The straw' vote published Sunday shows Wilson still so far in the lead in the race for the presidency that the' odds arg about ten to one. The week's vote showed a gain for Tait and a decrease for Roosevelt in parts ol the country. Indiana is given to tlie democrats easily as are New York, Ohio ond other pivotal states. W. J. Bryan will make a three days’ tour over Indiana, about the middle of next week. Ha will be accompanied by Samuel M. Ralston, candidate for governor, and it is expected that they will visit this city, although »ue announcement has not been made by the stote committee. « They are assured of a cordial welcome it they come. Pray tor good weather, next week. If s a ve it. Delator and Adams count} will celebrate the bigge; event in mstory. All signs j»oint to a successful event and we will have it if the weather man gives us a chance. The committee can arrange everything else and are trying to do so, but the decoration of the skies is one of the fortunes of the game abont which we can only guess. And now that registration Is over, begins the grind to get the vote ou’. We take it that every man who registered however, did so because of an interest in the result of the November election and that he will cast his ballot on November sth. If the vote is out. there can be no doubt of the re suit. Wilson and Marshall will carry almost every state in the union, ani the state ticket in Indiana will win by an immense majority. The honor bestowed upon David E. Smith in electing him a member of the thirty-third degree in .Masonry is one no doubt highly esteemed by him and , his friends Other successes in one s life come to those who labor and . strive and wait but this one comes I to but few men and these must prove their deservedness by ability and faithfulness. Riches and position do not count, and the man who see its the honor rarely secure* it. Judge Smith has a right to feel proud. The ie<«*pUon given by Governor Wilson and W. J. Bryan at Lincoln Saturday was one of the greatest over witnessed in this land The Common er had just returned from a several weeks' campaigning trip to the coast and the raceplton was therefore a do t — : ■ “- !il=s=' NEW FALL SHIRTS In all the new designs anu patterns * # SI.OO and $1.50 Snappy patterns in knit ties 50c THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

In introducing the nominee • for president, Mr. Bryan explained that since they could not take him al) , over the state they had brought the state to him, and th!’ was true, for ten long trains from all over Nebraska ar- : rived to swell the crowd which was the greatest ever seen' in that city. « «ee»«--.ese- .nam> n i ii— n W—l—l— Wednesday of this week is Fire i Prevention day and Governor Marshall i has issued a proclamation asking that i on that day the people of Indiana give i persona! attention to the removal of all rubbish and debris, look after chimneys. flues and furnaces; also that instructions be given school children with refrened to tire hazzard and fire prevention. He calls upon all commercial bodies and the municipal authorities to aid in this work. The day is the anniversary of the great Chicago fire. Samuel Ralston Is appreciated at home. This fact was shown in the straw vote taken there a few days ago, in which be ran far ahead ot his ticket. When a man is popular at home lie is deserving of support other places. Big and broad, substantial and safe, common and yet witli enough reserve to fill the position of governor with dignity. Sam Ralston will be 'he choice of the voters of Indiana by a majority of fifty thousand. LIKES TH c WEST {.ontinueu irom Page 1) mand this will mean upon the hen.
