BRYAN'S SPEECH Mr. Bryan made a great political ■ speech in this city Wednesday night. ' He dealt with all the national issues that are in the present campaign, dealt with them fairly, honestly and , effectively. There was little mere ■ oratory, but a great deal of sober and ' extraordinarily clear reasoning. On most of the new —or supposedly new —questions, the speaker showed that , the democratic party had been far in > advance of its great rival. And that ’ is true. Direct election of senators, campaign fund publicity, the income tax, railroad regulation, had all been , urged in democratic platforms and by . democrats on the floor of congresses ’ long before the republicans or Mr. Roosevelt took them up. Indeed, most of these policies have been opposed by some of the republicans who are now most clamorous in their support. No one knows even yet what are Mr. Roosevelt’s views on the income tax or campaign fund publicity. Two years ago when the democrats were making public their contributions prior to the election, Mr. Roosevelt opposed such publicity. A few weeks ago he declared for it as though it were some new thing. His New York convention met and wholly ignored the subject. And now the hat is being passed as usual in Wall street. It is largely true, as Mr. Bryan said, that the democratic party has been in power for fourteen years, though it has not been in office. It has influenced political thought far more than most people have realized. And today insurgency is only democi racy writ small. Mr. Bryan spoke strongly against national incorporation of railroads, and trusts, a central bank, the tariff commission and the new nationalism, and his argument was impressive. The whole scheme, as he showed, was to concentrate power at Washington, then to consolidate power in the president at the expense of the legislative and judicial departments, and then to have the president "stand as a sort of earthly father and take care of us." — Indianapolis News. John W. Kern is making the greatest campaign of his life and deserves the success he has earned through ■ thirty years of battling for democratic ’ principles. Indiana will be proud of ’ his record in congress. The republican politicians are grasping at straws just now in hopes of warding off the defeat that is sure to come on November th. They are . making every effort to cause a rupture in the democratic ranks, but are making little progress. Don't let them fool you? It’s politics and nothing else. Jacob Butcher, the democratic nominee for representative, is oneßof the pioneer citizens of the county. He is highly respected by his neighbors and acquaintances. He will represent this grand old county in the halls of legislature ably and honestly and fearlessly and will vote for John W. Kern for United States senator. John A. M. Adair has written an open letter to the voters of this county in which he asks the support of every citizen. He deserves it. His four years in congress have been I spent in the interests of the people lof the Eighth district. It has been a I pleasure for him to fight for those view-s he believes in and they have always been to the Interest of the peo-

ple. He will continue to do so if returned and his four years have given him the experience necessary to do things. His Illness has prevented him from meeting all the voters as is his usual custom, but he will appreciate your support the more. • i. j . j Mr. Bryan denounces the republican theory that we could make the people prosperous by making a few men at the top prosperous in the hope that they would pass the prosperity along. He insists that we should begin at the bottom and make the masses prosperous by enacting wise and fair laws framed in the interests of the whole people. —— Speaking of Mr. Bryan's speech, the Indianapolis News said: "It was that rarest of things, a vote-making speech. Mr. Kern is fortunate in having such an advocate. It was a sympathetic and while-hearted plea for the election of Mr. Kern, a plea in which all the great issues were discussed, and as such was in striking contrast with the speech delivered last week from the same platform in advocacy of the election of Mr. Beveridge. There were no dodging and no mere generalities, no homilies in praise of virtues which all admit to be admirable. Mr. Bryan, unlike Mr. Beveridge s champion, discussed controverted questions. And he carried his audience with him Those who were not fortunate enough to hear the speech should read it. The man who begins it will hardly find it possible to lay it down till he has finished it." Another two weeks will practically close the campaign of 1910. Every prospect is for democratic success. From every section of Indiana comes the cheering messages of a victory that will again put the people in power, and will elect to the United States senate that sterling citizen. John W. Kern. Adams county has always led the list when democratic votes are counted out. and we have been known for many decades as the banner green spot of Indiana. This year should not fail and will not prove an exception, but there is work to do yet. Every democrat should be on the alert. Don’t let a democrat move and lose his vote if you can help it. Don’t allow any person to persuade you or your friends to vote against any part o fthe ticket on some silly pretext, when the real cause is politics, pure and simple. In the past we have always done our part. Let us not fail behind now. With tide turned toward democracy, Old Adams county should roll up a majority of two thousand. Organize your district and get ready for election day. Get out the vote early and there will be no doubt as to the result.

The best way to deliver a man from calamity is to put a song in his heart. There are some who sink under their calamity, and there are some who swim through it. I think that you will find that the difference between these lies in the comparative amount of their previous cheer. The balance generally turns on the hearing or not hearing of yesterday’s song. They who have the song already in their heart pass over the Red sea; they who have heard no previous music are submerged in the wave.— George Matheson. i On last Sunday at the home of ( Frank Gleckler, five miles south of Monroeville, a surprise party was given in "onor of Mrs. Margaret Gleck- i ler’s seventy-sixth birthday anniver- < sary.
