for prohibition. In the southern half of the, county many poeple are just ; like war horses with the bit betweentheir teeth, ready to run off into I | bcttle. They will have to be held in i check until next March or April. — Berne Witness. Our esteemed republican contemporary informs us that Judge Vesey was drafted into the race for joint senator, undoubtedly he was. and the republicans of Forr Wayne, outside of two or three leaders, did not serve the papers. The draft was organized in I Indianapolis and the papers made out 1 at a quiet meeting at which a select coterie decided that Judge Vesey should be the candidate and the republicans should dutifully vote for him in accordance with the orders from the state capital. The fact that Charles G. Egly, of Berne, wanted the note ination badly cut uo figure with the bosses, and if Judge Vesey was an unwilling subject of the draft no one ever heard that he made the slightest resistance. —Fort Wayne JournalGazette. A careful review of the political situation throughout the country convinces Democratic managers that William J. Bryan Is practically assured of election to the presidency. In a j dozen cr more states running from j Connecticut in the east all through the middle west and even to the Pacific v i coast, the Republicans are confronted with factional fights within their own lines, while every where from ccast to coast the Democrats are united as

they have not been since 1892. The trend of sentiment is unmistakably. for Bryan, while the popular planks of the Democratic platform, such as the guarantee of bank deposits, tariff revision, anti-injunction, publicity of campaign funds, the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, the prol ibition of Asiastic immigration, and many others are bringing thousands of Republicans and Independents to the support of the Democratic ticket. President Roosevelt declared in a | public letter to Mr. Bryan that he opposes the publication of campaign con-. tributions before the election because the people might give the sources of! the contributions an undue importance in casting their votes —in other words, that they might be influenced against a man who was being financially supported by the trusts and other mercenary and suspicious interests. This was an amazing position for Mr. Roosevelt to take, but when Rooseveß had given him his cue, Taft took the 1 same ground and undertook to fortify

himself by the statement that there is no law in either Europe or America • compelling he publication of contributions and expenditures before the election. Mr. Taft ought to know that when a thing is right it should be done whether there is a law compelling it or not. The trouble with Mr. Taft and his campaign managers is that they do not dare publish the names of the met: who arc furnishing them with money. They are determined that the people shall not know who are making the fight against them. ———————— Congressman John A. M. Adair spent Sunday in this city with his family leaving Monday for Adams county, where he has several speaking dates to fill. Before leaving the city Mr. Adair announced that he will | speak at the Auditorium in this city at 7:30 o’clock on Thursday evening. October 15. the only open date he will have before the last week in the campaign. In this spech Mr. Adair will take up the alleged Investigation of one J. Earl Patterson, Tax Title Hawkins’ eight-dcllar-a-day “expert," and show his old neighbors and friends in Jay county how ridiculously false and misleading this hired report really is. He will also take up the Sulloway letters and ‘sift them to the bottom. Every in Jay county whom Patterson says has been "over charged" by Mr. Adair whie serving as county clerk eighteen years ago, will learn just how this maD Patterson has attempted to deceive them if they attend this meeting and go through the records with Mr. Adair. All soldiers are also especially Invited

to turn out and hear Congressman Adair’s exposition of these false statements against his congressional career. Mr. Adair will make some plain statements of facts without stooping to dirty politics or mud slinging such as have ben indulged in by his opponent and his army of paid agents. Those who like fair play and clean politics, regardless of party should turn out to this meeting and hear our able congressman upon this occasion. —Portland Sun.

SOME G. 0. P. DOPE Governor Hanly Will Probably Speak at Berne on Thursday, October 15th IN THE OPEN AIR Meeting at Geneva I Night Fairly Well Attended—George Clark Here

Governor J. Frank Hanly will very probably deliver a speech in Adams county on Thursday, October 15th. He was to have spoken at Fort Wayne cn that date, but owing to the fact that John Sharpe Williams is dated there for that time, his visit has ben postponed a day and he will likely come to Adams county. Ferd I.itterer, secrelary of the republican county committee informs ns that the date has not been fully arranged for, but that it is the desire of the committee to have Mr. Hanly speak in the south part of the county, perhaps at Berne, and that whether cr not he will come depends on his willingness , to speak in the open air as there is !no hall in that place which will ac- ! commodate the crowd expected. It is thought that word will be received today or tomorrow definitely deciding the matter. Hon. Theodore S'noekney, Union City, and Judge esey, of Port Wayne, were the speakers at a republican meeting held at Geneva last evening. A fairly god crowd attended the rally and the speakers were in thir usual * goed form. Mr Shockney is one of the political speakers always sure of attention, being one of the best , orators in the staae. Hon. George Clark, of South Bend, will open ‘the republican campaign in Decatur tomorrow night, speaking at i the court house. Mr. Clark is a pleasing and polished orator, and has a large acquaintance here. — o *********.}:****# * "The Evening Star,” a new * * mild cigar made by H. A. Col- * * chin. sc.
