CONTRAST RATHER THAN COM
PAHISOy-

A. A. Young, Edward G. Stott. John
Uhl. H. w. Tutewiler. George w.
Lancaster and Carey Mcpherson are
the Republican candidates for coun-
cilmen at large. Robert M. Madden,
Thomas j. Montgomery, Albert Z. Rauch.
Edward Sherer. George ]. Dudley and
John o'connor are the Democratic can
didates for the same Offices.
Mr.. Young every intelligent voter in
Indianapolis knows by reputation. He
grew up in one of the leading dry goods
houses Of the city and some time ago went
into business for himself. where he con-
tinues at the present time. He has been
a member OF the Council two terms.
During all that period he has always at
tended faithfully to his duties In
the present Council, than which Indian
apolis never had a better. Mr. Young
has been a prominent and influential
member. His record is that of the ma
jority of the present Council. He can al
ways be trusted to stand for the inter-
ests Of the whole city. He KNOWS what
the interests of the whole city are, be-
cause he knows the representative peo-
pie Of the city. Mr.. Madden is the name
on the Democratic ticket opposite that
of Mr.. Young. Can any one give any
reason why he should be elected to the
very important position Of councilman
at large? How many old citizens know
him outside of the directory? Who can
vouch for his intelligence relative to the
affairs Of Indianapolis? He may be the
best of men. but. as no one knows him.
it is fair to assume that he bears the
mark OF the Lieber-Frenzel branding
iron.
ligent business man holding a most re-
sponsible position in d leading firm. He
is member of the present Council and
has established a reputation for intelli-
gence and public spirit. He is in touch
with the active and potent energies Of
the city. But his opponent, Mr.. Mont
gomery. who can vouch for his familiar
ity with the affairs Of the city? There
are the gas interests. the street railway
and telephone franchises and like impor-
tant questions for the next Councils
Mr.. Montgomery known by anybody to
be equal to these subjects. or was he Sc
lected because he will do the bidding of
the same class of Democratic bosses who
control the School Board? Under Sui
Ivan few unknown men like Mr..
Montgomery became the tools of finan-
cial coterie which was opposed to the re-
funding Of the city debt in 1S92-who has
the assurance to give the public that he
will not be the victim of the Consumers
Trust?
John Uhl Is widely known as. an in
dustrious and successful business man
and public-spirited citizen. Every man
who knows him knows that he will make
good councilman. but who will under
take to set forth the qualifications of Mr..
Rauch?
Mr.. Tutewiler has long been known as
good citizen. having taken his first
lessons in Wilders famous brigade His
opponent on the Democratic ticket is the
only one on it who has record. 1t is
very unfortunate for him that he has.
He was a member of the last Sullivan
Council. As often as he was present at
the meeting he voted with the gang, but
being absent at more than half the roll
calls. he may claim support on the
ground that his bad record is not so long
as those of some of his colleagues. Such
men are not wanted in the Council
Mr.. Lancaster. on the Republican
ticket. an ex-soldier. is man well known
in Indianapolis. An active builder for
years. he knows values in the city, Mr.
Mcpherson is man Of so high repute in
the travelling mems organization that he
is one of the officers OF it's most impor-
tant protective associations. Against
placed a Mr.. Dudley and Mr.. John
OConnor. who was SO impressed with
his unfitness that he explained to the
convention which nominated him that
he was not guilty of breaking up the
Freight Handlers Union. But why
should any good citizen vote for Dudley
and O'Connor when such men as George
w. Lancaster and Carey Mcpherson are
in nomination?
Such are the opposing tickets for coun-
cilmen at large. There can be no COM
parison of the one with the other, but the
contrast is most marked. The Republic
an ticket represents the best interests
OF Indianapolis. The unknown men on
the Democratic ticket-for what and for
whom do they stand? All that is known
OF them is that several respectable citi-
zens were pushed aside to make room
for them in a convention manipulated by
the Liebers and the Frenzels.
