WILL KUNKLE IS CHAIRMAN 1 (Continued Fiom Page One.) congress of the United States. Every business and interest in his congressional district has received his best endeavors and strictest attention and every institution and every individual has had a faithful and able servant in him w’ithiu the halls of congress and his official acts have all been marked with an able effort to reduce the expenses of administration and to produce the strictest economy consistent ■vith good government. We endorse, without hesitation, all of the official acts of our democratic state officers of the present democratic administration for the faithful redemption of the pledges made to the people before the election and we also commend the administration for its economy in state affairs. Tile Eighth congressional district has been signally honored in the election of the Hon. Lewis G. Ellingham as secretary of state. We congratulate the people ot riie'statc of Indiana upon their selection of such an able and efficient public servant and we hereby endorse him for renomination by the next democratic state convention for the position he now holds. We endorse the efficient service rendered by the slate examiner of public accounts, Hon. W A. Dehority. We note with pleasure the mention of the Hou. Dale J. Crittenberger torchairman of the democratic state central eonimittee and hereby pledge our united support to him for that posi- j tion, and we instruct the member of I the state central committee this day 1 elected from the Eighth congressional . district to vote for him, and to use j his best efforts to secure his election, j 1 The democracy of this district owes the Hon. George Beebe an everlasting debt of gratitude for his services as its district chairman. His management has been able, his work for the party has been constant and very effective and in his hands the democratic banner has at all times been biave-j ly defended. The militant democrats of the Eighth congressional district therefore extend to him its many thanks tor his valient and faithful work in its behalf. We are pleased to learn that the name of the Honorable Jacob F. Denny of Portland, Ind., will be pre sented to the next democratic state convention as the candidate from this congressional district for the nomination for the office of lieutenant gov- j ernor. We pledge him our united support and will exert our greatest in-I fluence to procure for him the nomination for that office W. H. HARKINS CHAS. G. DAILEY. M. J. FINAN. CHAS. N. CHRISTEN E. S. EDGER. N. F. WILKIE. ABOUT SOME OF THE BOYS, j i The Anderson delegation was headed "by the Hon. George T. Beebe, who lias served the district for the last two; years as district chairman. During that time he served the party faithful- i ly and well, and is retiring at this time because of his candidacy for nomination > of treasurer of Madison county. He I has always been one of the many faithI fui political worekrs of Madison coun- . ly, and has many friends over the district who hope to see him succeed in bagging the nomination for treasurer of his county. “ r • No district meeting of any nature whatever would be complete without the presence of Hon. Dale J. Crittenberger, editor of the Bulletin, and one of Madison county's prominent democrats. His influence is always a potential factor in the politics of the dis-i trict and the state as well. He is al- j ways the good Samaritan, using his; influence in behalf of his friends, sei-1 dom asking tor recognition himself. He was secretary of the Inst Indiana state senate, where as a matter of fact he made an excellent record. His name has frequently been mentioned in connection with the state chairmanship, and it would be no surprise to see him thus honored when the state committee meets for organization on the fourth of next month. The Eighth district will likely take down to Indianapolis a good sized boom for h'm, and when they go after anything, there is something doing. He would make a good state chairman and we hope to see him selected for that important place. Hon. Bartlett H. Campbell, now practicing law at Elwood is one of the fighting democrats of the district. One time he was elected to the exalted place of district chairman at a convention held in Portland, but wc refuse to discuss the subject further. He may be one that you will not always agree with, but you will certainly have to admire the way he stands for the things he wants. His friends

