Entered at the Postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. The press of the state continues to boost John A. M. Adair for governor and the indications are that he will have but little opposition. The candidates must file their notice atf candidates soon and the political pot is boiling just now. The prosperity hum continues and grows ever louder. There are some so partsian that they are sorry to see the turn business big and little has taken but they can't help it.

Smith for congress, his picture smiling forth to the readers of that journal. All over the district he is recognized as a formidable possibility to succeed Mr. Adair. During the next week something like thirty thousand dollars of money will be turned loose by the banks of this city as a result of the Christmas saving clubs. Its a good thing for

' The announcement that the sugar factory will run another thirty days to complete the ca l n is good news to the large force of workmen ■ as well as for the busines.. i of 1 this city who will reap a benefit therefrom. The plant is a great business institution and their 1 success is bringing pleasure to those ■ who have worked for this end for ■ several years, overcoming many obs stades that would have seemed im • possible to the average business man. The future looks bright for this concern and a little co-operation will help. Republicans politicians talk about how they will, if they win at the next election, open up the factories in Indiana anj set the wheels of industry to turning, thus breaking the awful "panic” and and depression” that is sweeping over the land, spreading death, starvation, suffering and misery everywhere. Why, bless their hearts, the factories of Indiana are running to their full capacity right now. Many of them are working three shifts of

men, each shift working eight hours, i thus keeping the mills in constant operation tor the full twenty-four hours. They could not work harder If they wanted toThere is no panic, or depression, ' nor is there want, suffering, sturvai lion and misery in Indiana. And the ■ same is true all over the country, In--1 dustry is booming at almost an unheard of rate, and everybody thut wants to work is working. The R<‘I publican politicians will have to find l another issue on which to make their ■ campaign if they expect to get any- • where with it. —Marion Leader-Tri-bune. f DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.

(United Press Service) Washington, D C., Dec. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)—With the usual bustle and confusion a torrent of bills and resolutions, the machinery of congress was put in motion today. The routine betrayed no surface indications of important legislation that will affect the nation’s domestic problems and international relations. Champ Clark was re-elected speaker of the house by a vote of 221 to 194. In accepting the speakership Clark predicted that on account of increase of legislation perpetual sessions of congress are in sight for the near future. The submission of appropriations totalling one and a quarter billion dollars hinted at the tremendous program facing the congress. Preparedness as the dominant issue was emphasized. The senators and representatives alike conceded its pre-emi-nence. Members generally believed the administration’s preparedness program will be materially changed. Opposition to the program seems to be spreading. The administration bills were not introduced today, but will await the president’s message. The senate was in session only forty minutes. No bills were introduced. Senator Clark was re-elected president pro tem. The house proceedings required several hours because of the long roll call and the administering of the oaths to many members. Preparedness and war measures galore were in the flood of bills introduced in the house. Government construction of war munition plants was proposed by many. - O CITY BAND TO GIVE SHOW. Under the auspices of the Decatur City band at the Bosse opera house on the night of December 21st, will be given a four-act drama, entitled, "A Woman’s Honor.” The cast for the show is as follows: General Mark Lester—Clelland Ball.
