Remember, if you do not register you cannot vote. We want you to register May 9th, if possible, if we can get every democrat to register Thursday, May 9th, it will relieve your committee of a great deal of extra labor, which time they can devote to something else This being national campaign yeai, the committee will have an abundance of work outside of registration, which must be done, and if you want to make it easier for us, register May 9th. I am asking this as a special favor, as chairman of the county central committee. Yours for success. J. W. BOSSE. •' If we arc T o believe ex-President Roosevelt, Mr. Tait is a liar. If we believe the president, the colonel belongs to the same class. It s rough language, certainly, for the two biggest men, in point of honorable position, in the nation, but they are throwing the accusations back and forth at one another so promiscously that it fairly makes a patriotic citizen shudder. If the charges are true, neither is tit to be president. If they are not true, then born are guilty as charged of being carriers of untruths, and are certainly unfit to fill the high office to which they aspire. No wonder Mr. Fairbanks is ‘sawing wood.” May 9th is the date. It is the oc casion of the first registration ever held in Adams county. There are a number of new propositions to be figured out concerning this proceedure, and if you are in doubt, look the matter up now. Get ready to register ox the first day. It is important, to you, to your county, to your party, to your state. The precinct committeemen and, inspectors are busy now getting ready. They will be grid to give you any information

Today the primaries are being hel l in Massachusetts, end the battle between Taft and Roosevelt for the delegates is attracting the attention of the nation. If Roosevelt wins he will have at least an even break with Taft, . though the latter cannot quit. If Taft wins, it means that he will be nominated. While it would be a vic--1 tory for Roosevelt, should he prevent I the nomination of Taft, the latter can 1 | only win by being nominated. If it relates to state finances unde" . i the present democratic administration and appears in the Indianapolis Star —either on its editorial page or in it;, news columns under the name cf George W. Stout —you can safely make oath that it is not true. If the i Star's editorial falsehoods and the I contributed falsehoods of the paid political news writer are reproduced 1 by any other republican paper in the state which chances to fall under your i attention, you may eet it down that. ■ such paper is either deceived and misled or else delights in printing untruths. i Sixty-five contrrtcors are inspecting ; the line of the Chicago ri Erie f wRI | file bids on the v.of“ dcaole-track-i ing that line of railroad through here. ; The sub-contracts will be let withm a 1 week and the big ten-million-dollar job of laying anothei track from Marion, Ohfb, to Hammond will "oon be on.

It is impossible to stick this car. The Model “II ” is the best car on earth to pull through the mud.
