VOTE FOR JACOB BUTCHER AND YOU VOTE FOR KERN. YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR KERN BY VOTING FOR BUTCHER. News from Ohio continues bright and it is the general belief that Judson Harmon will be re-elected by a majority of 100,000. The news from Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, New York, Illinois, California and other states continues very promising. Indiana will do as well as these states. Schoon Men: Remember, when you vote next Tuesday, that a vote for Mr. Greathouse for superintendent of public instruction, means a vote to continue the present high standard of that office. John Adair’s vote will equal that of his previous campaigns. Anything else would be the questioning of his splendid record. He has served his people well and he deserves to win by a larger majority than ever. There is no issue in this campaign so big as the tariff question and the high cost of living. The remedy is to elect democrats and the one whom we all want elected so badly and the one we need, is John W. Kern. To vote for him, vote for Jacob Butcher. The Marshall meeting at Fort Wayne this evening will be the largest held in the state this year. Several hundred from here will attend. If you want to see the enthusiasm of the campaign, all bunched together, and all let out at once, join the crowd. A special representative of the Indianapolis News, writing from New York City, says that state may give Dix, the democratic nominee for governor, a majority of 300,000. The Chicago Tribune says that a conservative estimate of his majority would be 85,000. Either is enough. Jacob Butcher for representative means a vote for John W. Kern and a vote away from the conditions that have almost smothered us during the past year or two. If you don’t give him your vote you are balloting against your own interests, those of your neighbor and those of your children.

Adams county should vote next Tuesday, if for no other reason, than than we practically have two sons on the-state ticket. Lew G. Ellingham, 1 for secretary of state, is well known here where he has resided for many , years. J. Fred France, candidate for reporter of the supreme court, was bom and reared in this city and is known by hundreds. It’s an opportunity to put in the state house, men whom you really know. Mr. Laboring Man: Do you still believe that you ought to pay a tax of $195.00 to the government of the United States each year to keep up the extravagant methods used now. The fact that the tax is hidden behind the tariff and you pay it in buying clothing, food and other necessities, does not alter the fact that that is the average amount you pay. If you are opposed to this method of taxation vote the democratic ticket. k Charles A. Greathouse is proving a strong candidate among all classes of people who are especially interested in educational matters. He favors the uniform text book law, now in operation in Indiana, and which has greatly reduced the cost of text books. He favors the plan to have agriculture become part of the course of study. He indorses very strongly the policy of Superintendent Aley and will con-

tlnue to work along the same line. This, with tbe help of the present assistants, insures that that high standard of the office at tbe present time will be maintained and that the office Jof superintendent of public Instruc- ’ I tion in Indiana will continue to be j among the best conducted offices in the whole country. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston of Leba- ► non, discussed for two hours at the * court house Friday night the vital Issues of the present campaign. It was the closing address of the ca npaign by a state speaker, for this , ■ county, and was one of the most able ones ever delivered here. The tariff question is a mighty big one. It ret quires years of study and persistent research to understand it. This has t ' been given by Mr. Ralston and he ar- ■ gued Friday night in a manner that j made clear many points. His speech ; 1 strengthened those who heard it. His ,- | plea for votes for Ellingham. Adair r and the legislative ticket was eloquent -1 and convincing. Adams county has . always been for Mr. Ralston and probably always will be. He is the kind of 1 a man we all must admire, clean, fearr ■ less and able. He stands for the f right principles of government. ’ The lines are set. The big fellows, f Marshall, Kern, Ralston and the rest of them, are today completing their f farewell tour of the state for the cam--5 patgn of 1910. The issues have been 5 thoroughly discussed and defined. It s 5 up to you. You will go to the polls 1 Tuesday and vote. If you favor the present ridicuously high prices; the flow cost of labor; the further plac--1 ' ing of yourself in the hands of the 3 trusts and big combinations, you will 5 vote the republican ticket —but —if 1 you are in earnest about being for the J laboring man, the common people, the ’ great mass who earn their living — ’ you will vote the democratic ticket straight. The reasons have been set out so often you should know them by heart. You have been advised by the men whom you love and admire — Bryan and Marshall and others, to vote the democratic ticket this year. ’ Do it.

