Mrs. Whiting statement.
Delander,s Platform.

To the Voters of the City of Mar
ion. Ohio:
Being a candidate for councilman
at-large, / think II proper that the
voters OF Marion should known what
I stand for II elected / mprogres-
sive in my views but not to the ex-
tent of being radical. l believe in
public improvements but not to the
extent of over-burdening the tax pay
ers with taxes believe there should
lie reason and discretion used in pub
lie improvements.
believe that the outlying districts
should have their share of public i'm
provementS / believe that an indi-
yidual should have the same rights
and privileges as a corporation. l am
in favor Of a new city building and in
favor of city ownership OF public
works ms far as 1t is profitable to the
city. l believe that one public park
property improved would be better,
and sufficient for the city of Marion
than three pieces of land not improv-
ed and called parks.
l believe that a city market prop
erly conducted. would be a benefit to
the people OF the city, but II 1t cost
thirty dollars in salary to collect ele-
ven dollars In ,-rept | believe 1t
should be closedA ] believe that the
Park superintendent should be hired
for six months commencing April first
and ending October. first as there is
nothing TO do In PARKS in winter
time. believe in strict enforcement
CT the law but do not believe In show
ing any favoritism in enforcing the
law.
IL elected will endeavor honestly
10 carry out these principles.

divide and conquer is the slogan of Big
Business in it's fight for the election of corporation at
torneys and other reactionary delegates to the Cons
tutional Convention.
If the people are to secure for Ohio Progressive

1t is the earnest hope of the Ohio Progressive
League that the people of Marion County with all subor
dnate personal and party preferences if need be- and
unite in their support of Mr. H. r. Snyder for delegate to
the Constitutional Convention.
We are confident that Mr.. Snyders influence would
always count in that Convention the side of the peo
pie and it may be that his vote will be sorey needed to
resist the corporation lobby that will certainly under
take to frame the Constitution in the interest of the
big monopoly business of the State.

Mr.. Bowser returned TO the sitting

and the receipt in his hand, and after
struttlng up and down for five min
utcs he communicated the affair to
Mrs. Bowser.
"Yes, thought So" she quietly re-

"Well, when was IN there the other

Mr.. Bowser looked at her q minute,
and then his face began to pale and
his hair to curl. without word he
put on his hat and left the house.
Bowser Hot on Trail.
The butcher was In his shop. There
was private confidential confab last

disappeared. A few minutes later the
butcher himself appeared at the Bow

Mrs. Bowser:

going for the country at gait Of

Bowser intends TO pursue him for at

he isn't home for a month or two you

And while Mrs. Bowser and the cat
turned out the lights and went &c

midnight she was aroused by tele-
phone call, and on going to the instru.
ment voice inquired:
