The program is “cut and dried'’ and will be carried out as planned. Al'bert Beveridge will be nominated for governor, unless he refuses it and the rest of the ticket will be filled out as best it can. According to these figures. President Tafe begins the campaign with a practical certainty that he will have 155 votes and Governor Wilson 174. Taking these figures as a basis, Mr. Taft needs 122 to win, while Governor Wilson only has to gain ninety-three to attain the presidency.—Washington ' Dispatch. But is it exactly fair to require the ( president to have 277 to win while the govetl’.or can do the trick with 267? It sounds almost unconstitutional. — Indianapolis News. If Roosevelt does not soon finish that job of convincing the public that he was robbed at Chicago, there is danger that he will convince a good many that he is a bughouse. A high minded patriot who is just starting out to save the people from the buzzards in politics, the robbers in commerce and the tyrants of libertyshould lay away his war club, cut out the personal abuse and begin preaching the old doctrine of peace and good will to ail. The fact is the long and continued ranting about Taft's cut-throats and his noble band of political robbers and tricksters has come to be an old and uninteresting chestnut. —Columbia City Post. Mrs. Kate Thompson of Monroe was a shopper here this morning. Miss Bess Congleton has gone to Muncia fpn n several days' visit with mends. The Misses Annita and Helen Swerenger left I.,day for Richmond to visit with relatives for several days.

The gathering included the descendants of Christian and Elizabeth (Flickinger) Magley, natives of Switzerland, who with their seven children, came to this countryin the summer of 1831. Travel then wss laborious and the voyage itself took more than a month, and frequently the passengers were called upon to help man the ship. They' landed in New York, then proceeded byway of the Hudson river and the Erie canal, to Buffalo, N. Y. Further progress was hindered by ice there and the family lingered in that citytill spring. While there the mother died, and the father and children came by boat to Cleveland, Ohio, and

then by wagon to Fairfield county, 0., and later to Franklin county, Ohio, where the father died in 1839.

He I was one of the gold seekers who went | to California in 1849, known as “the | forty-niners” and was one of the very few who escaped the massacre of the Indians. Besides those named, before, others who attended the reunion today from this county were E. S. Christen and family, F. A. Peoples and wife. C. D. Lewton and wife, John Magley, Jr., and family Charles E. Magley and wife. i The Needlecraft club enjoyed another of their evenings of pleasure 1 witli Miss Vernia Smith as hostess.

C., July 31—-(Spec-ial to Daily Democrat) —Coining new metaphores in an attack on Colonel Roosevelt, Representative Barthold of Missouri today delivered in the house the sceond speech of the Taft campaign defense against the "stolen delegate" charge. The Missourian was even more bitter in his charge against Roosevelt than Representative Mondell "A crime, unprecedentel in its brutality has been committed against the republican party, those who rashly denounce the national committee and villify the members know nothing of the facts,” said Barthold. Barthold declared the committee was bulldozed and threatened with being mobbed by the Roosevelt enthusiasts. HIS LAST WORDS.

No water; no food. —Major Butte." The message was written on a wireless blank, bearing the official imprint of the Titanic. ARE FINISHING.
