Bigg odds are offered that Wilson will be elected, and there are no takers. Roosevelt is getting ready for a circuit of the country during October. It is said now that his campaign fund will not be less tlpui six million dollars, and still he doesn't believe in using money to influence the voters. It makes some difference whose ox is being gored. I It's about time for the Indianapolis . Star to print a column article an- j nouncing that L. A. Graham has fc oue over to the Bull Moosers. They have stories each day from the other coun-1 ties, giving more or less fame to the [ self-appointed county chairmen and , there is no good reason why Alphy i should not be thus advertised. Rev. I. P. Watts of Winchester was nominated Monday as the republican candidate for congress. He has crav- 1 ed tne nonor for years and has been a candidate on several different occasions. He is an old soldier and a good citizen, but one rub in the political field against John Adair ought 'o satisfy him, as it has all the other good men who have opposed him. Well, the names are . coming in thick and last and French Quinn is about the businest man in town. And it’s just started. One visitor here yesterday said: “If you fellows keep up this lick, you will have the biggest crowd here you ever saw.” He was informed that the effort will be kept up and the bigger the crowd the better everybody is going to be satisfied and the better time we are all going to have, National Chairman McCombs will attend the Marshall notification meeting at Indianapolis on the 20th, and Governor Wilson will be there if possible. The speech will be delivered by Alton B. Parker, who will be introduced by Hon. Samuel M. Ralston. Governor Marshall will then reply. Democrats from every where will be there, and those from Adams county are invited to attend this greatest political meeting of the middle west. LOST—Bunch ei keys, somewhere in the city.
