Their chief reason for arguing that people should not vote the democratic ticket was that the Indiana democrats were out of sympathy with the Wilson administration. When Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan told the people of Indiana that they are in thorough accord with the Indiana democratic organization and appealed to the voters to support every man on ‘every ticket nominated by democrats in the state of Indiana, that argument was all gone. No more fake telegrams from Washington can be used to fool the people. Otherwise their platforms are all negations and statements such as “we disapprove of the Wilson administration” in this, that and the other thing, but "with a painful lack of specification” and offering nothing constructive. It's a queer thing that people who have records of their own can usually talk about the other fellow with tho JUST IN -another shipment of Imperial headliners that will appeal to the classy dressers of Decatur, -all the popular colors, Blues-Greys-Lava Black-Brown and Mahogany. $3.00 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

1 greatest ease and apparently get so , much comfort out of it. Governor Ralston, Hon. Thomas 1 Taggart, national commiieeman from Indiana, State Auditor O'Brien and others will be here next Friday afternoon ; to address the voters of Adams couu ty. Come in and hear them. i l Editor Davison confesses to having i "eaten three democratic editors alive” * during his career in the journalislis 1 field. It is not to be wondered at then i that the gentleman has a very sour stomach and that he took kindly to , the bull moose party in local politics. If the people of Adams county believe the stories being circulated about Charles Yager, former county treasurer, who holds a receipt showing he was ahead instead of short, we will know that they will believe anything. Ask the person who makes the statement to make oath to It and see how soon he backs up. Mr. Crawford, a bull mooser, spok“ to a small crowd in front of the court house last night. Al Graham is trying hard to put one over this year and there are those who think the republicans will realize he has done it before long. He was behind that endorsement of the seventeen. Graham Walters also have a county ticket. See? For many years the people of Adams county have heard of Tom T.ggart, the most talked of politician in Indiana, but many of them have never had the oportunity to see or hear him talk on the political issues of the hour. They will have the chance this year when this democratic leader comes to Decatur on next Friday afternoon. Come in and see him. One must be very careful in iiis statements this campaign it would seem or he will be "called." The editor of the Herald insists that he has been here two weeks instead of one. as we are said to have represented. The exact time we should think doesn’t make any great difference, but it woud appear to most thinking people that one who advises a community how they ought to vote should at least be a voter in that place. You have heard of Thomas Taggart, leading democratic, politician of Indiana for a good many years. Did you ever see him or hear him speak? Do

.... .. — lll——— Republican Misrepresentations. — The Republican papers throughout the State,--at the request of the Republican State Committee, published the following: "DEMOCRATIC ‘ECONOMY* IN INDIANA.” The cost a year of the State government under four administrations —two republican and two democratic—follows: Administration. Cost Per Year. Durbin, repub1ican12,389,709.41 Hanly, republican 2,805,163.29 Marshall, democrat 3,673,812.03 Ralston, democrat (one year)..— 4,433,879.70 THE FACTS. The actual cost a year of the State government under four administrations—two republican and two democratic—follows: Administration. Cost Per Year. Durbin, republican ..._—....53,725,856.84 Hanly, republican 4,724,253.39 Marshall, democrat 4,625,005.63 Ralston, democrat 4,528,295.15 The last figures are taken from the records in the Auditor of State's Office, and can be verified. Why do the republicans misrepresent the facts to you so much? Because they want to get back to their pie counter. WHO’S WHO WITH THE CANDIDATES e Berne has a candidate on the county ticket. Aar- n C. Augsburger, a jeweler of that place, being the . democratic nominee for recorder. This man, no . 1 well known in every township, was born in French ■ township, January 3, 1867, and was reared and ed>:- ■ cated in tiiat splendid Adams county center of good ■ farms and good farmers. Nineteen years ago he F went to 3erne, where he has since been I s engaged in business, conducting a jewelry store. , / He has always been a fighting democrat, a man of Aa C Augsburger good attainments, a steady going and careful business man who counts his friends in large numbers. He has served three years as truant officer, that being the. only position he ever held in the county, and it might therefore be just a little difficult to connect him with any ring or "gang.” In the primary last December he made a clean campaign and won over his two opponents by a considerable margin. He has seen many of the voters of the county during this campaign and if he has not seen you personally he wants' you to know that he will appreciate your vote and will try his very best to show you that he does by giving good service in office. Vote for Aa. C. Augsburg‘-r for county recorder. i — —'• 11 ■ ——■■ . - ' . —

