Entered at the postoffice in De atur, Indiana, as second class uail. The straw votes published in the Sunday papers show Wilson still leading. It is conceded he will carry forty states, with a chapce to win in every state in the union. Indications are that Roosevelt will be second, though that point is being fiercely contested by the Taft men. All roads will lead to Herne tonight, where the big John Adair meeting is to bn held. Fifteen automobile loads will go from this city and itis expecr-' ed that the rally will be one of the 1 big ones of the year. If you can get there you should do so. A big torchlight procession will be given. Walk-over shoes which sell here for a flve-dollar bill, are retailed in London for four dollars and the retail merchant makes a bigger ■ profit than does ours, it is reasonable to believe then that the manufacturer clears one dollar more on every pair of shoes sold in the United States than he does in England. Does that help any one except him? It’s a Joke. I Sam Ralston is gaining on his competitors in the race for governor and will have a handsome plurality. He is answering the charges made by Beveridge and Landis, in away that does not do them much credit and the voters will support the Lebanon man. realizing that he Is one of the people, a tighter for their rights, an honest man. and with every qualification tor the high office he asks. The election is only a week a*»y, and there has been no disturbance of business. The reason is clear Woodrow Wilson is to be elected and the business world teas confidence in him. He believes in the people ruling, but be does not believe in wrecking business at any time or under any consideration He is honest and outspoken end is under obligation* to no mau or clique and the people will trust him. The democratic campnigu in Adams county will close with a big Saturday night rally, at which the speakers «111 be Judge Alfred Ellison of Anderson and ex-Congressman Jam- * Robinson of .the Twolfth district. A torch-light procession, with plenty at music and red fire will precede the court house meeting and enthusiasm will be plentiful The democrats bate the results of this election sewed up and will make a finish that should keep it there With only a week of thia important campaign left every worker should do his part If he docs, we will have the greatest victory ever recorded in this county.

Eagle says: “It is -becoming more and more evident to the voters of the United States that in Wilson and Marshall they have candidates equally fitted for the highest oflice in the land. This is an element well worth considering, in view of the history of the United States." As the national campaign draws to a close it is evident, from reports and all sources of information, that Governor Wilson will sweep the country and be triumphantly elected. The onlydanger to the success of the democratic ticket is in the possible failure of our voters coming out on election day and casting their ballots. The feeling of certainty of the election of Governor Wilson may have a tendency to cause some voters to neglect to go to the polls, in the belief that Wilson is sure of election and that their individual ballots mi/ not be needed. Overconfidence is the only thing which can endanger democratic success this year. Let every democrat stand up and be counted, and share in the great victory. | The contest for the presidency is over. The only question undecided is who will run second, President Taft or former President Roosevelt. Neith'er can have any poM*%> expectation of being elected; It is a fight between 'them .o secure control of the republican organization for the next four years. The most sanguine supporters of either Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft confess that the states which may be carried by either one will not exceed five or six at the outside and each of them will represent but a few electoral | . votes. The best conservative estimate as to the result of the election is that .Mr. Wilson will carry at least forty of the states and his popular vote will more than likely exceed the combined vote of both Taft and Roosevelt. If the people believe what Mr. Taft says about Mr Roosevelt r. id what .Mr. Roosevelt says about Mr. Taft, they will not be long In doubt as to what ■ they ought to do as voters and citizens of the republic. —Senator O'Gorman I As state Superintendent of Public instruction, Mr Grtwthouse has adopted and followed out a policy that has i won for him a boat of friends and supporters, not only in Indiana, but in other state* as well. A superior executive and business man, he has organized with extreme care, down to .the minutest detail every dv;>artment 1I i under his direction His school policy is a common-sense, sane, practical one. looking to the achievement of definite results, by an education whose products are independent In thought and action. To th!* end .Mr Great- - house lias emphasized the need and ,'■ place of industrial education in tie schools; the necessity for speaking aud writing the English language cor.'rectly and efficiently; the demand tor a reorganization of much of the high school work, especially in the small »r H tow ns and districts, that It may meet I the requirements ol Hie rather than simply tboao of coUage; and the importance of Improving rural schools and rural conditions that the large number of boys aud girls educat'd therein, may have opportunities In their own communities equal to of city boys and girl. Some of the best school laws on the statute I took a have I been enacted during bis mlminiatr.r

tion and under his influence. Mr. Greathouse is an intelligent, weli-ed.i-cated official, frank, sincere, honest, and earnest in his convictions on matters pertaining to the schools, which he does not hesitate to express freely and with decision. In his avowed intention and practice of not only-main-taining but advancing the high educational standards of the state, Mr. Greathouse has served faithfully and well the people of Indiana.-- The Edu-cator-Journal.
