PLAYED A DIRTY GAME Not for many years has there been so much of real dirty, mean politics engaged in in Portland and Jay county as there has been this fall. The fight that is being waged against Mr. Adair, the democratic candidate for congress in this district, by his opponent is mean, vile and can truthfully be said, senseless. Senseless, be cause it is so absurd and untruthful that it really enlists the pity of the people for those making the effort to injure Mr. Adair. One would think that with «the advantages that Mr. Hawkins has had by rubbing up against politicians in the past that he would gain some knowledge by absorption if not otherwise of how to conduct a campaign. But expedience has taught him nothing if we are to judge him by his efforts to gain the "votes of the people. From the very start he (has been driving votes from him. The great card he played that was to put Mr. Adair on the political shelf so dead that he would never be heard from again, proved a boomerang. It was the investigation of Mr. Adair’s record as county clerk. He made a great bluster; was going to fcave suits brought against Mr. Adair, but the only thing he did in the matter was to drive votes from him and to Mr. Adair. He was warned by his own party leaders not to touch upon this matter, but turned their advice down. His conduct in the campaign would lead one'to believe that his whole aim is to crush his opponent by vilification instead of going before the people i . a sane manner to win their votes. The agencies he has made use of, especially for the past two weeks, have been of a very low order, and are a discredit to any good man. In fact no man having any regard for conscientious scruples will resort to such a practice. Personally we have as great regard for Mr. Hawkins as we have for Mr. Adair. If there is any difference it is in Hawkins’ favor, but right is right in politics, as well as in Anything else, and we must say that the war made against Mr. Adair is malicious ai d false, and should do just what it Is doing, win him votes on the 3rd of November. He has served one term; has made a record In congress which er>y new member may well be proud of. Did more for the' people of his

district than has been done for years, and his second term will enable him by the experience be already has, to do much more. —Portland Saturday Advertiser. INDEPENDENCE OF THE RIGHT SORT "Tom Marshall for Me.” It is goed to see one so independently Independent in politics. Some of Mr. Marshall’s friends conceived the idea of securing and paying for a special train for his use during this week of the campaign. It was done without his knowledge, and when he heard of it, he penned the following pertinent letter to State Chairman Jackson: Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 23, 1908. My Dear Jackson—l noted by the papers that Mr. Hering is going to pay for a train for me. This I cannot consent to. I am paying my own expensee.for this campaign. The idea I got of the train, if it was arranged for, was a general speakers' train, arranged for by your committee. I have however, nearly made my fight, and I cannot afford to go over it again. N« private trains for me at private ex pense, much as I appreciate Mr. Hering's kindness. Hastily, THOS. R. MARSHALL That sounds like genuine indepenndence. Mr. Marshall does not propose to obligate himself to a single soul, Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist, anti-saloon league or brewery, and when the responsibility of chief executive is placed upon him, he will be responsible to no one but Tom R. Marshall. The state of Indana needs more Tom Marshalls. They need them in all departments of the state government and they need them as political generals. , The old game of "bluff" and “brag" and “claim everything" is now being played by the Republicans, but it is so manifestly absurd in view of real conditions that all well-informed persons laugh, and certainly no one is deceived. The simple truth is that the political tide in both nation and state is running overwhelmingly for the Democrats. The Republcan managers know this, but through party organs and machine workers they are putting on as bold a front as they can in the hope that wavering voters may be held in line.

Now mark this and see if it does not look like the Democratic part of the campaign is “going some.” Something like a thousand Democratic speeches will be made in the state during the week. The Kern special will be out six days, covering all parts of the state. Several notable speakers will go along with Mr. Kern throughout the trip. Mr. Bryan will be in the state all day Saturday on a special, train. Itineraries for other noted | speakers are being arranged. Nothing j like the finish that the Democrats are putting on tfheir campaign was ever seen in Indiana before. The spirit back of it can mean nothing but victory. The last week of the campaign has now been entered on, with everything indicating complete Democratic success. Mr. Taft’s visit to the state will not, in the opinion of careful observers, lose Democrats a vote. Many people turned out to see him at the places where his sumptuous train stopped. They gazed upon Mr. Taft’s ample proportions, got a glimpse of his numerous retainers, attendants, servants, physicians, body-guards and so forth, and then watched the departure of the train with unconcealed indifference. No real enthusiasm was anywhere shown. It was mere curiosity that drew the crowds. When it comes to voting, large numbers of Republicans who turned out to “see Taft” will cast their votes for Bryan.
