We have a letter from Samantha Allen, a resident of Marion, Ohio, saying that she and her “pardner” and their umbrella and birdcage will be here. Willis J. Abbott, political seer and close friend of W. J, Bry an is predict-, i ing the nomination of John W. Kern i as the democratic nominee for the | presidency. The Bulletin, published at Denison, lowa, says editorially that I “John Ken;, the grand old Abraham Lincoln of Indiana, is the man who ! can lead us to sure and complete vic-1 tory in November.” Indiana will send several special ! trains to the Baltimore convention Two sections will leave Indianapolis i on June 23rd, carrying a large number of Marshall rooters, the Marion county marching club, a band.

Congressman John A. M. Adair was called from his bed Saturday midnight to witness the president s signature to a bill which increased the pension of all the veterans of the civil war. or at least the majority of them. It was a happy moment for Mr. Adair, no doubt one of the happiest of his life, marking the accomplishment of an effort of years. While the pension law was not as he would have had it, it was an improvement and means much to many of the old soldiers and their families.

• President Taft says it would be a i terrible thing if Colonel Roosevelt should suddenly be wafted to heaven in a chariot of gold. How would this country ever get along without him? It’s the president's polite way of say- . ing he wished the colonel was in warmer climate no doubt. Teddy is now on his way to Ohio to tell the people 1 that all this talk is a “lie.'* It appeals • to the greater number of people as 1 foolish, school boy talk, disgusting to an extreme. They deserve to be ex--1 pelled until they apologize. i . The registration of voters in Adatns , county last Thursday cost about $1)00. j As a result of this expenditure ov->r 2600 voters proved their right of suffrage. It was not as expensive as the . estimate and the number who registered in .Adams county was in excess ■of the hopes of the party leaders. There seems to be a tendency to make the registration a campaign issue, but , the people of Indiana believe in fair play, and realizing that elections of i the past quarter century have not been ' conducted absolutely fairly, they will J not object to any method which put ' ties the ballot. The people should rule and they can only do so when every ' vote is counted correctly and when . only those who have the right to vote ' are allowed to do so. The law may i be crude and need some revision, but it will live and will in time improve the conditions of polities in Indiana. If you have not registered and have ' the rght to do so, you should make it your business not to miss the September registration. .. .... ROOSEVELT IN OHIO.
