CANDIDATE MIX
GIVES DOT STATEMENT
Says He is Ready if People Of
MihSaWaka Want Him to
Continue Work That He
Started.

NJ. w. Mix. democratic candidate for
mayor. in an authorized interview
stated that he had consented to place
his services at the command OF the
citizens. in case they desired. at the
earnest request OF NishawalIa's lead
ing democrats and representatives and
citizens ut large, regardless of nation
al party affiliations who have insisted
that he is the one man who could best
complete the work which has been SO
ably carried on under his own and
subsequent democratic administrations
. of making Mishawaka a city worth
while
Away back in 1900 the improve
ments which have made MishawalSa n
leader among the smaller cities of the
country were begun, and have been
slowly but surely carried TO compile
ton. Mr. Mix feels that the demo-
cratic party has a right 10 be proud
of the record it has made and the re-
suits II has accomplished. For every
cent spent full value has been Sc
cured; no city has ever gotten better
value for its money. as municipal ad
ministrations are carried or under the
present law, no justlfiable criticism can
be made
The assessed valuation of property
N
friendly assessor. has increased from
$2.912.17O in 1903 to $5.518.370 in
1913. and this increase is largely due
to the improvements which make
AIishawaka what il is. Sewers, pave
ments water works. lights. paid fire
department. new city hall, pure water
supply all achievements of democratic
administrations-dem policies.
Mr.. Mix believes the people Will
IVA nj ~ u rtrhf nIa hos NH 9 N
ed all this to continue the work. Mr..
Mix states that the same standards Of
economy and efficiency which have
marked his previous administrations
and which he employs in his own
business, will be used in administra
ting the affairs of the city. if he is
called to the work FIe stated that he
is prepared to serve the people Of
Mishawaka with all the energy and
and that he will be on the job every
day during the four years Of his term,
If his services are desired.
Asked whether his other interests
would in any way affect his serving
the city. he replied: II believe they
will enable me TO serve more effective
ly through the experience and knowl-
edge am constantly gaining
through them. 1t is not how much
time a man spends on the job. but
how we'll he works while he is on IT,
Whatever time is necessary TO spend, l
will spend"
Mr.. Mix believes in running a city
on the same lines as business dol
lars value for every dollar spent
not a cent spent that is not absolutely
necessary. and above all a broad and
sympathetic understanding of the
needs and wishes Of all the people.
As a final word Mr. Mix said. IF
the people of Mishawaka want me, I
am ready"
