Entered at the poetoffice tn Decatur, Indiana, as second cluse tnau. Mr. Beveridge said:- "and i guess I'm going tq be elected governor." Guess again Albert Jeremiah. Bet you can hit it exactly if you try real hard. Senator 01116 Jarnest who speaks in this city Friday afternoon, will teil you many truths concerning the big questions of rhe hour, politically, and you should take advantage oi this chance to gain information of value. One week from today is the date <•! the last registration. Seven hundred democrats in Adams county must on that day call at their regular voting place and qualify, or they will disfranchise themselves and be prevented from voting in the most important election held in this country for half a century. We take pleasure today in presenting to our readers the first sixteenpage edition ever printed in Decatur. The exact number of papers pi inted was 6,500. Four pages were printed on each run, making 26,000 impressions. When you consider that tills is four times our usual size and twice and one-half our regular number, you will appreciate the fact that it was more than an ordinary job. W e therefore feel mighty good to have again accomplished something in the way of printing. The names published today, is the entire list of those invited up to date to participate in Old Home Week and will be retained no doubt during many years to come.

J leaaon of hla popularity in the eight ■ district is because be has carried out 1 aft principles. Now its hard to , know Just what the senator meant by the taie. but every voter of this district know* full well that Mr. Adair : has voted on every occasion for his constltutuents, for the soldier, farmer, , merchant, manufacturer, laborer, for i the laws that do the greater good for i the greater number of |»eople.
