"The Hoosier club of Oklahoma, a fighting organization of former Indiana people, has declared for Tom Marshall, democratic governor of Indiana, as the one best bet in the race tor tne presidency and declares for him as the democratic choice at the next national convention.’’—Press Dispatch. The above telegraphic news item from the capital city of Oklahoma I bears out Governor Marshall’s state-1 ment in his speech responding to the I resolution of the democratic state I committee proposing him for president. That statement was that “If j the people of Indiana want Tom Mar-1 shall for president, then Tom Mar-, shall will be president.” As not only ; the resident people of Indiana, but Hoosiers everywhere—and natives of | other states besides —are declaring for Marshall, he seems to be headed straight for the white house. Boyd Daughtery, an Adams county ' man, will serve on the federal grand jury, which began its work at Indian- j apoiis this morning. The investigation of the McNamara dynamiting as- : fair will make it the most interesting and one of the most important held in jßears and the experience will be a very valuable one for Mr. Daugherty. The district convention to be held in this city on the 29th promises to be a very interesting event, marking the opening of the 1912 campaign. Wells county will present the name of Mr. Kunkle and there may be others. Anyway it will be a rousing meeting, good for the Adams county democracy ; to attend. Come in. If the present sloppy weather continues, the vote at the democratic primary tomorrow will likely be a little slim and just what result this would cause, is making the boys who have bets up, study a little. i-’OR SALE.
