Central committee of Adams county are heresy notified to meet at the democratic headquarters in the city of Decatur. Indiana, at 10 o’clock, a. m., on Saturday, February 14, 1914, at which time, persuant to a call from the state central committee delegates will be selected to the democratic state convention to be held at Indian-1 a polls March 19, and to the congressional convention to be held at Bluffton March 23. Other business will also be attended to. Under the apportionment Adams county is entitled to nineteen delegates and nineteen alternates for each convention. All dem-1 ocrats and all who wish to cooperate with the party are invited to attend the meeting. J. W. BOSSE, Chairman. PARTY PROSPECTS Speaking of the probabilities of timalgamation between the progres . gives and the republicans the Foit Wayne Sentinel says: -We are hearing little from Mr. llosevelt. Mr. Munsey, Mr. Perkins these days, but we do not believe they ' are the type of men who, having h movement tii.it ui !iic such pretentious size in so brief a ’ time can be reasonably expected to’ Jt is much too early as yet to begin ’ arranging t..«• funeral obsequies of the come about that the third party i movement fizzle out during the present year, it is by no means certain that Ute republicans will reap the sole benefit of the dissolution. Democracy has responded as never be ! fore to the popular will in the pro-1 gresaive method of dealing with pub-; of the new* movement which that no small percentage of the mill-1 tant progressives will turn to dentoc-1 racy under Woodrow Wilson as the exponent of th< faith which cans, J, them to ttevev old political ties with ' the republican organ nation" Bob Tucker, the Indianapolis cor-

I ' respondent of the Cincinnati Eu- - qulrer, predicts that the Indiana democrats will have another walk - away in the campaign of 1914 in r this state. Bob's forecast corroborates about what dvery big and little democrat in the state has been think j ing of the outlook.—-Columbia City I Post. i in its search for some one to attack, * the Herald takes a jab at Henry H. ( Heller, who has served ten days as ■ i county attorney and who is also the ‘ secretary of the democratic county , I committee. Terrible accusation. We , | have known Henry a good while, rath- ' er intimately and feel that he needs no defense. About the only criticism we have heard of him is that he has i a brother who loafs around the Daily Democrat office occasionally. Os , course thats enough for one family to bear, but Henry can't help it. _ In another wild and dispeirmg shriek the Herald says it is'nt fair to talk about the recent meeting of i the twenty-four republicans to name delegates to the recent district con--1 vention and we admit that it takes a lot of nerve to kick a party that is down on its luck as hard as the g. o. p. We don't believe the man who edits the political column of the Her aid attended the convention or meet ing of the committee or what ever you care to call it. Either he didn’t know the truth or he wants to mis lead. If delegates were elected to . that meeting the list was never pub I lished and anyway they did 'nt get to the meeting. At the time they I selected the delegates there were ' twenty-four people in the room and two or three of these did the selectj ing. Conventions were called last Saturday evening to select committee men but in many precincts there were no meetings and fourteen precincts had no representation when the meet iug was called to order Monday morning. Yet they have the nerve to say that this was a case where the people ruled. It is impossible to secure a convention of hundreds to select del- ■ gates to a convention and often it is ! hard to secure delegation as large a.- ' a county is entitled to. to attend con ven.2 m. The Herald realizing this would like to make it appear that when the democrats select delegates they are named by a "ring" than which no statement could be farther from the truth. For years the delegates have l»--en selected by the eou>1 mitteemen who meet in mass convention. The public is always invi i ted to attend these meetings and each township is asked to furnish the i name of the delegate. There are no tiarrtsl doors, no "handling." nothing i but straight and honest effort to meet the will of the people. If you wish to be convinced of this come up next Saturday. Everybody invited.
