There is no earthly reason why the government, national, state, county, township and city should be guaranteed their deposits and the small depositor have to take his chances It is not right. | The Democratic platform is pledged . to this reform. The Hen. James M Robison, former congressman from the twelfth district, made a splendid address up- * on the Issues involved in this campaign. at the court house last night.' He illustrated the inner workings of the trusts, the forming of eombina- i tions, the stock market and other feaures that have now made it possible for twenty men to own half the wealth of the nation. The guarantee ' of bank deposits was also thoroughly explained. Mr. Robison is a polished speaker and' his many friends here , were more pleased with his address. 1 I Congressman Adair is in Madison ' county this week, speaking every < night and meeting the voters every day. He makes a plain statement of what he stands for, and how he will represent the people if re-elected to congress How different this is to the method of his opponent. “Uncle Nate” is a candidate by paid experts. He is trying to drag down the character of the Democratic candidate. and in the meantime says UP-TO-DATE PHOTOGRAPHY Martin Jaberg proprietor of the art studio located above th2 Nachtrieb Drug Store does excellent phototographiug. > >Having a college training he is able to make the finest work and his prices are fair.

nothing in his cwn behalf. He is a bcotlegger. The sort of a candidate that would hold up his political party and use it to advance himself com mercially cr otherwise. It is always safe to trust a man in politics that is not afraid to go to the people. That one man not afraid to take the public into his confidence is Adair. "Uncle Nate” has greatly aided in making plain the duty of the voter. It is being demonsetrated daily that Roosevelt is making use of Taft as a chess player makes use of a pawn in the grime of chess. Roosevelt does net consider Taft capable of answering Bryan's arguments, and therefore be has taken up the task himself, and the indications are that he will be kept pretty busy for the balance of the campaign. Bryan's latest answer calls upon Roosevelt to explain bit attitude with regard to the Standard Oil SIOO,OOO contributed to the r< publican campaign fund four years ago; also the $260,000 raised .by Harriman. Who wes solicited by Roosevelt to help him out; likewise the large sums that were taken from insurance companies—money that belonged to widows and orphans. He is also asked why he permitted a 1 po.nic to come upon the country and , i paralyze business at a time when j f there should have ben general pres-1 Ipcrity, for Foraker says Providence; wag not to blame, as the crops were • abundant.—Columbia City Post. . ! Thad Butler's Huntington Times,; one of the stalwart republican papers of this part of the country, truthfully says the emperance issue is now cut I of politics. While it was passed as a republican issue, a few democratic. vetes made its passage possible. The . ; Times has the following: Whether the calling of the legislature to pass a county local option law meets the approval or disapprov-. al of the individual voter is no longer a matter of discussion. The legis- • lature has enacted the law, and that | , is the end of the subject on that point.; jlt is now up to the voters to deter-: mine the question in each county of ■ the state, if they desire to do so whether the license system shall ccn- . tinue or the county shall prohibit the I licensed sale of liquor. Huntington county cast 7,700 • votes at the last general election. Jlt will probably cast fully as many in November. The county iocal option law provides that a special election shall be ordered when twenty per cent of the voters sign a petition requesting it In this county 1.540 petitioners will be necessary to order the [ . election. The action of the general assembly eliminates the question from poli- ; tics. The law was passed as a republican measure, but the six democratic legislators who voted for it are responsible for its enactment, i Without their votes it would have been defeated. This being the case, it is doubtful, even if the democratic party controls the next general assembly if any effort will be made for its repeal. With this issue disposed of the voters of each party will now support the candidates who represent their political sentiments at the next election, and whatever differences there were among republicans on the temperance plank should have no influence on their votes.

ARE AFTER CANNON Has to Fight for Life in His Own District this Year THE CONTRIBUTIONS To Be Published Soon — Hearst Has More Letters to Read Chicago, Sept. 29—The Democrats arc und national headquarters here are declaring that Cannonism is going to be overthrown—that the next house of representatives will be Democratic by a fair margin. Some believe that nothwithstanding his 10,000 majority in the eighteenth Illinois district. Incle Joe" will be defeated by Henry C. Bell, his opponent The remarkable feature of this hope is that at the Republican congressional committee headquarters some of the managers are becoming uneasy concerning Cannon. During the last week it was announced from Republican headquarters that Cannon would put in a good leal of time campaigning in his own ; district The Democrats say that this ; lis the first time that he has thought j it necessary in many years to make j I a cross-roads appeal to his constituency. It is known, however, that j anti-Cannonism. which has defeated I Adam Bede in the First Minnesota [district, and Representative Jenkins iin Wisconsin, has broken out in violent form in Cannonfs. own district. [Belt, who is making the race against Car non. is making is on the’ issue 'of Cannonism rather than party lines. Though the Democratic nominee, he [pledgee himself to vote for “RcoseIvelt” policies. Bell is mayor of Marshall and is said to have a very good, record and to be a good campaigner. Among the politicians there are those wbo believe that Cannon has been ad[vised to spend a good part of his time in his own district because it [will keep him cut of the “spotlight.” ■ James Schoolcraft Sherman and Nich- • olas Longworth will appeal to Mr. ; Canncn's constituents, at Danville, to- ' morrow night. Sherman says Cannon h a constructive statesman. He says the people have the wrong idea about the speaker Frank Monuett. of Ohio, who has figured so prominently in the Hearst-Roosevelt-Foraker-Haskell affair. dropped in cn the two national headquarters today. He said that Judge Taft has been on social terms with officers and representatives of trusts for years, and has been their i guest and wined and dined by them. ; He said there are enough laws, and under them the Standard Oil company cculd be put out of business in sixty dxys. Few took the time to read i Roosevelt’s reply to Bryan today. Nick [Longworth said that it was "convincing and conclusive.” Sherman refused to make comment, saying that it was a "private correspondence between two gentlemen." Indications now are that the Democrats will wait until October 15 to publish campaign contributions. The total received up to . date is approximately $260,000. W. R. Hearst, who arrived here today on his way west, said he will read more letters on the coast. — o TOURING CAR FOR SALE.
