HE LIKES M. JOYCE.

East Chicago, Ind, Sept 8, 1909.
Editor, THE TINES
1t take pleasure in announcing to
the citizens of the First Ward of East
Chicago, the name of Mr.. John Joyce,
candidate for alderman of the First
ward. subject to republican primaries.
Mr.. Joyce was born of Irish parents
in Porksburg. W. Va. in the year 1861.
and was educated in the parochial
schools at Letonia. o.
He is an absolute master of pudding,
the same with regard to heating, bush
ling, etc, and has been for over seven
years, and is now head of the pudding
and bushling department of the Re-
public Iron & Steel company of this
city
The voters of the First ward are to
be congratulated in the fact OF hav-
ing such a good, big man for alder
man, because the office requires a man
big in mind as well as in body. Mr..
Joyce is big in every way. and as there
is likely to be some big "doings" in
the next four years, 1t will require a
big man to handle things in a big way.
Such man we have in Mr.. Joyce.
Look at the policy he is advocating
and proclaiming. Honest government
and judicuous economical use of the
city funds for all legitimate purposes
along the lines of progress, which the
City of East Chicago is justly entitled
as fifth ratescity.
Mr.. Joyce is also big in denouncing
any and all useless expenditures of
city funds, other than those Of abso-
lutte necessity. He is a big taxpayer,
having over $4,000 worth of real es-
tate holdings in this city. There is no
wonder that he wants to be in the
council where he can protect his prop
erty against any useless extravaganza
of the citys funds.
Mr. Joyce has pledged himself. if
elected (Which is sure go), he will
devote his best energies to reduce the
expense of managing and governing
our city in all its affairs. This he will
do without fear or favor.
This fact alone should inspire the
voters of the First ward to vote for
/ him, because it is of vital Importance
! to us all. So let's get busy boys!
l understand there is going to be
| hundreds of thousands of dollars spent
In improvements within the next few
years for streets and other improve
| ments, and 1t is not prudent on your
part. and on my part, to see that we
| get some one In the council to watch
] our interests.
We can select no better man for such
a position than Mr.. Joyce. because as
| property owners. our interests are
| identical. But if we elect a man who
| does not own home. what need he
care whether property is. or was as
| sessed 81 a foot or s12 a foot? 1t would
make no material difference to him.
I have never been convinced why a
property owner should not have the
preference in such cases as these where
ability is equal 1 would like to say
that Mr.. Joyce is highly appreciated,
| not only by the company he represents,
but also by the men who work for
him, where on many occasions they
have testified their high regards for
him. I think it only my duty to say
to the voters of the First ward that if
Mr. Joyce is elected as alderman he
will bring to the office an experience
such as IS seldom seen on account OF
his extensive knowledge of men and
affairs.
He has always taken an active in
test in our city's affairs. but in 9
modest way and he would surprise
some of our smart Allies were they t.
talk to him about the present and pas
administration.
Respectfully,
JAMES MCCOY.
