It's not long any more- . three weeks from today—but it's a ] : ate bet that there will be enough candidates to make it interesting. The suggestion by a citizen that] sanitary drinking fountains be estab-; liahed on the down town corners is I a progressive idea that deserves sup]Hjrt. If the city council prefers not. to invest their money, the various so-: cieties can do this which means convenience tor many. Tommy Durkin la the new city chairman and he will make things hum. lie is built of the right kind of stuff to lead a democratic army to victory and lie will do it. backed by a, rplendid committee of veterans at the , game It will be a fair and o|>en tight in which the democrats will stand on. the record of the past eight years.

All aim'iidmei'.t* to lhe tariff bill j have been agreed to and the new law will be passed today after a long an J f tedious tight Now for a currency law that will bring relief to the gen f-ral public and the western banker' and then for an era of prosjierity, tin equaled in history. Thougli the contest in the Main' third district election was supposed to be between lhe bull nioost rs and the democrat* it turned out to be a tig! 11 and a rial one, between the rcpubli | < ans and the denim rat*, the former winning by a small plurality.

have demanded that Huerta eliminate j himself as candidate for president, as I the constitution forbids the candidacy I if a provisional president And yet I all that Huerta has to do to qualify himself under the constitution is to resign the provisional presidency prior to the election! This was precisely the contingency that the administration had in mind, (.ambon point od to the constitution as forbidding the candidacy of Huerta, but this was not enough. Very properly, therefore the administration Insisted on assurance* that he would take himself out oi the way. We wonder whether our Indiana Sir Galahad has ever tend tlie Mexican constitution. Even if he has he ought to realize that there is more than one way of getting around it. Our triend is never more amusing than when he solemnly assumes the role of statesman. — Indianapolis News. TO TAKE ENGINEERING. Clyde Dicer, who began his high school course in Decatur, with th, class of 1913, and who was graduated from the Hammond high school tills year, will enter the University ol 1 Cincinnati, a college of engineering lor the tive-year course in electrical engineering. Not many would rccog ' nite him with his commanding 8 feet and I’4-inch heighth, but he is still the same lad who began the high school course in Decatur with the class in 1909. He leaves a good I*>sition, working for Uncle Sara in Hammond and has had several other good remunerative positions offered him. but has planned to take a college course and feels he cannot let any thing deter.
