The fiercest local campaign known in Adams county is over, and we and every one else is glad of it. The democrats were successful as we believe they should have been. While our officials have made some mistakes, no doubt, f>r men are only human, whether they be democrats or progressives, or prohibitionists, or socialists, or “citizens,” still men of every party in Adams county believe in honest and efficient service in office. There is no shortage in the county treasurer’s office or anywhere else in the court house that we know of. If there is those who know about it should see that it is immediately made good. A shortags, however, under the accounting system is impossible or practically so. Each January the books are examined by two accountants, one republican and one democrat. This was done last January and the entries on the books in the treasurer's office were made by examiners and not by any local officials. As to bills of officials being too high we believe also that was pure campaign "bunk,” but if it wasn’t any good citi.en has the right

to protest against them and he should do so. Let’s make Adams county the best in the world in every way. Tiie taxes are high. You know it and we know it, but the time is nearing when the debts for all these improvements will begin to diminish under the careful administration of democratic officials. No officer can pay debts without a tax. The roads and school houses and bridges and public bull!lugs must be paid for. Let's all honestly work together for a better community and we shall have it. Many unkind things have been said during the campaign. Some argument was met by ridicule because often that is more effective than counter argument or explanation. If you think it was easy for us to fight against men with whom we bad always battled for democracy you have another think coming. We did what we felt called upon to do and we do not regret it. We believe in democracy and will always fight for it so long as we believe the party is right and we mean the great national party and not the local branch. We are sure now that Adams county is democratic, this victory- being a proof that the demo crats of Adams county are the real kind. We hope the democrats who wavered this year will get back in line and help to fight the common enemy in two years from now and wc are sure they will do so. But any wav the election is over and that’s what we started out to say. For a year and a half we have battled on political questions. Thank the Lord we are free now for a year or two to discuss various questions without mixing in politics. Let's all pull together for Adams county, the best on earth in every way. Democrats in Adams county, democrats in the state, democrats in con gress, thanks for that, too. Adams county remains green. Th* democrats of this old county belieie in the principles of the party of Jackson. Jefferson and Wilson and they vote it. Down to earth again, the campaign over, the votes counted, we shall try to give you all the new’s all the time Let s get up on our toes and do something worth while. It’s all over, and after all the democrats did not do so badly. With every officer in the county, with every township trustee, excepting one, with eleven congressmen in the state, including our own John Adair, with Senator Shively and the entire state democratic ticket safe by forty thousand, with a control of the national senate and house and the Indiana legislature, what do we care if the majorities have been slightly reduced. There seems to be plenty yet for the democrats to rejoice over. The campaign in Adams county has been a warm one, and among other questions discussed more or less wesj the Democrat. This was natural because of our stand for the party in which we believe but we want you to know now after the election is over that A e are for the people of Adams county. We want to print a paper that will please you and we assure you that we will do all in our power to do so. If there is any improvement that we can make that will please our readers and the good people of Adams county, tell us about it and we will do it if possible. The democrat has always tried to he alive and progressive. We want it to continue that way and we want your he.p in making it the best paper in the state for a county the size of this one. Let’s work together for a better community, one that is more prosperous, one that is the best on earth in everv way. We are for you now and all the time. The independent party ip Adams county is very probably "dead.” It has performed its duty, that of making the democrats wake up to the fact that its officers must be as near perfect as possible. Locally there may be some who believe that the organization can be carried forward but a little study of the eturns will pro.’e that it cannot be. 1» tfce next election the republicans, pr ‘gressives and

others will have their own tickets for in no other way can they aid the state and congressional tickets. In this county Senator Shively and the democratic state ticket were given a plurality of nearly two thousand, and John Adair received the largest plurality he ever had. This was duo to the fact that the "citizens' ” workers insisted that the only thing of interest was the local fight. The result may be seen by noticing the total vote for congress. Over four hundred more votes were cast for prosecutor than for congressman, due to the instructions to vote the “star” ticket straight. Os course the candidate for congress or on the state ticket in the future will not stand for this and there is not much danger of a “citizens’ ” party being continued. iiuinaimi.

He’s not so quick an’ clever; That is, not as a rule; At times (the times we disagree) He seems a sort of fool.
