spent in battling for their country ami nights spent In beds of dampness,, when their bodies we-e Infected with germs of disease the na-> shortened , their lives and rack' 1 the*' with pain and suffering for the nee the Civil war closed, the republican spellbinders have this year, tn a frantic effort to save themselves and their party from the defeat that will come us sure as November Bth, have been arguing the pension question and ar guing it falsely. A favorite question of theirs is: "What can you old soldiers expect from sons of Confederate soldiers?" The inference that southern representatives have voted against pension legislation is as false ' as it is contemptible. During the last * ten years over 20,000 pension bills have been passed by congress and , not a single democratic member, > either from the north or south, ever ’ voted against these bills. Two years ' ago, when f.ie widows’ pension bill was passed, every democratic mem- ► , i ber, from both north and south of the ► : Mason and Dixon line, voted <cr ’t ' | Does the democrats favor pension laws ’ tnat will help the veteran or his wld- ► ow? k Another statement that republican , speakers are making is that every line ► of pension legislation on our statute * books was placed there by the ret ub- * licans. This is another one that Roosevelt, would use a “shorter and , uglier” phrase to deny. The list of ► pension bills passed by democratic * congresses is a long one, and they are * 1 good laws that have always been satis- , factory. Before the election we ex- , pect to call the attention of the solI diers and their friends to some of * I these. With reference to the dollar-a- ' day pension law we wish to say that ,! unless the congress now being elect- , ed is overwhelmingly republican, 1 which does not seem likely at this ’ time, that law will be passed, for the I democrats have always favored it, do ! so now, and if the republicans had , been half as sincere, it would now be * a law. No man who is honest can ’: say that our congressman. John A. ‘M. Adair, with his splendid record, i has not voted with the soldier, and , done all in his power in his behalf. ■ He is entitle to your support. ’ School men of the state are pleased to learn that Charles Greathouse, dem- ; ocratic candidate for superintendent | of public instruction, has announced ; : that when he is elected he will retain | Elmer Bunnell and Huffman as his assistants In tile office. These men ; have proven their ability under Rob-, ert J. Aley, whose administration of the office is recognized as the most efficient the state has had in the past thirty-five years and as Mr. Great- 1 house intends to conduct the office ' along the lines laid down by Mr. Aley !

' Bonnell and Huffman will be well fit-! 5 ted to assist him. No branch ot the activities of the state official family is more fundamentally important than | that which has charge of the scchools, | the training grounds, for the state’s future citizens, and it is of primal Importance that Greathouse be elected in order that he may have the assist ante of men trained by the greatest school man in the state in carrying out his policies. Mr. Aley will retire from the office the first of December to take up his studies at the head of the University of Maine.—Columbia City Post. If any democrat happens to say that Roosevelt ‘called United States Judge A. B. Anderson, a “damned jack-ass and a crook," the republican press will probably call it mud-sl'ng-Ing. Still it has been used from . coast to coast, and Teddy the great has not even denied it. In fact he refuses to deny it. Fine language for an ex-president to be using. John W. Kern, the able lawyer and the man whom more people of Indiana would like to see wearing the senatorial toga than any other citizen of this great state, will fully appreciate every vote cast for a man who will vote for him and will prove it by giving all his time to accomplishing those things which will be to your greatest interest. WHEN SUCH ABLE. CONSCIENTIOUS, CHRISTIAN MEN AS GOVERNOR .MARSHALL AND WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN ADVISE YOU TO VOTE FOR MEN WHO WILL SUPPORT JOHN W. KERN FOR THE SENATE, YOU MAY FEEL SAFE IN DOING SO. HIS ELECTION TO , THE SENATE AT THIS TIME | MEANS MUCH FOR EVERY CITIi ZEN OF INDIANA. DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE MISLEAD. VOTE FOR JACOB BUTCHER FOR REPRESENTATIVE. John W. Kern will be the next Un- : ited States senator from Indiana. Jacob Butcher will vote for him. We believe those two facts as firmly as we believe anything, but we want such a majority for Mr. Butcher that there will be no doubt in the minds j of any man, as to the endorsement of , Mr. Kern. Get to work. Organize, j Roll in a vote that will do this. You democrats have been fighting this bat- | tie ir half a century. Don’t let any slippery politician fool you either by I his words or those of some one he sends to you, to do otherwise. Our time is at hand. Jacob Butcher, a pioneer of the | county, a veteran of the Civil war, a respected citizen here long before , most of us voters were born, is the . democratic nominee for representa- . tive, and we know of no man in this great county who has a better right , to ask the suffrage of the voters of the county and get it. He is a jovial 1
