Sam Ralston, democratic nominee for governor, said in his speech at Richmond Thursday that Beveridge would he strangled to death in the grip of the harvester trust and steel combine long before any man’s collar would be placed on his (Ralston's) neck, and he said it in the sincere and honest manner which convinced the hearer anu which will assure his election by Che largest majority ever given any man in Indiana. The man who does not register on October 7th, if he has not done so, is simply placing himself outside the citizenship of his community. We cannot understand how a man would [ live in this county in this day and I age, and not want to take a part in the elections, how he could have so little interest in the affair of the day, or in who served as officials of the | county, state or nation. It is as ini- , portant as is any part of your busi- . ness that you vote, and you can’t do 1 it unless you register. Seven hundred democrats in Ad- ' ams county have not registered. Don’t i that make you listen, Mr. Precint Worker, Mr Candidate. Mr. Man, who believes there should be a change in the national men and methods'.’ , There is work to do, and it must be done, now, before the October 7th registration, for that is the last chance. The man wo does not register on that day will not bo allowed to vote. This county should give a ' democratic majority of 2,000 this , year, but we can't do it if the vote is not registered. Now is the time to do your political duty. Register, and help get the other fellow to do so. The Hon. J. A. M. Adair, congress- * man from this district, will open his , Adams county campaign at Pleasant Mills this evening. Mr. Adair is a favorite in Adams county, as he is in every nook and corner of the old Eighth, and he is that because he is a faithful, sincere and honest representative, a friend to the laborer, farmer, merchant, soldier, manufacturer and citizen of every class. His majority this year will continue to grow as it has during every campaign in which he has appeared before the people. He has made good. Decatur will entertain a number of distinguished people during Old Home Week. This fact is assured by the acceptances. These will include nearly all the state officials of Indiana, a number of congressmen, the nine, directors of the Holland-St. Louis j Sugar company, officers of the La’rowe Construction company, candidates of all political parties and many | others. We want the town to look good to them. Decorations will attract the eye, but they won't cover up Snv dirt in the streets or alleys or' yards. Let’s all get together on this and have things looking spick and J span anu clean before October 14th. It pays to be well dressed and that’s the way Decatur should be during the big week. |

■> Our private opinion, publicly ext pressed, is that the Bull Moose convention this morning, was just a little y disappointing to those who have been working for the past week to make a showing on this date. The crowd = was small and the enthusiasm was not the kind to inspire one with the g belief that they expect to create vary 9 much stir in Adams county. s ' !

Ariman, at her I home on North Third street. Much . business came before the class, among them being plans for a home ■k taient show which will be put on at the Bosse opera house the week after the home-coming, and will be staged under the auspices of Miss I Mabel Welty, who has had special training as an elocutionist and impersonator. The class will also give a Hallowe'en social. Arrangements were also made to work or. pieces of > sewing at the regular meeting, these to be contributed to a Christmas bazaar stock. The home was very prettily decorated in the class colors of gold and black, in streamer effect, and a very pleasant surprise was in store for the class, when, at the refresh- • ment hour, the hostess threw open the dining room, revealing the prettily decorated room and table. Stream- . ers in the color were festooned from the chandelier to the corners of the table, and the centerpiece was a doll, dressed as Ruth, the Bible character for whom the class was named. Place cards were postcard pictures of the teacher. The dinner given by Miss Elizabeth Voglewede for Mrs. Lew Voglewede of Muskogee, Okla., and Mrs. Ed Meyers of Fort Wayne was also enjoyed by the following guests: Mrs. Charles Voglewede, Mrs. Clem Vogicwede and Mrs. J. H. Voglewede. Everything combined to make the thimble part given Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Barton France for Mrs. Ethel Christen of Muskogee, Okla., one of great pleasure to the forty or more ladies who brought their sewing and spent the hours delightfully, chatting. The whole afternoon. however, was not devoted to needlework, and a pleasant diversion was a guessing contest, in which Mrs. Hugh Hite proved the most skillful, and was awarded a china plate. The refreshments were very tempting and | the hostess was assisted in their serving by Mrs. Burt Mangold. ——- —o Court House News Continued from Page 1) the W. J.
