VOTE FOR KERN • No democrat has any excuse for voting for Beveridge Instead of Kern to get progressive legislation," said Mr. Bryan. "There are many kinds of progressive republicans, and some progressives have many kinds of progreasivencM in them. 1 tried for a iong time to locate Roosevelt in this matter and at Osawatomie 1 thought I had found him. But then he went and .dipped away from .... ' a»i .n't found him yet. Here in Indiana be tells you to vote for Beveridge because he is a progressive. In Nebraska he says vote for Burkett, a standpatter. Now he is I in Massnshusetts telling the people to vote for Senator Lodge, the king ot standpatters, who was the principal aid of Senator Aldrich in the senate. “When he gets in his progressive automobile in Kansas he Is a joy rider. But in New York he slows down until you have to get behind the automobile if you want to be run over. "When I want to criticize a standpatter I quote what an insurgent says about him. When I want to criticize an insurgent I am ashamed to quote what a standpatter says about him." Mr. Bryan said that the republicans for years had been thinking that they were in power. They are mistaken. They are holding the offices, but the democratic party is in power, he said. It has created public sentiment which has forced the republicans to adopt the doctrines ot the democrats years ago. “I would rather belong to a minority that leads the majority than to a majority that is led by a minority.” said Mr. Bryan He said that the progressive republicans have taken all of their progressive Ideas from the democratic platforms of former campaigns. The democratic platforms have declared for the election of senators by direct vote of tbe people; an income tax; railroad regulation and publicity of campaign contributions, and have contained all of the planks which were of interest to labor, he said. BEVERIDGE AT RICHMOND When Roosevelt declined to address an audience that had been waiting for him at Richmond, Senator Beveridge took his place and made a speech. William Dudley Foulke has a complete report of this speech. Why didn't be print all of it in his Richmond Item? Why do the democrats want to have it printed? Surely Mr. Foulke finds nothing discreditable in the public utterances of Senator Beveridge. The democratic county chairman has offered |25 to charity if Mr. Foulke will print it In full, or If Foulke will give hirn a copy. Why doesn t be do it? Though the Peerless Bryan has left the state, the speaking campaign promises to be most Interesting during -the next two weeks. Senator Gore of Oklahoma. ex-Senator Towne of New York, Mr. Kern. Senator Shively, Governor Marshall, L. Ert Slack, Samuel Ralston and a dozen others, will continue to hold meetings, discussing tbe big questions of the hour and time. Don't forget that the people of Indiana need John W. Korn in the United States senate worse then any reform that has been talked of in recent years. He will serve six years if elected, and will do more toward

beneflttlng mankind than la Imagined by tbe ordinary voter who does nut study public question*. A vote fur Jacob Butcher means a vote for Kern. Maybe Roosevelt heard about the "Senator Beveridge" cigar. Ur possibly he learned about A. M. Glossbrcnner's connection with the Beveridge campaign No—on second thought it must have been something else. These things would not disturb him. Rollin Warner, recently nominated as Congremiman Adair's opponent, seems to be lost sight of. Warner, like all others, realises the hopelessmas of tbe task, and seemingly has practically abandoned tbe race Wart.er so far ha* made a very unfavorable impression, and It would not be surprising If Congressman Adair's majority is even larger than that of two years ago.—Winchester Democrat Gee Whiz! What's the matter? The Chicago Inter-Ocean has given it up. In a three-column article written by a special staff man, from Indianapolis, and printed in Thursday paper, that paper says the democrats will probably elect thirteen congressmen in Indiana and send John W. Kern to the senate in place of Albert Jeremiah Beveridge. When "The only republican paper of Chicago” goes to that extent, it looks like a great victory is In sight sure. Adams county wants to do her share in a year like this. Let's increase our old record of 1727. Mr. Bryan’s popularity in this state wanes none. The people go to hear him and become almost as wildly enthusiastic over him as they did back in the strenuous days of the '96 campaign, when he began the crusade against wicked interests and founded the platform that has been so deftly appropriated by the colonel. Albert Jeremiah and other reformers, progresives and insurgents. Mr. Bryan has just concluded a remarkable series of speeches in Indiana in behalf of his friend, John W. Kern, and he has been the biggest feature of the Hoosier campaign so far. not even making exception of Colonel Roosevelt.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Declaring that it would be a calamity to the nation if Senator Lodge should fall of re-election, The „ore Roosevelt spoke in Boston Friday night in behalf of the republican party of Massachusetts. He said the senator was a friend of progressive legislation, and that there were no differences of opinion as to the basic principle of protection, as the republican party stood solidly on the tariff commission plan as contained in its last national platform. The colonel made no reference to the Payne-Aldrich, bill, confining bls remarks to an indorsement of the tariff plank of the republican state platform and of the tariff board scheme. He said he was advocating the same political principles in his speech that he had advocated in all his «pe-'Ches during the summer from the Rocky mountains to the eastern seaboard. The cartoon in the Inter-Ocean Thursday morning was bad enough, but tbe news from Indianapolis from a staff correspondent, added Insult to Injury. In great black letters at the head of the first two columns were these words: /'Hoosier Congressional Slate Full of Cracks; Crumpacker in Danger,” To confess that there Is danger of tho defeat of Congressman Crumpacker with a normal republican majority or ten thousand is the jiext thing to a confession that tbe party in the whole state has about gone to smash, and that, in reality, is the real situation. This special correspondent rather thinks the entire Indiana dedelgallon in congress will be democratic. There are two or three districts in which there is a doubt, but the Inter-Ocean special writer gives the shade to the democrats in every district In the state. The Inter-Ocean has always been the fork, upon which the party planted Its hopes in years gone by. and they are dumb with amazement at the change that has overcome the paper In this campaign.—Columbia City Post.

AN OPEN LETTER. To the Voters of Adams County:— I regret very much that I have not been able to see you personally during the campaign. I began my work early, fully expecting to visit and speak in practically every township in the district, but a six weeks siege of typhoid fever has made it impossible for me to do so. I trust however, my illness has not endangered my chances for re-election, but that my friends have done for me, even more than 1 could have done for myself. I have striven hard during the past four years to render valuable service to the people of this district, and 1 believe the fight I have made against the trusts, special interests, Wall Street plunderers, and also against extravagance in public expenditures hasjmet the approval of men of all parties. I know I am better qualified now to render excellent service than ever before, and if re-elected my highest ambition will be to so act and to so do, that no one will have cause to regret it. Thanking you for the splendid vote given me two years ago, and for what I feel sure you will do on November Bth, I beg to remain, Very Truly Yours J. A. M. ADAIR-
