THE CONVENTION
AND ITS WORK

, The democratic city convention
Wednesday evening was one of the
most harmonious and most demo
cratic assemblage which has congre.
gated in the city in years. There was
no slate and there was no boss. The
delegates went into the convention
pledged to no man They were there
to nominate honest and capable dem
ocrats for the various places on the
ticket, and how well they did the
work and how faithfully they full
filled the trust imposed in them is
shown by the personnel of the ticket.
There are no apologies to be made
and no sore spots to be healed. The
democrats of Marion enter TIE cam
paign united in their effort and de-
termination to score decided vic
tory at the polls in November.
A glance at the ticket can but con-
vince every man, who has the city's
welfare at heart, that the democrats
have named candidates who will make
most competent and careful officials.
Louis Scherff, the present mayor,
heads the city ticket and he needs
no introduction. He stands firmly
upon the record he has made during
his first term and needs no better
footing. Whatever the opposition
may say against him, it cannot
truthfully be said that he has not
been conscientious in all he has ac-
complished. He has at all times
had the best interests of the city and
its people at heart and has worked
hard to bring about conditions which
should work out good for both.

for City Solicitor, is one of the fore
most younger attorneys of the city.
