JJERE ARE Suits and Overcoats good for that tired feeling-they are such a relief to the man who has grown weary of Common Stocks. The way they are modeled and made, and styled and tailored, is only a little less surprising than the way they are priced. Michaels, Stern & Co. have a reputation for building good clothes, and this Fall the showing is adapted to make any man proud. Let us make a new man of you. SUITS SI2. to $22.50 O’COATS $lO. to $25.

Kern is still canvassing ► the state and he is making a great * campaign, clean, yet logical are his , arguments and the voter must surely , realize the interest he will have in ► his welfare if elected. Vote for John * Kern, than whom Indiana has no no- ’ bier men. He has had sufficient ex- > perience. He has always been close > to the laboring man, the business > man. the farmer, the teacher, and ► knows what laws will help you. ► IF JOHN W. KERN BECOMES > UNITED STATES SENATOR, AND > THAT IS THE HOPE OF THOU- > SANDS OF VOTERS IN INDIANA, ► HE MUST BE CHOSEN BY THE ► REPRESENTATIVES AND SENA- * TORS OF INDIANA IN JOINT SES- * SION. IT IS THEREFORE MOST IM- , PORTANT THAT WE ELECT DEMt OCRATS THIS YEAR TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BIG PURPOSE, AND * THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US THIS YEAR. FILL THE SENATE WITH MEN LIKE JOHN W. KERN, CLEAN AND ABLE, AND YOU WILL DO AWAY WITH MANY OF THE LOCAL QUESTIONS. VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET STRAIGHT THIS YEAR OF ALL YEARS. And now some of the brethren are loudly asseverating that Mr. Roosevelt is not in the campaign here in Indiana in any sense of the word. But how long ago was it that we were jubilantly assured that his “progress” through the state would mean ten thousand votes for the party? Well, he came and made several speeches, in which he culd not find time to mention President Taft, nor to say a word for the issue on which Senator Beveridge is making his appeal for votes; coarsely abused the federal judge at Indianapolis; ended up with the funny fiasco at the home town of his most famous adorer, and now — he is not in the campaign anyway!— Indianapolis News. A democratic congress in 1895 abolished the rates of two and four dollars and fixed the lowest rate of pension at six dollars per month; an act of February 12, 1889, granted an increase in pensions from 872 per month to SIOO to all persons who lost I both hands in the service; in 1888 they increased the pension where deafness was the cause; June 7, 1888, they passed a law granting arrears to widows from date of death of the husband, affecting 200,000 widows; act of March 19, 1886, democratic congress, increased widows’ pensions from SB.OO to $12.00 per month, affecting about 80,000 widows; 1879, granted arrears of pensions from date of discharge, benefitting more than 225,000 pensioners, though the republicans had control of congress for ten years following the war, this was the first law of the kind and so we might go on through dozens of splendid bills due to democrats. The old soldier need have no fear as to legislation in their behalf If they support democrats for congress, especially that splendid citizen and friend of theirs, I John A. M. Adair, who has proven his faithfulness to them during the past four years on every occasion. In his speech at Newcastle Senator Beveridge very generously advised the people to vote for Congressman Barnard, who presided ever the meeting addressed by the senator. The situation was of course somewhat emI harassing; but was B wise for Senator Beveridge, who is asking support largely because he voted against the

Payne bill, to urge the people to cast their votes for Mr. Barnard, who voted for ft? The senator admitted that he and the representative differed on some subjects, but Insisted that they "both were working for the common good of the people." Most men in public lire believe that they are doing just that. The question is as to their views of what is "for the common good of the people.” If, as Senatr Beveridge believes, n vole against the Payne bill was a vote "for the common good of the people,” a vote for tlrat bill could not be. One or the other of these men made a serious mistake on a vital subject. How can the senator ask those who believe the Payne bill to be bad to vote for both him and Mr. Barnard? It looks as though the effort were one to elect a republican just because he is a republican, and without any regard to his public record. And yet we are told that this year the appeal is to men, not as members of this or that party, but to men as citizens without regard to party, told that the great issues for which the insurgents stand wholly transcend party.—lndianapolis News. ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IS DISGUSTED. Geneva. Ind., Oct. 25, 1910. Editor Decatur Democrat: Please allow me space in your paper to say: Since I have been a voter, for ten years or more. I have as a rule, voted the republican ticket, but since reading the Decatur DailyTimes and the Berne Witness for the past month, including the false, malicious and slanderous editorials against Jacob Butcher, candidate on the democratic ticket tor representa- ! tive, a man whom I have known all my life, and know him to be a straight, honest and upright man, of moral habits, a member in good standing in the U. B. church for more than twenty years, 1 must bid adieu to the once grand old party and will henceforth cast my lot with the democratic party. 1 know a number of other good republicans who have become disgusted with the rotten vituperation published in the Times and Witness who will do likewise, F. S. ARMANTROUT.
