THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE:— One reads a good deal now In the republican papers that the combined vote of the republicans and progressives in Indiana would have defeated the democrats by sixty thousand and that is true, but just how any one can tell that If there had been no moosers the entire vote would have been given the republicans is a little difficult. We doubt it. The men who canvassed this part of the state for the progressives were generally advertised, former democrats, such men as Earl Crawford. Mr. Pierson, Mr. Bernard Shively and others, who have always fought the standpat idea and who probably always will. If the sixty thousand is evenly divided among the democrats and republicans there would be no gain for either side and the democrats could still win easily. As to the results in two years from now, it depends entirely, we believe,’ upon the record to be made by the democratic officials. Os course they must make good in congress, in the legislature, in the local offices. The people will demand that and they ought to. It is up to the democrats to give their very best services, not only that their party may be in better form in the next campaign, but because in this day and age that is the only thing which will satisfy a reading and thinking public, which wants what it pays for. including a dollar’s worth of service for a dollar's worth of pay from servants in office. If this is given the democrats have noth-1 ing to fear in the election two years ; from now. We have faith in the national administration and we believe the new state officials and the legislature will meet the demands of their ! constituency. It should seem that even partisan republican papers should at least see before they criticize. Jim Fleming was elected senator of Jay and Randolph counties by ten votes over Charles O. Weimer, most too close to boast about. Senator Shively was re-elected by fifty-one thousand, and Mr. Cook, for eecretary of state, ran but thirtteen thousand behind him, notwithstanding the hard fight made against him. The Berne Witness is still discussing whether or not they were right in their claims during the recent campaign. The people have decided they were wrong and the contention

that in tho future the voters will turn to non partisan candidates is foolish. Back of such a ticket would be no guiding party to hold the officials accountable for their acts nor any permanent organisation to continue them. Anyway the election is over. Let it go at that for the present at least. The democrats will have thirty-nine senators, tho republicans ten, and the progressives one in the Indiana senate which convenes next January. In the house there will be fifty-nine democrats, forty republicans and one progressive. While the assembly will not lie as one-sided as it was two years ago when almost unanimous, this was of course not to be expected. Bo»h branches are dernoratie with a good working majority and the list contains a number of strong men who should build well their record of six-ty-one days at law-making. The howl of the hard times seems to have heen a political scheme, fnr now with the election but a few days past every paper tells of the progress being made. If you will look around a little right here at home you will find that business is good considering the unusually warm fall season. Tn this city it is almost Impossible to rent a house, new dwellings are being erected, two or three new business houses are being built, every factory running full time, the farmers are prosperous. Just what more could be asked? Let’s forget politics and boost a little. It's the right time and the right spirit. 3 DOINGS IN SOCIETY I ■’* ■ ■ WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday.

Some one in facor of woman's suffrage has written the following, which we take from an exchange: “If a lassie wants a ballot Need a laddie frown? Many a laddie has the ballot, Not so bright as I; And many a laddie votes his ballot, Overcome with rye. "If a lassie works for wages, Toiling all the day, And her work the laddie’s equals, Give her equal pay. If a body pays her taxes, Surely you’ll agree, That a body earns the franchise, Whether he or she.” Raymond Gass, Godfred and Herb Ehinger, Fred Schurger, Newton Cunningham, Albert Scheumann, Frances Baker, Kittie Fought, Esther Heck-

On arrival there the good time was continued. The big fields were invitingly open for out of door games, and later the scene of merriment was transferred to the inside of the home, which was gay with its decorations of green and white streamers, the class colors. The girls prepared and took with them refreshments which were served. A big bon fire in the field was \sed for the toasting of marshmallows.

GERMAN SHIPS SHELL ENGLAND (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) He declared cargoes held nt Gibraltar show that some of these shipments were destined for the Krupps. Tokto, Nov. 7—(Special to Daily Democrat) —All doubt of the future of the German concessions of Kaio Chau if the allies' cause failed, was set at rest today. Following official announcement of the Capitulation of the fortified city of Tslng Tau, the chief position in the concession, the vice minister said. “For the present Japan must administer the concession. When peace in the European war is declared then Japan will take up the transfer of concession back to her. This statement was interpreted as definitely disposing of the rumor that Japan because it has cost her two thousand men, three torpedo destroyers, and one crafter, would demand that China give her title to the territory. ■ ■ ' O- —— WILL NOT BE CANDIDATENew York. Nov. 7—(Special to the Daily Democrat)—Willis H. Hotchkiss chief liuetenant of Colonel Roosevelt, today declared that Colonel floosevelt will not be a candidate for the presidency two years lienee. Hotchkiss insisted that the result of Tuesday’s election, when the progressive party was man-handled by voters, had nothing to do with the decision. He insisted that the colonel decided after his defeat of 1912 never again to be--ome a candidate for the presidency. EXTENDS THANKS. S. J. Fogle, assessor-elect of Jefferson township, wishes in this manner to thank hip many friends for their vote and support at Tuesday’s election.
