RUNNING ON ALL HIS RECORDS For th e especial benefit of the Muncie Star, permit u s to say that John Adair never said at Union City that he desired to exclude any public record h e ever made. On the contrary he is running on his record —every one he ever made. He is also running on, his private record which includes every minute of time since he was able to grab hi 8 nursing bottle by th e neck and give thre e cheers for the star spangled banner. John Adair's life has been, as an open book. He has lived a clean life and th e more it is investigated th e better I it is admired. The Star is evidently aching to say something, as the following indicates:

In tb e pending congressional contest in the Eighth district,we have as yet heard of no personalities being indulged in against Mr. Adair, but the friends of his opponent. Senator Hawkins, have frequently referred to the position I assumed toward the senator, both before and since his nomination, by the Democratic press of the , district and claimed that these attacks have been Inspired by his opponent. They aver that these attacks have helped him materially because not directed against his public records. The friends of Uncle Nate, etc., etc. Why not state the truth by saying that Uncle Nate gives it as his opinthat Mr. Adair i s guilty of inspiring the Democratic press? And if these attacks are gravy for “Uncle Nate" why not let them proceed in their labor of benefitting Mr. Cremer's standard bearer? If the Democratic press have maligned “Uncle Nate’’ where was the high and mighty censor of newspaper ethics, the Muncie Star, that it did not call the meek and lowly editors upon th,, carpet and read to them from the good bool’? Why not? Who nominated Uncle Nate? Was it the rank and file of the Republican party, or was it the Cromer machine, and is it indulging in personalities against “Uncle Nate” the investgator, to say so? It was common expression among nine-tenth s of the Republicans that Cromer never did anythnig for fun, and was it treason for the Democratic press to say so? The amount stipulated as Cromer's charge for performing the great service of nominating his candidate for congress has been variously estimated, and had the Democratic press no right to say so? Uncle Nate the Investigator is looking upon this line of journalistic utterance as personal abuse. Is t? Democrat Want Ads. Pay.

gjwlHwjJJr Live Agents Wanted Owing to the increased demand for Wayne “30” Automobiles, we have decided to build 300 additional cars of this popular type. These are now coming through—we can positively make deliveries of the first fifty in ten days. Now, we can sell every one of these cars in four or five large cities—as we have been doing. But we have other ideas, other aims. W e are planning to build 6,000 cars next year —have the facilities to do it—and the work is already under way. That means we’ll need a large selling force—an agent in every town over 5,000. We want these 300 Wayne ‘‘3o” cars to be the missionaries which will create a demand for the 6,000 we will build next year. See our point? V*e want to distribute this season's output —these 300 —over as much territory as possible instead of concentrating them in a few metropolitan centers. Satisfied users are the best advertisements—every Wavne wil ac its part in carrying the news of Wayne qu ity w cr cver it goes. Even to those who knew the earlier Wayne models this 1908 product will be a revelation and a delight.
