helped to build many homes in south Putnam county. Mr. M ize deserves a re-election by a good majority. His work has been good and it is a good rule that when a servant performs his task well he should be honored by a further continuance at his post.

Mr. Walls by a sigaed sia'ement iu this paper has promised the tax payers of Putnam county if elected to the office of treasurer of the county he would turn over all the money derived in interest on the county funds under his control. The Republicans of Putnam county also made the same promise in their county platform, but the Republican city treasurer of Greencastle has never turned over one cent of money to the city in the way of interest. People know Mr. Walls will do what he says and they also know that if '.here was a shadow of a chance for a Republican to be elected treasurer that the party would never have made that promise. Mr. Walls is another Democrat that likes to lead the ticket and the contest for first place among the Democrats is bound to be a warm one

The office of sheriff of a county is an important one. It should he presided over by a man that h is character and one that will have the moral courage to do his duty when occasion demands it.

Democratic I Councilman Young is of the opinof Putnan* | 0 n that the figures given out by City

Engineer Denny and published exclusively in this paper as to the cost of the system in this city were about correct. Greensburg is about the same in area as Greencastle but the topography is altogether different The town is on both sides of a hollow or natural drainage and the main sewer was run up this depression and all the branches were run to it. One purification tank that cost twenty -thousand dollars was all that was necessary to take care of the sewerage and there was no rock to en-

counter in laying the system. Here in Greencastle there will have

to bo four or five purification tanks builit to care for the sewers from that many different systems. They are the heavy part of the cost to build. If it were possible to make one purification plant here the cast could be greaHy lessened to what Mr. Denny I gave-out but this is not possible. The ) rock being so near the surface of the j ground also makes the cost greater j ns the work of removing stone is very

heavy.

Greensburg does not compare with Greencastle and it is likely the committee will go to some other city soon where conditions are more like ours and there get some ideas.
