JOHN SCHNEIDER FOR MAYOR
A well organized movement for
the purpose OF having John schiud-
Ter run for the mayoralty of Mish-

under way; strong pressure being
brought to bear upon him from the
most unexpected sources.
Should he be prevailed upon to

Realizing that Mishawaka wants an
free from the stigma
OF favoritism. and that Mr.. Schind-
Ter possesses the qualifications
necessary to give AIishawaka an ad-
ministration without this feature
which has characterized it for the
past eight years. we believe John
SCHNEIDER is eminently fitted TO FIJI
the bill in every particular.
Born in Mishawaka SO years ago.
he belongs 20 a family that has done
much toward the successful devel-
opment Of the city. The firm with
which his name is associated is
synonymous with uprighteousness'
integrity and fair dealing. No
Young man in Mishawaka can num-
Der as many friends as does John
SCHNEIDER. For two recent years he
held the position OF president of the
Miami Country club. position
which brought him into daily con-
tact with the men who have made
NIishawaka famed throughout the
land.
Temperamentally. we believe Mr..
SCHNEIDER is fitted for the honor TO
an unusual degree. He has no axes
to grind. He possesses a strong per-
sonality and he is-well. John
SCHNEIDER.
His presence in the city hall
would, we anticipate, do much
toward removing that stigma which
has characterized the every act of
the Gaylor administration and which
has made the city hall a one-man
employment house for political kin
