Something happened today in Indi-, ana that has not occurred in the memory of the oldest pioneer Hoosier, a democratic governor succeeded a democratic governor. The battle of fifty years seems to be materializing. Every acre of sugar beets raised wtuiin ten miles of i»ecatur means more business for the merchant, high- , er value for the farm lands, and an aid to each person of this community. i The booster is a valuable ".seistant to ,

He has always been on the side of the people and he will aid the democrats this year to give more than ’bey promised. The Daily Democrat was ten years old Sunday, starting January 12, 1913. We start on our eleventh year with the determination to give our readers a better paper than they ever had. to cover the field and to fight for those things of the greatest good to the greatest number.

Stoll 1 of South Bqpd was delegated to carry the message to Washington. Mr. Willson believes that thirteen is his lucky ■ number and he should be pleased with |the fact that Indiana voted for him on the 13th, By a provision of law, i Governor Marshall called the electors 'to order today and heard them vote ■ for him to become vice president of the United «State*.