OBITUARY. Laura Esther Helm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Helms, was born near Decatur. Ind., August 11, 1893, and departed this life at the dawn of the new Sabbath. October 30. 1910. Her "life here upon earth was 17 years, 2 months and 19 days. In the home, Laura was always cheerful and genteel. From childhood she was modest, obedient and lovable. In all her dealings with her parents and sisters she showed a remarkable degree of forethought. She was tender and sympathetic and was careful to speak ill of no one. She was considered a jewel in the home for her life was a real sunbeam in the family. In public life, Laura was regarded as an exceptional girl. Her character was pure and clean. Because of her lovable disposition she won a large circle of friends. Anything rude or boisterous was repulsive to her. Her's was a beautiful

life; one to be admired by all who knew’ her. She gave thought to the noble and the good. Music and literature were her greatest delight. For several years she was organist in her own church. She would play the organ and sing for hours at a time. Because of her great love for music she will be greatly missed not only in the home but also in the church where she so regularly attended all the services, until her sickness. Laura's love for books and education was almost unsurpassed. For these she spent ail her strength and time. She had gone far in the sophomore year of her high school work when she was taken sick and compelled to give up her school work. She was a thorough student and in her power for grasping the truth scarcely’ had an equal, as one of her instructors said that Laura was one of the best pupils that ever came to him for instructions. Her religious principles were also deeply seated. About three years ago she was converted during the pastorate of Rev. A. B. Haist, and then united with the Salem Evangelical church, of which she remained a loyal member until her death. When in health Laura scarcely missed any of the services of her church. During her long sickness of nearly a year’s suffering, she held up with remarkable fortitude and Christian integrity. Seldom if ever did she complain and when asked about her intense pain she would offer no complaint whatever. She spoke many times with her mother, regarding spiritual things and assured her that if she could not get well she was prepared to gc anytime, for, daid she, “I am trust-

Ing in Jesus,” and then when the end finally came Laura went out of this present life with words of praise for her Lord upon her lips, and with the request that her father and loved ones meet her in heaven. One commendable deed of Laura’s which speaks In favor of her deeply-seated religious life is the following: All the little sums of money given her during her brief life were saved, placed in the bank, and just before departing from this life, requested that the entire amount, consisting of something like sl6, be given to our orphans' home at Flat Rock, Ohio. She also selected her funeral director, sermon text and minister who should officiate at her funeral services. Truly Laura could say from a sincere heart, ‘‘For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Those who shall hold dear and sacred the memory of one whose place cannot be filled are her sorrowing parents, five sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts, many other relatives and a host of friends.

A FUNNY LETTER For Senator Beveridge to Write Was That Sent to Nebraska by Him. BOOSTS MR. BURKETT A Rank Standpatter. Who is Seekink Office at Hands of Voters. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU, 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 5 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Friends of Senator Beveridge are surprised to learn that he has sent to Chairman Husenetter, of the republican state committee in Nebraska, a letter indorsing Senator Burkett of Nebraska for reelection. Senator Burkett is a notorious standpatter. It is believed that Senator Beveridge weakened his non-partisan appeal when he urged the re-election in Indiana of Representatives Crumpacker and Barnard. But his friends are aghast when he puts himself on record in a letter as indorsing a Nebraskan standpatter. They say he cannot hope for a single democratic vote under these conditions. Senator Beveridge’s letter follows: ‘‘lndianapolis, Ind., Oct. 23, TO. “My Dear Mr. Husenetter: “I have been out over the state campaigning and have just got your letter. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to come to Nebraska to make a few speeches, but I am booked day and night for the remainder of the campaign. So I cannot come, much as I would like to do so. “However, I feel that is it unnecessary. I am very sure the people of Nebraska will return Senator Burkett to the senate. Ths great progressive movement that is sweeping over this country needs every man of progressive tendencies. Generally speaking, the politicians now in control of the democratic party are not putting up such men. The whole tendency of the cabal of dominant politicians now in control of that party is reactionary. One has only to consider the dominant influences in that party from New York and Ohio to Texas and Georgia. “I am exceedingly sorry that the engagements already made will prevent my coming to Nebraska for I should like very much indeed to be of any assistance that I could in the re-election of Senator Burkett. He should be returned; and I have no doubt he will be returned. With kind regards, “Sincerely, “ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE.”

“NEIGHS”&HORSE SENSE. Don’t lose your temper when I do not understand; be patient, I am perfectly willing if I only know what you want. Don’t leave me hitched in my stall at night with a big cob right where I must lie down. lam tired and can't select a smooth place. Don't compel me to eat more salt than I want by mixing it with my oats. I know better than any other animal how much I need. Don’t whip me when I get frightened along the road, or I will expect it next time and may make trouble. Don’t trot me up hill, for I have to carry you and the truck and myself, too. Try it yourself some time. Run up hjll with a big load. Don’t say “whoa" unless you mean it. Teach me to stop at the word. It may check me if the lines break and save a runaway and smash-up. Don’t forget to file my teeth when they get Jagged and I cannot chew my food. When I get lean it may be a sign that my teeth need filing. Don’t think because I am a horse that weeds and briars won't hurt my hay. Don’t forget to treat me kindly; it pays and will be appreciated. o- — MEN —Learn automobile business.
