KEEP PAY ROLL
AT HOME, DODGE
SAYS AT MEETING
Candidate Tells How TO Make
For Better Times in
Mishawaka.


The closing days Of the local poll
tical campaign are bringing out all
the heavy artillery of both parties.-
Meetings are being held nightly in
halls and in private homes. Billy"
Dodge. democratic cadidate for may
or. and others Of the party candi-
dates spoke 10 an enthusiastic audi
ence of about rs men and women
at the old Baptist church on West
Mishawaka az. last night.
Sounds New Keynote
Billy" Dodge sounded a new key
declared that the mayor of Misha-
waka should help 20 bring business
10 the city. keep the huge payrolls
in the city and work for the city
rather than be a chair warmer and
sign vouchers.
Candidate Billy" Dodge started
after the live issues Of the cam
paign from the very start IL the
gong.
And now, ladies and gentlemen"
said Billy" Il want to tell you
what l mean by better times in
Mishawaka l do not want you 10
think that I. as mayor of Mishawa-
ka, or any other mayor Of one par
Z ticular city would change the world
conditions which brought around
the business depressions of the last
year. These conditions. as you all
know. are world conditions and can
/ not be changed by the administra-
ton of any one city.
I II believe that with proper CO.
/ operation between the city admins
tration and the chamber IF COM
! merce and other civic agencies, a
4 great Improvement in local condi-
tons can be accomplished.
DO you know that 30 per cent
of the weekly payrolls of Mishawaka
is spent outside the city and that
only 80 per cent remains? Do YOU
know that of every 800 paid out to
Mishawaka employees nearly three
fourths OF it goes to other cities?
These figures are not guessworl<
They are absolute figures given me
by Mishawaka bankers.
Proper CO-OpcratlOn Needed
ut is my belief that with prop
er cooperation between the city
administration and merchants and
manufacturers. better state Of af-
fairs can he brought about Through
out the last eight years of the Gay
Tor administration, l believe I can
safely state. that not one industry
has come TO Mishawaka because
Of the mayor or mis- associates. The
new industries that have come here
during that time came in spite of
the city administration rather than
because II it,
Il believe that. with the assistance
OF the mayor and his administration,
working in harmony with and as
sisting business men, merchants and
manufacturers. it will be possible TO
assist in keeping at least a portion
of the money spent in South Bend
and elsewhere. in Mishawaka. and I
further believe that the city ad-
ministration can bring many new
industries TO Mishawaka. This will
give employment to hundreds and
will tend 10 materially improve con
ditions
'Tf 1 am elected your mayor I
/ pledge myself 10 cooperate in ev-
cry possible way with any and all
civic bodies to the end that we can
bring about a manifest improvement
in existing conditions.
Chairman Bingham then intro
duced John Nj. Raab. popular AIish-
awake lawyer ex-soldier and candi-
date for city Judge.
Candidate For City Judge
Mr.. Raab said: THE position Of
+ city Judge offers a large opportuni-
" 10 render real public service Too
frequently the attitude Of those in
authority in the police courts is
such that the humble offender leav-
I as the court room with an impress
sion that it is the other fellows
. court" They never think of il as
their court. They seldom realize that
the court is a place where their
rights as we'll as the other fellows
rights are safeguarded. Teach them
{ this and they are better citizens
with strongr. finer respect for the
law.
If elected 10 TIE office Of city
judge ii Will be my ambition to ad-
minister justice. humanely and et-
