VOTE RIGHT.

| Election is tomorrow Tuesday,
| Up to last Wednesday nothing was
doing in this city; but now it is evil
| dent that our citizens are waking up
to the gravity of the situation. This
/ is not by any manner of means a
/ fight between the two old parties
democrat and republican. but it IS a
clean cut issue between AMERICAN
ISM and SOCIALISM. 1t is the duty
of every voter who has the welfare
of our city at heart to lay aside bust
ness for day and until shutdown
Tuesday evening, work to the end
that Americanism wins by decisive
majority.
Bgry whatever prejudices you may
have on account of politics or fancied
wrongs in the past, and let not the
good name of our city be disgraced
by even suggestion that there will
ever come time when its emblem
shall be the RED FLAG.
There is only one way to pre-
vent it and that is for every
citizen who desires this CITY to
continue on the list of clean,
progressive cities of Wisconsin
to GET OUT AND WORK AND TO SEE
THAT EVERY VOTER GOES TO THE
POLLS AND THAT HE VOTES RIGHT;
as the PILOT thinks, this is the most
important election that has been
held in Wausau since its organiza-

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims
|. A. ANoEREs

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained BY treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the Instructions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption hy the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends Of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment. and so sue
cesSful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.

At the Mayors direction an eXamina-
ton was made of the preliminary esti-
mates by the City Chamberlain. Henry
Bruere, in order that the several re-
quests should be made to conform 70
the general policy of the administration
and requests made for respective de-
partments formulated with considcra-
ton OF the needs OF other departments.
Last year. at tho suggestion of Mr..
Bruere, Mayor Gaynor directed the vari-
Gus heads of departments to sub
nit estimates for their requirements
within the allowances OF the current
year. The purpose in making the sug-
gestion was to compel the departments
to give attention to every opportunity
for economy. As Mr.. Bruere explains,
In the past IL has been easier to obtain
additional funds for new work than 70
ind those funds 10y elimination of I'M
necessary expenditures.
Relative to the 1915 executive budget
Mr.. Bruere says:
Tho mere statement Of the amount
of money required to maintain the
Mayors departments is the least part
OF the executive budget idea. The dol
lars and cents merely express a sum

years work and reflect the current i'm
prorcmcnts in ways of doing the city
business and extensions in It's services.
1T Is not possible OF course for any
Mayor or any head " department to
determine what he will do in the coming
year. Departmental activities are fixed
by the charter and multitude OF
special laws. but. within legal require
ments, 1t is possible for the responsible
administrators TO determine, by insist
ing upon efficient and businesslike prac-
tees. how much It will cost 10 do the
work committed to the respective de-
partmcnts.
From the beginning Of the year the
Mayor has had under way. first, the
study and reorganization Of each de-
partment by the responsible commits
sioner. and, second. a general survey of
tho organization and methods of all de-
partments under his control Step by
step outworn and cXtravsgant ways of

1T is significant that the Mayors
executive budget this year was cut
$4,000 despite the fact that $500 900 was
added for the extension OF social SER
vices. This is the meaning OF the new
order OF business and is the goal toward
which the administration Is striving
namely, by eliminating waste and
thoughtless, useless or mere habltual
expenditure to provide funds for the
very urgently needed social service ac-
tivities OF the government.
