Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail. The race for the places on the democratic ticket is drawing to a cluse. The ballots were printed today. Now for the finish. The returns will be received at this office. Adams county democrats are invited to participate in the district convention which will be held here December 29th. You don’t have to be a delegate to enjoy this meeting. Get ready to come. A number of prominent democrats of the district and state will be in attendance. At its recent meeting, the democratic state committee enthusiastically endorsed Governor Marshall for the presidential nomination. And every democrat in the state —and many oth-' ers —just as enthusiastically second the motion. Governor Marshall is precisely the kind of man that the people want in the white house.

(then it must offer the people a sane 1 and sensible policy.” In considering the results of the I session of congress which opened on the oth of this month it should be I borne in mind that while the demo- " crats have a decisive majority in the house the republicans have a clear s j working majority in the senate. Be- )' sides there is a republican president • I with the veto power in his hands. I I ’ I This veto power was used by Presi- ; • . 1 dent Taft at the late special session 1 ( to defeat every important measure . passed by the democratic house and ’ by the democrats of the senate aided by the votes of the progressive republican senators. To insure the enactment of the right sort of legislation, there should be, in addition to the democratic house, a democratic senate and a democratic president. TOOK ANOTHER CHANGE.
