It is the desire of the chairman and his assistants that as many as can attend. Any question asked will be answered and the organ ization work tor May 9th will be arranged. Be sure to attend. The district convention of the Pj thian Sisters is in session in Decatur today. We welcome them to our fair city and sincerely hope the occasion may be one of pleasure and profit to them and the society thev represent. ' The organization is «ne from which comes many good results, the membership being the very cream of Indiana ladyship. Banded together in the ties of friendship and sisterhood, they can not help doing a good work. We join the citizens of Decatur in extending greetings. The close race ! n Massachusetts, in I which Taft and Roosevelt run neck and neck no doubt means that the disgraceful actions of the president, and ex-president, will continue, perhaps grow warmer. They have called each other everything on the old list, coined some new ones, and have all the great literary men of the age figuring out new titles, which say anything they can be translated to mean.

Under an act passed by the legislature, a state educational building is to be erected as a Memorial, and will contain the state library, museum and educational of flees, but it is deemed fitting that arrangements also be made for a celebration. The matter will be definitely decided by the expression at the banquet Friday evening. Register May 9th. Just a reminder, lest you forget that this is one of the very important duties you have for this month. One week from tomorrow is the day. If you call yourself an American citizen, you should have pride enough to do the things required ; by law, to secure the right of suffrage. You should fight for your rights, if any one disputes them. It's your affair, not the other fellow's. You want to be one of the men who say who shall fill the offices, make the laws, and conduct the government. You lose that right, if vou refuse to register. ' It is one of the times in your life, when you should declare your willingness to do all you can to protect your i own vote. Every voter must do it. ARE COMING WITH McCLISH.

Daily Democrat*—President Taft won - eighteen and Colonel Roosevelt eight- ] een of Massar husett's thirty-six dele- . gates to the republican national cons vention. Roosevelt won the eight, del- . egates at large and carried five of the 1 congressional districts. President - Taft carried nine of the districts, according to practically complete returns of the day. General Champlain, > head of the Taft forces, said that the I seats of the delegates at large would . be contested. He attributed the defeat at large to a blunder of the bake-1 ; up of the ballot, which placed the I name of State Senator Stilberlith at the head of eight Taft delegates as an i independent candidate for delegate at I large. Many voters marked all nine I names and under the law these ballots I were void. The democratic results in i 10,080 precincts gave Champ Clark 32.972 votes to 11,859 for Woodrow Wil-' son in the presidential preference con-I test. — - ■ - o— A COLLISION.