i you think he has horns, or will biter you? It you do, we want you to cornel to Decatur next Friday afternoon and i attend the democratic meeting. Mr i Taggart is making the first tour of the ■ state he has ever made for political purposes and he is not making it for himself, but for the old party he loves and has worked for so many years. We are anxiously awaiting a sworn statement from W. J Archbold that 1 will substantiate any of the statements 1 he has given out. It would also be good news to know just what he in- ' tends doing In the future that he has ■ not done in the past year to save the taxes of the people. Perhaps l.e might be able to do It with the aid of Sammy Nussbaum, Walter Thornhill. Lee Walters and others of these statesmen who have records of their 1 own. but the people want to know why ■ they never made any particular effort when they had the chance to save money for the taxpayers and citizens. The new editor of t|ie Herald writes ' a laborious editorial in which he seems to be trying to say something abou' ■ our use of the phrase "unmitigated 1 nerve.” insisting that no such word appears in the dictionary. Os course ' he doesn’t mean “nerve” and so must refer to the word “unmitigated.” but we fail to catch the point. Surely the word has been used in Ohio and other backward states. At any rate if the gentleman will borrow one of those dictionaries he talks about he will have no trouble in finding it and ascertaining the meaning. The Berne Witness puts up another half-column howl that Judge Smith purposely prevented the citizens from ' using the court room on Saturday afternoon for a political meeting and puts it up to us to prove the statement that this was not the first time that court had been held on Saturday afternoon. Perhaps it might be well tor the Witness to do a little investigating of their own before they accuse people. They seem to think that all they have to do is to make a charge and then put the burden of disproving it on some one else. In this case we are sure that you can find ' out that court is often held on Saturday afternoon by inquiring though we know of no record in the treasur.r’s office that will, show it. Mrs. William A. Wetter left today for Wren, Ohio, to visit over Sunday with W. H. Stolts and family.

Miss Gilpin formerly resided here and has many relatives and friends in Adams rtmnty. The Zion Lutheran Ladies' Aid society held an all-day meeting in the school house yesterday, where they busied themselves with their sewing.

Dallas Hunsicker and Ferd Peoples. “There was a sound of revelry by night.” at the luxurious and hospitable home of Walter Krick, when the juniors gathered last evening for their first class party. There was truly “no sleep till morn,” for “youth and pleasure” met to such good purpose that both time and care were forgotten. Evening passed into night and night reached the keystone hour before even the faculty bethought themselves of test papers that must be graded next day. The fun began with the arrival of the first juniors and increased as the bunch grew, and was finally made complete by the arrival of Principal Worthman and Superintendent Spaulding. The good old games of “Flying Dutchman.” “Poor Pussy,” and "Wink ’Em" were played. These caused such uproarious laughter from the faculty to say nothing of the juniors, as to prove the adage that “A little nonsense now and then. Is relished by the wisest men.” After the games Francis Stephenson announced a short program, consisting of speeches by. Alex Sutton, the class president, and Superintendent Spaulding: readings by Celia Hoffman and Don Teeple: and songs by Miss Batchelor and Hope Hoffman. Then came the best part of the party, the “eats.” There were sandwiches, pick les, coffee, and brick ice cream, and cake in red and white, the class colors. Each person was given the daintiest little favor imaginable in imitation of a red rose, the class flower. At this time Chalmer Porter received his surprise of the evening by being suddenly called upon to act as toast master. With his usual ability and due modesty he returned the surprise by calling on the members of the facfuty, from superintendent down, for toasts to the class of 'l6. These were timidly but joyously- given, with the prevailing sentiment that the class have frequent parties to which the faculty be invited. Before good nights were said nine rahs and a ti ger were given to Mr. and Mrs. Krick in appreciation of thdir kindness. The evening was a good after-dinner i mint, following a six weeks' intellectual feast for > took away even the rather bitter taste of tests. “And this is the way we have at D H. S. to drive dull care away.”—Contributed Another of the many pre-nuptial social affairs given for Miss Effie Miller, whose • wedding to Charles Brodbeck will be next Tuesday, was the miscellaneous shower last evening at the O. L. Vai.ce home, given by her cousins. Mrs. Vance. Mrs. Fred Heuer and Miss Adella Sellemeyer. Because j Halowe’en is so near, the decoration ; were Hallowe’en features.
