Entered at the poetofflee at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter, Hon. John A. M. Adair has typhoid fever and may not be able to take a personal part in his campaign for reelection. His many Adams county friends regret this, but they hasten to assure Congressman Adair that they will make a personal effort to help him, while he is unable to help himself. The campaign in Adams county is now a reality. The splendid meetings held the past two nights tell the tale of democratic enthusiasm that is rampant in this campaign. There is no discounting the fact that the Adams county democrats are fully alive To party duty and party prospects, and that this campaign will be a live wire from this time on until the election. The Indiana campaign will open with a speech by Governor Marshall on September 29th, followed by Hon. John W. Kern on the first day of October. The later opens his senatorial campaign in the city of Evansville and it is expected that during the month of October much will be doing in the Indiana campaign. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, made a speech lu Indianapolis last week in w’hich he urged the election to the legislature of Jahn J. Keegan and other candidates. Mr. Keegan, who is a democratic nominee, spoke at the same meting .preceding Mr. Gompers. He declared that if elected he would vote for John W. Kern for United State senator He said that Kern had always been the friend of labor, and that while he was a member of the state senate in 1593 and 1895 he brought about the enactment of several laws that were beneficial to the working man. He recalled that Mr. Kern introduced and had passed the first child labor bill ever passed in Indiana, and at his instigation, also, the legislature passed the first employers' liability law that Indiana ever had. “His opponent (Beveridge) says now,” added Mr. Keegan, “that we ought to give him our support because he introduced a child labor bill which has never been passed.” And that tells the whole story so far as Mr. Beveridge and labor legislation are concerned. His interest has been a pretense or a bluff. It is either that or else he had no influence in congress (which has been continuously republican during all the twelve years of his service as senator) or his party was opposed to legislation in the in-

MR. CULLOP GLAD Takes Keen Pleasure in the Democratic Victory in State of Maine. ONE OF HIS HOBBIES Extravagance. Was a Text Used in the New England State Battle. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indfsnapolis, Ind., Sept. 16—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Representative W. A. Cullop of Vincennes regards the outcome of the Maine election with unusual satisfaction, for one of the issues involved in the overwhelming defeat of the republican party in that state was national extravagance, which is one of Representative Cullop's favorite themes. Commenting on tne democratic victory in Maine he said: "One of the issues of the campaign in Maine which has just closed with victory for the democrats, was the extravagance of the republican party. This issue is a prominent one and is aiding the democrats everywhere in their campaign against the republican party. "Doubtless the people of Maine knew of an item of expense found in the annual report of the secretary of the senate of the United States, on page 234, connected with the trip to Senator Allison's funeral, from Washington City to Chicago. This item reads: 'For incidental expenses, including postage. 122.50.’ In the language of the late lamented Ches Faulkner of Ripley county, ‘I wonder what them incidentals is!’ "It will be seen by the above item that the republican party, through its high officials, is paying tips on parlor and sleeping cars and in hotels out of the public treasury. This is but a small item but it shows the recklessness with which the republican party treats the people's money. What right has a public official to pay for incidental expenses and tips out of the public treasury And yet, by this , item it will be seen the republican , party is doing so. "Again, under items of waste, evidently the people of Maine do not approve of the appropriatioin of SB,OOO made at the last session of congress for the maintenance of four horses and two rigs for the secretary of state’s office for one year. It is also evident that the voters of Maine do not approve of paying $75.00 per month for winding four clocks in the ’ house of representatives and the Un- ■ ited States senate. It is also evident that the voters of Maine do not endorse the policy of extravagance prac- , ticed by the republican party in paying out of the public treasury money for cab hire to haul United States senators home from sessions of the senate. It is also plainly evident that the voters of Maine do not approve of the republican party in paying out of the public treasury $14,000 for lemonade forth esenators to drink during the consideration of the Payne-Al-drich tariff bill. It is also manifest that the voters of Maine do not approve of the extravagance of the republican party in paying $2,861 out of the public treasury for a stand at the national capital for the Unitel States senators to stand on to witness

the inaugural ceremonies of President Taft. “It is very clear that the voters ot Maine do not approve of the little items of extravagance of the republican party in paying out of the public treasury SIOO.OO for a carriage and four horses to convey President Taft from the white house to the capitol and return on the day of his inauguration. “The voters of Maine evidently believed that whenever senators in the senate used mineral waters, they ought to pay for them out of their own pockets and not out of the public treasury. as the report of the secretary of the United States senate shows the republican party has been doing. "After examining the items of extravagant use of the people's money contained in the report of the secretary of the United States senate, we know Senator Aldrich was right when he said in a speech on the floor of the United States senate, the 21st day of February, last, that if he were a business man and could be permitted to do so he could run this government for $300,00b,000 a year less than it was being run without crippling any department of the public service. “It will be remembered that Senator Hale of Maine was a member of the United States senate during the time these extravagant and useless expenditures were made and he never raised his voice against them. His people registered their rebuke of such conduct at the polls on last Tuesday. “The people of Maine knew that the republican party was committed to a policy of extravagance and was powerless to economize, and their only hope to reduct this unreasonable and outrageous extravagance was by electing democrats who are pledged to retrenchment and reform in this respect.” TO HERALD HOME Remains of Mrs. Malissa Miller Brought From Wapakoneta, Ohio.
