Entered at the poetoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter Hon. John W. Tyndall of Decatur was in the city Saturday on business. He represented the senatorial district composed of Allen and Adams counties at one time in the state legislature and is an enthusiastic democrat. He says that in his opinion there is widespread disgust among the people with the manner in which the general government has been conducted and he expects to see some big surprises when the votes are counted in November. The Maine wave is traveling westward and will include a large portion of the country, and for that reason the pathway of the storm is likely to be strewn with a good many republican statesmen who have fallen by the way side. —Columbia City Post. Senator Beveridge's avowed endorsement and pleas to the voters to Support Congressmen Crumpacker and Barnhard, both rank standpatters, is beyound understanding, that is, if Senator Beveridge is a real progressive. If he stands for the people as he repeatedly claims, how can he ask the people to support republican candidates who are knowingly opposed to the people? Senator Beveridge is not only weakening his cause but people are losing faith in his sincerity. When he comes to Portland on October 21st, he will doubtless ask the voters to support Rollin Warner, a corporation and trust lawyer, for congress against Congressman Adair, who, during his four years in congress. has stood nobly by the people In congress and out of congress — Portland Sun. Hon. John W. Kern was greeted by

an inspiring audience at the court room Saturday evening and for two hours discussed the tariff and the record of Senator Beveridge. His address was an able presentation of the issues as they affect and interest the people and the voters of this great commonwealth. His discussion of the tariff was especially interesting, and the audience manifested their approval in a hearty way, thus showing that the tariff and the high cost of living are the great questions of the campaign. Mr. Kern is making great and convincing speeches, s h o wl ng how the words and deeds of Senator Beveridge contrast. He is standing the campaign well and his thousands of friends in Adams county wish for him the greatest Success, and hope to see him grace a seat in the senate of the United States, Governor Thomas R. Marshall is going to make a democratic address in Foit Wayne Saturday evening, November sth, four weeks hence. Governor Marshall will not make a partisan address—he will discuss issues honestly and fairly and every man, woman and child can listen to him and find inspiration in his truths. That is the political phase of Governor Marshall's coming to Fort Wayne. What the Journal-Gazette suggests is a neighborly welcome to Governor Marshall —a welcome to the public servant in whom the people have realized full measure of satisfaction, a welcome to the man who will be presented to the next democratic national convention as Indiana's candidate for president. The people of Fort Wayne will enthusiastically greet him as such and Fort Wayne wants to invite the people of northern Indiana to participate in a good, old fashioned welcome to one of the greatest and best men Indiana has produced. Let the people of the Twelfth, the Eighth, the Eleventh and Thirteenth congressional districts come in. let the farmers hitch up the horses, and, if necessary, to accommodate the whole family, use the wagon—but come in and greet Indiana's governor—Thomas R. Marshall. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. MEN WANTED —To cut corn at the county farm. We have about twentw acres to cut and want a couple of men to help. Call at once. 239t2

LOOKS REAL GOOD First Week of Democratic Campaigning Concludes With Great Showing. POINTS TO VICTORY Marshall, Kern and Shively and Others Are Now Touring State. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU, 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —After the first , week of campaign speaking the demoi cratic outlook is brighter than ever. > There is no doubt that the first formal campaign utterances of John W. Kern, Governor Marshall and Senator [ Shively made a remarkable impres- [ sion upon the voters of Indiana. This . advantage has been consistently pur- . sued during the week just closed and the effect is marked. It is admitted here that the com- . bination of Kern, Marshall and Shive- • ly is a formidable one and it Is get- ! ting in telling blows. Democratic njanagers are congratulating themselves that there is no “lost motion” . in the combination. Each speaker is performing an individual and imporI tant function in the campaign, and t taken as a whole, backed up by the other democratic speakers, they have presented arguments and views that t the republicans are finding it hard to i meet. Governor Marshall is causing the Beveridge organization many uneasy ■ hours. For all their vaunted predici tions of an enormous majority for Beveridge, the truth prevails and in . the privacy of the committee rooms the inroads made last week by the governor are apptaised at true value. The republican managers realize that Governor Marshall had the confidence of the people when he began his speaking campaign. His first speech was pitched along lines that Increased this confidence. The people believe in the governor and even those who differ from him politically are giving careful consideration to his

views upon public questions. His stand for local self government and his analysis of the republican party’s omission of a liquor plank in the state platform have brought many repub. • can voters, as well as temperance' democrats, to see the question in a new light. The fact that they are promised no option at all by the republicans, and that the democratic party is pledged to a local option law that “will stick,” is rather startling to tliose who have been deluded into believing that the republican party is the temperance party. The governor has shown the people that the exact reverse is true. The republican papers realize their danger and are adroitly attempting to deceive the people of the state by saying merely that the governor stands for the repeal of the county option law. They forget altogether to add that he pledges his party to enact in place of the county option law a new one in accordance with the declaration of the party’s state platform —a law which will be clearly constitutional and put the liquor question out of politics altogether. The governor has been congratulated personally by hundreds of people who have been attending his meetings, and telegrams and letters have poured into his office at the state house, commending him for his stand and the wisdom of his utterances. The following letter from Evansville is a fair sample of the feeling of the people: “My Dear Governor: “I am not much of a letter writer, but am so elated, not only as a democrat but as a citizen of Indiana over your speech that I cannot refrain from sincerely congratulating the people of our good state, the party you represent and yourself upon the highclass, sound, sensible democratic speech made by you at Tomlinson Hall (Indianapolis) Monday night. “I have heard and read a great many keynote speeches, but this puts the key in place, turns back the barriers, points out and opens the way. and nothing now will keep the voters from following your guidance until the people through the democratic party will have sound, sensible and honest government. “To my mind it is the best and highest political speech I have ever read. Again, I sincerely congratulate the people, the party and your own good self.” . "feature of the opening

week of the campaign is the manner in which John W. Kern is “going after’’ Senator Beveridge on his labor record and his opposition to the income tax, as well as his support of the ship subsidy graft. Mr. Kern is asking Senator Beveridge to explain the little matters to the people ot Indiana, but as yet there has been nothing but deep silence from the senator. As a matter of fact Mr. Kern has a record of deeds to present to the laboring men of Indiana on his own behalf, and the senator is offg"ing nothing but promises of what he will do. Mr. Kern's pledge to the old soldiers is convincing. “If I am elected,” said he, at Marion, “and I am satisfied that I will be, I here and now promise you veterans that if I do not do more in two years for you than Senator Beveridge has done in his twelve years, I will resign. The government has not kept its contract with you men who saved it. I shall do my best to see that that contract is binding and in force.” Senator Shively has devoted much of his time to discussions of the tariff, a subject in which he is acknowledged an expert. Hr; is making clear to the people of Indiana the iniquity of many of the schedules and the fact that the only way to get honest revision is by the election of democratic congressmen who are pledged to this reform. Each of the democratic speakers has faced big audiences and they are entering the second week of the campaign with renewed vigor and confidence. Preparations are being made to give Anon B. Parker of New York a big reception when he speaks in Indianapolis October 15th. Mr. Parker was the democratic party's nominee for president in 1904 and he has many friends here.
