PLACE DUTY TO
CITY FOREMOST.
These men signed a declaration as fol-
lows:
eve the undersigned Republicans have
given serious consideration to the pres
ent city election, realizing what the con-
duct Of our city's affairs during the next
four years means TO US as taxpayers
and citizens.
"As a result we have determined to
vote for and in every way support Boyd
NJ Ralston, the Democratie candidate for
mayor.
.To most Of US the support Of Dem
ocrat is a new experience. We belleve
In the Republican party. We believe III
party regularity but in this campaign
we believe our duty to the city OF In
dienapolis transcends our duty TO party
and party regularity.
sHr Ralston is clean; upright and
honest in his private life. He is sup
NOTED by the very best element of the
Democratic party and we have every
assurance that his administration will
he composed of competent, efficient. hon
est, abiding men
1--WE. therefore, pledge ourselves to his
candidacy and urge all other Republicans
to vote for Ralston on election day..
LYNN ISSUES
STATEMENT.
In addition, Mr.. Lynn issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"There are thousands of Republicans
in Indianapolis who believe that the
best interests of the whole city will be
served by the election of Boyd NJ. Rails
ton as mayor Of Indianapolis. 1t is the
purpose of the group Of Republicans who
have volunteered 10 be sponsors for the
Republican movement for Ralston' to ex-
tend to all Republicans the opportunity
of ali organized effort to save Indianapo-
lis by voting for RalstOn.
indianapolis has not forgotten the
conditions that existed when Shank was
mayor. Neither has the outside world
forgotten the unfortunate reputation
which the Shank regime gave to Indian
apolis. Men and women who do not want
to be made ashamed of their city feel
that Shank should not again be intrusted
with the administration OF the city 8
affairs
1--WE do not regard this .as a political
question-certainly not a partisan mat
ter The safety, welfare and good name
OF Indianapolis are at stake. Under such
conditions there should be neither Re
publicans nor Democrats. We are all
citizens and we owe a duty to the com
munity that is greater than any pos
sale obligation to a political party.
tThe Republican movement for Rails
tegk is, therefore, a good citizen move
mAnt, wholly devoid OF personal or polit-
zeal antagonism, but with the sole purpose
OF helping to put at the head of the city s
affairs a man known to be committed
to provide a clean and efficient admins
tration, whose personal record is such
as to warrant full confidence in his sin
cerity and his responsibility.
I'VE invite all Republicans who take
this view Of the situation to visit our
headquarters and to enroll themselves as
a part Of the Republican movement for
Ralston."
