HENDRICKS. • o I Temperance democrats should not 1 be deceived by the false cry that the 1 democrats are going to repeal the county option bill, for there is no possibility that they will have the necessary number of votes in the state sen- • ate to accomplish that end. It is a republican trick, conceived by Hanly I and exploited by him for the purpose of carrying the legislature for the pur- j pose of boosting him into the United States senate. —Columbia City Post. Adams county Democrats should take courage. All the political signs ! point to the election cf the Democratic , tickets, both national and state. This I prophesy will be fulfilled providing every Democrat votes. To this end there should be a general rallying cry, and if there is, Adams county will produce a majority heretofore unequaled. Now 4s the time to fill our hearts j with courage and hope, and go forth | determined that no Democrat shall : fail to vote. We can well afford to do ; missionary work for our cause, our partj- and our candidates. Now is the' appointed time. Be up and doing. The taking of staw votes has become very distasteful to the republican managers. So long as this work I was carried on outside the state they ' could stand it, however bad it might I j' be, but now that test votes of various i kinds are being taken right here at 1 home, and all of them showing tre- ' mendous changes from the Republican I to the Democratic party, they are al- ! meat ready to throw up the sponge. | All of the talk coming from the repub- ■ tican state committee about big majorities for Taft and Watson is W'orse than graveyard whistling. The democrats

will, according to estimates -made by competent observers, carry Indiana by a plurality that will not fall below 25,000 for any man on the ticket Mud! That is the stock in trade of the Republican compaign. artists and statesmen. Liar! That is their familiar epithet used for argument Calamity! That is the wail that comes as a last resort to save their political shin from total wreckage. What must the American people think of the attempted argument of the issues as they affect t>he people today? Candidate Taft himself, talking about the (business calamity that would follow , the election of Mr. Bryan. The presI ident talking about “my policies" and ! what “I” have done. Governor Hanly misrepresenting facts and shrieking “liar.” Watson preaching temperance and winking at the boys. Isn’t this > the limit, when a calm, dispassionate discussion of the issues would appeal Ito the intelligence of the people? In- ’ stead, they appeal to passion and pre- • judice, and attempt to solicit sympathy. They have a bad case. The demonstration given Mr. Adair in the court house last night was noth- ! ing short of an ovation. Long before ' the time for the speech the court : house began filling until the place was filled to the bursting point by the time the war veterans came marching in with Mr. Adair at '7:30 o’clock. By far the largest meeting of the campaign, a much larger crowd than was i present at the Shiveley meeting, the ! local Hawkins’ people are wondering j this mixing what it all means. No l congress in any district, ever had a warmer welcome. The speech of Mr. Adair was more of a heart to heart talk, telling the people just what he had done and what he ' would try to do were he re-eleced. After his open, frank talk, hundreds lof men and women came forward to shake hands with him and assure him of their support this fall. Mr. Adair said that, all his meetings throughout the district had been on the same order of size and enthusiasm, and he had no fear of being defeated. Mr. Adair made some-things very plain regarding the plan of campaign of Mr. Hawkins, as the exigencies of the case demanded, and just what the people wanted to hear him say. The crowd was with him last night, as they will be with him November 3rd. — Bluffton Banner. to saveTountry The President Sends His Cabinet to Beat the Bushes THEY GO TO OHIO Taft’s State Worries the Executive and Campaign Manager Washington, Oct. 24. —As a result of a cabinet meeting every member of the president’s official family will go out seme time, next week to make political speeches in the states where here is doubt as to the outcome of the campaign in favor of Judge Taft. The president earnestly considered the entire situation with six members of his cabinet, and at the end of the meeting it was learned that each of j these officials next week will make several campaign speches. Postmas-ter-General Meyer will leave here Sunday next and will speak at Paulding, O , October 26; Sandusky, O , October 27; Bellaire, Md., October 29; Trenton, N. J., October 30, and Boston, November 2. The campaign engognnwnfp VirglDia, of Qanstny TYa= pew, who was scheduled to speak at Harrisonburg, Lynchburg, Norfolk and Suffolk, beginning October 26, have been canceled and the senator will take the stump in more doubtful states than Virginia. Secretary Root made a special call on the president seme time after the cabinet meeting had adjourned. When he left the white house he was asked whether the fact that he was being sent to Ohio to speak was not an admission on the part of the administration that the situation (here was in danger for tie Republicans. He admitted that the Ohio situation was somewhat “spilt up.”

EVANGELICAL CHURCH. Although the weather was somewhat inclement a goodly number came 'through the rain to enjoy again the blessings of the sanctuary. There were no special demonstrations and yet a deepreligious sentiment was prevalent. A few who have been thinking seriously along religious lines were again present, but from some cause they still hesitate to make a definite decision. The pastor speke from the words “The Master is come and caileth for Thee.” He said that in all ages God has been calling men and women from the things that are low and destructive to the things cf higher worth to the things that will bring about the greatest soul development. Christ has been calling me into special work both in the physical and spiritual world. This is His mission to call after the unsaved and when He calls he expects men to follow. It is a sin to reject the call of the Master. There will be services this evening, tomorrow morning and Sunday evening. You are invited to these services. ——o— KIDNAPS HIS OWN BOY.
