DENIES NAME IS ON
LIGHTING PETITION
Citizen Leaders Would Make

mittee of Taxpayers
Get Out Hand Bill.

David L Guilfoyle. treasurer of the
citizens party during the recent cam
paign. denied Sunday that he had
signed the petition TO the state public
utility commission asking a hearing
on local lighting conditions, or that he
had ever seen the petition.

that might indicate that he was OPP
posed to the undertaking. Guilfoyle
is evidently peeved at his name ap-
pearing in the public print as it has
since the election. He says he knew
that a petition was going, or had
gone to Indianapolis, asking an in
vestigation of lighting conditions
here. but had no part in the under
taking. -
1t developed over Sunday that the
citizens leaders are a1xious TO have

organization that had charge OF the
recent citizens campaign. This is
evidenced by a hand-bill that has
been gotten out. signed committee
of taxpayers" and which will prob
ably be distributed Monday, asking
taxpayers generally to throng the
city hall Monday night and enter a
vigorous protes- against the ratifc&-
ton of any contracts for public light
ing at this time.
The bill goes on TO state that the
awarding of the Indiana & Michigan
Electric company's contract will mean
a loss Of 100000 10 the taxpayers
in ten years. A long list OF figures is
supplied. calculated to prove that as
sertion.
The assertion is also made that
having once ordered an investigation
of the cost OF street lighting. the
council now proposes TO rescind that
action. apparently getting its wires
crossed between the council and the
citizens party's own campaign organ.
Up 10 Sunday night none of the coun-
cilmen had shown a disposition to re-
scind their action of Tuesday night,
even though that "organ" had sug
gested it.

Kelly Coming
Back Dec. l

Fred c. Kelly. the Ohio writer, is
spending the winter in Washington,
and his intimate yarns about the per-
sonal side of national celebrities will
be resumed In the News-Times Dec. l.
Mr.. Kelly has a wide acquaintance
among the big folk who are doing
things at the national capital and he
is equipped with a knack at sizing up
people for their human side. He
writes always with the loud pedal on
the human nature element in folks
the little traits and outcroppings that
comprise the very things our readers
like to know about. From the Kelly
point Of view it really does not matter
a great deal what a senator thinks
about the currency question or
whether he thinks about II at all. But
if he wears a needlessly ornate vest
or does not speak with proper kind
ness TO the family dog when he goes
home evenings. the public is entitled
to know the facts.
You will want 10 follow these Kelly
warns every day. They will not only
interest and instruct but will probably
amuse YOU

ST. WAYNE MAN OUT
FOR STATE TREASURER
George A. Bittle, Member OF State
Board of Accounts, Announces
His Candidacy.

South Bend democracy, and, In
fact. the democracy Of the whole
state, is being appraised these days of
the candidacy of George A. Bittler
of Fort Wayne, member of the state
board OF accounts, for the mamma
ton for state treasurer on the demo-
cratic ticket next year.
Bittler was born in Fort Wayne 30
years ago. Both Fort Wayne news
papers the Journal-Gazette and the
Sentinel, are pressing his candidacy
on the ground, not only Of efficiency.
but because Allen county has not been
accorded an elective state office in
many years.
Gov. Marshall called MIR. Bittler
from among a large field OF candi-
dates in 1909 10 succeed VIM. NJ.
Fogarty OF Indianapolis on the state
board of accounts. Bittler is reputed
TO have made an enviable record in
that capacity.

realizes more fully than Gen. Huerts
the desperate straits OF his govern
ment The financial situation IS the
most serious that Huerta is facing.
Every possible opportunity for rails
ing money is being carefully scrutin-
lied by the department Of finance.
Silver is scarce. and II is feared that
the launching OF one peso and two
peso paper bills throughout the re-
public will not serve 10 restore general
confidence in the banks. Behind each
OF these bills there is presumed TO be
a metal reserve. but there is a fair
proportion OF the public which is
skeptical of this.
Employers OF labor have found
themselves seriously embarrassed by
the shortage Of silver. and their
cashiers are carefully boarding every
coin against payday.
These conditions have resulted in
an increase in the prices of ordinary
commodities. and the best promise
merchants hold out is that there will
be a still further increase.
