Moro than the MnyoraIty Involved. =
Noblesville Ledger.
The Ledger Is glad TO note that this year
the Republicans seem to be more determined
and united than usual In Indianapolis that
Mr.. Taggart shall not be elected mayor of
the capital city. The present disgracefui
methods of the Democrats in conducting
their campaign should be sufficient 10 deter
any Republican from voting for Taggart,
aside from any party motives or anything
that the Republicans of Indianapolis owe 10
the rest of the State to keep the city In tne
charge of careful. economic, business ana
honest hands. There seems TO be no CUES
ton that the people, the taxpayers, nave
been robbed outright, and IL the men VINO
pay the taxes vote to continue the robbery;
when they must know the facts, they snoulu
at least ask no sympathy In the future. a
city is like a county CT State, the peopie
Will get the kind of government they de-
serve. II Indianapolis allows a free-beer,
wide-open VIGOROUSLY corrupt administra-
ton Of affairs to succeed, then the people
should not complain when the taxes are
increased and crime Is rampant. 1t might
seem that outsiders have no interest in the
matter. yet the whole State looks with PRIDE
TO Indianapolis and feels the disgrace wnen
the government is not what II should be
the capital city belongs to Indiana. the
people of Indianapolis should remember that
more than just the mere success of Taggart
or of is involved. The fair
name of the greatest inland city of our Ma
ton Is involved: the honor of all the citizens
OF Indianapolis is involved: a corrupt
municipal government in our State is a dis
grace; to ~re-elect a man like Taggart to be
mayor of the city of Harrison. Fairbanks.
Beveridge. Grifiths, Ad. Harris: and the
true Americans of our State capital, would
be a disgrace that we would all feel.

EIGHTH WARD INTEREST
LARGE CROWDS TURNED L TO
MEET MR. BOOKWALTER.
Mayor Taggart Was Adj
dressing His Constituents ON
the south Side.

The Eighth ward Republicans turned out
last night to meet their candidates in a
manner that was very gratifying. At Le-
feber's Hall, on Rural street, seven pre-
cincts were gathered TO give the candi-
dates a rousing reception and they did
themselves honor. John Ruckelshaus was
the chairman of the meeting. and introduced
Mr.. Bookwalter. In his speech Mr.. Book
walter condemned the present administra-
ton for its extravagant expenditure in the
various branches of the municipal depart
ments. and he told how the taxpayers Of
this city have been gulled into paying a
high tax rate. While much of the money
raised was used in the Democratic cam
paign fund Heelers were put to work on
Pogue's run before the election and the
work washed away with the first rain.
In referring to the elevated track ques-
ton Mr.. Bookwalter described to his con-
stituents the reckless way in which the
Democrats are trying to envelope the city
IN what he called a Chinese WALL" which
would be more dangerous and detrimental
to the business interests than the present
method. Following Mr.. Bookwalter Chair
man Ruckelshaus introduced Charles FL
liot, candidate for city clerk, who congratu-
lated the precinct committeeman and his
workers in showing SO much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wall, candidate for police judge, and
Louis G. Bauer also spoke.
After the meeting at Lefeberts Hall the
candidates drove to Mr.. Foyd's home, on
North Highland avenue. where several per-
sons were anxious TO meet the candidates.
No speeches were made at this place. From
Mr.. Foyd's house they went to the corner
Of Fulton and North streets to address the
voters of the fifth precinct. At this place
tie candidates were much surprised at the
showing of such a large crowd at a pre-
cinct meeting. 1t had grown quite late
when the candidates arrived here and al
least three hundred men had gathered inside
the Michigan Lumber Company'S office TO
pay respects to Mr.. Bookwalter.

Members of the Painters Union resent the
statement made in the Sentinel yesterday
morning in reference to Harry Wright, the
School Boards superintendent of buildings
and grounds. The Sentinel said that Wright
lis accused OF padding the repair gang with
men who are working in his interest as a
candidate Tor general director and in the
interest of the Republican city ticket" The
statement was further made that the Paint
ers' Union would last night investigate Mr..
Wright. Members OF the union say the
statement Is absurd. They declare that
they are on the friendliest terms with Mr..

they have nothing to investigate.
