What support did these important (the tariff, currency, trust and other administration) measures receive from the Republican Party? It must be admitted that these measures are party platform measures; it they did not have real merit, they would have been opposed by the united opposition. What is the record? Seven Republicans (and Progressives) voted for the Underwood tariff bill Thirty-eight Republicans voted for the currency bill. Forty-seven Republicans voted for the anti-trust (Clayton) bill. Only 12 Republicans voted against the stock and bond bill. No Republisans voted against the trade commission bill. REPUBLICANS OUGHT TO STOP CRITICIZING THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINSTRATION' OR STOP VOTING FOR ITS MEASURES. These are some Republicans who profess to believe that there is a chance to return to power in the November election. I want to submit a few interrogatories to that class of Republicans who place the welfare of the country above party. Do you want to return the Republican party to power and reinstate Ca:tnonism? You know that will happe i if the Republicans elect the next

House. Do you want to repeal the Underwood tariff bill and substitute the Payne-Aldrich law? Do you want to repeal the new currency system and turn your fiscal affairs back to Wall street to manage for you again? Do you think the anti-trust legislation ought to be repealed and the Mor-gan-Rockefeller combination once more given a free hand? Are you disatisfied with the income tax law that saves you a hundred millions a year in your taxes? Do you believe that the United States Senators ought to be elected by the people? Are you anxious to repeal the parcel post law and go back to the ex-

press companies that robbed you tor years with excessive charges? Is the old soldier satisfied with the Sherwood pension law? Does he want to trust the Republican party to legislate for him that disappointed him for fourteen years? Does the Spanish-American soldier have any complaint of a Democratic Congress that provided a pension for his wife and minor children if he should be taken from his family? Is union labor willing to repudiate the party that protected it with leg’slation and return to power that party that turned a deaf ear to its appeal" If you are satisfied with thia progressive legislation, why should you take the chances of a change?—From a speech by Congressman Cyrus Cliaa, of Indiana, in the House of Representatives. Next Saturday is registration day. If you are eligible to vote in November you should protect that right by registering. Don't overlook this most important duty. If you believe in President Wilson you should support him by voting the democratic ticket this fall. It will aid him to have the support of the officials big and little. Register next Saturday If you want to qualify to vote at the November election. If you have the legal right to vote in November in your precinct, you have the right to register. Be sure to do it. Adams county is to have a fair this year. Such events help a county in various ways and you should be a booster for it. The attractions are numerous and good and the associatiorf is composed of men who do things and deserve your support. Chairman Hays of the republican state commitee has sent out th< ligands of cards which read: “The republican party eventually, why n>t now?” Many of these are being returned with a line written below, “Yes, why not now?” The question was answered two years ago, but Mr. Hays wants to know again. After November 3rd, the answer will be easy - “Because they didn't get enough votes.” It’s hard to find a man nowadajs who does not appreciate the splendid qualities of President Wilson. He U spoken of on every hand as the right man in the right place and at the rignt time. He deserves your further support by voting for John Adair at the next election. The Eighth district congressman has made a great record and has time and again proven that he is for the best interests of his district. He is deserving of your support. Chairman Korbly and National Committeeman Taggart have gone to

