Monday, November 2nd. 0 JUDGE SMITH CLOSES BATTLE (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) countants and spent $1,600 of his own money but the books did not balance. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS A SHORTAGE BUT BELIEVE MR. LACHOT CHARGED HIMSELF WRONG FULLY IN WHICH CASE THE COUNTY IS AHEAD, for the bondsmen came forward and paid the loss as finally agreed upon by the state accountants. I read you now the quietus which proves it and which the opposition has never told you about. This is the original and not a copy. NOT A MAN DARES SAY THAT JOHN LACHOT IS NOT HONEST. They go out and say that the shortage was not made good, but not a statement is sworn to by any man—because they dare not. Then I heard that Archbold had said that Yager was short, but Mr. Yager lias a statement from W. J. Archbold, showing that he was $22.07 j ahead. Bill says that Phil Macklin got too much money in 1913.” The judge then explained ) e law passed by the last legislator which made it possible for more roads to be built and which accounted for more money being spent last year than at any other time and explained also that Mr. Macklin has had more roads and ditches in his term than any ether surveyor had in four years. He read a sworn statement from Mr. Macklin showing he and his deputies had drawn a net amount of $4,343, and approximately SSOO for ditches, making a total of $4,843. His expenses were $3,305, leaving a balance of $1,538, not a very large salary. At the same time Bill drew as county treasurer over ten dollars per day and hart an expense of only a dollar per day.” 1 don’t blame Bill, but in the words of Rube Wilkins, ‘a man who lives in a glass house hadn’t ought to take a bath in the day time.’ ” The judge then explained the charges made against C. C. Ernst, the Democrat and | others. He told how the seventeen republicans met and delivered the party into the hands of the “lilywhites,” and how Alph Graham had done likewise with the nrogressiv s He explained, too, how Alph is trying to use the independents, republicans and democrats to boost th? cause of bis candidate for congress on the n-.ocsers’ ticket. The judge said that Miltie and his pa were making a fuss about high taxes and that he had looked up their records. Pa sold a farm in 1910 for SIO,OOO, and had a sale of personal property amounting to $1,300 end then retired. In 1912 he paid no taxes. In 1913 he was assessed S6O and Miltie S3O. Do you think high taxer, affreted them much? Continuing the judge said: “I have been asked why I am making democratic speeches and I'll te’l you why. Since last March this bunch of 'lily-whites’ have gene up nnd down this county abusing my friends and my party and telling untruths about them. They have abused every one who disagrees with them and I will fight them until the last vote is counted next Tuesday.” The judge explained the charge ■ him concerning the renting of 'n court house, also the silly statemer.ts made that he had sent a man the penitentiary for stealing shoes i another for the same period for murder. It is an untruthful statement for the terms were not identical, and further than that the court doesn’t make the laws or f|: the penalties. Under the law he could do nothing else than what he did in these cases, for the penalty is fixed by statute. The judge read the clipping from th? Berne Witness in which the old soldier is called a grafter if he draws a pension, lie compared the candidates on the citizens' ticket and closed by saying, “let there be no weakening along the line .vote early and vote the democratic ticket —then will the star sink below the horizon, without a ripple upon the Adams county citizenship.” The big crowd remained until the close and the cheering was of the kind that shbws that the voters are with the democrats. o SALESMEN —Two young men for, special work, positions permanent, with exceptionally good chance for j rapid promotion for live wires.—The Magazine Circulation Company, 327333 So.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM I MATERIAL PROGRESS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) are multiplying to indicate that the Germans are preparing to withdraw to their entrenched line already pre pared in the rear of the positions now occupied by them. Paris, Oct. 31 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Although the military officials declare that the allies are gaining a nqfable victory in the north, the official claims are couched in the most guarded language. It is admitted that in the severe fighting yesterday at various points along the 300 mile battle line there were alternate advances and retreats. Whitby, Eng., Oct. 31 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —It is now considered certain that the death list of the hospital ship. Rohilla, which was wrecked on the coast near here while proceeding to Belgium, will not exceed twenty-five. More than half of the eighty passengers still on board at daylight had been saved by the life line which was stretched during a slight lull in the storm. Others managed to swim ashore by the use of life belts. c, . .. - NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT OF MEETING OF BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. Notice is hereby given that on account of Tuesday, November 3, being election day, the board of commissioners will not be in session on that day, but on Monday they will adjorn their meeting over until Wednesday. November 4, 1914. The public will please take notice of this continuance. By order of BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. — o A most enjoyable Hallowe'en party was given last evening at the Pythian home by fourteen young men of this city in honor of their wives and also Mr and Mrs. Burt Bowser and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Locke of I'crt Wayne. Os all the ghosts and strange spirits abroad, none were more cheerful nor more cleverly disguised than the throng of sixty-five at the United Brethren |Young /People’s Christian Endeavor society's social at the home of Isaac Nelson. It took much clever ingenuity to guess the identity of the masked host but this was finally accomplished. After laying off th' masks there were Hallowe’en games and stunts, music and refreshments. The party was exceedingly enjoyable. 1 Kenneth Neptune left this afternoon for St. Mary's, Ohio, to attend a masked ball and will remain for an over-Sunday visit. Dr. and Mrs. Stoker of Ossian will ibe guests over Sunday of Dr. and j Mrs. C. V.
