PSEUDO DEMOCRATS The Berne Witness has mailed us a copy of the mislaid editorial which we mentioned recently, with ouo paragraph marked for our especial attention and which we take it, is the one we were challened to copy. Here it is, wonderful and powerful argument, we give it for what it is worth: The democratic ticket, we fear, is not a real democratic ticket. It undoubtedly has some good men on its list, and in the past, the organization has undoubtedly served the county well in somerespects, but if the men who support this ticket were real, well wishing democrats, democrats ' like Woodrow Wilson, democrats 1 who stand for patriotism, service and the “square deal," they would be in sympathy with the aims of the citizens' ticket and would give ’ it Sheir supjort. Hence we fear i they are not real democrats, they t are Pseudo-democrats. I Now what do you honestly think of 1 such argument? Do you suppose that 1 Mr. Archbold would have favored the ’ "citizen's ticket it' he had been sue- ; cessful at the primary last December? 1 Do you imagine that Walter Thornhill would have refused the nominations I he has sought so frequently at the I democratic primaries? Do you think 1 for a minute that the party which has been good enough to honor several of the candidates on the new ticket as well as some of its supporters, for ' many years past has suddenly become ■ corrupt or do you think that the fact that these men failing to realize their further ambition for office decided to take this last flying leap in the independent ranks? Pseulo means false ; or counterfeit. Whict do you think is the "Pneudo Democrat,” the one who stays with his party after he has taken part in a primary or the one w.'.o holds office continuously for many [

''years and then when defeated is willing to wreck that party? Al Grahut.i 1 and Erastus Fritzinger know who the real pseuda democrats are and they 1 love to gather them in, with a. chuckle for each. October Sth is are day you must register if you want to vote in Novem- , ber If you can't be at home on that i day be sure to arrange for the tiling of your affidavit. If you have moved from one precinct to another since the September registration you must do it over again. Be sure to register. The first week of the state campaign in Indiana is most satisfactory to the democrats, according to State Chairman Korbly. From every section comes evidence that the democrats will make a better showing than two years ago when they carried the state by over a hundred thousand plurality. Wilson's administration is to be upheld here as it was in Maine. And they call this new movement whose name has been a source of much worry to its founders, a "Triple Alliance.” . T-r-r-r-i-iple Alliance, indeed. Think of it —Al Graham, Miltie Miller and Erastus Fritzinger. And they call the democratic organization “a gang.” All right, just go ahead. Rip and snort, and cave and pound the air, if you think there is no hereafter. The editor of the Decatur Herald in an editorial says the county ticket which he is so vigorously supporting is not “just exactly” a bull moose ticket. Let us see. We ask the Decatur Herald editor to answer whether he is supporting a republican county ticket? We ask him -whether he would support a bull moose ticket la any county in the state other than the Adams county bull moose ticket? We ask him if it Is not true that a portion of the former republican organization did not refuse to abandon the standpat ranks and indorse the bull moose county ticket? It is also common talk in Adams county tha what remains of the old line republicans will not follow the lead of the Decatur Herald for the bull moose ticket, but will support the democratic ticket. Os course the flop to the bull moose ticket to the Decatur Hcr- [ aid sounds the death knell of the standpat party as an organization in Adams county, but there are yet a number of republicans in that county I who are bitterly complaining of the desertion of their party organ.—Huntington Press.
