Failure is no disgrace. The reel disgrace is in failure to try. Every democrat in Indiana is invited to take a seat at the banquet at Indianapolis on the thirteenth of April The big felloes will be there See County Chairman Dan Erwin or send him your two-fifty. How about a general merchants sale day? Don t you believe it would be a good thing for a half-donee or more merchants to agree on a certain day and offer indu ements to bring • the people in? If they come they will buy somewhere. If they go somewhere else, you haven't a chance to sell them. Think it over, Mr Merchant, and in the meantime advertise in the Daily Democrat. The only way to get rid of trouble is to forget it. You have no idea how hard you can hit till you come up in the ninth with the bases full and the pop bottle brigade yelling—Tt's up to you.
