McCarty, of tms city, that he is on “Unde” Nate's pay roll and that his article in the Muncie Star (and copied in other papers at so much per line) extoling the virtues of Senator Hawkins, was written for pay, makes it all plain enough now. It tends to prove that the Sidloway “unsolicited’’ letters defamatory to Mr. Adair were probably inspired the same way; it tends to prove that the “expert” investigation and the finding of one J. Earl Patterson was conceived in iniquity and made for - hire. In fact Rev. McCarty's confession has put a new fact on “Uncle” Nate’s candidacy. But it is only n link in the chain tending to prove that his campaign of mud-slinging and vituperation is being done by paid agents—a campaign of hire — and this belief is further borne out by the fact that Senator Hawkins has never came out on the stump and discussed the issues; he has never told an audience where he stands, or what his policies would be if he was to be elected to congress. He is conducting a back-door campaign—the kind always put up by a political trickster.—Portland Sun .

Governor .Hanly has a contingent fund of thirty thousand dollars, yet he wants more money to do battle with the night riders. How much more, deponeth sayeth not. A special session of the legislature will cost the state the sum of two thousand dollars a day, and thirty days means sixty thousand dollars. Governor Hanly means to get fame for the governor, no matter the cost. The money for the expenses of the ' Democratic campaign will be furnished by popular subscription. Every one is invited to participate, and thereby help in electing a representative of the people as chief executive of this mighty nation. The Democrat will forward to the proper place all such funds intrusted to its care. The campaign in Adams dountyt opens next Wednesday evening, September 16. From that time on speaking and a discussion of the issues will be carried on in a dignified manner, which added to the plans and work of organization, will make things lively. Not a voter need be ignorant of the true nature of the issues, and not many of them will be. Bryan is certainly right in asking that the bank depositor be protected and the republican argument that such 3 course would breed unsafe banking, sounds like their former argument in favor of protecting the “infant Indus-

tries.” When the government deposits money in a bank they require such a guarantee. The same is true of the state, the county, the township and the city. Then why not the depositor? This is a hard nut for Mr. Taft to crack. We guarantee the enactment cf a law guaranteeing to depositors the immediate payment of their deposits in any such bank or trust company, the funds necessary for such purposes to be provided solely by a tax to be imposed upon such banks and trust companies; and we further demand that in administering banking laws in Indiana none but competet and qualified examiners and officials be selected. —Democratic Platform. Voters are cautioned about moving out of their townships after September 3, or out of the precincts after Octorber 3. That is the limit allowed by law for changes and any person moving after those dates will be as much use on election day as a bump on a leg. Many organizations are waging war against the use of moving vans after September 3, and the reason is not any antagonism against the van men, but a desire not to lose any voters. That is one branch of their business the draymen of the city may expect to be rather slack until after the votes are cast The regular sixty day polls to determine the qualified voters are being taken this week and from this the poll book will be made up, together with such erasures as removals after that time and up to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November make necessary. DR GRAFTON DEAD An Ohio Resident and Former Surgeon in Army Died Near Monroe

OF BRIGHT’S DISEASE Had Been 11l for Several Years and Came Here to Visit Relatives Dr. J. C.

It 1b said it never was so dry in Blackford county as it at present. There may have ben years when less rain has fallen, but what with the drought and the continuous draining of such water as does nnd its wayTo the county it was never so dry before. Supt. John Wagner, of the Fort Wayne. Gas company has lately gone through an experience that convinces him that Blackford county was never so dry underground before. In drilling a water well for his company last wek the workmen found the first bed of gravel dry. They went on down to the second and found that ■dry also. The third bed of gravel was found at a depth of 9) feet and lit afforded a supply of water but not so copious that it could not be lowered with the baler. A few years ago before drainage became so general there would have been plenty of wat;er in the first bed of gravel. The I moral is that we can’t eat our cake and have It Water that is drained away never returns. —Hartford City News. The Anti-Saloon league are certainly making sure that Blackford will be dry. - -■■ ■ o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS.
