IMPARTIAL SUGGESTIONS
For the Consideration Of the InteIli-
gent Voters Of Marion County

FOR the CONSIDERATION OF the lnteili-
gent Voters of Marion County
On the 18th day OF May we will
again exercise the sacred privilege o.
suffrage, and it behoOves every citi-
zen to consider logically and impair
TALLY before casting his ballot
The uniformity of good government
is a direct result of fearless, impartial
and intelligent legislation, AMI mover
in the political history OF this country
have the times more strenuOusly de-
manded for public service men who
are competent, broad-minded, and
who can be fully trusted to bring
things to pass.
We are exceedingly unfortunate in
having numerous inferior and unwor-
thy candidates aspiring 70 responsible
positions in the gift OF the people,
many Of whom are totally inadequate
TO represent the public in any capac-
ity whatsoever, and every precaution
should be carefully exercised in order
10 effect their defeat at the polls. A
more thorough comprehension may be
attained along this line by closely in
vestigating the past records of many
of our present office-seekers here in
Marion county, as the tree is judged
by the-fruit it bears.
First. in commenting on w. D.
earns candidacy for the Legislature,
We wish to say that nothing produces
greater unpleasantness than the pain
full duty of criticism. However, cir
cumstances very frequently necessi-
tate and justify our attitude in doing
so. and without malice of heart or the
intent to depreciate his favorable &C
Quirements Gf he has any, we ear
nestly believe that it is a duty of vast
importance that we marshal an undi-
yided influence unfavOrable to his
election as our next representative in
the state legislature.
We have no word of criticism rela.
tive to Mr.. earns domestic or private
life, but as a public official he has
proved himself dislOyal unfaithful
and extremely unsatisfactory to a ma
jority Of the citizens of this county
and his action in soliciting their sup
port for the legislature becomes an
unmitigated insult TO their honesty as
American citizens.
Facts which should prompt serious
consideration in the minds OF those
who favor Mr.. Cams candidacy are
especially these: He Is incompetent
selfish and entirely ignorant as to the
most beneficial course TO pursue fOl
the betterment of his constituents
His views upon all political question,
of interest to our citizens are entirely
at variance with invincible reasoning
modern and progressive ideas OF gov
eminent, and we, as citizens Of Ma
rion, cannot afford to jeopardize oul
reputation for refinement, eficienc!
and intellectually in that august bod!
