TELLING THE TRUTH:— The crowd, however, was probably the smallest democratic gathering ever held in the city when such an array of talent had been advertised to speak. Very few farmers came into the city and fewer still were at the meeting.—Evening Herald. Now. what do you think of that for a paper that for months has song “tell nothing but the truth?” Every man, woman and child packed in the court rjom yesterday knows that it would have been almost impossible to have crowded another person Ijn Farmers were there, many of them, i and men from every other walk of life. Instead of being the ‘fizzle” the Herald would have ycu believe it was, it was a great success, most pleasing to those in charge and as compared with all other meetings for foreign speakers in this county this year it outclassed them all several times over. The “citizens” brought here Mr. Bigelow (the man who has since declared for the “wets” in the Ohio, campaign), and he had only, a few at Geneva and Berne and the meeting here was called off because there was no audience. Former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks spoke to only a few. Hugh Th .Miller had small audiences, Mr. Beveridge had fair-sized crowds, but his crowd here did not compare with yesterday's showing; Albert Vestal had a corporal's guard, etc., and so we feel that the big i crowd yesterday was deserving of :• I better report even from such a partiMannish Style AH Wool Clothes for Boys -—in nifty norfolk styles and patch pocket effect-—-all the latest I shades and fabrics. ; $2.25 to $8.50 -i - — f 1 I THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

As to ! making a big effort you know tint | this was not done. Three hundred bills were posted and the event was advertised in this paper a few days. The democrats do not pack the’r meetings. L. Bets are being offered three to one that Miltie won’t have that little smile on November 4th. HEAR HON. GUY COLERICjd AND CONGRESSMAN ADAIR AT THE COURT ROOM WEDNESDAY] NIGHT. Weil. P. L didn’t count them. V.’e presumed he would or we would have employed a dozen or two men aad had this done. The governor was scarcely able to speak above a whisper and only talk-1 ed a few minutes, but he made himself clear during that time. You should hear the local issues j discussed by John C. Moran at tne | court house Monday night. Mr. Me- j ran argues every question of interest I and you should hear him yourself. ] And Sam Nussbaum hasn't given! us any figures which show that r.e ] did his work for the same cost to Lis ! township as did his predecessors.

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

who has had much experience, ie hcnest and straight, and wants to pleas?. What more could you ask in the way of ’juaUilea.ion? Mr. Reppcrt is a native of this county, where he was born, reared and educated, and ha - ( spent his life. He knows the people and their requirements. He is one ( of you and for you all the time and is most deserving of your unquah- i fled support. He has built roads as a contractor and knows what they 1 need, he is a ypod farmer and a business man. Vote for William Rvppe. . and you will be all right. ' *

TO SAY ABOUT THE CHARGES’ MADE BY HIS OPPONENTS. , Walter Thornhill Is explaining what I he will do when he gets to the legislature. He is perfectly safe in this , He can promise anything he wants to most, for you know he is not go- ■ | ing this year. Tom Taggart was only a man after all. He didn’t .attempt to corrupt any one. He made a clear and plain talk on the politics of the state and the present administration and declares that there is no position or ot- ' flee to which he is aspiring. The ovai tion given him here proved that h» | lias many admirers notwithstanding i the unwarranted attacks made upon him by the Berne Witness. i Tiie republicans are advertising I three or four meetings in this county I for next week and we presume the i streets of Berne. Geneva and Decatur ! will be so rcowded that It will be impossible to get through. At that P. L. will describe them as “Enthusiastic I events portending victory.” The republicans of St. Mary's and j Kirkland townships are still undecidjed as to what course they can best I pursue to have a chance at the tow i ship elections, due to the carelessness lof Chairman Fritzinger and his attorney, Mr. Walters. They feel that j they have been practically disfran- ! chised and if you don’t think they are ' mad about it, ask some of those interested. i The Herald says the men and offiI cial who are making the various j charges about the democrats will j most certainly not make oath to I whether or not they are right. Weil, , this is the first time we have ever ’ heard of any person or party being , tried without specific charges, attested or sworn to. We did not know ; that one could be tried upon the mere I statement of office seekers and v. e ■ ' had an idea that before any proof ’ was necessary the party making th" j charges had to make their proof. You ; have not even madu specific charge I you have it is true, circulated a 1>

The last name to appear on the list ■ of candidates and the last on the tick-' et is William Reppert, candidate for county commissioner from the second district, whose name appears twice on the bailot, he being the candidate for both the long and the short term i Though his name appears last on the , ticket he ran first in the primarv I , election a year ago. being chosen by i over two thousand majority. Shortly afterward he was appointed to sui - ' < seed Jim A. Hendricks, filling out the ( term until election, and he has served seven or eight montlis in his official < position. He has given his very best ' effort to please those who have bu i- ‘ neas with his office and we feel that . he has done so. He is a wide-awake ( ant. live farmer and business man, 1

i‘ of stories which you cannot substantiate, neither have you tried to do so. Further than that, you even retuse absolutely to use the official seal of the official who gives out the statements. You know why. Because the statements are misleading and pun fakes so far as being what you claim they are. There is nothing to disprove or deny until you make a spe clfie statement under oath. When y i, do that it can easily be disprove!!, if it even resembles the statements an 1 figures you have circulated. OSTEOPATHY FOR THE SEDENTARY WORKERS. Osteopathy is a boon to the man oi sedentary habits and to the overworked business and professional man or woman. The osteopathic physician is especially trained and fitted to find and remove the little mechanical de rangements of the body-mechanic, which interfere with the normal blood and nerve supply of the organs and tissues of the body. These derangements are the small beginnings of disease. The osteopathic physician offers to the busy man an opportunity to retain his fitness to increase his efficiency, add years to his life and in his later days escape such foes as rheumatism, Bright’s disease, arterio-sclerosis, nervous prostration and prostatlc troubles. For these conditions osteopathy is not only the surest preventative but the best means of cure. DR. C. R. WEAVER. 'Phone 314. o — FOR RENT.

