While it is realized that this will not come at this congress, it shows that Mr. Adair has us in mind and that it is not an impossibility within the next few years. It would help some. Leave it to John. The contest committee of the republican national convention will meet Thursday in Chicago and for ten days will have a session, heretofore unheard of in American history. The battle will wage fiercely, and the result will probably determine the outcome of the convention. The Taft forces claim 579 delegates and the Roosevelt men say they will have over six hundred. It all depends. The democratic editors of Indiana will meet at Fort Wayne this week, the occasion being the mid-summer meeting of this organization. Besides the fact that it will be a delightful event for the editors and their wives, the meeting promises to be of much importance because of the fact that Governor Marshall, prospective candidate for the presidency, and Samuel Ralston, the nominee for the governorship, will address the editors and their friends Friday evening. On the first page of this issue appears an appeal from a son of a veteran for the erection of a monument to the old soldiers from this county, who offered their lives during the civil war. The remnant of veterans who are still with ns, shrinks each year and the honors and tokens of appreciation that we are to offer these brave men should come quickly, If they are to participate. It is a good thought, one that is deserving of more than passing notice, and one which we hope will materialize into the desired end, a monument ready for dedication by next Memorial day.
