Democrats Meet
The Charter party came in foi p.
strong arraignment from Edgar W.
Lank, chnirman of the Democratic
citv committee at a meeting at Six
teenth nnd Wolf streets He described
the new pnrty as u "mougiel, '
'"Hie pin pose of the Chnrtei party,"
said Air Lank, "is not to elect a
man who will be of some benefit to the
citv, but to defeat the Democrats for
the minontj place on the Bonid of
Countv Commissioner and the Demo
cratic candidates for the three minority
magistrates. And it is the purpose of
Vnre men to use. that ticket to elect
n low counciliuen,
"I believe it is our duty to convince
our neighbors that the Charter pnrty
ticket Is not nu honest ticket. Our
guns Khould be leveled nt tbe Mac
Lnughllu ticket nnd If wo win the
minority plnrcs, ns we nre entitled to
win them, Instead of having 100,000
Democratic xotcs. In the presidential
campaign of 1020, wc will have ISO,
000 otes "
Chairman Lnnk's attack on the Char
ter party was virtually n repudiation
of the ncccptance by Franklin A
Smith, .Tr , of the nomination for sheriff
on the new party's ticket. Mr. Smith
was nominated for that office by the
Democrats. Unsuccessful efforts, it was
explained, were made to Induce Mr.
Smith to withdraw from the Charter
party.

The influx of men nnd women, who

A 327. LEDGER, OFFICE
L. B. Card ledger
the main-spring of accounting
Watch manufacturers demand accuracy. They demand
it of the watches they make: they demand it of their
bookkeeping system.
It means something, therefore, to say that the L. B. Card
ledger is used by leading watch manufacturers.' It means
that it has met the most rigorous tests and made good.
Some installations are comparatively recent; others are
of years standing. In every case the verdict is the same
"The L. B. Card ledger is the best system of accounting
we have ever had. It has reduced mistakes and worry and
helped the work of the whole office 1"
The Library Bureau Card ledger lifts every accounting
department to new heights of speed and accuracy. It does
this first of all because it is fundamentally correct in prin
ciple and in method.
Visit any one of our salesrooms and let us show youthe
advantages of the L. B. Card ledger for machine posting,
and a record of what it has done not only for watch manu
facturers, but for banks and commercial houses the country
over.

Extraordinary interest attaches to the recitals of these great
artists because of the double opportunity they afford the music
loving public.
It is a privilege in itself to hear these famous artists, and
added importance is given to the' events in that they enable
you to compare their exquisite interpretations with their Vietrola
Records.
Attend the concerts of these artists and note the individual
qualities that distinguish their renditions. Then go to any
Victor dealer's and hear the Vietrola Records by the same
artists. Note how faithfully their interpretations are portrayed
on the Vietrola.
It is because of this absolute fidelity that these three artists
make Vietrola Records; that the greatest artists of all the
world are Victor artists.
