THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY While it is true that the Democratic pary failed to elect that greatest of all Americans to the office cf president, yet there is no reason why the party should be cast down and not see in the result a glorious future. Many substantial gains were made throughout the country and demonstrates that there remains in the party that great vitality that has caused it to withstand all the onslaughts that have been made upon it and ever ready to do battle for the masses. Il is a fact that after all is said and done the vitality of a party can be better measured in defeat than in victory. The Democratic party has fully deme nstrated that it can breast defeat with a bravery that never marked any other party in the history of the country. The campaign just closed did much to gather the stranded ends of the party and cement them into a fabric that can and will withstand the trials of the future. In 1912 the party will present to the public and the enemy a front so united that all the hosts of evil will not be able to stand against it. The candidate four years hence will not have any part or parcel of the party arrayed against him. It will be a united party indeed that will face the issues of that year. The administration cf President Taft will be utterly unable to free itself from the selfish interests that have fastened themselves upon tho Republican party. Tbes* l infprpßtg are utterly opposed to the common ■ people and in four years they will have become so arrogant that the ( common people will fully realize that nothing can be hoped for frem the ■ Republicans no matter how earnestly some of the workers may desire a different condition. The opportunity for good work within the cming four years. Unity of purpose will do much to further solidify the party. And the independent voter will be with the party as a unit next time. The forces i that will be arrayed against arrogant greed will be invincible. The people

, will role in the end, a truth that should make more earnest and brave every Democrat in the whole broad land —Muncie Press. 'Having completed the task cf comi inating and electing his candidate for i president, the New York senatorship i will prove easy for the strenuous i Roosevelt. He has slated Roct, and I the matter is settled. Those Republicans organs in Indiana who have been busy selecting a soft , place for Watson in the Taft cabinet have overlooked provision of a place for one J. Frank Hanly. Their ex- > treme rudeness is exasperating. SECURES FEEDOM Charles, LeMay Breathes the Air of a Free Man Again IMPRISIONED LONG Was a Boarder With Sheriff Meyer for Eight Months and One Day E. S. Kegg, the aged grandfather of Charles LeMay, who for eight months and one week has been a prisoner at ; , the Adams county jail, came to the I city this morning and paid to Clerk James P.

Ths visitors were in rare form and two of their total scores were over the thon°and mark. To do this it should be re-

membered the five man team must average over two hundred, so that it may be seen what the locals were up against. One of the Brunswick men. I Garrett, averaged 222 for three games.] and one score of 257 and another of 254. Though the locals bowled a fairly good game with an average of nearly 850, they were completely smothered and defeated by over 300 plus. The score by games was as follows: DECATUR.

It means the outlay of quite a considerable sum of money to held an election, the total of the bills presented ! today being over $2,500. and this is SSOO less than in any of the counties in this section of the state, accord i ir.g to the notices published.

Nov. 14—It is said that Edward Simon, of Hammond, who was the Democratic candidate for rep- ■ resentative from Lake county, and was defeated s>t the election, last week, will contest the election of his > Republican opponent, Edward S. Wickey, of East Chicago. His contest will * be based on the allegation that many ’ foreigners voted in Lake county who were not entitled to vote. It Is said that many foreigners were naturalized > for voting purposes in Lake county, i who had not been residents of the - United States the length of time reb qulred by law. The Democrats are s looking Into this matter and they say '- they will go to the bottom of it. If i Simon enters a contest it will afford 1 an avenne through which all the cirf cumstances of the naturalization of t these foreigners may be brought to f light The controversy over the for- - eign vote In Lake and St Joseph counties recalls the fact that Indiana is far behind many other states in its 1 law s regulating the qualifications of , voters. In this state the qualifications , are fixed by the state constitution, and. of course, no change could be made without an amendment to the i constitution.
