Entered at the postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. A change of sixty degrees in the ' temperature arrived on schedule time 1 Sunday morning. This morning the plumbers had the first rush of the season. One man died from heat prostration , in Chicago Saturday and two froze to death Sunday, according to newspaper dispatches. That’s going some, even for the windy city. The Larrowe Construction company of Detroit will build the big sugar plant here, finest in the world, and first in Indiana. It will da more to advertise this thriving and growing little city than all the things we ever strived for. An early convention in Indiana is being boosted by many of the democratic papers of Indiana. If there ever was a time in the history of the party in this state when we should take the lead it is now. Let’s step out and do it. From present indications the nominations will be made the first week in March. And this from Leslie’s Weekly, re nouned republican publication: “Although thus far the democrats have avoided some of the blunders which the republicans predicted for them, their power is still new. The distrust which business men, democrats as well as republicans, have not been entirely allayed. The result in ! 1910 was not so much a democratic triumph as it was a republican revolt.! Speaker Clark and other prominent I democrats have conceded this. Tariff revision has always, in the elections immediately afterward, hit the party which did the revising. The democrats are engaged in a work of this sort now. In doing this work it is i possible that they may arouse feuds in their own ranks, which 'would be as ; disastrous to them as were engendered among the republicans in the similar task two years ago. “In a great degree the result of the campaign of 1912 will be determined by the record which the democrats make between now and then and by the character of the candidate whom they select.

cumstances can the republican major--1 ity in 1912 be as large as it was in 1904 or 1908, while a majority of any sort for the republicans is- very far 4 ’ from being certain. " A PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Many of my friends have recently made inquiry regarding my entering , the race for the judgeship at the coming democratic pramary election, and ' it would indeed be ungrateful on my part if I did not appreciate their ini' terest and efforts in my behalf. I The people of Adams county, with out regard to political affiliation have ' been very kind to me in the past, arffl . they have assisted me very materially ' in my chosen profession. Should my life be spared and there | being no preventing providence I may i in the future ask the people of Adams county for the position of judge of tho Adams circuit court, should i they deem me worthy of it. In the i meantime my only effort will be to so condut mvself as to merff their sup--1 proval. Very sincerely, CLARK J. LUTZ. November 13, 1911. ASKS AN ALLOWANCE. — Mary E.
