Marshall of Indiana for' I the democratic presidential nomina-, tion in 1912, is formally launched in 1 the May number of the National Monthly, of which Chairman Norman E. Mack of the democratic national committee is the editor. Coming through this important channel, the friends of Governor Marshall are , greatly elated over the prominence , which he will gain in being the first of the candidates to be taken up by | Chairman Mack in his widely read democratic magazine, now generally looked upon, from one end of the , country to the other, as the official organ of the democratic national committee. Those who delight in •figurin' ” the ( dope, were busy today with their pen-, cils on the Root township election I and its comparison with the probable 1 result on a county election. Os course ' it means nothing because there was . really no fight made and the vote was too light to estimate what a red hot campaign would mean. John W. Kern, junior United States senator, is at home for a few days, ' and laughs at the presidential boom t he has been receiving the past week, j He is still for Tom Marshall and will do all he can to land the nomination for that worthy gentleman.

Selvey representative I for Adams and Jay, and Elisha Pierce 1 ( for Adams, Jay and Blackford, and 1 these same gentlemen ware also in * ' the session of 1889. In 1891 Henry ' B. Smith was the senator, R. K. Er- [ win represented Adams and Jay, and ■ John Branstetter Adams, Jay and ’; Blackford. In 1895 J. J. M. LaFollette j was senator, J. T. Kelley and J. P. McGeath represented the counties of Adams, Jay and Blackford, as the did ' also in the session of 1897. In 1899 William Ryan was senator and the ' district changed to Allen and Adams as it now is, and Henry Krick was the representative, this district being changed to Adams alone. In 1901 S. B. Fleming was the senator anJ Henry Dirkson representative, and they were also in the session of 1903. In 1905 John W. Tyndall was in the senate and Dr. J. W. Vizard in the house, they also being the members in the legislature of 1907. In 1909 S. B. Fleming came back, and Thur--1 man Gottschalk was representative, and in 1911, and the last one, it was Senator Fleming and Jacob Butcher, I and we are sorry to learn of the lat--1 ter’s serious i'lness at his home in Geneva. If you will notice the changes as made in the senatorial and representative districts, you will be quick to note some fine points in politics back of the changes, and it will ' not be hard for you to determine 1 which of the two political parties were in control and command of the apportionment measure in the legislatures. Politics was played with a I high hand during much of the early 1 period of Indiana, and many times has the writer been morethan entertain.ed with the eloquence of the late I James R. Bobo in his description of * the conflicts of much of that earlier ' period. You hear much of the politi-1 ! cal experts of the ■present day, but ' they are ont in it with the generalship . 1 of some of the party leaders of forty, 1 years ago. There is not much in this article, only it will serve as a complete record of the men who represented Adams county in the Indiana | general assembly, and the years in which they served. Some of the real j old residents may be able to brush up their recollection and remember many of the men mentioned as well as some incidents of life that occurred during those thrilling days, long since passed.

READY FOR GAME. Many to Accompany Splendid Line-Up to Kokomo. With confidence of victory and a line-up the best to be had in the city, the local base ball fans are now ready to leave in the morning for Kokomo, and in the afternoon bump up against the fast Red Sox of that city, who so far have gained quite a reputation as ball players. Many weak spots which appeared in the initial practices have ( been remedied, and it would be hard ( to select a better bunch of players than those scheduled to play. They ■leave on the 8:24 train Sunday morning over the Clover Leaf and have been assured of a good bunch of boosters to help pull the score their way. The team will not be donned with ( their new uniforms for tomorrow’s game, as they will not arrive until ( some time next week, but will be. ready for the second game to be played in the near future. They have in the last few days received a number of letters asking for games, but owing to the fact that no grounds are in shape at present for playing, can only, take the best ones offered, and to be ( played away from home. If some Os the fan lovers of this popular sport would aid the boys a little toward this point they would fix up a suitable placb and show them how the game is played. The line-up for Sunday’s game will be as follows: Ault, catcher; Robinson, lb; Ellis, 2b; Coffee, 3b; McMillen, ss; W. J. Johns, cf; Fullenkamp, If; Colchin, rs. Charles Burk of Geneva, who is to be the twirler of the game, will meet them at Bluffton on their way to Kokomo, and pitch the afternoon game. Several subs will taken along to fill in should something turn up that all could not play, and they will be prepared to show their opponents the ball qualities which they possess. NOTICE.

Frank Westler, traveling representave for the Standard Weather Bureau service of Uhrichsville, Ohio, has been in the city several days soliciting advertisements for an electrical weather bureau which he wishes to place in some prominent part of the city, providing the necessary ads can be obtained. It is of a standard make, backed by good authorities, and guaranteed to be correct and the weather to be determined twentyfour hours previous. He has been quite successful so far, having disposed of a number of signs, but still needs several more, and which he wishes to close up in a short time. If one of these can be secured for this city the people here can judge for themselves in regard to the forecast, which is a credit to any town. It is enclosed in a firm case, and lighted by means of electricity, which adds very much to the attractiveness of the bureau. It is surrounded by ads of the various business men. o RACE SUICIDE? Sixty-six Less Children of School Age in Decatur This Year. THAN LAST YEAR According to Enumerators’ Report—l2oß Children’s Names. According to the reports of the enumerators of the children of school age in the city of Decatur, there are slxty-six less children of school age—that is between the ages of six' and twenty-one years—than there we-c last year. The total number this year is 1208, while that of last vear ran up to 1274. Os course ther * are several reasons for this, besides race suicide, as many have moved away, jpany under age have married, and are no longer included in the ’‘school age” list, and others have reached their majority. The only ward showing a gain was that of the Thirl ward. The enumeration was taken this year by Frank Mills in the First and Third wards, and Albert Sellemeyer in the Second ward, these two officials doing their duty well. The enumeration of this year and list, according to wards is as follows: First Ward. 1911 1910 Boys 200 239 Girls 194 230 Total 394 469 Second Ward.
