HOW TO BEAT COTTREI,I,.

The day after the nomination of Mr. Cottrell
the Journal said it would not do to belittle
the strength of his candidacy. We desire now
to repeat that warning. Mr.. Cottrell has at
his back compact, wealthy, aggressive, ar
rogant business and organization. The
saloons can easily raise corruption fund
of $50, 900 to carry their point, and to be sure
of ayerting, for two years at least, the one
hundred-dollar tax, besides securing the re-
peal of the present $50 tax. Every
saloon in the city will be closed
tomorrow. Every man that the saloon
interest can reach will vote and work from
sunrise to sunset in the interests of Mr.. Cot
trell. Every horse and wagon controlled by
the saloon interest will be employed in the
work of his election. Here is an influence
not to be despised. The only way to meet
their money is with earnest determined
men. The only way to meet their aggression
and vigilance is by equal and superior work
and watching To wish the cause of law and
order well will not do. Wishes are good,
but votes and work are better. To-
morrow's election must be and will
be determined by the taxpayers of the city.
If they want to defeat "Sim" Coy they can
easily do it. If they want him to be success
full they can permit it by lstlessness and indif
ference. If the taxpayers of Indianapolis will
turn out tomorrow, and vote and work, "Sim''
Coy ''Sam" Dinnin and their gang of law
breakers, will be buried under popular ma
jority of five thousand. That figure could
easily be reached. Every vote that the law.
and order cause receives less than that plu-
rality will be due solely and entirely to the
apathy and cowardice of the business men
and taxpayers of the city.

THE ISSUE STATED,

Mr.. John Weilacher says the contest to-
morrow is between the saloons and the people.
Mr.. John Weilacher says truly. It is con-
test between the saloons and the people, If
the saloons succeed in defeating "the people"
tomorrow, the Journal desires to say to Mr..
John Weilacher and his associates that they
are mistaken if they fatter themselves that
the contest is ended. 1t will be but fairly be-
gun. The struggle will be only the more
deeply intensified; for it is as certain as tn at
the sun shines, that the arrogant,
la~defying Liquor League will be
thunderously rebuked, some time, and the
liquor saloons compelled to observe and obey
the law. IL Mr. John Weilacher and his as
sociates in business had ordinary sense and
sagacity, they would see they are but treas
uring up wrath against the day Of wrath.
''The people and the law are supreme in this
country Mr.. Welacher; and if you keep on
in your course of pitting your saloon against
both, you will find that fact out much sooner
than you expect. We hope the lesson will
be taught tomorrow.

saloons foot their own bills.

If dozen or more prominent, reputable
well-known, determined business men and
tax payers would remain at each polling pre-
cinct tomorrow from the opening to the close
of balloting, it would do more than anything
else to bring out the vote Of law and order
men, and to check the schemes of the brbers,
brawlers and corruptionists, who hope to
practically capture certain wards and poll all
the votes they may need to insure their sue

present outlook we expect good working tax
majority in both boards. It is pos

gang "Sim" Coy, in the Eighteenth ward,
and elect Dr. S. III. Moore, splendid gentle
man, who would be credit to the ward, and
be able to do something for it as
a member of the Council, which Coy
cannot do. Then it is possible to beat
Mack, Dowling's man, and it is possible to de-
feat Edenharter and elect Mr.. Gardner, than

does not live in the city. 1t is within
the possibilities to make decided gains
in the southern wards. The de-
