Entered at the poetofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Remember the Maine (election.) When the Vermont election a week ago resulted in a large democratic gain, the “old guard” said it was due to the bad weather. There must have been a terriffic storm in Maine yes terday. Arkansas also held an election on yesterday. It went democratic, of course, and by a majority even larger than usual. Even old Oregon got on the right track, too, and the reports from there sound democratic. Maine has gone democratic by nearly ten thousand. Ordinarily, the state gives a republican majority of three times that. What does it all mean? Every election during the past three or four months has proven that the voters of this country, east and west and north and south, have broken with the party that promised a revision of the tariff and then revised it —upwards, and led by President Taft, laughed at the people, and called it the best tariff law ever built. When the November election comes along, the dose of yesterday will be repeated in many states, including Indiana. FOR SALE.

And spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite, One truth is clear. Whatever is, is right. —Alexander Pope. Mrs. Clem Voglewede was hostess Sunday at a 12 o'clock dinner, given ner home in honor of a number of her friends. Everything in season was to be had at the dinner and was one of the most enjoyable features of the day. The invited guests were Miss Stella Ellis, Ed Coffee and Miss Golda Brown of Chicago, 111. A very happy crowd of young people assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Liby of southwest of Monroe last Sunday. They enjoyed a very delicious dinner and afterward spent the time “swinging and joking as young folks do,” as one present said. Those present were Mr. Franklin Wagoner, Ora Lobsiger, Clarence Klopfenstine, Melvin Diehl, Jacob Hoffman. Floyd Liby, Misses Ida Smith. Lucy Wagoner. Zella Wagoner, Lottie Ford. Minnie Essex, Leon Essex and Ida Liby. The Queen Esther Band of the Methodist church met Monday evening with Miss Lucile Hale, who was assisted in entertaining by Miss Pansy Bell. Miss Dessie Mann was leader, the subject being “Missions,” and a most interesting. paper was read by Miss Florence Meyers.

A very happy surprise was that given Mrs. Catherine Martz at her home in Pleasant Mills last evening in celebration of her sixty-seventh birthday I anniversary. The members of the par-

ty were her children and their families, who came bringing their suppers. The occasion was a much-enjoyed one. Those p.-esent were D. B. Erwin and family and Asa McMillen and family. . M. F. Rice made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. John Omler of north of the city was a business visitor here this morning. A great many Decatur citizens noticed the great blaze in the southwest during the electrical storm about 11 o’clock Monday night. MlsS Evil MeOkth and Miss Hazel Meyers, who have been spending a week with Miss Ethel and Tot Hildebrand, returned to their home at Delphos last evening. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Brown and daughter changed cars here this morning on their way home to Lima after a visit with friends in Marion, where they also attended a family reunion. PAYS TO ADVERTISE “The White Stag” is a Cigar Known by Every Smoker Around Here. MADE IN DECATUR Lose & Thomas Have Pushed to the Front—The Reasons Are Plain. Lose & Thomas, the cigar makers, who have become well known in this section of the state by the immense trade on the White Stag cigars, are firm believers in the merits of advertising. This department of the business has been in charge of Mr. Henry Thomas, who has always thought a great deal of printer’s ink. A year ago he contracted for space in the Daily Democrat and he has conscientiously and consistently kept that space filled with a “Thought for today,” always on the merit o fthe White Stag. The result has been what is always the result when one advertises in the manner he should, the increase of his business a hundred per cent within I that one year. To begin with, the cigar is a good one, one which backs up what they say about it, and then he keeps saying it over and over until every one in this section thinks of that cigar when he sees a tobacco store. Mr. Thomas is a clever ad writer and his sayings have attracted much attention. When we called to see if he was satisfied with the results he had obtained he announced at once his willingness to renew his contract and showed us the figures as sworn to and sent to the government. There is no secret about it and we give them to the public with the consent of the manufacturers of the White Stag. In July of 1909 they made 18,225 White Stags and in the same month this year they made 37,575. In August, 1909, they made 21,875, and the same month this year, an even 40,000. In other words the amount made in August this year lacked but 100 of equaling the two months of last year. They are handicapped in securing help at this time, this fact alone preventing them from increasing even more rapidly. Watch their space during the next year.

PERSONALAFFRONT Is the Way the Veterans Take the Action of Senator Beveridge. SNUBBED COMMITTEE Who Appealed to Him For Aid or/the Dollar a Day Pension Bill. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 13 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Senator Beverigde’s speech to veterans of the Civil war at the Marion club last night was not attended by the Indianapolis veterans who know about the snub administered by the senator last winter to Major W. W. Robbins and a companoan, who appeared before him representing more than 4,000 Indiana veterans. Major Robbins does not feel that it was a personal affront, since he visited the senator in behalf of others. It is the 4,000 veterans of Indiana who were affronted, he believes, and for this reason he has prepared a statement telling just what occurred, so that the veterans of Indiana may judge for themselves. “I cannot conceive for what purpose Senator Beveridge would desire to address the old soldiers,” said Major Robbins, “unless to make promises, for truly he could not commend himself for anything he has done in the past for the veterans. “I was one of two members of a committee which waited on him when he was here last winter. Our mission was to present to him a petition bearing the names of more than 4,000 exsoidiers, asking for the enactment of a dollar-a-day pension law. “We, the committee, waited for an hour and a half before we were admitted to his presence. W’e presented to him the petition of our comrades, and, after glancing it over, he said it would be necessary for us to secure the influence of the president, the vice president, the committee on pensions. and the speaker of the house if we expected to succeed. “We told him that it was for this very purpose that we had called upon him —to ask him as our representative, to secure such influence and help us in our efforts. “Just then his telephone bell rang and he asked us ( the committee, to step into the hall just a moment while he answered the call. “We did so and remained there for an hour, waiting to be recalled to his presence. But we were never recalled and finally we went away without further recognition from him. But, while we waited, he and his page ushered politicians into his rooms from the reception hall. “But no wthat he seeks his personal advancement by re-election he desires to address my comrades. There is a great difference between then and now'. Last winter he could afford to push aside the representatives of more than 4,000 ex-soldiers, and let them wait in his hall like school-boys for a summons that was entirely forgotten in the more pressing business of greeting politicians. Would Senator Beveridge care to explain this action to the veterans he now professes to desire to serve? “Comradep, you now have the fruits of Senator Beveridge’s service for years. You have received no favors. And you now have the pledge of Mr. Kern, nominated on a platform embodying a plank declaring tor dollar-a-day pensions. Which will you choose when you go to the polls in November?” Major Robbins is president of the Persimmon Brigade Association, which holds its annual reunion in Indianapolis. He served in Company D, 118th Indiana, and also in Company G, 21st Indiana. He is a member of Major Robert Paterson Post, G. A. R., and is the other member of (he committee, who, with him waited on Senator Beveridge. The other member of this committee is an old school and personal friend of the senator, who feels keenly the affront to his comrades but who, because of old associations, desires that his name be not used. It is, however, a matter of record. o — — WESTERN HORSES FOR SALE. I have three western horses for sale. Not wild, ‘but easily broken. Gcfod price, if taken at once.
