It has been a game fight by the Democrats against a campaign of vilification and misrepresentation. Issues nave been ■ falsely drawn and cnaracier assasination has marked their attacks against Democratic candidates. Congressman Adair has prehaps borne more of this disgraceful calumny than has any other candidate, and he comes out of it with his traducers run to, cover. Beginning with the Sulloway letters down to the expert examination of his official record ag clerk of Jay county, and he comes out from under the slander without a scratch. The expert who made the examination and false report has left the country a [ fugitive from justice. All voters, no ' matter of what pary, will vote for John Adair in order to place their stamp of disapproval'upon such methods as were inaugurated by “Uncle Nate,” just in order to boost himself into office. John Adair’s plurality will equal if not excel that of two years ago, when he carried the district by 4 200. His friends in Adams county will help him attain this glorious victory. Thomas IL Marshall is another Democratic candidate who has met the tongue of slander, met it in the open and proven false the malicious accusations. Mr. Marshall is perhaps the most independent candidate for office that ever canvassed Indiana. If elected he will owe favors to no man, Democrat or Republican, and will be free to fill the high place of chief executive without taking orders from any one. He is clean, temperate in

his habits and will reflect honor upon the state and her people. Democrats in every precinct in Adams county are working for a large vote next Tuesday. They will get it, i too. The Democrats in Adams county are the best workers on the face i of the earth, a fact they will fully demonstrate next Tuesday. ■ James P. Hornaday, special correspondent to the Indianapolis News, writing from New York, says 200,000 laboring men are idle in that state at the present time. They are the victims of the republican panic. These ! men were told by Taft that he could see by looking into their faces they did not want a change. Hornaday says there are 5,000 families in NewYork City right now that are being supported by public charity. Talk about your soup houses of the past! What do you think of the situation as pictured by this correspondent right at the onset of winter? « When Governor- Hanly was an attorney at law he happened to be employed as a counsel for a man who was arrested for running a “blind tiger.” Now a “blind tiger" is a den in which liquors are sold in violation of the law. So Mr. Hanly was the attorney for a law-breaker. He has been very severe in his denunciation of Marshall because he was connected with saloon cases through his firm. But in fact. Mr. Marshall never locked after that part of the business personally. Now let the good Hanly explain how he came to be defender of a “blind tiger” keeper. David B. Hill presided over the Bryan meeting at Albany Wednesdaynight. According to reports it was a great demonstration —a political reunion would perhaps be a more expresisve term. HUI complimented Bryan and in turn the latter spoke in endearing terms of the hero of many hard fought political battles. In his speech Mr. Bryan again referred to the charge that his election to the presidency wou.d result in disaster by saying that the only panic likely to follow that result would be an of-fice-holders panic. Great enthusiasm characterized the Albany demonstration. The appearance of James E. Watson in the "Who’s "Who” article in this week's Saturday Post is significant principally for the reason that ft was written by Sam Blythe, a close person-1 al friend of Senator Beveridge. Blythe has been touring Indiana this week on the “Beveridge Special.’- His article about Watscn declares that the latter looks upon the governorship as a Pepping stone to the senate. As Watson is identified with the Fair-banks-Hemenway-Goc<lrich machine it is taken by Beveridge’s friends that it is not Hemenway’s but Beveridge’s seat in the senate that Watson has his eyes on. This fact may account for the coldness of some of the Beveridge supporters toward Watson's present candidacy. It seems to be clear that I while the Beveridge people are whooping it up for all they are worth for Taft they don't care what happens to tie head of the state ticket. And it seems just as clear that Watscn does not care what happens to Taft and Beveridge. In one of his speches Monday, in this state, John W.. Kern said: “Republicans say that a panic will follow the election (Os Bryan. How asuld times be any worse than they are now in many cities? If these republicans can prevent a panic, why in the name of God do they not stop the one that is now on? I saw in New York a few days ago a solid square of men lined up waiting for bread. There are hundreds of thousands of men out of work all over the country. They cannot tell these men that there is no panic in this country now. I appeal to you, free men, on next Tuesday, to say by your ballots that you are not afraid of these men who threaten you every four years, and at the polls bring about a change that will insure that there will be no more panic in this country. Every trust in the country, every unlawful combination, every set of men banded together to plunder the people . are standing for Taft. Theec- men i - -- -

