FIRST TRIP THIS WAY. Traveling Salesman in Traction Wreck Here Yesterday. E. A. Ford, a traveling salesman out of Indianapolis, representing the A. Keifer Drug Co., with Decatur included in his list of stops, was in the city Monday for the first time since last September. It was during that month when he was leaving Indianapolis over the Indiana Union Traction line when the car upon which he was riding was struck by a Big Four train and wrecked, killing one man and injuring five. Mr. Ford was one of those injured, received serious injuries about the spine, laying him up for twenty weeks. He is still required to keep his body in a leather cast and will have to do sb for about five years. He is able to be about again with the use of a cane, but it will be some time before he can get around with ease, and will be crippled all his life to a certain extent.

ITS ALL OVER NOW CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE lai and vital importance to party and to country I find myself at variance with my party, In nation and state, 1 shall not hesitate to surrender the commission which you, in accordance with the patty’s mandate, have this day generously given me. "At present the democratic party is united, as it has not been before in the recent past* and I have no fear that in the party councils there will not be found perfect unanimity of sentiment In favor of such legislation aa will promote the interests of the t «?■»- pie—-legislation fully In accord with the Jeffersonian Idea of equal justice to all and special privileges to none. “But no good will be served by a discussion of political issues on this occasion. My heart is too full for that. The courtesies accorded me by my brethren of opposition forbid it. I only want to impress upon you that it will give mo great pleasure to serve them in Washington in every pcsible way, except in the promotion of any political heresies to which they may cling. “It is fortunate that the nomination for this office by the state convention of my party was by a unanimous vote, and that the same unanimity prevailed here, in the vote by which you have confirmed the action of that convention and tne vote of the people. “I am thereby enabled to enter the senate free from all obligations, save those which I owe to the great body o fthe people of my native state, and to the country at large. “I shall enter upon the discharge of the duties of this great office deeply impressed with a sense of the responsibility which attach to it. Great problems of government will have to be solved within the next six years. In aiding in the work of their solution 1 pledge my conscientious endeavor. “In this service to which the people and you, their representatives, have called me, I pray that the pathway of duty may be made plain to me, and that God will give me strength and courage to follow that pathway with unhesitating and unfaltering footsteps, to the end that I may have not only the approval of my own conscience in all things, but may find favor in His sight and a faithful and patriotic servant of the people, who have so highly honored me.” Democrat Want Ads Pa’’
