g.. SEVERAL INDIANA BROTH
ERHoODS. FAVORS THE DEMO

reasons for believing that labor should
supporf President Wilson for re.elcc.

In answer to a large number of in
qulrlcs addressed to me as to which
political party the wage earners OF
the state should support, ! beg to an
swer that the wage earnors should
support the party which in it's funda-
mental policies and its legislation has
done most to promote the welfare OF
the laboring classes.
In my opinion that party serves
hest the whole country which, by It's
legislation. gives to all classes the
opportunity to employ their talents
and ability and to enjoy the fruits OF
their toll. In the attainment of the
end. compared with the legislation OF
any other political party in recent
years the democratic party in its leg
islative achievements stands pre-eml-
nently the best friend of the wage
earning classes.
make the assertion backed by the
specific enactments of a democratic
administration which speak for them
selves.
Since March 4. 1913. democratic
congress has enacted more than TWEEN
ty five laws directly In the interest OF
labor. and chief among these laws
mention the following specifically:
The trades dispute act embracing
the relation of labor organizations tc
the anti laws of the country
the regulation of the issuance Of IN
functions and the guaranty of the
right of trial by jury for alleged con
tcmpts committed out Of the presence

cause Iaboring people to flock TO his

more for them. 1t Is the laboring
people who have to race the guns OF
the enemy in time of war.

attitude toward labor, is his stand for

Jacob S. Coxey, of Massillon, O.,

"Coxey's army" of unemployed on a
long march to Washington, filed pa

Independent candidate for United

the long tramp which began at Masil-

at the steps of the capitol OF the
United States in Washington. The
soldiers of the army carried slaves
for weapons and all sorts of things for
banners. When they attempted as

MAYOR BRUNBY ISSUES
ANOTHER STATEMENT
To the citizens of Marietta.

y NuG CiilL6uS Oh MARIETTA.
In an article in answer to my card
of Feb. 25th, two members of the
Board of Water and Lights make the
charge in the last paragraph, that
the attitude of Mayor Brumby has
resulted in blocking the plans the
Board had for increasing our water
supply and this will probably result
in an increase Of insurance rates
which will amount to between ST..
600 and $4,000 per annum, and the
citizens OF Marietta will have to pay
it," My attitude" as they express
it, was merely to demand upon tax
ing office that this Department have
complete audit made by a Public
Accountant, of its present condition,
as none has been made for three
years, and that said audit be made
public. viii those gentlemen please
tell the citizens of Marietta why 4
request for an audit and publicity is
going to raise the insurance rates
Legal or not legal, an audit is being
made, and my attitude" caused it.
Did they not know last year, be-
fore | took office, that unless they
secured better supply of water for
fire protection that the rate of In
surance for the City Of Marietta
would be raised?
Do they not know that this in
crease in rate was ordered by the In
surance Companies last December,
and that is has been largely through
the efforts of Mr.. j. H. Groves. 4
member Of the present Council and
their Beard, that this matter has
been held off until now?
Why did such good business
man as the writer of their card pay
81 100000 for Lighting Franchise
when they are 30 badly in need of
water? 1t can not be said that the

z RURAL ROUTES To
Be ADDED TO SERVICE

The unceasing efforts made by
Senator Hardwick, Congressman
Gordon Lee and Hon. Z. H. Clay have
been fruitful and we will soon have
our mail routes in good shape. Mrs
Clay has received word from Wash
ington that two more routes will be
added to the Marietta Postoffice just
as soon as the routing can be rear
ranged One of the three carriers
that was removed has been put to
work at Smyrna and this will take
care of the other two, it is thought.
Mrs. Clay says that she does not yet
know whether the instructions will
come. from Washington or will be
left to her.
When these routes are added prac-
tically everybody who formerly got
their mail through the Marietta post
office will again be served from hero.
A few will probably be left on the
Smyrna route which is regarded by
the post office officials as an i'm
provement over the old system.
The Journal has suffered more
than anybody because we have
larger amount of local mail than any
other concern in Cobb County and we
trust that within a few weeks we
will be able t let every body read
their Journal a cay or so sooner. We
have done what we could to help get
them re-established and warned the
public a year ago that the routes
would be stopped So Let's all cheer
up and look forward to better mail
service than ever.
