The Marshall administration has rescued and redeemed it from bankruptcy. The statement that any employee of the state, at any time since the inauguration. o’ cue democratic state administration, has been compelled to wait for his pay is false in every particular, as every employee of the state, in every institution, in every bureau and every department of the state administration, has been paid promptly on the first day of the month and we challenge the state's defamers to produce a single warrant unpaid or to name a single employee of the 1 state who has not promptly received | his pay. “•It is idle to say that public officials . can spend more money that has been j appropriated to them, and we point, with pride to the fact that appropria-j tions of our democratic legislature ■ ot lull, were within the tax levy of the people, and that this tax levy re- ■ duced, as above stated, is required to

be appropriated for the purnose for which It was levied and will, if kept in the hands of the democratic party and not diverted from the purposes for which it is levied, pay all of the debt of the state that can be paid at the time of its maturity in the year 1915.” "We, therefore, await with confi 1 dence the verdict of the people in No--1 vember upon the question of the abil--1 ity, integrity and economy of this i democratic administration and we 1 characterize as infamous the false ini formation touching state finances furnished to the people of this state , through the editorial columns of the Indianapolis Star and prepared by that paid prevaricator of the Annanias club, George W. Stout, who, we are informed, has never examined a record nor made any inquiry of any ' democratic official touching the condi tions of our state finances.” The Honorable Stephen B. Fleming w’as renominated for senator at the convention held at Fort Wayne Wednesday afternoon and in an able ad dress told the delegates his reason for his position on the important bills before the senate at the last term, his part in the work of that body and his position on the questions now of j greatest importance. Mr. Fleming :3 one of the big men of the senate, capable, industrious and he will be reelected next fall by a majority even I exceeding the five thousand given him | four years ago. He is a stalwart, who I can do things and it is worth much to ■ any district that their representative ■ in a law making body can accomplish , things. He may have opinions on vari i ous subjects that do not coincide with I all of his constituents, but he is honest enough to state these opinions, ' and his record gummed up is one that no one need feel ashamed of. Adams,

r county will vote for Senator Fleming. t . | There is no use worrying about the , result, if Taft and Roosevelt both run i . and divide the republican vote, for the L democrats will have all the votes in . the electoral college and ' congress won't have the responsibility of making a president. When Roosevelt and . Taft get through satisfying their own . ambitions there won t be enough left ; of the g. o. p. to fuss about. Boost the Old Home Week. That boosts the Home town.

DEBOLT I Also Accused of Taking 1 1 Watch and Vest—lssued Order and Let Go, ) An affidavit was filed this morning in 'Squire Stone’s court by George Debolt, proprietor of the Debolt lodging rooms on Third street against £ Robert Thompson for beating a four weeks' board hili, totaling eighteen dollars He was later apprehended in the north part jf the city by the k officers and when taken before the official plead guilty to the charge preferred. Johnson gave an order for $13.75 to the complete satisfaction of Mr. Debolt and the case was dismissed. Johnson had been in the city for five weeks and for the last four has been making his quarters at the Debolt house. This morning a vest and watch belonging to Mr. Debolt were also missing and sometime during the night had been removed from his bed room. Suspicion held by him led to Johnson, but when questioned on the subject this morning denied knowing anything about it and no further action was taken.
