Before any citizen of Paducah
makes up his mind how to vote in

the Democrats and the men they have
named time after time for public office
have done for the city, and how they
have taxed the people and given
them nothing in return. II they
want = repetition they can get it by
electing the Democratic ticket again
this year. They are all alike. II the
people want q change they must vote
for the men nominated by the Repub

Of building up the city. From the
Democratic crowd there is nothing to
expect except tine usual inoompetency,
extravaganza. high taxes, no improve

tinued bankruptcy. What The Sun
says is not campaign buncombe or
election talk. 1t is something that
