|m for receiving blds for groceries, supplies and even "tobacco” for inmates lit the county infirmary. Yes, and the Herald should have told its readers f lat the notice was also published in * io Herald, for under Section 5933 of punts, 1908, the board of commission|rs must print this notice in two newspapers, and in accordance with tlie express provisions of the law the board pf commissioners caused the notice to published in tlie Democrat and Jierald, and thereby hangs a tale. The J'erald during this campaign is posJig as an apostle of all that is right j nd just, and yet if any taxpayer cares take the time to go to the auditor’s |t'Hee and examine the files, he will find | hat THE HERALD FILED A BILL [AND SWORE THE SAME WAS JUST FOR THE SUM OF *2.15 for printing lhe notice of receiving bids for supplies at the county infirmary, while [THE BILL OF THE DEMOCRAT FOR [THE SAME NOTICE WITH THE FAME NUMBER OF WORDS, AND [THE BILL BEING FILED AT THE SAME TIME WAS FOR *1.60. If jl le Herald would make a little misake of fifty-five cents on an item of 11.60, where, oh, where will the poor ‘ axpayer be when the Herald "comes nto her own?” By the way, why do not some of he brilliant spokesmen for the republeans tell the people about that FIFTEEN MILLION advance call made by I Jie republican party while in absolute ontrol of the state? And what cxlanation have they to offer concernng that stack of unpaid bills that tlie republican auditor of state left neatly stacked up on his desk when he retired from office? These are vital facts of republican misrule that the people would like to hear about from some of the republican spell binders. Can Jim Watson or C. W. Fairbanks explain? : The Herald announced last evening in considerably more space than they gave to Mr. Fairbanks the fact that j he Hon. Herbert P. Bigelow of Ohio V ould deliver addresses in this coun- ' y Tin the Sth, 9th and 10th in the in-

CAMPAIGN WILL BE PUSHED

Arrangements are being carried forI ward rapidly at the headquarters of t'.ie democratic state committee for the campaign that is to be made in October. There are but five weeks remaining in which to do the vast amount of work that lies before the party organization. The reports that Chairman Korbly have received indicate that the democratic workers throughout the state are taking a great deal of interest in the campaign and that the organization is going forward in good shape. A great deal of labor has been done to prepare for the registration of the voters on October sth. This is the last registration at which the voters will have a chance to qualify for the election and not only Chairman Korbly of the democratic committee but Chairman Hays of the republican committee and Chairman Toner of the progressive committee are doing all they | can to arouse interest among voters and induce them to register. Two years ago it was said that near-j y 75,000 voters in Indiana either failed or refused to register, which. amounted to the same thing as far as they were concerned. Mr. Korbly considers that the small vote in 1912 was due very largely to the registration, so he has been making an ex-1 treme effort this year to get all demo-' crats to register on the Octobar period. | Within the next few days the democratic state committee will have many I speakers in the field. Probably one | hundred meetings have been held in ; the last week and reports received indi- ■ cate that they were above the averag i in attendance and interest. Undoubt-1 C/J 1 edly the European war has made it > difficult to interest many people in i politics but as the date for election ap- ] proachs it is apparent that the people j are taking more interest and that the 1 democrats are gaing to be in very | good shape for the general election in i November. i Chairman Korbly has received definite assurance that some of thestrongst speakers in the party are coming i o Indiana to help out during October. ■ iW. B. Wilson, secretary of the depart-j 'Kent of labor, is to make several i I peeches in Indiana during the early part of October. Wm. J. Bryan is ex- ■ pected to devote at least three days to | tie campaign in Indiana and other p eminent men are coming before the,:

,1 >rests of the citizens’ party of this county. Now, we haven’t any inside j information but this announcement, which was expected to throw a big Fare in the democratic ranks, fails to have that ’effect for from some cause or other, it is well known that Mr. Bigelow has been touring this state in Ihe interests of the new consitution and it is a peculiar fact that he is being sent here under the auspices of any party for we had an idea that the men back of that movement were sincere and were eager for the votes of rny man, no difference what his party. Jdr. Bigelow will not do the new con- | titution any good in Adams county j he speaks under the auspices of the ndependents. We are rather inclined

jb believe that he was tricked some way by the foxy boys who are men-

ging the aid society for the moosers. (Well, let's hear what he has to say, ut if he tries to help both the citizens’ Barty and the new constitution, he will robably stub his toe. /kxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxmxsxxx: I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

If love Is not worth loving, then life is not worth living, Nor aught is worth remembering but well forgot. For store is not worth storing And gifts are not worth giving if love is not.” On last Friday evening, September 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith, two miles south of Monroe, oc- | urred a most enjoyable surprise party for their son, Alva, in honor of his twenty-first anniversary.

J tter part of the month. • | Governor Ralston is to devote prac- • , tically all of his time to the campaign after October 3rd, and his itinerary is now being arranged. Several of tle nominees on the state ticket have :, rranged to tour the entire state together. They have visited four or five districts and the reports they have nade to Chairman Korbly are very 1 1 optimistic, indicating the democrats ere in much better shae than either 1 le republicans or the progressives. I The nominees on the democratic ticket are confident that the democrati: vote will be larger than it was in 1912 and they are in doubt as to the illative strength of the republican | nd progressive parties. Some of them fiem to think that Beveridge will re- < live more votes than Miller, but most <t the democratic nominees say it is 1» early to make any predictions as | o the votes that Beveridge and Miller will receive. Beveridge, according to, 1 le information received by the demo- | ratic leaders is having fair-sized rieetings, not as large, however, as I hose of 1912. The information receivd by the democrats regarding republican meetings are that they are not as large or enthusiastic as those Beverilge is addressing. I Republicans have called upon former Vice President Fairbanks for as- | istance and he will make a number of speeches early in October. The I epublican organization has obtained I he services of Senator Burton of Ohio and Senator Borah of Idaho and they ■will devote a week to the campaign in Jidiana about the middle of October. | It is now expected that Congress r will adjourn by the middle of October po that Senator Shively and Senator Kern, Vice President Marshall and the yiembers of congress can return home | to take part in the, campaign. | | The progress of the campaign up to this time is very satisfactory to, Chairman Korbly and others engaged in helping the democratic organization , out the votes. The belief was ex-1 pressed by democratic leaders that the voters are pleased with the Wilson I dministration and with the Ralston administration and that the democratlie vote in November tvill be a surprise not only to the republicans and | rogressives but to the democrats who had doubts whether there would be a 1 full vote cast this year.
