Adair of Portland, the democrat, who turned the Eighth congressional district of Indiana from 8,000 republican majority to 8,000 democratic majority, and has held it there for several terms, was in Terre Haute this morning on his way to Jasonville, where he and Senator John W. Kern are the principal speakers at the big democratic rally, discussed the results of the elections of last Tuesday as he views them: "I see great encouragement to the democratic party in the returns from the elections held last Tuesday,” said Mr. Adair, “especially the returns from the republican state of Massachusetts, where Governor Walsh, although defeated by a small plurality, made a tremendous gain over his vote of two and four years ago, having received 20,000 more votes than he received two years ago and 27,000 more than his vote four years ago. The republican candidate received many thousand less votes than the normal republican majority prior to the division between republicans and progressives. The campaign in Massachusetts was fought out on national issues, as it were also in Maryland, where the democrats won a decisive victory. The result In Massachusetts shows conclusively that the democratic party is growing in popularity as is evidenced by its increased vote in that republican stronghold. The result in Maryland was more than satisfactory to the democrats as a republican governor is replaced with a democrat. While the vote in Kentucky on governor seems to be very cluse, yet taking into consideration the fact that the campaign was waged largely on

local issues, the result is by no means discouraging to democrats. Had it been possible to have kept local issues out and made the campaign on national issues there would have been no question about an overwhelming victory. The carfeul analysis of the results as a whole was very gratifying indeed to democracy and is a forerunner of a splendid victory in store for us next year. Our republican friends have been driven from pillar to post and are today without a single issue.—Terre Haute Tribune. Advertise in the Daily Democrat, Mr. Merchant, if you want to get results. and remember that you are talking to 15,000 people. It's your one big opportunity to tell, your customers and your near customers what you have and why they ought to buy. It’s up to you. Buy at home, and buy from the merchant who invites you to his store through attractive'advertisements. If you do this you are safe. You have his personal guarantee and you have the knowledge of knowing that you are keeping your dollars here where you have a chance to get them again. A copy of the Winchester Evening News, newest effort of the daily field in that city, has just reached our exchange table. It is a bright and newsy, well printed and attractive four-page paper, with D. W. Callahan as editor. It is being well supported by the merchants of that place and will win. Winchester is the only city of its size in this section of the middle west which has not had an established daily paper and most of them have two or three. It looks like a winner and will be if Mr. Callahan continues to give his people the news, as he has in his salutatory editions. We certainly witsh the News all the good luck that can come to a daily paper in a city of 5,000. May you have all the good things and none of the tribulations that usually accompany a venture into the daily field. A MAD CAREER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) trouble to this. The first Mrs. Taylor told the second Mrs. Taylor that Cecil on Sunday, the day following his marriage, wanted her t 0 run a*’ay with him.

He mutters among the clouds; He flutters above the sea: • He ravages regions rare Where savages leap in glee; He strips the forests bare In autumnal ecstacy. The wind is a child of earth, Os ocean, air and sky. He joys at a young world's birth. He moans when the old ones die; He can woo a nodding rose to rest. Or trample an empire down. He's sceptered king of everything, And the high stars are his crown. —Robert Loveman. The Sunday School class o f the U. B. church taught by Ruth Gilbert will meet with Zelma Nelson Friday evening. Let every members be present. The Knights of.Columbus were able hosts last evening to the ladies at a pedro and five hundred party at the K. of C. hall.

SIX STATES TORNADOED (United Press Service) Kansas, City, Nov. 11, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Six middle states were hit by a tornado which apparently started south of Great Bend. Kans., shortly after nightfall last night and swept northward. Many are known to be dead, hundreds are injured and many million dollars damage to buildings, live stock and crops is today’s estimate of the storm's toll based on reports reaching here over still shaky telegraph and telephone wires. Four killed and sixty injured under falling buildings at Great Bend, where the storm struck hardest. Three were killed at Zyba Kansas and several injured. One man was killed and several injured when a freight car was blown over near Derby Kansas. Several persons were injured at Hartford South Dakota. One man was killed at Hopestown, Illinois, when the wind blew down a factory. Several places In Nebraska and lowa reports heavy damage from rain and wind. At Marshfield Wisconsin buildings were blown down live stock killed and many structures unroofed. ATTACK PRIMARY LAW (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Nov. 11, —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Three suits attacking the new primary law and asking an injunction in Marion county were filed in circuit court here today. The title of one of the suits is Carl H. Mote against Horace G. Casady. Mote is assisting in the campaign of James P. Goodrich, who is a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. Carl A. Mote today filed suit in circuit court attacking the constitutionality of section ten of the primary law, which would prevent those who voted the progressive ticket at the last election taking part in the next primary or in any other party. Mote said he was a progressive, but is now a republican. Mote's suit is understood to have the backing of the state republican committee. Mote was actively engaged in the recent legislature in drawing up various primary bills. He drew up the bill that Representative Jones first submitted to the house.
