THE TICKETS
REVIEWED
The Relations of the Candidates
to the People

The differences between the Peo-
pies Progressive Improvement tick
ct and the ao-styled Citizens ticket.
Is that the former was nominated by
the people. and represents the peo-
pie, while the former was nominated
by the people. and represents the
people. while the latter was named
BY the bosses, and represents the
bosses. There is not any doubt about
that and it's truth 10 evident At a
glance OF the personnel OF the two
tickets.
II. II. Hubbard Is the nominee for
mayor on the Citizens ticket. He
was first a candidate for city clerk
lured as he said. by the salary or that
ofiiee--but after movement had
been launched for the raise OF the
mayors salary he came out as a nom
inee for mayor. and II is the salary
and the bosses Of which he 10 the
creature, In which he Is interested
and not the people and their welfare.
He maintains an ONCE in the building
of VIM. Dollar. and the convention
which nominated him was controlled
by VIM. Dollar and j. c. White. and
before he was nominated Il was un-
derstood that he would drive TO any
wagon to which they hitched him.
and they are driving him In this cam
paign. and II they elect him they Will
drive him during his administration.
and that means boss rule-genuine
boss rule. So much for Hubbard
and as we go down the line we win
find the same thing.
v. w. Plat Is the cashier OF the
Exchange National bank. OF which
VIM. Dollar Is the president. He Il
subject to Dollars beck and call, NOT
only in business. but In q political
way as has been evidenced by his two
years administration A. treasurer, ia
which Office he now seeks a re-elee-
ton. and IL elected It means that the
treasury will remain where It il. and
II means, as of old, that there win b.
no quartely publication of a state,
ment to let the people know how
their money has been spent.
James Edwards. the candidate for
city engineer Is the creature OF VIM
Dollar and J. C. White. who succeed.
ed in discovering him. and nomin,
ating him. after the people had mo-
only tried to forget him, but his worl
as city engineer, and when the cleo
ton day comes they will continue t.
remember his work but forget hi
candidacy and vote for Wright.
w. j. Mcclure Is also bound hand
and feet 10 the ring--tied down un
till he Is unable TO move. and II wal
only upon this condition that he wa
given the nomiation, and IL he 4
elected It means that he will wea
the Dollar brand and the little REL
collar just like all the other candi
dates on that ticket.
Peoples Candidates independent.
But II is different with the PEG
pies Progressive improvement tick
ct. Every one OF its candidates ar
independent and free and owe no al
legianee to any one but the peopl
whom they represent. The charge ha
been made that Boyd Hamilton, tn
candidate for mayor, Is controlled b.
J.. T. Carroll. but the absurdness o
this charge must be apparent to ey
cry one at a glance. The two mel
have no business interests In com
mon. Hamilton is identified witt
: one Of the strongest banks In tn
city. He Is an independent man no
only In q financial sense Of the word
but In every other sense Of the word
The salary OF the mayors ofic
means nothing to him as he is veal
thy. and he has nothing in eOmmo
in business or any other way Wit
any man or set Of men that woul
make him subservient to them n
Is not that kind of a man.
Judge Geo Steele for treasurer.
also independent. and Is under oh
legation to no one man. or clique q
men. and Is In a position to serv
the people In every respect. and {
comply with all the provisions Of n
Law governing the duties Of his Of
