Abe Martin says that Richmond has sn adjustaable coliseum, which holds i 5,000 when a bull mooser speaks and ■ 1,500 when a democrat fills the same hall, according to the Richmond Palladiium. The editor follows the same rule as is used by Fred Rohrer. . Hets that Ralston will be elected by, a plurality of from 25,000 to 40,000 over either Durbin or Beveridge have, been posted here, but the takers are, scarce. It's a hard job to do any gam- | bling on this election, all students of I the situation agreeing that the democrats have things pretty well sewed up. — Senator 8. B. Fleming, democratic candidate for re-election as senator for Adams and Allen counties, and .X'oah Egley, the republiicuu candidate, each filed the full account of their expenses for the nomination at ! the clerk s office in Fort Wayne, neither having spent a single cent to secure the honor. Congressman Adair should be great- 1 ed by a packed house when he addresses the voters of this community at the court house Thursday evening. The inarching club will be out again and it will be one of the interesting meetings of the campaign. Delegations from over the county will be on hand and Mr Adair will realize he is in the hands of his friends, admirers and supporters. Everybody here is tor Adair. When the vote from Adams county comes in it always counts, and it remained for this old green spot to place Samuel Ralston ahead of Beveridge in the straw vote conducted by the Cincinnati Enquirer. When the vote was taken in Indianafiolis Mr. Beveridge ran ahead and kept the lead until tins vote was sent in from here, placing Mr ILuaton about one hundred In the lead. It is likely that he will keep that lend and will be elected two weeks from today by a safe majority. Among the candidates ou the Indiana state ticket we wish to call your attention particularly to Richard K. Erwin, democratic nominee for judge of the supreme court. He belongs to us, bom and reared tn old Adams county, practiced law here, served as representative and was for six years the judge of our circuit court. We knew him and we love him. Adams county

will not bo doinig her duty unless she gives him a vote that will make him know the high regard in which we hold him. Take off your coat and do a little missionary work for Dick Erwin. His picture on the front page of today's paper shows him with the old friendly smile that won’t come off — neither will his loyalty to Adams county and his love for those who live here. i The Berne Witness Is still worrying ! about the crowds that were here last week and estimates the crowd on Brvan day at 2,500. The truth is that the size of a crowd on such a day is very hard to estimate, but the streets were • black with people and the crowd that J heard Mr. Bryan was several hundred 1 times as large as the one that heard Mr. Durbin on the evening of the evening of the same day. The Witness 1 has the ol d idea of being as unfair us I possible when telling about the opposition. but the people know when a ' newspaper is telling the truth and I when it is Just talking. Old Home I Week was a grand success. Every'thing advertised was given as near | as possible, everybooy was happy, and ’ the only kicks have come from a tew iold grouches who didn't come, and who I have no idea of just how good a time ' was had and and how orderly the crowd was. Two weeks from today, November sth, will be election day. The campaign, while quieter than usual vnd free from the alarm that is generally 1 spread, has been an earnest one and the voters have long ago made up their minds to elect Wilson and Marshall. That they will conduct the affairs of government in away that will meet ' the approval of business men, laborers, farmers and all other classes is not doubted by any one but the wildeyed ixvlitician who is seeking some ruse with which to alarm the peo|>ie and secure votes. It won't work thia year. For a good many years the republican party has been putting this joke over on the people, so long that their own party finally read the writings on the wall and a split that has almost equally divided the g. o. p. is the result They know they are wrong and they can yell about ''What's ' wrong with Taft and the republican 1 * party,' and point to the record of Ute past until they are blue in the face. • but it don't "take.’’ The cost of liv- ', ing and the cost of everything else i with which the great trusts and cor- ;' potations have anything to do. baa ad- • vanced until it is triple and the wages • of the man who labors and the profits > of the merchants nave remained about the same. Its a queer sort of prosperity, that won t go down this year. ■ The republicans were doomed to ie- ’ feat even if the) hadn't divided, and that makes it aoubiy sure. ——————— > Republican orators and new simpers that are now putting in extra time warning the people to beware of ■ Wilson for tbs reason that a panic will follow his election, may believe • the yare performing a patriotic duty.

but they must feel exceedingly small whenthey sit down and soberly consider the effect of that kind of chattr. The probability is that many of them will keep up the calamity cry after the election iis over, even before th inauguration, thus friightnlng people of all classes and encourageing a condition of affairs that Is calculated to bring about hard times. If half of the people in the country start out and talk panic and govern their transactions with the idea that a paniic is coming, there is not much question but. that they can bring on hard times. So it would seem that these croakers are the enemies of the country and are actually doing their utmost to bring about trouble just because their party cannot control the offices and the government. That may be patriotism. but it looks more like a well developed case of idiocy. In 1907 when the money panic struck this country under the Roosevelt administration, the democratic papers and democratic leaders used their inlluenc to quiet the people to restore confidence. They approved of the action of the banks in limiting the amount of cash that could be drawn by depositors, although every bank that refused to reci ognize and pay the check of a depositor in lull violated the law and could have been closed up for failinig to pay. The banks were upheld instead of being denounced for their action. There was a united effort made to head off the panic and it was headed off. Contrast that action with the action of the yelpers of today, when there is not the least reason in tl»e world for a word to be uttered about panics, and you can readily determine which course is the more commendable and honorable. —Cclumbla City Post.
