Today IL an important day for An
dersoL. rho sovereign voters will de-
clare who shall be their officials for
th" next two years. or rather will
thin the stand to two in q hill" which
in almost every case will be equiv
alent of an election. as the leading
candidate is very frequently tie win
ner in the second primary.
This Is an important duty for ti,o
voter to perform. Never has there
been time in the history or this city
when abl" and progressive men were
needed more TO carry on the work
now IN progress than the present
Anderson is now being advertised
Tar and wide as the most progressive
city Of the Piedmont reputation
much coveted b, ether progressive
ciiics and towns OF the up-country
As result OF this truthful adyertis-
Ing. Anderson Is the recipient of
much that Is desired and desirable.
Nothing. therefore. should be done to
thwart the efforts Of those who are
responsible for this advance and eyi-
dent progress.
II Is The truth that much can be done
by the officials of city to foster It's
growth. and much can he done by them
TO hinder IT,. Who Of the men aspir-
ing to official position. is the most
progressive? Which has the good of
the city most at heart and will devote
most time and energy to the perform
ance OF his duty as an official? Vo-
ter, you know who It is. Vote for
him.
There has been much lost in this
campaign by threshing over dead is
sues. what the people OF Anderson are
most interested In just now is not who
has been in favor OF granting fran
clii5e or OF installing a white way. but
who VIII 10 most for t. r..:urt growth
OF the city. These things have been
done. Nothing now can undo them.
What is needed now is the foresight to
get at son cthing else that will be
instrumental to further progress for
the city. Let the new council fight
for and not against progressive ideas.
Let them bring more capital here to
further add to the volume of business
done. Let them offer to the public such
clean city, such educational advan-
tages. and such advantages for the
hOme-seeker as shall be an induce
ment for people to continue to flock
here TO make their homes. These
things are In the power Of tho pro-
vince OF city council. and should be
| uppermost in the minds of the voters

day
Each man out for place sliou,ti be
measured by the STANDARDS OF efficient
service and upright ideals President

Honesty and that mental attitude
which inclines a man to'give square

ability, make good officer
This paper doesn't carry u city tick

idence and to trust to the people Sc
lcctive sense Is a newspapers task and
less than that Is immoral; more than
is tyrannical. The people OF Ander-
son are informed on the records OF the
men who are today courting the ballot,
and by their knowledge OF the records
