Os course we have noticed the difference but never so pronounced as this Adams county farmer put it up to us. He goes further, and asks for an explanation for the fact that though this is true, that all woolen clothing has advanced. He gave an instance. Last spring his son sold five pounds of wool for $1.15. A day or two ago he bought a suit of clothes, for Sunday wear, paying for it, twenty-five dollars. He weighed it. and wool, cotton and buttons weighed less than five pounds. What became of that $23.85" The local dealer didn’t make as much on it as he did when you could by that same suit for twelve dollars. Where 1 did it go? This farmer has figured it out and is right. It went to the great woolen trust, protected by the United States. The same thing is true on hides. You sell a hide for about eight or ten cents a pound and buy it back 1 in leather for fifty cents a pound or 1 more. Where? To the leather trust. if it goes into shoes the paltry fifty I cents you got for your hide, swells to four or five dollars. It’s true in every other line and it don’t take a very intelligent voter long to figure out that we are up agr.inst it and it’s time to

cut down. There is only one way to

do It. You trusted the republican party and Senator Beveridge says they betrayed you. Try voting the democratic ticket. THE LABORER’S VOTE There has been more or less speculation as to what the laborer will do when he easts his vote next Tuesday. However, the most of that speculation is In the republican partisan newspapers. The student of politics knows. They are going to vote the democratic ticket from top to bottom. The elections in Maine, Vermont, New York and other places have proven it. And it it any wonder? Get out your pencil. A fair average of the amount of money a laborer gets would be ten dollars per week and statistics show that the average laboring man does not make that the year round. But for argument say he does, that he pays five dollars a, month for a hovel of a house, and five dollars for heat, water and light, which he must have. Then' figure up what he has left to feed, clothe, educate, doctor and care for an average family of fourchildren. himself and wife. It will surprise you, and still hundreds of thousands of men who earn a living—or rather an existence —by the sweat of their brow, are doing that very thing. Does any one doubt how that man is going to vote next Tuesday? It must be clear to the people of Indiana by now that Albert J. Beveridge has no real convictions upon any political question except his intense desire to go back to the senate. Apparently mere is not a thing for which he has professed to stand in the past that he is not willing to sacrifice and has not sacrificed in his own personal interest —in other words, to trade for votes. Day by day during the progress of the campaign he has cast off one garment after another until he stands stripped and naked before the people of Indiana save as he is enwrapped by the film of his own supreme selfishness. As to matters of political principle, he has, for the purposes of the campaign. discarded everything that he thinks may lose him a vote —everything that is unpopular—and has eagerly reached out after those things which he believes present public sentiment will support. Humbug, buncombe, deception, false pretense and common poppycock have characterized the Beveridge campaign and his state committee propaganda from the beginning. No candidate for the office of superintendent of public instruction is better qualified for the place, from the educational view’-point, than Chas. A. Greathouse. He has had a wide experience in school management and has been very successful. He is very pleasant to meet and will make an excellent He has the name of being very helpful, among those who have worked with him, and who know him best. By continuing the policies started Dr. Aley and by keening the same assistants. Insure an excellent administration of the public schools of Indiana. He has also developed considerable business ability, which will be of great value to him. He has been identified with all grades of .school work, from teaching in the district school to superintendent of schools. He received his training at Indiana University, and was immediately elected superintendent of his home county, which place he held for ten years.

According to the betting boards, the election is about over. For the first time in twenty years the odds favor the democrats. At Indianapolis the odds are five to four on Kern and five to three on the state ticket, and with but a few takers at that. While this is not always a sure thing, the sign is a most favorable one. It shows that the men who study scientifically the situation have come to the conclusion that the democrats have the best of It. There has so far been pracically no betting in Decatur. And now Crumpacker, republican congressman from the Tenth district, who two years ago, when so many of his colleagues went down to miserable

defeat, was elected by a majority of nearly ten thousand, faces defeat. Billy Blodget, in a special article to the Indianapolis News, says that it looks rather squally for the man ‘ whom the republican candidates for 'congress in Indiana are boosting for Cannon’s place. Crumpacker is a ! rank standpatter and his defeat has I ’ * been predicted for several weeks. The result of the election is now said to rest with the foreigners employed in the big steel plant at Gary. Rollin Warner, republican nominee for congress in this district, made a short speech at the court house Wednesday evening. He expressed some rather peculiar and rather Indefinite views on the tariff question and to make a long story short didn’t “stack up” very good against Johnny Adair. During the day he covered the county in an automobile, baking short talks at various stops. The meeting was also addressed by Judge Jackson of Newcastle and Judge Marsh of Winchester. The man who casts his ballot next Tuesday without remembering that the United States government is the only government on earth that permits a combination of men to control and fix the prices of the food supply of the country is unmindful of his duty. The man who does not vote to rebuke the party and the policies responsible for this condition will be estopped from complaining of subsequent extortions. J. A. M. Adair, the friend of the laboring man the soldier, the business man and the farmer, will appreciate your vote next Tuesday, and will repay you by spending his time in congress, working for your interests. If you vote against him. you are voting against ’ yourself. Remember that when you go to the polls. The common people of Indiana never had and never will have a better friend than John W. Kern. He has always been for you and will die fighting for the man who works, the great middle class of people, the men who

really do things. Adams county is made up of that class of people and they are for Mr. Kern. There is only one way to vote for him and that is by voting for Jacob Butcher for representative. • The Ralston meeting tomorrow night will be a hummer. It closes the'campaign in this county, so far as state speakers are concerned. Go to the court house and hear him. He will awaken you to your own interests and that’s the only thing needed to make this election unanimous. Don’t lose track of the fact that we are all going to Fort Wayne Saturday evening to attend the Marshall meeting. While no definite arrangements have been made, it is likely that two or three hundred will be i nthe party. Join them. Charles Getting of St. Johns' was a business visitor here today. Mrs. Wm. Ross returned to her home at Willshire this noon after a pleasant vlsis here with tier nephew Mr. .Tames Ross.
