A flaiiiig headline in an Indianapolis newspaper says that "Big Business Hus Its Eyo on Democrats " And no doubt that is true, for Big Business knows that the democrats have had an eye on it for a long time—a very determined eye, too, which means to end out any deviltry that Big Business may be up to and put a stop to it. it is customary for the temporary chairman of a state convention to deliver what is usually called the keynote speech of the campaign to follow. That is what Governor Marshall I is expected to do when he takes the i gavel as temporary presiding officer i of the democratic state convention tomorrow. It is conceded that no better selection could have been made by the state committee for such purpose. In both 1908 and 1910 Governor .Marshall's speeches set the pace and the result of those campaigns is mighty pleasant democratic history. i Senator John W. Kern, it is announc- ( ed, will be the permanent chairman , of the convention. The fact that ] Governor Marshall and Senator Kern , 1 are to preside will of itself serve to 1 attract unusual attention to the democratic gathering. I,

The Irish social given Tuesday evening in the Methodist church parlors by the Epworth League was a very successful one. a large number of young people enjoying the pleasures arranged by the Epworth Leaguers.

’ i tie class rooms was decorated as a I booth and given over to penny games. | in one Miss Ethel Smith told fortunes, in another Miss Margaret Mills had I charge of a fishing pond, and in still ; others were games such as "Hit ! Mike,” and "Hit or Miss.” The Rev. I Semans displayed artistic skill in his arrangement in one corner of the room, of a “Blarney Castle.” This historic castle was reached by laborious climbing of steps and when the heights were finally reached the kissing of a "blarney stone” was in order. When bending to do so. however, a small mirror came into view, bearing the sign, “Don’t blush." The Sunday school orchestra played several airs, and there was a piano duet by the Misses Vera Hower and Nellie Nichols and vocal music by the high school quartet, comprising Messrs. Rice, Beery, Baumgartner and Tritch. Refreshments carried out the Irish color green, and the menu included lettuce sandwiches, potato chips, pickles and coffee.

■Van Wert Bulletin says: "The danc;ing party given last evening by the I Van Wert lodge of Elks, in observance of St. Patrick’s day, was the most successful function yet given by that popular organization. Nearly two hun|dred ladies and gentlemen were in I attendance to participate in the program of twenty dances, tripped to the I delightful music of the Smith saxophone trio of Springfield. The affair was most pleasantly informal and despite the crush during the earlier portion of the evening, it will long be remembered by the merry party present.
