Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. Governor Ralstons speech to the ed: tors at Evansville a few evenings ago was a sound and convincing argument that cannot be met by the republican press. Watch them try it. Billy Blodgett did not get very for with his story that Donn M Roberts was to announce himself as a candidate for governor. Just a little persscnal affair between those two m<-n and Billy could'nt resist the oppoetunity to embarress the TerreHaule mayor. Bob Tucker, special correspondent of the Inquirer predicts* that Indiana will be carried by the democrats this year by a majority of from 55.0U9 to 1 100.0011. Others place the estimate at ' a much higher figure, but every body i cuiicq&s that the victory will go t<>: the democrats. Tlie reception given the democratic editors at Evansville last week a hospitable to a degree that defies com i petition. The heat was rather excessive but it failed to prevent the editors and those of the party from enjoy ing the many forms of entertainment provided for them. Merrill Moores has been nominated as the republican nominee for con gress in the seventh district which in dudes the city of Indianapolis Mr. Hlbben, the progressive nominee is out with a statement that Moores is a part of the old Watson-Hemeway machine and will fight him to the last ditch. The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, should at least have learned the trn'.h before it made an attack upon sevetal Decatur business institutions in its re port of a strike here. The story as printed in last Sundays paper wa* exaggerated, untruthful in at least sov oral of the statements and very mu it unwarranted. We fail to see how it will help the cause they espouse in any way. The demotratic state committer have secured the services of Betty Blythe, one of the most talented newspaper feature writers of the state t< prepare special stories from this tine on until tlie close of the campaign Her articles will Im* along the lim. of the "whose who and why” stories of the magazines and will be an on tirely new form of political writing •»> this state.
