McFarland For Councilmen-at-Large JACOB MARTIN L. L. BAUMGARTNER For Councilman, First Ward H. FRED LINN For Councilman, Second Ward JAMES HURST For Councilman, Third Ward PPETER KIRSCH The Herald calls tonight’s meeting a square deal convention and talk;: about a democratic ring, if that Isn’t unlimited nerve, what would you call it? The democrats selected their candidates at an open primary, tn which every member of the party was urged to vote. The call for candidates ! was left open unti: five days befoie the election. Compare these facts with the acknowledged bickering a id bartering and discussions that .have been going on in the republican ranks i for the past week or two. resulting in a postponement of the convention date and the watching of certain selfbera of the party by the self appointed detectives of the little bunch of politicians. Manipulations are possible in the convention hail, but the primary conducted under fair rules, as was the one at which Charles Christen and the other democratic cconomits were selected, cannot help but result in the choosing of the men desired by the majority. The trouble it that the republicans are having more inside trouble than usual, even here, where they Uaveaiways scrapped and the real reason M that the majority of them recognize the strength of th" democratic nominees.

‘ Imperial $3 Halo T'H Eease and grace I of the well dressed man is easily noticeable. It is the hat that adds the finishing touch There is an “IMPtkIAL” in style, texture and color to match your suit and personality and incidentally your purse s3’oo THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

It Is unnecessary for us to call attention to the moral strength of the men who have been nominated by the democrats for the various city offices. We believe that every voter in Decatur knows them and recognises their worth as business men, thoroughly capable and deserving, but that you may not fogget, we expect to mention ' them each day. Charles Christen, the 1 nominee for mayor, is especially fitted ior that place. He has earned it by serving seven years as chairman of ; the finance committee, in away. that I lias reduced the debt and applied the tax, high though It is, as the people wanted it applied. His moral character is unimpeachable. He is a man who does things, always shares with the other citizens in any movement and does it in a manner that proves him a progressive, live-wire citizen, the kind that will make the right kind of a mayor. Every man on the ticket is qualified, and by that we mean that Is cupable and has tho nerve to do toe thing he should do, whatever it may be. You will make no mistake by voting for them. The ndministra tion of affairs here during the past seven years has proven it. While it’s just a little hard to secure inside information on the doings of the progressive and republican caucuses, we are informed that the former at the meeting last evening, raised their opponents a stack of blue by postponing their convention until the , last minute of the last day on which they can under the law, select cand<I onU’s. ( Guess that ought to hold the g. b. p. tnd their square deal talk. Frei Sims, Chairman of the standpat republican state committee, asserts that the "progressives" are re -urning the.fold. Ed Lee. chairi man. ai the progressive state cotnmit--1 tee. declares that his branch of the party will never return to the old rej publican roost. From all indications I,ee seems to be surer of his grounds , than Sims. Get yourself in readiness to assist tn dedicating the old soldiers’ monumem. It is a beautiful piece of work and the ixcaslon is one in which patriotism should have free reign. It should be the one biggest day in all Adairs county history. FOR COMMISSIONER. You are authorized to announce that I will be a candidate for county com-

COURT HOUSE NEWS. In the case of Baldwin vs. Klem, a written motion by affidavit for judgment on the answers to interrogatories nothwithstanding the general verdict, was tiled. The Dr. Thain case is rapidly drawnig to a close, and it is thought the evidence will all be in by tonight. The state rested last evening, and this morning the defense took up its side of the case. At time of going to press Dr. Goheen of Fort Wayne was on the stand. It will be remembered that a similar ease against Goheen was dismissed, but for some reason the defense brought him up as a witness in this case. OF UNSOUND MIND.
