R. hall j here Wednesday iiuivtiing Regardless! of politics every veteran should hear ; him. He is your friend and has proven it during the past six years, while I he has served you in the halls of con- ! gress. E. G. Davidson, one of the reliable men of the Inaianapolis News, in an | interesting article published in various I newspapers Sunday, gives a true statement as to the work of the democratic administration. It shows up th© Indianapolis Star s distorted statements of the past few weeks and should be read by every voter of the state. During the week we expect to publish I the story in full. In opening the ar-1 tide he truthfully says: “Democratic state office holders have been amazed a number of times recently at the wanton recklessness of the so-called republican state or-| gan in its dealings with state finances, and have wondered at the source of I the information on which the gress' misrepresentations have been based. The articles in the newspaper have appeared under the name of a special political writer employed thereon, but : the state officials in charge of the records at the state house which contain the only authentic data concerning the | finances are ready to take oath that j the writer has not gone over the state ( books, which are matters of public record, and has not consulted any of the i state finance officials concerning state figures. The assertions made by the writer in his articles and the facts as contained in the books for the fiscal year just close differ so widely as to ■ he the lie direct to virtually all the assertions made in the articles in question.” t FOR REPRESENTATIVE. We arc authorized to announce the name of Charles L. Bevington of Blue Creek township, as a candidate for the nomination as representative, subject to the decision of the Democratic Primary election, to be held Tuesday, December 12, 1911.
