The bank statements published this week in this paper show a splendid condition of affairs in Old Adams county having increased in deposits in this section during the past year nearly a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The census report for this county just completed shows a slight decrease over ten years ago. The falling off is probably due to the fact that several hundred oil men and their families have left here during the past two years. Over in Ohio the republicans are just figuring out that everywhere that Teddy spoke, there is shown a wonderful democratic gain. Teddy says he has nothing to take back, so we may look for a similar result in two years from now. And now it is said that Crumpacker, the only congressman from this state left to look after the interests of the g. o. p. will have the entire distribution of patronage in Indiana. If it is as disastrous a gift as it was for Senator Beveridge, he might well shudder for his future aspirations, On the strength of this trading capital it is now announced that Mr. Crumpacker is fixing his ropes for the gubernatorial nomination in 1912. Beware young man! Beware!
