Governor Wilson, the democratic 1 nominee for president, is making, < votes each day. He is sound and log- ' ( ical and sincere and honest and the ■ . people are for him. They will trust i him with the reins of government. According to the straw vote being i taken by the Cincinnati Enquirer in Indiana Wilson is securing about as many votes as the other two candi- . dates combined. It looks like easy | sailing, but the democrats- should be active, up and doing. Over-confidence has lost many a battle, and too much « care and watchfulness and hustle never hurts. Get busy. Let’s show | them how fast we can travel. According to the figures from the last recfistration, about two-fifths of j the "jte in Adams county is still out. ' There is work to do and every demo- , crat should realize it. Get up on your toes, boys; get this vote out on October 6th, if you have to carry them. If you don’t they can t vote and the result on November sth may be disastrous. Now is the time to plan for the October registration, the last of < the year. Do it. Do it. Do it. The campaign is on in Indiana. To be sure it is not so exciting as it will 1 be in a month from now, but with the three parties campaigning from one end ol the state to the other and cross-ways, there is bound to be-all the excitement necessary before November sth. Mr. Durbin sounded the republican keynoto at Marion Thursday, and Mr. Ralston, the democratic nominee for governor, and Mr. Beveridge, the bull moose, had already made their opening statements to the jury. The lines are fixed and the scrap is on. According to the invitations sent out from Elwood, for the anniversary celebration being held there today, i* was discovered about twenty years ago that the tin plate could be manufactured in Indiana cheaper than it could abroad. If this is true, what’s the need of a protective tariff, and who gets that difference in the price? It’s the same old story of a few capitalists being in partnership with the government and getting so rich that they have to live in New York or Paris. If tin plate can be manufactured cheaper in this country than anywhere else, it looks foolish to have it protected by tariff, and we confess we can’t undei’stand the logic of it. Wilson, the democratic nominee for president, stands for many things that cannot help but aid you, and his past record is proof that he will do as he promises. He stands for presidential primaries, publicity of campaign funds, tariff duties as taxes of every kind must be levied to raise revenue for the support of the government. Immediate revision of the tariff steadily 1 ~I

Is it any wonder that the people are for him? NEW YORK MAN IS COMING. A representative of one of the biggest suit and coat houses in New York City will be at the Gass & Meibers Store of Quality all day Saturday, but that one day only, when any one of the ladies of this community who care to, may look over his samples and if they so desire, have their measure taken specially for any garments they want. This store has a very large line of ready-to-wear goods on hand, all new and up to date, but if they havn’t just what you want, this is a splendid time to order. POLICECOURTNEWS The Trial of Daniel Baum-, gartner is in Progress in ’Squire’s Court. FOR SURETY OF PEACE ! j Lawrence Opliger Plaintiff, Case is Being Fought I Very Hard. i ■ The trial Os the state on the part of Lawrence Opliger vs. Daniel Baurng; "iiier, on a charge of surety of the peace, came up tn police court this morning before Squire Stone at 9 o’clock. x As the number of witnesses was large and more room was needed than the office of the ’squire afforded, the use of the mayor’s room in the city hall was secured. Here the case went to trial with Prosecutor Parrish and Clark J, Lutz for the prosecution, and with Attorney Dore Erwin lor the defense. A large number of spectators were present and seemed to take srrear interest in the evidence as presented. i ~e i ase is being hard fought by both sides and it is probable that it will continue into late this evening. The evidence was sifted thoroughly by the attorneys and technicalities were numerous. The outcome of the , case can hardly be presumed at this time. | William DeVinne, the fellow who was up on a drunk charge, was brought up before ’Squire Stone during the dinner hour and drew five dollar and costs for his part. He will lay out fourteen days. This is his third offense. — ■ ' —o — SHANNON STOCK COMPANY.
