THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

o say can you see, by the dawn early
light
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright store,
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched, were so
CALAMITY streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
busting in the air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there;
0 say, does that star-spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home
of the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the
midsts of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silent reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER the
touering steep,
AS is fitfully blows, now conceals, now
discloses?
Now is catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on
the stream;

IGOE ASSAlLS CITY HALL GANG
-GETS APPLAUSE

James T. IgOe, Democratic candi-
date for city clerk, has been proving
an attractive drawing card for the
Democratic ticket. His two-fsted
attacks on the Thompson-Lundin po-
Iitical machine have stirred up the
old Grassland style of applause.
Igoe has this to say Of the City Hall
gang:
Every voter opposed to the ma
chine rule of the combination in
power at the City Hall should go to
the polls Tuesday morning and cast
their ballots for the candidates who
stand for the same thing they do
the reputation of the Thompson
machine.
Nobody realizes the Importance
of this election to them stronger
than the Thompson crowd. A repu-
diatiOn- now means the wrecking of
this machine. That is the reason
why every man and woman opposed
to it should vote against it Tuesday.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-03-30

Defeat their candidates at this cleo
ton and Big 'Billism is cast into the
discard"
IgOe then explained how important
it was for the machine to grab the
city clerks office, so they might have
control of the filing Of candidates and
in that way keep the Lundin men at
the head of the Republican ticket

MAYOR BRUMBY AND
MR.. WALLACE OFF
WATER BOARD
Bill Not Yet Signed BY Gov.
Dorsey Who Wants To
Hear Complaint.

Politics will be politics, especially
in Marietta. A few weeks ago a
local bill was advertised to abolish
the water board of the city of Mari
eta. AS soon as this was known
those opposed to such a move adver-
tised one to remove the Mayor and
chairman of the water works COM
mittee of council from the water
board. The first bill did not get
through the legislature but the sec
ond bill did And now Mr. Brumby
and Mr. Wallace are not members of
the Board of Lights and Water Works
and its up to somebody to make the
race for these positions.
So far as is known the entry list
for these positions is not at all crowd
ed. 1t seems that number of citi-
zens prefer the trenches of Europe
as less dangerous than being MEM
Der of the water board in Marietta,
but some brave patriot may yet de-
clare his willingness to take a
chance.
Mayor Brumby and Mr.. Wallace
are indignant over this action as
they will automatically be off this
board when their term expires the
first of next year, unless they run
in the municipal primary this fall
and are reelected. They feel that
the bill should have given them some
notice and also claim it was not
properly advertised before its pas
sage. The supporters of the bill
claim that it was properly advertised
and is perfectly all right.
Governor Dorsey is holding the
bill up until he can hear from those
who oppose it and petition is being
circulated asking him to veto it.

IF GERMANY WINS THE WAR
(From the New York World.)

(From the New York WORLDLY
If Germany wins the war, the
world will not be fit place for de-
cent human beings. We read tales
of the pirates of the Spanish Main
who made their victims walk the
plank, but no rover who ever sailed
the seas under the black flag ever
committed more dastardly crime
than did the commander of the Ger
man submarine who lined up thirty
eight prisoners on his deck and then
submerged his vessel, leaving them to
drown in the sea. To call submarine
warfare piracy is no figure of speech
it falls somewhat short of the mark.