Washington to make an effort to secure speakers for the campaign In this state. The fact that congress will remain tn session Indefinitely on account of the foreign war, makes it hard to obtain speakers and the managers of the Indiana campaign want to know just what they may expect. A big effort to obtain both Preaident Wilson and Vice President Marshall for a few speeches Ln the state will be made. The democratic central committee, I together with many of the precinct workers from over the county held a meeting here today to discuss the campaign plans and to arrange for getting out the voters on registration day. It was a splendid meeting and the campaign will be the usual lively one so far as the democrats are concerned. Every man is up on his toes and the work will proceed in a moat • energetic manner, the campaign proper opening the latter part of tlvs month and continuing until election day. AUSTRIAN ARMY WINS VICTORY (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) for tomorrow. There was a great , crush at all railroad stations. St. Petersburg, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to • Daily Democrat) —The war office today declared that the Russian advance continued although it admitted that the entire Austrian army opposi- . tion was massed in Galacia. The severe fighting continues and the war 1 office insisted that the Austrian line 1 was giving way. The Russians are ’ now within a days march of Lemburg. - The official statement says: “The Ger- . man defense is stiffening and we are sustaining severe losses but the Germans are losing far more than we are and despite the arrival of fresh troops 1 for their line, the enemy are unabie - to withstand our assault. In Galacia our army is victoi\cus and the Austrians, who managec to invade Rus1 sian Poland in an attacking flank op- ■ eration have been repulsed. The Russian cavalry are covering themselves j with glory. In the Austrian retreat it surrounded an entire regiment and ' forced it to surrender. Paris, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to Daily 1 i Democrat) —While . practically no details are being made public regarding the genera] battle all along the great 4 line, a long official statement has been

d issued by the French war office in re--3 view of the operations along the t French border and in Belgium. It Is t admitted that in the Vosges region and Lorraine, the allied forces met >_ with severe re versa, but at the present e time hav dividd their army into two t sections and are now resuming the j offensive and seem to be making progt ress, slowly but steadily. In the region of the Meuse, the French troops ’’ are on the offensive and have been >• able to check th Cfrman troops’ advanc movement headed by the Crown Prince. Near Neuchateau, however, the French troops received a check and were forced to retire toward the o main branch on the Meuse, as were also the forces operating in the neighborhood of Spincourt. A general action is now taking place between the Meuse and Rethei. In the north the French and English troops have met with several reversals and the German attack near the region of the Meuse has compelled the allied troops to retire. The Germans in an endeavor to move west, forced the English to attack them with greatly inferior numbers and were forced to withdraw toward the south. The progress of the German right wing has caused the allies to make a new retirement. Paris, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Another attack by a German biplane was made yesterday afternoon when a night was made over this city. Only one projectile was dropped, however, and this failed to explode. It is thought that the German airmen are endeavoring to intimidate, the capital which they know is very impressionable. Hundreds of people endeavoring to leave the city and last night a:l lights along the boulevards were extinguished as a precaution against raiding aeroplanes. New York, Sept. I—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —In a short review of the European situation, Count von Bernstoff, German ambassador to the ■United States, claims that the French and English have already been defeated on land and have only volunteers and recruits left to face the highly trained and efficient German soldiers. t For this reason, the count states, it is

impossible for Germany to be defeated and permits the government to remove from the eastern frontier a large number of soldiers to meet the advancing Russian host. He also stated that the winning of the war on land was the all-important thing. Berlin, Sept. I—(Speciall—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The situation in the Aus-tro-Russlan war zone, decisive battles have been going on for three days. The Austrian troops after being vistorious, pursued the Russians in the direction of Lublin, also advancing into the enemy’s territory and taking position In front of Zamoso. Other Austrian forces have entrenched and are holding their positions to the northeast and southwest of Leinburg after having crossed the Dinester and encountering large forces of the enemy. Tsing Tau, Sept. I—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—After going ashore last night during a neavy fog. a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer w-as put out of commission by a German cruiser, which steamed out of the harbor, placed eight shots in the stranged warship and returned unmolested by the other Japanese vessels that are blockading the port. The crew has abandoned the destroyer and she is breakinug up on the rocks. London, Sept. I—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Reuter Telegram company has made public a telegram received from Antwerp announcing that Genera Pau has won a brilliant victory over 50,000 Germans In the vicinity of Peronne. General Pau also ! won a victory over the German forces some time ago at Muelhausen, where he dealt a hard blow to the kaiser's , forces In France. Outside of this information, however, little news of an encouraging nature has been received. The Germans are steadily advancing toward Paris and official announcements have been made that preparations are now under way for the removal of the French capital to Bordeaux. o CANE MILL TO OPERATE, i ~~~ , R.
