Entered at the poetoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as sceond cbua saaiL la a public speech Sunday Secretary Bryan denounced seekers for war as mercenaries who are looking only for profits or opportunities to raid the public treasury. Mr. Bryan did not mince words in denouncing newspapers that run big headlines on the California alien-land law recently passed by the legislature of that state, in an endeavor to carry the impression that this country is about to be involved in a war with Japan. Mr. Bryan says the reading public will, in due course of time, learn to discriminate between the truthful and the untruthful newspaper and that in that way the sensational sheets can be cured of their unreliability. He says there is no occasion for any alarm or big head lines,, as the tendency of the times is away from war, and countries are relying on different methods to settle problems between them. War is about the most inhuman thing the mind of man can conceive, and the hope lives, or should live, in every human breast that the day may speedily come when it will be known no more among covdized nations. — Columbia City Post

Through a torrid compaign John Holtzman has posed as the opponent of the bosses, declaring that Joseph E. Bell was Thomas Taggart’s candidate and the friend and ally of "Boss” Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute and the brewery interests. Back of Bell, however, was the compact democratic city and state organizations and the result was in doubt

John J. Keegan, state representative, famous for his fights for labor legislation, and Thomas S. Meeker were other candidates for the democratic mayoralty nomination and each claimed to have a large following. Three candidates have made a spirited fight for the bull moose nomination for mayor, W. K. Steward, Dr. W. H. Johnson and W. D. Hedrick. The result was in doubt, but the chances of Dr. Johnson, a former councilman, appeared to be the brightest. Former Mayor Charles A. Bookwaiter seemed to be certain of getting the republican nomination. He made his race on his previous record as mayor and practically had no opposition with his own party.

Terre Haute, May 21 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—This city's well known brand of politics was uncorked today at the hearing before Judge Cox of the superior court of a restraining order issued last week against fiftythree election inspectors selected by the city council for next Friday’s primaries.

Chairman Manford Collins of the regular or John Lamb committee, alleg-' ed that unless the court mandated the inspectors there would be illegal judges which would result in “riot and anarchy.” Collins alleged there was a conspiracy to ignore the judges and clerks he recommended as chairman of the committee casting the highest vote last fall. s

Don’t Wait for the ° Wood to Show Before You Paint! Postponing painting is like putting off payment of taxes. You are only piling up expense. The wise man paints often, so that there is always a protecting film of paint between his house and the elements. The more durable the paint, the less often this must be done. The most durable paint in the world is Phoenix White Lead Dutch goy Trade-Mark) and Pure Linseed Oil when mixed to suit the conditions of the wood. AU good pointers do it this way.
