| If Rudolph's judgment for four
Years was so satisfactory to the peo-
pie of his ward, wouldn't the expert
ence he has gained i'm that time be a
lnetty good thing for him in the po-
s!tion of president of the council? It
usually takes man one term to be-
came acquainted with the manner in
which things have to be accomplish
ed. The Democratic candidate for
president of the body which spends
Marion's money, knows how to ac-
oomplish things and has the courage
to proceed when he feels that he is
right. The Democrats Of Marion will
make no mistake by electing Jake
Rudolph
City Treasurer.
| Democracy's candidate for city
treasurer. Charles w. Criswcll. IS one
Of the wheel-horses of the party. He
has always been going TO the front
FOR his party and is one Of those i'm
and out of season workers who con-
stitute the dependable element of the
party which acknowledges the rooster

| The office of city treasurer is not
one that calls for all of ones atten-
tion, but it does require accuracy and
faithfulness and If anybody in Mar
ion is better qualified. or more honest
than Charley Criswel the fact has
not yet been made known.
| City Auditor.
VIM. ]. Flies. Jr., hardly needs an
introduction to the people of Marion.

against the world and, having been
brought up in an atmosphere of
Democracy that knows no compromise,
It isn't strange that his political be-
Lefs are of the plain, old-fashioned
kind that make his opinions respected
whether they may be agreed with or
lot.
BILLY" Fies is now occupying re-
sponsible position with the Ste m
Shovel company. Just before the re-
cent primaries some of his friends
got TO wondering why he wouldn't bc
Just the man for city auditor. The
thing was suggested to him and, be-
| ing always ready to serve his party,
| he accepted and was nominated. Hav-
| ing been associated in business with
his father for number of years he
has an extensive acquaintance and is
noted for his honesty, uprightness

an ideal city auditor and his campaign
will make the opposition situp and
| take notice.
City solicitor.
When It came to making a selec-
| ton for city solicitor, the Democrats
had trouble. They wanted Fred Il.
CUTLERY to the the nomination. MIR.
CUTLERY to take the nomination. Mr..
| for the place and didn't want to sac
rlfice any of his splendid practice, but
finally decided that, as he had always
been Democrat, he wouldn't let his
party go begging If it demanded his
nomination. No other Democratic at
torney would run against him in the
primaries for the reason that they
realized that the city interests could
not be placed i'm any better hands
than those of Mr.. CUTLERY. They
realized that many grave problems
are likely to arise within the next
two years and they wanted man
at the head of the ci,y's legal depart
ccpted as almost final. They wanted
q man whose. success I'm his own
practice spelled safety for the city.
And that's the kind of man they nom
mated. Mr. Guthery's election is con-
ccded. but every Democrat Is urged
to whoop up his majority to the end
that he will feel in making a sacrifice
lie is doing 1t for people who really
appreciate him.
| Councilmanic Ticket.
Perhaps never in the history Of the
local Democracy has II selected such
IA strong counclmanic ticket as ap-
Iears this year. Councilmanlc timber
IS found in every grove. The city
council is the money-spendn body
ot the city. 1t appropriates and 1t
spends the funds raised by taxation.
| 7 he life of Il councilman is anything
Ilut a sweet, peaceful dream. Your
councilman who does his duty Is the
fellow who leaves his work, which
lIays perhaps four dollars day, to
so poliing around in alleys, examining
sewers, investigating all sorts of pub
lie work. The work he does in meet
ings is but a small part of his real
work. The councilman who makes
personal Investigations and then
spends two or three nights a week
attending committee meetings, very
frequently has but little to say in a
regular council meeting. That Is why
he is frequently misjudged.
| In the first ward the Democrats
have renominated W. l.. Ullom for
councilman. Mr., Ullom is employed
at the Huber works and Is engaged
in the grocery business. lie is one
of the most level-headed, strong,
