1000 VOTE COUPONS IN FRIDAYS ISSUE
'MATH ISSUES
HIS PLATFORM
FOR THECOUNCIL
Wants Clerk And Treasurer Elect
ed BY The Voters Of The
City

Announcing that he stands on a
platform calling for the election of
city clerk and treasurer, tax asses
sors and members of the board of
education, w. r. McMath, candidate
for alderman. issued the following
statement today:
TO the Voters Of Americus: -
When you read this, ali candidates
for whom you will cast vote on
November Sth will be in the race.
A great many Of you will know each
cf them personally. The question
that principally concerns you is, who
represents your political views? You
have . right to know just what each
candidate stands for, and how he
contemplates handling your affairs.
"Americus is a good town Its
people are up-to-date and progress
sive. Every one is anxious to sec
1t grow and prosper, and above all
we are anxious to leave our homes
and children as near debt-free as
possible. ! realize that all depart
ments of the city must be maintain
ed, and our Indebtedness paid, and
this can be done. Then our taxes
should be reduced.
In soliciting your vote as cam
didatc for alderman it is a pleasure
to tell you for what | stand.
al. If elected my official acts
will be controlled by our charter
and the oath of office l take. The
charter Of Americas gives US the
right to have aldermen, tax people,.
maintain public schools, and all 9TH
er departments Of the city. We
should be governed by its provisions.
When we do this, our debts can be
paid, employees receive a living wage
and taxation reduced.
80. | believe in Democratic
form of government. l therefore be-
licve that our clerk and treasurer,
our tax assessors, and members of
the board of education should be
elected by the people.
why make of the office of clerk
and treasurer a political football?
This officer collects our money, then
why not give the voters an oppor-
trp1ity Ito elect him?
Why not give Mr.. and Mrs. Vot-
er a chance at some of our tax asses
sSrs?
"Why make of any of our offices
political football?
Many of us remember when our
police department was bound up in
politics. This was the case until
Old Man People woke up and knock
cd a cog out of the political ma
chine, and provided for police COM
mission elected by the people to han
die this department.
IS. l am opposed to an income
tax, such as was provided for in
the city manager bill recently voted
upon.
"a. / am opposed to placing one
cent of taxation'on any mans labols
! have reference to all trades where
the earnings are derived wholly BIZ
labor. We must never pass law
making man a criminal because he
wants to work.
"In concluding this statement let
ME say to the laboring man, TO the
business man, to the home owner, 20
the ladies, that if these principles Of
government are the ones for which
you stand, then actively support the
who espouse theri open
ly. l say this because 1 realize that
some of our Entiquated methods of
handling city affairs are deep root
ed, and it requires hard, steady
pull to uproot them. Respectfully,
"W T. M'MATH.

tant State items. We have told
you of the sickness of your rela-
tives and friends, and when
Death has knocked at your door,
we have written words of conso-

Editor News

I have just read in the News
an account of the death Of Miss
Tip Saunders. This brings to
my mind many reflections. In
1886, when moved to Louisville,
to become the pastor of the Port
land Avenue Christian Church,
Miss Tip" as she was always
called, was the treasurer of that
church, and remained 80 for
many years afterwards Her
father died about the time l
moved there, in November, and
his funeral was the first one l
ever assisted in conducting, for
this was my first pastorate.
She was a noble christian wom-
an, and was always held in the
highest esteem by all who knew
her, rich and poor, great and
small. She was never married,
and was one of very women
that could get off more fun at
the expense of "old maids" than
any woman l ever saw. She
was brainy, witty and sweet
spirited. And now after the
lapse of all these years, in loving
memory l want to lay a wreath
upon her grave.
This also brings to mind some
things connected with the San
ders" Academy, as her fathers
school was called. My dear
father attended this Academy,
and he and Tip were about the
same age. There were some
young men who attended that
school that in after years made
some among the greatest men OF
Kentucky. One of these whose
name | recall was the late Elder
John S. Sweeney. He was pos
sibly the greatest religious po-
lemic this country ever had.
When in the early eighties when
he held meetings for the Christ
ian Church in Columbia, he had
then held over 100 public de-
bates all over the u. S. He
was for something like 80 years
the pastor of the Christian
Church in Paris, KY, then one
of the largest Churches of this
faith in the brotherhood. He
was elected Treasurer, q believe
it was) during the stormy Goe-
bel days, but never took his seat,
as / remember.
An amusing incident took
place while young Sweeney was
in the Sanders Academy. which
/ have heard him tell himself.
There was a very large over
bearing young man in the Acad-
emy by the name of Redmon,
who took a dislike to a small fell
low student, whose name l have
forgotten. But at every recess
of the SCHOOL, Redmon would be-
