It must be apparent by this time to the politicians of Indiana, especially the democratic politicians, that Governor Marshall is a safe man to follow. He was unknown in political circles in 1908 when he went into the campaign and fought his way to victory. The politicians were not willing to concede even after that victory that he was a real leader and at the state convention they attempted to over-ride a suggestion he made on the matter of choosing a senator. They had it all framed up to defeat the governor, but the delegates refused to be delivered and in a close struggle in which the voice of many of them was silenced the governor won, and the convention nominated a candidate for senator. The older leaders of the party in the state pronounced the action of the convention a mistake, but Marshall heeded them not. In the campaign he made a hard fight and stood squarely on the democratic platform. It is but the truth to say that he was the big; drawing card on the democratic side throughout the campaign and his I speeches were telling and effective, J The party emerged from the battle , with one of the most sweeping vic-, tories it has ever achieved, being | complete in every respect and beyond I all expectations.

seeks to be a boss or a dictator of his party, but he Is one who believes there is wisdom In leaders of a jrarty meeting together and counseling together. After years of unbroken republican victories in the state Tom Marshall has redeemed the state, captured the legislature and all but sent a solid delegation to congress. This is Indeed a great achievement for a man to accomplish in two short years. —Columbia City Post. PUBLIC SALE.

Upon arriving there she found all things ready for a jolly good time in her honor, and games and contests were in order and refreshments were served.

Y., to! 1 spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. | H. J. Brown. The evening was spent in playing very amusing games.

BIG. FOUR WRECK Occurred Near Muncie at an Early Hour This Morning—Was Lucky One. NO ONE WAS KILLED Cars Went Into Ditch and One Rolled Over--Sev-eral Slightly Hurt. (United Press Service?) Muncie, Ind., Nov. 12 —(Special to Daily Democrat) — Fast Passenger train No. 43, on the Big Four, westbound, was partly wrecked at a point three miles west of here near midnight, when the next to the last coach of the fast line, hit a broken rail. Several persons were injured, but none seriously. The fact that no one was killed or even badly hurt is regarded as almost miraculous and at least most remarkable. When the two last coaches left the rails, the rear one, containing thirteen persons, rolled over into the ditch, while the ear just in front of it was thrown crosswise of the tracks. A panic ensued among the passengers. All were finally extricated and found to be unhurt except for scratches and bruises. i FOR RENT —A seven room house on i North Third street. Has gas and water inside; also has cellar. Inquire of Jacob C. Atz. 255t6 FOR RENT —Five room house on Gloss street. For particulars see Mrs. R. B.
