Fred France is the Democratic candidate—we all have a kindly interest in him. He is a good neighbor, competent for the position, and his

office will make a good loaflug place when we visit the state capital. A few years ago we asked our Democratic citizens to vote for Leophold Levy on the score of his citizenship, and we do not hesitate to say that now is the time to return the compliment. It isn't politics, but what’s the use of helping to defeat Fred by denying him a complimentary vote. We may have a home Republican candidate some day ourselves, and reciprocity will be a good slogan when Democratic neighbors are asked to scratch their ticket for him.—Huntington Times. (Rep.) The appointment of Hon. Charles A. Greathouse to succeed Dr. Robert J. Aley as candidate for state superintendent of public Instruction, has met with quite general approval. Mr.Greathouse is ulgmy educated and has ! had extensive experience as teacher, . principal and county superintendent. He also has the valuable training which comes from being engaged in i business enterprises. His reputation for honesty and square dealing is such as to make it certain that, if he is elected, the affairs or the office will be conducted on a high plane. School men of the state are pleased to learn that Mr. Greathouse has announced that when he is elected he will retain Elmer G. Bunnell and J. I. Hoffman as his assistants in the office. These men have proven their ability under Robert 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. Greathouse intends to conduct the office along the lines laid down by Mr. Aley, I Bunnell and Hoffman will be well fitI ted to assist him. No branch of the ’ activities of the state official family is more fundamentally important than that which has charge of the schools, 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 assistance 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 duties as the head of the University of Maine. With the election but five days away, the prospects for a victory for the. democrats and the people never appeared so bright, everywhere. In New York there is a terriffic battle, the wise ones predicting that John A. Dix will be elected governor by 100,000. In Ohio the odds favor the reelection of Governor Harmon for governor, a democratic state ticket and a legislature that will send a senator to the United States senate. As is known by most of our readers, the situation in Indiana is most favorable to the democrats, and it is the believe of all who are in a position to know that we will sweep the state. Similar reports come from Massachusetts, Connecticut and other eastern states, from California in the west, and many of the states between.

There remains but one thing to do. Get out the vote. Let's don’t lose a minute now. Go to the polls and vote, then get some one else to do it. If each of us would make it our business to influence one vote between this and election day, to vote the democratic ticket from top to botom, it would be a great and glorious victory. Do not forget the constitutional amendment providing for an educated bar. Indiana is singular in 'equiring no qualifications for admission to the bar. An amendment to the constitution to correct this anomaly has more than once been submitted to the voters of the state. It has always received a vast preponderence of the votes cast by those who took the pains to vote on the subject; but it has failed to win a majority of the total number of votes cast for the head of the ticket; and that, according to the during of the supreme court, is no -ary for the adoption of a c< •,.ionul amendment. Doubtless there is hardly an intelligent man in the state that has given the subject any thought that is not in favor of the amendment. But so many voters fail or forget to vote for the amendment when election day comes. It is to be hoped this year that this neglect will be corrected. Don't wabble. Don’t sidetrack. The issues this year are far too important to take any chance with your vote. From the Pacific to the Atlantic coast comes the word that the people are going to give the democrats the trial at conducting the government, for which they have been clamoring for twenty years. We need such men as John A. M. Adair and John W. Kern. Old Adams county wants to cast her vote for Kern and there is just one way to do it. Vote for Jacob Butcher for representative. He will cast his vote for Mr. Kern. Jerry Kelleher, the contractor, will deliver one of his eloquent addresses at the democratic headquarters this evening. He makes a special argument to the laboring man and every voter in the city is invited to come and hear him. Voters —Remember that to vote for John W. Kern, you must vote for Jacob Butcher for representative. The United States senator is chosen by the representatives and state senators on joint ballot. Vote for Butcher if you want Kern elected. YOU VOTE FOR KERN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR BY VOTING FOR JACOB BUTCHER. KERN'S NAME DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE TICKET. Hear Jerry Kelleher's address to the laboring men at the democratic headquarters this evening. He knows whereof he speaks. A VOTE FOR BUTCHER IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN VOTE FOR KERN. p

That Satisfied That the well-dressed man feels ffT WBRja.- is always present with the man who buys his clothes here. For there is a snappiness of style, an inviduality about the suits we sell, that the minute you put one on you feel like a different man, if not a better one. ~ VANCE, HITE & MACKLIN Comer East of Court House.
