Very clearly Woodrow Wilson is not a genuin reformer. Here he is calmly discussing issues as he travels about the country, instead of swinging his hat in the air and shouting • liar,” "ingrate,” bully,” "slug ’em over the ropes.” and other such expressions denoting the only true and genuine reiorrrar.—The Commoner. The campaign tour oi Governor Woodrow Wilson thrtnigh the west is one of the greatest ever made by any man. Everywhere he is being heralded as the next president of the United States, and everything he says marks him as a man big enough tor the job. The west is tor him, as well as the east, and the south and it need not surprise you if he carries every state in the union. The voters of Adams county have registered and when the results are tallied up and duly reported at the state headquarters, we will again be known as the big green spot of the old Hoosier state. Our citizens are alive to the questions of the day. They are enterprising and want to take a part in the affairs of government. It is to the credit of every citizen in the grand old county that we have made this splendid showing The special committee under »he chairmanship of Dave Hensley is niaking a big effort to have everybody clean up their premises for next week and they deserve the honest suppo t oi each citizen, collectively and individually. They ask that the weeds be cut and the rubbish removed and that you do what you can to make' your home property and business place I look as attractive as possible You will be surprised to know what this means if we each do a little. The syndicate of big city newspaper* that is taking a straw vote in the northern states, east and west, linds no reason to change its conclusions of a week ago All the tlguies point one way—to the certain election of Wilson and Marshall. There may be changes between now and the election. but the chances are they will be In lavor oi Wilson, rather than against him. The straw vo<e aiao shows turn

Roosevelt is running second, but thee is a feeling that in a number of states this will prove to be wrong when the votes are counted But it seems certain that Wilson is to be a big winner, —Columbia City Poet. High Grade Sweater Coats in Ruff-neck and Ft, 1 It 1

His speeches erf 19":i' show him still denouncing democrats,] this time as traitors because they ,'ollowed Bryan on the proposition that "governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed.” In 1904 the Beveridge speeches were just as bitter in their treatment, of democrats, and in 1908 when the democrats again followed Bryan, Mr. Beveridge was found fighting the man from Nebraska with all his old-time arrogance and demanding that all republicans line up as a man behind Taft. "I’ve heard that it is bad for a man to publish his speeches during his life time," said a democratic editor th<> other day, "and since looking ovt r Beveridge's published speeches. I'm ready to admit it. If democrats <an read his views on public questions i therein expressed and find anything I in common with the views of demo crats from Jefferson down tn Bryan, i he has a keener eyesight than 1 have.” It is also being recalled in Indianapolis that Mr. Beveridge has been called upon to close the city campaigns In Indianapolis year after year in city elections, where no party principles are involved, and that he has bt?:t such a hide-bound and bitter partisan that lie sever failed to urge the election of any republican over any I democrat. o Democrat Want Ads Pa»'.'
