Entered at the poetoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mnj’. THE CONVENTION The democratic convention has passed into history, as one of the most enthusiastic, harmonious, splendid meetings of the kind ever held in the state, 't he Hon. Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon, a gifted and favorite son, who has worked his way up from a laborer in one of the coat fields of the state to the leadership of his party, was named for governor. Mr. O’Neill of Mishawaka, one of the cleanest and most progressive young men in the state, is ins running mate, as the candidate for lieutenant-govern-or. The present two-year officers were again nominated, while Mr. Zoercher, of Tell City, was selected as reporter of the supreme court; Judge John Spencer of Evansville, for supreme judge, First district, Judge R. K. Erwin of Fort Wayne, supreme judge, Fourth district, and Judge Joseph Shea of Seymour, for appellate judge, First district. It is a strong and worthy ticket that will win at the November election, and is made up of men who will serve the people honestly and faithfully. While there were several hard battles during the convention, the candidates recognized the fact that some one had to lose and the spirit of getting together to lick the opponents was manifested on every hand. Senator Kern presided and his fairness to every candidate was ■ easily recognized The democratic I platform is a strong document, writ- i ten in the interests of the majority of , the people, and will stand your most I careful scrutiny. The lines are set so far as the democrats are concerned, the leaders have been chosen, and now for victory Every one admires the winner, but no less does every one admire the good loser and Jake Denny, the Eighth district candidate for lieuten-ant-governor, made a hit in the convention in his speech withdrawing his name. "In withdrawing my name from further consideration by this convention,” he said, "I want to say that there is not a sore spot on me as large as the speck on a kildeer's egg. I am reminded of the bull that tried to butt the locomotive off the track. People had high regard for his courage, but thought it was poor judgment on his part. Napoleon at Waterloo had no more loyal supporters in the old guard than I have had

• among my friends in the Eighth disstrict and elsewhere. My course is clear. A democrat I was born and a democrat I will die. If every demo- ' crat in Indiana will do his part as I ' will do mine in this campaign Indiana will give a democratic majority ''of a hundred thousand this year." One of the strong paragraphs of Mr. i I Ralston’s speech, accepting the nomi- ' nation for governor, was the follow ing: “Personally I believe in obedii ence to law-. In this I do not differ ! from the great majority of my countrymen. As a state, Indiana stands I for law and order, and I want no man to support me for the great office I am seeking under the delusion that in the event of my success I shall stand for loose mcia s and the non-en-fnreement of the law. The penal laws of the state should either be enforced or repealed. IT elected it will not be my duty to make law-s not to interprete the law, except for my own official guidance, but I will have to take an oath to ‘Take care that the law be faithfully executed,’ and that oath I will respect.” Hon. Fred Caldwell of Winchester J moved to make the nomination of Judge Erwin unanimous and he meant it. It is admitted that Mr. Caldwell is one of Indiana's best lawyers, | a thorough gentleman and a man of whom the Eighth district is deservedly proud. The Eighth district secured her! share of recognition in the conven- | tion. due to the untiring efforts and j energy of that valiant young leader, W. A. Kunkle, the district chairman. ; He is one of the strong men of the state democratic committee and is so recognized. Lew Ellingham was again named as candidate for secretary of state. During his service in that office, he has made a record that will bear investi- • gation. NOTICE.

Fourteen couples from the Concord, Lutheran church gave a surprise call 'on Mr. and Mrs. James Stockard of i near Williams last evening. A good social time, with Sn old-fashioned taffy pulling, made the time a pleasant one. ——- The first of a series of two sewing , I parties given Thursday afternoon by I Mrs. D. B. Erwin and Mrs. S. D. | Beavers, at the Beavers home on i I First street, was one of the most de- i | lightful social affairs of the season, |as the forty guests who responded to | the invitations can attest. Pretty potted blooming cinerarias, together with vases of carnations in the pale and deeper shades of pink were used in the home decorations that appealed in a charming way with their lovely (Colors and fragrance, and here and I there about the room, in happy abandon snuggled snowy and fluffy white Easter rabbits, significant of the coming Eastertide. Conversation flowed freely with the inset of the needles wielded by the sewing party, the needlework giving way later to an interesting recreation in the form of a (hidden word contest. Down through ! the list of words were the hidden letters found until the words “Vernal i Equinox," one most appropriate to Thursday, the first day of springstood revealed to the successful one. Mrs. Otto Haubold, of Chicago, who , was awarded the first honors, a pretty (Cineraria, whose blooms carried out .the Easter colors of purple and white. The hostesses were assisted in serving a two course luncheon by the (Misses Mary and Ireta Erwin and 'Leah Hensley, the menu being: Cream of chicken in pastry cups, perfection salad, deviled eggs, pickles, cottage ; cheese. coffee, strawberry ice cream, white cake, after-dinner-mints. Favors were marshmel’ow baby chicks. - ■ Mrs. Grover Hoffman entertained 'the Embroidery club Thursday evenI ing at 6 o’clock dinner, when the anI i nouncement was made that the more than usual elaborate entertainment ' was given In farewell before she goes to Fort Wayne to make her home. Her ■parents, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Loch, have purchased a new liome on Leith street Fort Wavne. and Mr. and Mrs. i

:Hoffman will reside with them. They 'will be at home there after May Ist. (Following the delicious dinner, sewing was in order and a delightful time, although there was much regret that the club will soon lose one of its most popular members. Mrs. Elizabeth Rademacker, one of the fine old pioneer ladies of the city, celebrated her seventy-sixth birthday anniversary in a quiet way Tuesday Iby receiving the calls and written greetings and best wishes of her many friends. Mrs. Rademacker re- ’ | cently was quite ill with what was ' I thought to be paralysis, but has re- .' covered sufficiently to be about in her (usual good spirit''. ’ j Democrat Want Ads Pay
