Mount of Crawfordsville, republican candidate for attorney-general does not wish that he had left Governor Marshall alone? Mr. Mount is, as far dB wa know, the only republican who has thus far had the temerity to attack what he was pleased to call Governor Marshall’s administration. Indeed, we have thought we observed a rather marked disposition to deal with the governor in a somewhat gingerly manner. But Mr. Mount, not reflecting that Governor Marshall really had no “administration," as every office in. the statehouse but one is filled by republicans, saw fit to denounce the extravagance of the Marshall administration. Mr. Mount got his answer Thursday, and it is straight from the shoulder. In his speech at Richmond the governor showed that on every board that has anything to do with spending the state money he is in a minority of one. And he rightly insists that he cannot be held "responsible for the decisions of these boards, which are overwhelmingly republican.’’ The governor cannot spend one dollar of money, except out of the SI,OOO appropriated for office expenses “without consulting the boards where the majority is of the opposite political party.” Mr. Mount ought to have thought of that. ! Governor Marshall said that when Governor Manly assumed office there was a 9-cent levy for general purposes, and a 3-cent levy for sinking fund. He turned $60,000 of sinking fund money into the general fund, and had a law passed suspending the 3cent sinking fund levy for three years. But he did not, says Governor Marshall, do away with the 3-cent sinking fund levy, but had it added to the general levy, which was made 12 cents. We quote from Governor Marshall’s speech: Hanly and his republican legislatures then embarked on ar era of un aparalleled extravagance in state affairs, from which the state has not yet recovered, an dto which the general assembly of 1911, six years later, will be compelled, however much they may wish to practice economy, to pay tribute to the extent of at least SIOO,000 to complete a building which Governor Durbin more than six years ago said ought to be built for that money in addition to what might be derived from the sale of lands and buildings which the new one was designed to replace.—lndianapolis News. IT IS VOTES THAT COUNT An Indianapolis republican business man who travels over the state is thus quoted in a leading newspaper: “I have talked with county officers in every district, and I cannot see where the republicans have a ghost of a show. Everywhere I have gone I have found the republican organizers discouraged, and the reports I have from the county officers indicate not only indifference on the part of the

republican 'standpatters' but soreness ! because of the old factioual troubles, which, it seems to me, would make it Impossible for the republicans to carry the state.” But there are many reasons above and beyond the ones stated why the democrats should be successful. They stand for the things that are right in this campaign—the things that the people know are for their best interests. No democrat, however, should take anything for granted. Elections do not carry themselves. It Is the right kind of votes in the ballot box that count. Such votes are ready at hand and all that is necessary is to get them to the polls. Democratic meetings are being held in various places over the county now and each is well attended and the interest was never more manifest. The green spot will remain green. A traveling man who recently made a tour of the Tenth district, now represented by Congressman Crumpacker, was in the city Wednesday evening and wanted to bet the democrats would carry tne district by 2,000. Betting is no sign of how elections are going, but the boys who make such a practice of betting on such matters are usually pretty wise.—Columbia City Post. Woodrow Wilson, democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, continues to deliver delightfully instructive and inspiring speeches to large audiences. By talking solid sense and scrupulously avoiding anything smacking of mere demagogy, ' his campaigning has become an intellectual treat to thousands of citizens who have opportunity to hear him — South Bend Times. Senator Beveridge voted for the ship subsidy graft. He opposed the income tax. He stands for a form of “protection" which legalizes the robbery of the people for the benefit of the trusts. And. of course, he favors Roosevelt’s “new nationalism," which is nothing less than old despotism. Yet he asks the people of Indiana to return him to the United States senate. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, who has always been a favorite with Decatur people will address the voters of this locality at the court house in this city next Friday evening. Mr. Ralston was a former candidate for the governorship. He is one of the best lawyers of the state, a student of politics, a clean, honest man, whose words will be listened to and appreciated. “Two hundred for Fort Wayne,” is the slogan of the democrats here who are preparing to take a bunch to the Marshall rally to be held there next Saturday evening and which will close ; the campaign in this part of the state. It will be a big crowd, a good natured crowd, and you will enjoy taking part in the event. Join the crowd and if it swells to three hundred you will be taken care of. John W. Kern is still pounding 'along the lines of argument which are each day winning votes for the representatives who will vote for his selection as United States senator and nothing that could occur would better suit the great majority of voters in Indiana. Let’s give Jacob Butcher a vote that will make Mr. Kern glad of his support in Adams county, A vote for Charles Greathouse for superintendent of public instruction means a vote to retain the present high standard of work being done from that office and every teacher and every other citizen of this community interested in the welfare of the schools should so cast their ballot on November Bth. Mr. Greathouse has publicly announced that he will retain the present corps of assistants in the office and they are most capable. Hon. L, ErtSlack will address meetings at Geneva this afternoon and at Berne this evening. Mr. Slack ’s one of the able young men of the state. His record as state senator was one that any man might well feel

proud of and he has many admirers in this county, who hope to have the pleasure of supporting him for one of the high offices he so richly deserves at the hands of the voters of Indiana. He is an orator and those who hear him today will be more than pleased and will do well to follow his advice. UJ XUSSBg-SaSB Senator Beveridge is asking the people of Indiana to return ‘him to the senate as a republican. The reason he gives is that the republican party has betrayed the people into the hands of the "powers of pillage,” He promises that if he is returned, he will reform the republican party by compelling the party to adopt as a part of its creed a few principles for which the democratic party has stood for years, and against which for twelve years Senator Beveridge has persistently fought. This is the whole situation in a nut shell. —Columbia City Post. SOCIETY DOINGS High School Girls Enjoy Spread Last Evening With Teachers. HALLOWE’EN PARTY To be Given by Telephone Girls —Mrs. P. W.
