John W. Kern, that splendid citizen, thorough gentleman, able lawyer and fighter for the right, is deserving of , your support. The vote for representative in Adams county should be so ’ large that he will know we approve him. , Special articles in the Indianapolis ’ News, the Chicago Inter-Ocean and the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday ■ I . practically concede the state of Tndi- ' | ana to the democrats, including from eleven to thirteen congressmen. Ma- , | ion county will go to the democrats . they say by 3,000, clinching the state. NO ONE MAN IN THE UNITED STATES HAS GIVEN MORE THOUGHT TO THE GREAT MORAL QUESTIONS AS WELL AS ALL , THE REST OF THE BIG PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO YOU THAN HAS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. HE COMES TO INDIANA AND TELLS YOU TO SUPPORT KERN. DO IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. William J. Bryan says that if he lived in Indiana he would support John W. Kern. He says it advisedly after much study of the question. He would not have come here to say so, had he not conscientiously believed it right. Don’t sidetrack on any other theory. It’s a simple case of politics, in which those who have been against you and your interests want you to help them further their schemes. From now on it will be a hot finish. The democrats of Adams county are always good finishers and the time from this until two weeks from tomorrow will be taken up constantly in speaking, precinct meetings and the completion of an organization that will get out the vote. Let's give the old ticket the biggest majority we ever did. Do you want the cost of living reduced? Do you believe it wrong to protect the big trusts at your expense? Do you want the great state of Inj diana represented in the senate by a clean, strictly moral and upright man,

a fearless fighter, a man of Ihe people who la just an common us you are? it you do- VOTE FOR JACOB BUTCHER, who stands pledged to voto for John W. Kern for United States senator. Ex-Senator J. B. Foraker of Ohio is the latest statesman to assail ex-Pres-Idem Roosevelt and his new nationalism, and he did it in old-style Foraked fashion. John A. M. Adair, democratic nominee for congress, has again started : on his speaking campaign, after a six weeks’ siege of typhoid fever. Os course he cannot show the vigor of old, but the fact that he returns to work, almost as soon as he is able to work, is conclusive proof of his indomitable energy. He is just this persevering and industrious in congress. Vote for him. There are those who criticize any person who dares to say aught against Albert J. Beveridge, or even repeat stories told in the republican press—that's called mud-slinging. But there was a time when it was perfectly proper to call any man who even thought of supporting the democratic ticket and Mr. Bryart, an anarchist, or any other old name. If the senior senator is all right it can be easily proven by a little investigation, and if he is not it's his own fault, and he should stand on his actions. The real rally in this section of Indiana wil be held at Fort Wayne on the Saturday evening before election, when Governor Thomas R. Marshall and several other eloquent speakers will address the crowd which gathers there. Two years ago Mr. Marshall closed the campaign in Allen county with a monster Twelfth district meeting. This year it will be a northeastern Indiana rally and delegations from all over this part will attend. Decatur and Adams county will be well represented. Get ready to go. If you are a democrat and have fought for the principles you believe right, the big principles of government; if you are opposed to the centralization of government; the placing of the powers in the hands of a few; the lower cost of living that permits you to live and keep your family comfortable; if you are opposed to the tariff laws that build up a tew mighty fortunes at the expense of the many; if you are for the People, as against the big interests, which do as they please when in control; then it’s your duty to vote tor Jacob Butcher for representative and in doing so vote for John W. Kern. This is no little local question. It is a big, broad and important one, wherein rests a vote for a man who will battle for the right, for your real interests for six years to come. Don’t be mislead. Don’t make a mistake. “A damned crook and a jackass” is

' the very complimentary term applied to Judge Anderson of the United ' states court by Theodore Roosevelt jon his recent visit to Indiana. ComIng from the ex-president or the Unit-; ed States, we might ask why he ap-1 pointed such a num to such a high office. The truth is that Judge Anderson is an able judge and the vituperation heaped upon him by Roosevelt, because he did not agree with him in the persecution of Delevan Smith, editor of the Indianapolis News, was utterly uncalled for. When an ex-presi-dent is permitted to do such things, what respect may be expected from the every-day citizen for the courts of > I our land? ■ ■ ' Charles A. Greathouse, democratic ' candidate for superintendent of public instruction, has announced that in case be is successful at the November election, he will retain as his deputies E. G. Bunnell and J. I. Hoffman. These men arc thoroughly familiar with the plans of the office and with the work outlined for the year. They have worked hand in hand with Superintendent Aley, and understand better than any one else the nature of the work tp be done in the immediate future. No man has given to the office of superintendent of public instruction better service than has Dr. Aley. He iis recognized everywhere as one of the most efficient educators in the country. It is gratifying to know that, although he, himself, goes to a new ’field, his policies will be continued. By retaining Mr. Bunnell and Mr. ‘Hoffman, assurance is given that the high standards in force in the office will be continued. Superintendent Aley will remain in charge of the office until December Ist, at which time he will become president of the University of Maine. His many friends regret that he is to leave the state, but are pleased to know that Indiana is able to furnish men wanted in other states.

St. !! 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 I 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 I believe the fight I have made against the trusts, special interests, Wall Street plunderers, and also against extravagance in public expenditures Ms met the approval of men of all parties. 1 know am better qualified now to render excellent service han 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.
