One of the banners carried in the parade at Kerne last night read: j "Let's make it unanimous,'* and we noticed in the line a number of life- , long republicans who seem to agree with that sign.

sage will be read at the big meeting to be hold. Governor Wilson is a man who speaks to his fellow countrymen in words that are plain and understandable. And he says things. No one need doubt where he stands on any big question, in every position he has held, he has made good. He has his own ideas and they are good ones, lie is sane and progressive and democratic and the people will love him as they have the greatest men of the nation. There were those who predicted at the beginning of the present campaign that Governor Wilson would suffer a serious handicap from bis lack of 'experience In politics; that he was academic, visionary and impractical, tine rarely hears criticism of this character nowadays. The democratic nominee has remonstrated not only a clear grasp of public questions, but a realization of what ought to be done and an honest purpose to do them. The fact of the matter is that the j>eople are strongly of the opinion that it will be well to turn the governmental reins over to a driver who has not been entangled in any way in the creation of conditions which all admit deI mand correction. Woodrow \\ ilson !is dearly the man for the job.—Fort i Wayne Sentinel. The standpat republicans in this 1 country ,or at least some of them, ' have come to the conclusion that they will not men on the county ticket who are lending aid and comfort to the third party. They assert that the old party is too dear * to them to justify them in helping any man who favors the movement *o break it up or who is in favor of breaking it up. Several of the local candidates have been asked to define their positions in the last week.