SIMPLY LOVE FEAST FOR SPEAKERS

The democratic speakers have an easy task in campaigning this year. They are not telling the people what they would do if the party were in power. They are telling you what has been done by the national and state administrations, and they are proud if it. AH the things that the national and Indiana state administration have done have been so popular with all the people, and the results and benefits to the masses are so plain that they have been subjects for conversation until it is hard to'find a man or woman who does not fully understand. It requires no intricate of mysterious analysis and explanation for instance, to tell an audience that the new tariff took the burden of taxation from those things which all the people must buy and use. Republican orators used to take whole evenings to explain a single item in their tariff and if the audience ever understood why such laws should be the speakers seldom did. It is just as simple for demjerats now to show that the income tax rests most heavily upon those who have been fattening for years upon what they were able to take away from the producing and consuming masses through special legislation. These were they who carried on the campaign of scarecrow fiction, seeking the defeat of the income tax law. Then the banking and currency reform law, which the republicans declared was going to crush all bus! cess. This bill as Mr. Bryan told you. simply took the financial seat of the government from New to. Washington. The people may now usq their own money without asking the permission of Wall street, or paying exorbitant interest to the house of Morgan for using the money that belongs to them. We have also kept out of war with Mexico, or any other country or countries, because Woodrow Wilson and the senate and congress would not be driven to war by a lot of loud demands of the interests that might have made a few millions more through war and the shooting down of a few thousands of soldiers. Beveridge and Miller have told you'

in their party platforms that had they been in power they should have demanded war. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan tell you they believe it. They also believe that not only Beveridge and Miller, but all other senatorial and congressional candidates of all parties save the democrats, would have opposed all the Wilson policies and will do so now if elected. In state issues there was more constructive legislation, more good business laws and more laws directly benefltting the pocketbook of the people of moderate or limited means than has ever been enacted by any other Indiana legislature. The vocational education law; the placing of all the state schools upon a substantial and safe basis for all future time, unless republicans or pro- j gressives should some day get into power and repeal these laws, this not j being likely to happen soon; the road laws doing away with a lobby that ' heretofore was sustained by perquisi- | ties;’ the penal farm law; the fire mar- | shal law; the public utilities commis- I sion j All these and other laws have been so plainly and directly beneficial to all the people that there is no argument necessary and the workings of ill these laws is perfectly plain. So tiiis year the democratic orators are simply out holding love feasts, everybody being glad to shake hands and be happy because most all the : people are democrats. The republican and progressive orators and newspapers are conducting a campaign of negation. They do not like the democrats nationally or in the state. Nothing suits them and you can’t blame them, for they are being kept out of office. But they offer no substitutes for the things thejr do not like. They have nothing constructive to gjve you. Thousands of people in Indiana will meet during the remaining days of j the campaign to listen to Marshal), I and Ralston, and Kern, and Shively, g and Taggart, and Adair, and all the I others i/ho re.out among them telling ! over and over again the many good I things done by the democratic party I sfnee the affairs of nation and state j i were intrusted to their keeping.

|H|ll ' | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | SOCIAL CALENDAR* Tuesday. Euterpean Mrs. Fred Mills. "• Wednesday. Bachelor Maids—Anna Clark. Friday. Mite Society—Mrs. Fred Schafer. “What you are. over-shadows what you say". On account of the fact that the teachers will be in Indianapolis attending the teachers' convention the latter part of next week, the Euterpean club will meet Tuesday instead of Thursday evening.

Mrs. James Collett of Van Wert. 0.. and Miss Jessie Grinemeyer of Fort Wayne will be guests over the weekend of Mr. and Mrs. Marsh Burdg. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Helm and children will also be entertained at dinner Sunday with them at the Burdg home. Another of the delightful Hallowe’en parties of the season was given by Miss Florine Edwards last evening for the Rebekah Good Times club. All came masked and the guests were numbered as they entered. After all assembled the guests walked to another room and performed some stunt as she walked, whereby she could be identified. Miss Gladys Selman won the prize for guessing the greatest number. A visit was paid to the dining room, where individual candles on the table were provided for a marshmallow roast. Then came the delightful oldfashioned game of trying to blow out the candles in pumpkins, and this, with singing and other music, and mere games, passed the time merrily. A very fine two-course luncheon was served at the table in the dining room which was (prettily decorated with honeysuckle, nasturtiums and other fall flowers. Seventeen were present. The luncheon and table decorations were carried out in the club colors, pink and green. A fern was the centerpiece. the sprays converging from the center of the table on the white cloth to the corners, and the flowers carried out the pink scheme. Black witches were laid around the centerpiece. Tiie pink and green were carried out in the luncheon in the second course in the strawberry ice cream and fejsses. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Peoples entertained at dinner last evening for Mrs. John Koop of Fort Wayne, Mrs. L. Bultemeier and daughter. Luella. Miss Lilly Venis will entertain the telephone girls Wednesday evening at a shower for one of their number, Miss Gertrude Omlor. who will be a November bride. Interest in the Epworth League box social at the Methodist church last evening waxed great last evening, and the large attendance thoroughly enjoyed the program and 'various entertainment features. Good music was furnished in the program by the Misses Muriel and Hallie Leonard, Cecil and Celia Andrews, Ruth Baltzell, Hope Hoffman. Mr. Irvin Merry and others, and a talk by the Rev. D. T. Stephenson was very fine. The
