Entered at the Poetoffice tn Decatur, Indiana a* matter The democrats held another dandy meeting at Huntington last evening, strting off the campaign. The democrats there are enthusiastic and will pull together for the greatest victory they have ever had. You can’t beat ’em. * Governor Ralston has declined to join Mr. ford’s party which will leave next Sa’a. day for Europe to insist that the soldiers be taken out of the trenches before Christmas. The governor is ’ ht as usual and his message told his views clearly. Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis. has joined the Guy Stock company and will become a regular actor. His experience as mayor seems to have been most valuable, though it is doubtful if even his warmest admirers expected him to reach this high position. It looks like a walk-away for Mr. Adair if the stories in the papers of the state are credited. The Jay county gentleman has away of getting what he goes after and it appears this will hold good in his desire for the governorship. He will make not only a good candidate with whom the democrats will win a splendid victory next fall but he will also make a great governor. He is fair and square, a man who knows how to do things and does them, who ten years of congress has broadened, who can look you in the eye and give you a handshake that is *„• as sincere as it seems to be. * — W—iiißl — ■—— TWILIGHT SLEEP (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) operations.

War Minister Gelleini has promised to use them on the firing line only in case they are imperitively needed. Few, however, are hopeful enough to believe this need will not arise soon. It is expected six months at the outside may see them in the trenches. The socialists fought the call hard. They sought to delay it at least until next year.