in Madison county are talking of nominating him for the state senate, and right now we hope he wins the nomination and the election. There are many others in Madison county, among them County Clerk F Daniel Boland, Fred VanNuys, C. C. ■' Dehority, Editor Moffett. Willis Ellis, : and scores of others They are all I pleasant to meet and you will always » find them answering to the roll call II whenever there is a democratic cond vention or caucus. 1’ / ' • Mr. Alfred Davis of Muncie, is noth- '■ ing if not a chip off the old block. He t' is a perfect image of his father, who for many years was one of the big 1 j cards in district politics. Young Mr. 1 Davis holds an important place in the L I Muncie city government and is one of '■ i the coming young men there. e | ■I Shields Edger of Winchester, has • | been a democrat so long that it would be a shame to tell it. For genuine 1 enthusiasm, however, he beats any of ■ the younger generation a good mile, 1 ' and is always ready'to lend a helping ■ ■ hand when it is the democratic party 1 that needs the helping hand. Mr. ’ Edger expects to live to see Randolph ’) county elect democrats to county ofi fice. "•■■■ ' ■ Os course Congressman Adair head-1 ■! ed an enthusiastic delegation from Jay '! county, and it is no news to add that he was easily the most popular visitor at the convention. Congressman Adair j has made a great record in congress ( and it is not exceeding the speed limit ! to remark that he merits the record. , The Eighth district is for him for any- ! thing he wants and will send him to I I congress as long as we are permitted i ■ to elect congressmen by popular vote. I Editors Crittenberger of the Anderson Bulletin, E. A. McKee of the Portland Sun, A. D. Moffett of the Elwood Record, and Cecil Elliott of the Bluffton Banner, added dignity to the occa-1 sion. They are real live editors of j real newspapers, make lots of money and live bankers, even refusing to ! accept cord-wood on subscription. l They know something about the po ' litical game and are always on the job Hon Frank ileimbaugh is one of the ' live wires at Muncie and he came over i with a goodly supply of stories and had a good time with the boys Mr. ■ Heimbaugh is an old newspaper man and knows about every one in the ' I state. j The Hon. Abe Simmons of Wells ( county was of course on the ground I early and took an active part in ali fairs. He is one of the staunch leaders of the Eignth and his opinions are j listened to in the councils of state ; politics. In 1904 he was one of the I ( i Indiana delegates to the national convention held at St. Louis. It was j good to have him here. : i Frank Dailey, Lon Batson, Mr. ( Tappe, Cecil Elliott of the Banner, and I, ' others came over early and helped Mr. i Kunkle arrange things. The republi-1 j ' cans of Wells county were also well ] : represented in Tom Fiyn, who is such | a good, whole-souled fellow, that one , ' wonders how he ever got sidetracked ( 1 into being a republican. At that he j was strong for W. A. r, j SERMON ON PRAYER 1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE being lost. Then you get down on 1 your knees and ask God to help you j to never do that way again, and get | up and live it out.’’ At the close of the sermon, the father of the young preacher led in prayer and everybody came around and shook bauds and pledged themselves to the work of the meeting. It was ‘ i the conviction of the preachers who ■ . were present that a great revival of i religion is on. Just before the seriuon, the Fife ■ quartet, composed of the father and three sons, sang “That Beautiful I I Land,” and Mr. Earl H. Fife sang a 1 solo, "Dose Jeseß Care?” Tonight the soloists and quartet and orchestra will ■ give special music and the house is! 1 not expected to contain the people. ■ Tomorrow night the evangelists will i give a concert and Bible lecture, to i which the people are asked to bring ■ a silver special offering for the sup- , port of the Fife company. Chairs | , i have been secured to seat every availl able space in the building that all may • have an opportunity to hear this noted - company. , o FARM FOR SALE. f Good 40 acre farm, 4% miles west I • of Decatur; all black land, good build- • Ings.

SOME FACTS AijUT THE HORSE. A colt unbroken is worth little more than notuing; improperly broken, It is worth still less. It Is harder to break a horse that nas been tam= pored with by unskilled hands than one never touched by the band o! man. Often I*. Is impossible to rid an individual of faults thrust upon it, wheu a youngster, by an educator who has not had the necessary experience. Many times horses have thus spoiled for life. P. C. Masterson, the horse trainer and educator, is a man thoroughly experienced and equipped for this undertaking. Horses placed in bin charge can be placed there with the fullest confidence that they will re ceive the careful and skillful atten tion, made possible by years of ex perience. Now Is the time to have colts broken. Don’t wait till warm weather, as you can now get them handled with more attention. Masterson is also a developer of speeL, and has met with splendid success in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breaking and educating of colts is a very ini ! portant branch. Experience has I taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early in the year. When a horse goes a ‘ good 1 corkmg mile" every muscle and fibre lin its make-up is put to the most | tense exertion. For this much power I of lung and muscle is required. To I

get this power a good supply of sysj tematic jogging is unavoidably neces- , sary. During the racing season many good prospects are turned out on pas i lure because they were put to the test of their speed and endurance bei fore thay had sufficient preparation. The horse should be built up in the winter in order to develop speed in the spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disas ter. The subject best fitted for hard campaigining is the prospect well win'ered. Masterson is well equipped for I such wintering. Training barn at ! Steele's park. Address P. C.
