check? Would you want to license
men to murder? You do 80 when
you license the sale of whiskey, for
that is what leads to seventy five
per cent of the murders and causes
| the downfall of seventy-fve per
cent of the fallen women.
In this campaign the issue is
not men, it is what the respective
candidates stand for. The Reform
party has placed before the people
| of our city ticket composed of
men that no one will have to blush
for when they come to vote. Most
every candidate on the ticket is a
christian and an active worker in
some one of the christian churches
of the city.
For Mayor, the head of the
ticket, we have that excellent
christian business man, G. F. Pres
sey. He has been tried on the
Board of Aldermen and has proven
to be one of the best aldermen the
city has ever had. Against him is
pitted a good man, but he is on
the wrong side. Two years ago
Mr.. Coulter was nominated for the
Office of mayor and in accepting
the nomination by the Taxpayers
convention, he said, IF 1 am elect
ed l will see that the laws are en-
forced and if they are not 1 will
know the reason why" Every
citizen of the city knows that the
laws have not been enforced and
now it is up to Mr.. Coulter to stand
up and tell the people why they
were not.
For City Clerk we have one Of
the best and most capable men for
the position in the city. Theodore
Shoemaker is a christian gentle
man, a member of the Methodist
church and man worthy of the
support of all good people. If
elected he will make one of the
best and most accommodating
clerks the city has ever had.
For City Attorney, we have
placed before the people, A. l..
Taylor, an attorney you all know.
He has been actively engaged in
the practice of the law for Is years
and enjoys an excellent practice
and has the confidence of all who
know him. He is fearless and all
violaters of the law look alike to
him.
For City Treasurer, we have
placed before the voters that pol
ished gentleman, DR.. T. B. Moore.
He needs no introduction to the
people of the city. He has lived
here many years and every man,
woman and child knows his kindly
face and vote for him is a
vote for one of the best, most
patriotic and honest men in
the city. Should he be elected, of
which there is no doubt, our
money will be safe in his hands.
For City Marshal, no better
nomination could have been made
than David j. Houston. He is
honest, fearless and will execute
the laws without fear or favor. He
is a man of property, business
ability and integrity. Elect Hous-
ton and board of aldermen, and
a city attorney to back him up and
see if prohibition does not prohibit.
For City Engineer, the man We
put up, Mr.. Mitten, is liked SO well
and is SO popular that the Tax
payers concluded that there would
be no use to nominate man
against him so they put him on
their ticket. He is one candidate
that is sure of being elected.
For Street Commissioner, We
wanted a man capable, honest and
industrious and the Reform Party
found all these virtues in Mr.. Lee
Amick, and if he is elected he will
make the best street commissions
the city ever had. This is an i'm
portant office to tie city.
