HERE WE ARE, right on the eve of election. The
smoke of battle to be pretty we'll cleared away,
so that at last see the actual facts Of the
campaign.
Those Facts, when stripped of all bunk and
camoufage, are about as follows
FAWCETT AND RICE ARE SEEKING ELEC-
TION ON THE PLAIN PROPOSITION OF DE-
MANDING FAIR PLAY WITH RESPECT TO THE
CITY POLICE AND ENGINEERING DEPART
MENTS
AT THE OUTSET OF THIS CAMPAIGN
THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS WERE THE CEN
TER OF ATTACK BY THE OPPOSITION
"HARMONY" WAS THE SMOKE SCREEN
BEHIND WHICH THE OPPOSITION WORKED,
AND UNDER WHICH 1T SOUGHT TO TURN
UNINFORMED VOTERS AGAINST THE FAW-
CETT-RICE TICKET.
ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK, AL
MOST AT THE TAIL END OF THE CAMPAIGN
THE OPPOSITION WAS FORCED TO ABAN-
DON IT'S SMOKE SCREEN, BECAUSE THE
FAWCETT-RICE TICKET TURNED TO THE AC-
TUAL RECORDS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND
EXPOSED THE ABSURDITY OF THAT OUT
CRY. THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANYTHING
BUT HARMONY IN THE ACTIONS OF THE
COUNCIL DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS,
EXCEPTING WHERE THE POLICE AND ENGI-
NEERING DEPARTMENTS WERE CONCERNED.
THERE THE LACK OF HARMONY CONSISTED
ONLY IN THE DETERMINATION OF AT LEAST
FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS TO JUDGE THOSE
DEPARTMENTS ON THE GROUNDS OF EFFI-
CIENCY AND COMPETENCY, RATHER THAN IN
THE LIGHT OF POLITICS. THOROUGH INVES-
LEGATIONS OF BOTH DEPARTMENTS SHOW
ED PLAINLY THAT THEY WERE SERVING Ell
CENTRIC BETTER THAN ANY PRECEDING AD-
ILLUSTRATIONS HAD EVER DONE THAT THE
RUMORS GATHERED TOGETHER BY GER
TAIN SMALL FACTION, WERE NOT SUBSTAN-
TIATED BY FACT, THAT FAIR PLAY DEMAND
ED THE RETENTION OF CHIEF OSWALT AND
ENGINEER KNIGHTS.

AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS AS BEING
THE ISSUE OF THE FIGHT.
NEXT THERE FOLLOWED THE "HAR-
MONY" PROGRAM, ALWAYS DISCUSSED IN
THE MOST GENERAL TERMS, and WARNING
VOTERS THAT THE OPPOSITION TICKET WAS
THE ONLY REMEDY FOR A CHAOTIC
COUNCIL.
THEN GAME THE EXPOSURE OF THAT
"HARMONY" OUTCRY, SHOWING ITS REDIC-
ULOUSNESS, AND SHOWING FURTHER THAT
AFTER ALL, AND IN SPITE OF THE BELATED
DECLARATIONS OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE
POLICE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTS,
THE SO-CALLED "HARMONY' PROGRAM
WAS IN REALITY THE ROUNDABOUT MEANS
BY WHICH THE OPPOSITION HAD HOPED TO
GET RID OF OSWALT AND KNIGHTS.
NOW; WHAT ABOUT THE QUAL1FICA-
TIONS OF HERBERT w. FAWCETT AND OF
JOHN T. RICE AS COUNCIL CANDIDATES?
FAWCETT HAS PROBABLY BEEN ONE OF
THE BEST COUNCIL MEMBERS TO COOPER
ATE CONSTRUCTIVELY IN ANY PROGRAM
THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE CITY TO HOLD
OFFICE RECENTLY. HIS DESIRE TO BUILD UP
CITY PARKS, TO IMPROVE THE EQUIPMENT
OF THE STREET DEPARTMENT, HAS BEEN RE-
WARDED WITH ACTUAL ACOOMfLlO1MEN1 l.
FAWCETT HAS THE DISTINCTION OF MAKING
GOOD ON HIS PROMISES. THE EAST SIDE
HAS A VERY SERVICABLE PLAYGROUND AND
CIVIC CENTER. THE STREET DEPARTMENT
HAS PROGRESSED FROM THE OLD HAND
SWEEPER METHODS TO A MODERN, ECON
OMICAL, MOTORIZED DEPARTMENT.
RICE, WHOSE FOUR YEARS ON THE
COUNCIL WERE MARKED BY" GENUINE AC-
COMPLISHMENT, is EASILY THE BEST EQUIP
PED OF ALL THE CANDIDATES TO RENDER
PRACTICAL SERVICE IN PLANNING FOR EX-
PANSION, IN FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF
THE CITY'S WATER AND SEWER DEPART
MENTS. VOTERS WHO KNOW RICE PERSON.
ALLY HAVE UNQUESTIONING FAITH IN HIS
COMPETENCY TO SAVE THIS CITY GREAT
EXPENSE IN IT'S FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS.
In plain language, these foregoing statements
tell the facts of this campaign. The polls open at
700 o'clock Monday morning, April IA, and close
at 100 o'clock that evening" Wilson school, Hard
ing school and the City Hall the three polling
places that will be used

CAKES AND PIES
HAVE PLACE
IN THE DIET
Their Flavorful Goodness
Makes Balanced Meals
Complete

America has made its pastry
popular the world over. And of all
desserts, few can be made in more
pleasing variety than pies and
cakes.
Every normal person should have
pastry frequently, because it helps
balance the diet. A piece Of fruit
pie with q tender crust, or a slice
, Of light textured cake is an ideal
ending to a meal composed of meat,
and vegetables of the leafy as well
rs the starchy sort.
The ingredients and manufacture
ing methods employed by modern
bakers, great and small, insure the
highest quality in these popular
American desserts. Their freshness
can be depended upon and their
price is within reach of all.
A nationally known food chemist
recommends a generous vegetable
salad followed by = piece Of pie,
cake or any similar dessert for
those dieting, in order to reduce
weight. Such a meal ideally salts
Ges the appetite without increasing
weight. A bit Of sweet makes the
meal complete. The Sugar Institute

Modern policemen must devote

Vollmer declared Americas need

when guilty person stands before

Judges and district attorneys, he
contended, should be appointed be
cause there is considerable "po-
litical trickery" in elections. Hon.
