MR. CLAYPOOL’S OPINION The Hon. J. H. Claypool of Indianapolis, speaks his mind and does It frankly. He has long been a prominent and influential republican. He was formerly state election commissioner. But he is not an insurgent. In one of his tecent published statements he says: "Senator Beveridge will not be reelected to the senate from Indiana. Why? For two reasons. First, the Indiana legislature is practically certain to be democratic on joint ballot, as it was two years ago; and second, because should the legislature contain a republican majority, Beveridge could not get the support of a sufficient number of the republican members to elect himself.” Mr. Claypool declares that "Forty per cent of the men nominated as republicans for the legislature are known to be opposed to Beveridge's re-election to the senate, and a sufficient number of these, if elected, would never vote for him to prevent his election.” But above all, it is Mr. Claypool's opinion that the "decided leaning for democratic politics,” which characterized the state prior to 1896, has returned, and that democratic success may reasonably be expected as a normal manifestation of the present sentiment of the people on vital issues.

Congressman Adair, whose able record for the two terms he has served this district, is known to practically every voter In this county, will open his 1910 campaign at Linn Grove next Monday evening and will speak on Tuesday evening at Monroe. So grent is the demand for his presence that he will not be able to appear many times In this county and all who can should hear him. He will speak right out from the shoulder on issues that should interest every honest voter. .... OBITUARY. Benjamin Pillers Harkless was born in Root townsnip, Adams county, Indiana, May 12. 1852, and died at his home in Root township, Adams coun ty, Ind., August 19, 1910, aged 59 years, 3 months and 7 days. On April 7, 1872. he was united in marriage to Rebecca J. Mumma. To this union was born one son and two daughters. He was converted and joined the United Brethren church in 1873, in which . he remained a faithful and willing worker until death summoned him to go home. In his death the’church has lost a loyal member, the community a noble and upright citizen, the family a loving and devoted husband and father. He leaves to mourn a faithful companion, one son, J. Clifford Harkless. two daughters, Mrs. Ross Hardon and Mrs. Ed Ahr; five grandchildren, one brother and one sister, and a host of relatives and friends, as this was evident by the large concourse of neighbors and friends assembled to pay respect.

ARE IN GOOD TRIM Democrats Will Enter Campaign With Splendid Advance Organization. MEETING TOMORROW District Meetings Over State Have Inspired Even , Greater Faith. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat;—August has been an important month for the democrats of This will be shown at the regutar meeting of the democratic state commute to be helo tomorrow afternoon at the Denison hotel in this city. Reports will then be made by members of the committee showing that the organization t>f the state has gone forward materially and that things are shaping themselves the best way possible for the real test of strength in November. Just now the campaign is in a sta.< of transition from the active work of organization into the speaking campaign. Os course the work of organization will continue with undiminished vigor until the very last, but the big task of shaping the state into a working whole will have been concluded before the speaking campaign begins, about September 15th. It is conceded that splendid results have been attained in the matter of organizatii*. This is chiefly due to the plan of holding district organization meetings, followed by county meetings in which a well-defined plan ot organization was drilled into the precinct committeemen. In this way the state commiuee has carried a consistent plan of organization into even precinct in the state and has every precinct committeeman in the harness. A meeting was held yesterday in the Eleventh district at Peru. District Chairman Edward E. Cox of Hartford City presided at this meeting and it was attended by Chairman Jackson as well as many of the state candidates. With this meeting, all district organization meetings have been held with the exception of the Seventh and Eighth districts. George f. Beebe of Anderson, chairman of the Eighth, will call this meeting soon. It will probably be held at Muncie. This, with the Seventh district meeting, will be held before September Ist, so that notning will go over into Septem ber except the county meetings in the Seventh. These will be held immediately so tnat September will be practically free from this feature of work. An instance of the interest shown in the district meetings was manifest at Plymouth last week, where the j Thirteenth district met on call ot Chairman Peter Kruyer. While there was no especial effort to bring them in, the precinct committeemen of the district turned out in such large numbers that the auditorium of the opera t house was completely hued by tne | garnering. The same interest and en | thusiasm have been shown, more or j less, throughout the entire state. The' Tenth district meeting, which was held at Gary last week, was another big success. Charles Murphy, district chairman, is confident that the district is in fine shape from the democratic standpoint and will see that there is an honest vote in Lake county this year. John W. Kern, democratic nominee for the United States senate, is expected to return to Indiana this weeK from Bay View, Mich. He will speak at Auburn next Friday and will probably arrive in Indianapolis Saturday. U RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. — "Oddfellowship!
