Ralston at the court house in this city next Friday evening. Mr. Ralston is one of the greatest political speakers and thinkers of Indiana and his address will be well worth hearing. Be sure to arrange your affairs so you can join the crowd that is going from here to Fort Wayne, Saturday evening November, sth, to hear Gov. Marshall and other brilliant orators in the dosing campaign meeting of the year. We want 200. The boys are lining up. Don't get out of the good old fold. We have fought a half century for the victory that is now in sight. Adams county is going to roll up a majority this , year that will please John W. Kern,

J. A. M . Adair and all the rest of the leaders. — iv As far back as 1904 Senator Beveridge was admitting that the cost of living was Increasing. ‘The price of meat is temporarily higher,” he said. And it’s been getting temporarily higher” ever since. This is one page of the record to which the republican party, in its platform, does not "point with pride.” John A. M. Adair has ween the best friend of the old soldiers of this district that they ever had in the con-gressional-halls. He has proven it on every occasion. He is in favor of a dollar a day pension law. not just because there is a campaign on but because he believes it right. He has proven this by his stand in your favor at every opportunity You know it and if you will be honest with yourself you cannot help casting your ballot for him. He is also for the farmer, the business man, the laboring man, and for all his constituency. Jacob Butcher, one of our fellow townsmen is gaining in great favor as a political speaker, and is in demand to fill various appointments. Mr. Butcher is well posted, and has an opinion of his own on all matters of state. We have always found him honorable ip all bis dealings and has that standing among his home people. Mr. Butcher has been loyal to his country as a civil war veteran, and •has all his life been identified with the country’ growth and development, and always familiar with the political affairs of the state and district. —Geneva Herald. Every school teacher in this county who has a vote should cast it for Charles Greathouse for Superintendent of Public instruction at the election on November Bth. So should everyoneelse interested in educational advancement, It is well known that under the efficient service of Dr. Robert Aley as state superintendent’s that office has been well managed, the schools have taken a step far ahead of most of our sister states. While Dr. Aley is greatly responsible for this he has been auly assisted by the force in his office and Mr. Greathouse has announced that if elected he will retain this force:. This means much to the schools of Indiana. It means that the schools will continue to go forward aided by the work in that office and we believe that every voter shoul dwork to that end. This is not exactly politics but because it is for the good of every one. FROM EVERY PORTION OF OLD ADAMS COUNTY COMES THE REPORT THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE LINING UP FOR THE BATTLE OF NOVEMBER BTH. UP UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO POLITICS HAD BEEN DISCUSSED ONLY GENERALLY. NOW AS THE FINISH NEARS, EVERY ONE IS UP AND DOING. IT WILL BE A GLORIOUS VICTORY, IN WHICH YOU SHOULD JOIN US. PUT JOHN KERN IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO BOTHER EVERY FEW MONTHS ABOUT LOCAL ISSUES. PUT JOHN ADAIR BACK IN CONGRESS AND YOUR WELFARE WILL BE LOOKED AFTER THERE HONESTLY AND WELL. PUT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES FOR STATE OFFICES IN INDIANA INTO OFFICE TO BACK THEM AND GOVERNOR MARSHALL UP. AND YOU WILL RECEIVE REAL RELIEF FROM THE TYRANTES OF THE TRUSTS, THE BIG CORPORATIONS. AND THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS. VOTE IT FROM FIRST TO LAST. DON’T GO WRONG.

If "Mary of the vine-clad cottage” finds it either necessary or convenient to do her own washing she should not forget that under the “protective” tariff for which Senator Beveride stands, she pays tariff taxes as follows: Twenty per cent on her soap; 25 per cent on her ammonia; starch 1% cents a pound; bluing, 30 per cent; wash board, 35 per cent; wringer, 35 per cent; clothes basket 35 per cent; clothespins, 35 per cent. On the tub over which "Mary” bends and scrubs there is a tariff tax of 35 "per cent. The

'bench or chair it rests on are taxed 35 per cent and the puper pall beside them is tariff taxed 35 per cent. The boiler in which the clothes are boiled is tariff-taxed not less than 45 per cent. If she has been able to save up and get a mangle, the metal castings for It are tariff-taxed 1 cent a pound, the wooden rollers 35 per cent; and the framework 35 per.cent. Nothing is so small and no one so poor as to be overlooked. And these laundry taxes are only a part of the general scheme of tariff extortion of which "Mary” and her family are victims. Jacob Butcher, veteran of the Civil war, lawyer, splendid citizen and a man good to meet at any time, will represent this district 1 nthe legislative halls of Indiana, in a manner satfactory to every citizen. He will discuss with you the needs and will vote as he believes right on all questions of importance. Along with these qualifications he stands committed to vote for John W. Kern for United States senator, a most important fact. Vote for him. Senator Beveridge has openly declared the unfairness of the ship subsidy bill FOR WHICH HE VOTED, and now in the last stages of campaign fright, when he is willing to do anything, promise anything to save the Job which he has held for twelve years, and found a soft one, he is declaring that be will oppose such measures. May we not judge the future by the past? SOCIETY DOINGS Hallowe'en Festival at the Home of Mrs. F. Heuer Last Evening. BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Given For Alva NicholsEastern Stars Entertain Tonight, We rise by the things that are under feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. , I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed Is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view. Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowiy earth to the vaulted skies,

WITH THE CANDIDATES

- SHI HE' -w L — J. FRED FRANCE, for Clerk Supreme Court. J. Fred France has lived at Huntington for eighteen years, practicing law and making friends. The people of his city have made him mayor—a job at which Mr. France made good. Republicans as well as democrats have rallied to the support cf his candicay in his own county. This is also true in Adams county, where he once Uvq|— and is not forgotten.

And we must mount to its summit round by round. —J. G. Holland. SLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Friday. Thimble Club—Mrs. L. E. Steele. Christian Ald-Mrs. A. D. Artman. Presbyterian Missionary—Mrs. J. C. Patterson. Mrs. Cliff Troutner of Nuttman street, who will leave Monday for her future home near Pleasant Mills, was given a farewell surprise party Thursday evening by her neighbors and friends. Mrs. Troutner was busily engaged in packing her suit case preparatory to going to Fort Wayne this morning for a visit with her mother, when the party rushed in upon her. She was taken completely by surprise, but recovered to enjoy the taffy pulling and other pleasant features of the surprise. The party included Mesdames Frank, Charles and Wesley Peterson, John Phipps, Elmer Archer and children, Helen and Florien; Will Richards. Frank Winans and daughter, Nellie; Clark Edington, John Lose, Dan Deitsch. Many regrets were expressed that the neighborhood would soon lose the Troutner family.

There was music by Miss Vera Segur and others, and a tree contest with a number of other delightful diversions, making the evening an unusually pleasant one. The club will meet in two weeks with Miss Pearly Purdy. All the spirit, beauty and romance suggested by the approaching Hallowe’en were called into effect Thursday evening at the sock social given by the Dorcas Daughters of the German Reformed church at the home of Mrs. Fred Heuer on West Monroe street. The decorations prevailed in the colors of yellow and black, and crepe paper streamers in these colors wound in and out of the pilasters on the open stairway, twined about chandeliers and draped effectively in archways, together with a myriad of grinning jack-o'lanterns, provided the true festive air. The light from the chandeliers streamed forth through grinning jack-o'lantern hoods, and maple leaves in their varied colors, were tastefully used in combination. Here and there "fodder in the shock” suggested the autumnal holiday, and everything was in gala attire. Miss Dei(Continue *en page 4.)
