0 nrinx EE li iilsir mm a TvV (OF UMII(Q)M Having served the people of Union City one term of two years as Mayor and being sensible of an everlasting obligation to the many friends who upheld me and the board of aldermen in the conduct of municipal affairs and the public generally for their courteous treatment and fairminded consideration in our several and mutually agreeable pub lic and personal relations, I feel it my duty to offer my services, for a second term and a priviledge to ask an indorse ment at the hands of the voters of the corporation. v ; Every voter and every person in Union City is invited to investigate my record. The records are public property and you will be welcome to examine them. You are no doubt aware of the fact that with the revolution of values since the war it is far more expensive to make public improvements, yet without an increase in assessments or the rates of taxation the board has been able to sustain a very fair average in city extensions and maintenance, including the schools, streets, water and light plant, etc. It is indeed a source of gratification that with the complex responsi bilities of taking care of both public and individual interests we have been able to mantain the proper measure of discretion and judgment necessary in all cases; at least I feel that approximately we have met the issues. I want to further express my pleasure in the fact that the women of Union City, especially those who feel the need of woman's suffrage, will be permitted to vote in the next municipal election. I am, first of all, an open and an avowed advocate of equal suffrage for men and women. I feel that with the good women especially rests the puri fication of the ballot box. I am sincere in this, and whatever the result of the present campaign I will always have the utmost confidence in the good sense and good judgment of the women of Union City. Trusting that you will fairly and justly measure my claims, I abide your will and pleasure. Respectfully, . IFo Lo IPfiTlMAM,; CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR. THE COMMERCIAL Marshall & Balrd, Union City, Tenn.
