THE DUTY OF YOUNG VOTERS It must be apparent to the young voters of the country —and especially to those who will cast their first vote this year—that the present republican party offers no sufficient inducement for their support of its candidates. Because of the misdeeds of its leaders —their disregard of the people's rights and their unholy alliances with mercenary private Interests —the republican party is so discredited and debased that it is doomed to a long period of retirement from control of the government. In time it may emerge from this retirement purified and with patriotic conceptions of duty. But that day must necessarily be long distant. In the meantime gome other party will administer the government and direct public affairs. That party will be the democratic party. It will not only need the help of the young men of the country but it will offer to the best and brightest of them exceptional opportunities for public usefulness. Upon those now in their early majority the country must largely depend for aid in the great work es bringing the government back to tis proper functions. his service must be performed through the democratic party. It cannot be performed through any other now in existence or in contemplation. Don’t forget to go to the Pythian home Tuesday evening. 202t3 AGENTS—2OO per cent profit; handy hame fastener.

TO FOLLOW ALEY Will be the Purpose of Chas. A. Greathouse if He is Elected. CARRY OUT WORK As Planned by the Present Splendid Superintendent of Instruction. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pytnlan Building. Indianapolis. Ind., Aug. 27 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —"I believe the people of Indiana have faith in the things Robert J. Aley has stood for as state superintendent of public instruction in Indiana, and it will be my purpose, if elected, to carry out the work he has begun—and along the lines he has mapped out.” This is the testimonial and pledge of Charles A. Greathouse, who has been chosen by the democratic state committee to take the place of Dr. Aley on the state ticket, Dr. Aley having tendered his resignation as a candidate, to accept the presidency of the University of Maine. Dr. Aley has congratulated Mr. Greathouse and has promised his co-operation. “That Dr. Aley has made a splendid official is not denied by any man, regardless of party,” continued Mr, Greathouse. “His record speaks for him and I have the highest regard for his ability both as an educator and a business man. These two qualities go rarely hand in hand, but both are found in Dr. Aley. Ha has perfected a fine organization in his department and has developed its efficiency. He has brought about various reforms that have saved money for the people of Indiana, and raised educational standards. His administration is well on its way, proceeding along lines that, fyom his experience, seem to him good. I am familiar with Dr. Aley’s purposes and aims in part, and in the event of my election is his successor, the people of Indiana will have, as nearly as possible, just what he had intended to give them.” Mr. Greathouse conferred with Dr. Aley yesterday and discussed with him the various educational movements started by Dr. Aley. He will spend the next two or three weeks getting in close touch with the affairs of the office and through this method, with the present needs of the schools of the state.

It is Mr. Greathouse’s belief that the people ard coming more and more to demand a business administration of any public office. Dr. Aley has shown his appreciation of this by Instituting reforms that wrought an Immediate and substantial profit by the state. In this feature of the work Mr. Greathouse Is highly qualified. Following his years of service in behalf of education, he has devoted himself to business pursuits, giving them a large part of his attention for the last three or four years. His connection with the People's Bank and Trust Company at Mt. Vernon is only one evidence of his knowledge of business methods. He assisted in the organization of the bank and was its first president, having been later reelected in the very face of his resignation. He has accumulated large property interests and at the present time holds an active partnership In the firm of Files & Greathouse, doing a cash grain business. “The people of Indiana, as elsewhere,” said Mr. Greathouse, "are demanding that the affairs of public office be administered with the same care and business principles that govern private enterprise. They like to *know that the man in this or that office regards the money that passes through his hands as their money—money for which he must show the best results. While it would be my primary purpose to maintain the present high educational standard, I would expect to make my administration a business administration should 1 be elected. “There would be no overthrowing of the present order of things as established by Dr. Aley. I believe what he has been doing and has contemplated has the thorough approval of the people of Indiana, and I would carry his ideas to fulfillment to the best of my ability.” Mr. Greathouse's ability as an educator is beyond question. And, Be is in thorough sympathy with one of the great problems now confronting the educators of Indiana —that of providing adequately for the country school. After his college course Mr. Greathouse taught for years in the country schools aid has learned at first hand Just what they need. He knows wherein they are lacking and is qualified to give intelligent effort toward the solution of this problem. There is not a department of educational work in which he is not thoroughly conversant through personal experience. His work as principal of the Mt. Vernon high school gave him insight into a new field. From this he went to the superintendency of the schools of Posey county, being elected time after time, until he has served ten years. This work he finally ended by resigning. With his long experience in educational matters and his subsequent success in the business world, he is unusually well qualified to discharge i the duties of the office of superintendent of public instruction with credit to himself and his party, and with satisfaction to the people of Indiana. Personally, Mr. Greathouse is a man who makes friends wherever he goes. He is cordial, out-spoken, and easily approached. He is not an officeseeker and has accepted the position as candidate for superintendent of public instruction only because his friends and the members of the state committee believed him to be the best man. He has a successful and profitable business in Indianapolis and is tak-1 ing up his candidacy at a personal sacrifice. He was nominated Thursday afternoon. He returned from St. Louis Thursday morning and knew nothing of the fact that he was being considered for the place until informed at that time by some of his friends. He told them that he was not a candidate and that he could not accept the place. He was nominated despite this objection and receiving the honor in this way, felt that he could not decline. Mr. Greathouse is a fighter and will enter the campaign with enthusiasm. Being once in. he is going to devote himself with all his might. That's the way he’ll campaign, and that's the way he’ll conduct the office of state superintendent if it is the will of the people of Indiana that he shall have it.

A BROOKS MACHINE Tire-Setting Device Installed by Jacob Buhler, the Blacksmith. does the work Great Improvement Over the Old Method—All Should See It Work. A Brooks tlrwsettlng machine has been securea oy Jacob Buhler, the up-to-date blacksmith, whose shop is on First street, where he has been in business for years. Mention of the purchase was made some time ago and the machine, made by the Brooks company of Wichita, Kans., has just arrived and was set up today. It works like a charm. Every farmer knows what a Brooks machine is. It is the best on the market and does wonderful work, clinching a tire in such a manner that it stays. It fastents the steel tire without any heating and is acknowledged to be the greatest invention of the kind ever placed in any shop. It is high-priced but does the work rapidly and right, and that’s what Mr. Buhler wants. That he will secure enough work to more than repay him for his investment is assured, and all who wish to see it work are invited to call and do so. “The old-fashioned way of setting tires,” said Mr. Buhler, "chars the fellows, burns the paint off, and is otherwise injurious. With this machine ail this is saved.”
