Entered at tne poetofQee at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter Every voter knows that it is now too late to move even from one precinct to another without losing his vote. An American citizen who does so shows that he has not the real interest of this government at heart. The man who does not vote deserves to live in some other country where he has not the right as he has here to exercise his privilige of assisting in selection of the men who make laws and the men who see that they are executed. If you have to move, put it off until the Bth of November. Because he has supported a child labor bill (a bill which has not been passed) Senator Beveridge is asking for the organized labor vote of the state. But when It is recalled that he is being actively supported by the bitterest foes organized labor has in this country and that he has never actually done anything for labor ex-

cept to talk about what he is "going to do" (but never does it) It must be clear that he has not the slightest claim upon any part of the labor vote. On the other hand John W. Kern has not only been the consistent friend of labor but he has championed all helpful legislation, and, while, a member of the Indiana senate, procured the passage of many laws asked for by labor organizations. Beveridge makes loud promises in campaign time, but does nothing, while Kern, without noise, accomplishes things that his opponent only talks about. The difference is very great, Indeed. The various contests for other offices should not cause voters to overlook the very great importance of electing the democratic state ticket by a most decisive majority. On that subject, Governor Marshall says: "I do not know that my conduct of the office which the people of this state conferred upon me two years ago has been so satisfactory as to meet with the approval of a majority of the people. I do know that even if it has, that fact does not warrant me in asking anything for myself. If my administration has been satisfactory, then, with the knowledge which I possess of the character, ability and integrity of the candidates upon the democratic state ticket, I am warranted in assuring the voters of this state that their election to the several offices for which they are candidates, will result in giving to the people as good if not better service than I have rendered.” Governor Marshall has been able to accomplish much for the good of the state, but with the aid of a democratic legislature and with democrats filling the various state offices who are thoroughly in harmony with the policies of the chief executive, he will be in a position to do more than has heretofore been possible. The governor has more than two years to serve, and the people owe It to themselves that he shall be supported and not handicapped by the results of next month’s election. There can be no doubt about democratic success all along the line, but it should be so complete and emphatic as to show conclusively what it means. SOCIETY DOINGS D. B.

Henry Schultz, who runs a dray and moving van, and while engaged in the work of moving the household goods of Elmer Smith at the corner of Seventh and Adams streets, had a mishap which will lay him up for several days. He was about to start up with his load when an engine belonging to M. Mumma came along and in some way or other the horse of Mr. Schultz gave a sudden jerk, causing him to receive a severe strain of the neck. He was obliged to go some and this morning was confined to his home, and he cannot turn his head without causing a most severe pain. — o CARD OF THANKS.
