Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, who . is so far the only avowed candidate for governor before the Taft state convention, is threatened with impeachment because of his refusal to suppress vice in the capital city. Wall street gamblers are betting that Wilson will be elected president j at the November election. They are . even offering odds of five to three This does not signifiy anything particularly, but when you come to think about it. how orten in the past twen-ty-five years have these same bookmakers missed winning their election bets? C. G. Egley, republican county chairman, has concluded arrange- , ments with chairman Houk of Allen count? for holding the joint convention to select a joint senatorial can-' didate who will oppose S. B. Fleming The convention will be held at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of August' 17th at the court house at Ft Wayne. I Vp to now there has been no wild scramble for the honor, among the Adams county republicans at least. ( -- = Are you coming home? Are your triends and relatives coming home? Its time to write them. Let's get everything ready and then have a “ripping” good time the week of October 14th. It will help and everybody will thoroughly enjoy it- In the meantime there is much to do. Get your house ready, have the yard looking right, clean up and brighten up. for we don t want to be ashamed oi the town when the boys and girls ■ come back. There are now- two republican state | organizations in Indiana. Perhaps it is better to say that there are two i organizations made up of men who' were once members of the old republican party. One of these will sup- j port Taft and the other will support Roosevelt. From present indications on« will fight under a banner emblazoned with the snouted elephant and the ether under a dag bearing the aggressive figure of the horned bull moose. Mayor Shank of Indianapolis is the big attraction at the old settlers' picnic near Linn Grove today. The mayor has gained some fame for his deals in potatoes and turkeys, and his refusal to suppress vice in the red light district of the capital city. For his stand in the latter campaign he is now threatened with impeachment by the ministerial association Lew is also a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. It is said he made a dry” speech at Union City and a wet” talk at Evansville, his rubber mind permitting him to twist about to suit the occasion. The probabilities are that he will soon be back on his old job .of auctioneering, and the advertising he is receiving now ought to make him popular in that line.

Lewis A. Graham has issued a call for the • progressives" of Adams couni ty to meet at his office at 10 o'clock 1 on Monday, July 29th, to select delej gates to the state convention to be held at Indianapolis August Ist. He invites all voters to attend, irrespective of their former party affiliations, showing his hospitable nature. It's kind of him, but he will find it just as hardffor democrats to join his party as it is for him to join the democrats. A real progressive who refuses to follow Wilson and Marshall is a dodger, who does not believe in what he claims. Roosevelt, backed by Perkins and the Harvester trust, claiming to be a progressive on every thing except "the tariff,” the only question ’ which will relieve, will stand a poor show of lining up that element of the country, against the democratic candidates. backed by the people. However, if there is to be a third party, and an Adams county man is to receive any honors from connection therewith, we know of no one who will bear them more graciously and modestly than Lewis Alpheus Graham CALL TO PROGRESSIVES.