never divide, they never split into independent parties, they are not socialists; no, indeed, they are all solid for Taft. Let's be brave enough, stand up and defy this gang; let us sh6w these men that they cannot destroy eighty millions of people.” As the head of the administration that has squandered the state’s money and increased the burdens of the taxpayers, Governor Hanly has been traveling over the state abusing his betters, denouncing his own virtues. There wag at first, it is said, a general disposition net to pay much attention to Hanly in this campaign, for it was believed that the people already understood what sort of a man he is. But when he tock charge of the Republican campaign and began to abuse Mr. Marshall and other Democrats it became necessary to again call attention to the fact that he is not a credible witness. Among the other things Hanly has been saying is that Mr. Marshall’s law firm had had some liquor sellers for clients. As a matter of fact there are few lawyers in general practice who have not had liquor dealers 'for clients. Hanly himself never hesitated to take such cases when there was a fee in sight. He even defended the keeper of a “blind tiger" and attempted in defending him to overthrow a material part of the Nicholson law, as will be seen by referring to the case of the State vs. Mathis as reported in the Eighteenth Appellate Court Report. WILL NOT RECOVER Mother of Mrs. John Coffee 87 Years Old Sustained Broken Hip FELL TO GROUND And There is No Hope Whatever for Her Recovery—The Details Grandmother Wians, mother of Mrs. John Coffee, of Tenth street, is lying ■ at her home hovering between life and death as the result of a broken s hip she sustained recently by falling forcibly to the sidewalk. Eighty-seven years of age, she was walking to the rear of the lot when she lost her , balance aWd her tottering form was i hurled to the ground. She was carried to the house where an examination disclosed the facj that her h'.p was broken. The aged lady is gradually growing weaker, and ftere is no chance whatever tor her recove-y. In fact, her demise is momentarily expected. The aged lady, who is also , the mether of Mrs. Matthias Sch’fet of this city, was born and raised in Germany. She has, however, mad, her home with Mrs. Coffee for many years, and is probablv the oldest citizen of the county. Her husband di--d many years ago, and it is but a ques* tion of time until she will also pass into eternity. — » ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMACH. This Offer Should Be a Warning to fevery Man and Woman, The newspapers and medical journals recently have had much to say relative to a famous millionaires’ offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became Incurable. I His misfortune serves as a warning to others. Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. j Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric fluids. They lose • their power to digest food. We are now able to supply the missing element —to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to make the stomach strong and well. ■ We know that Revall Dyspepsia Tab- ' lets will positively and permanently » cure disordered stomachs, indigestion . and dyspepsia. We want you to try them and will return your money if you are not more than satisfied with the result. j Price 25 cents. Only at our store, or by mall.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We, the undersigned members of the Jay County Bar, most of whom were engaged in the practice of law at the timp the Hon. John A. M. Adair was clerk of the Jay Circuit Court, have carefully examined a 1 printed pamphlet put in circulation by N. B. Hawkins, charging that during Adair s term of office, as clerk of said court, some fifteen years ago, be I over-taxed certain fees in litigated cases and estates. In justice to Mr. Adair, we would' say that no investigation was ordered or made, by any one in authority, but a pretended investigation for political purposes, was made by one Earl Patterson, of Muncie, who was and now is in the employ of said N. B. Hawkins, Republican candidate for Congress. That we have examined said pamph- i let and find the same is false, slan-1 derous and misleading. That the fees taxed by Mr. Adair were within the law, were approved by the court and were satisfactory to both litigants and attorneys. His demeanor and conduct as <■ county official was gentlemanly honest and courteous, and w. rrank to say that there were no fees illegally taxed or collected by him as such clerk. JOHN M. SMITH.
