Entered at the Postofflce in Decatur, ndiana, as second-class matter.* Haven’t you paid your little old quarter and joined the Good Fellowship club? Why, that’s the club that is helping to pay the expenses of the Municipal Christmas tree, it's time to get in. Keep on buying Christmas seals. It’s no time to stop now. Put them on your Christmas gifts, on your letters, your cards, your packages of every kind. Let the world know you are boosting this cause. You never do any harm by advertising that you are on the side of humanity. Governor Ralston has-taken a hand in the Muncie situation and will see that things are cleaned up there. The city has the reputation of being a wide open city, though supposedly dry, and it is charged that law violations are so numerous that no one expects anything else. Mayor Bunch is in consultation with the governor today and it is likely there will .be some sudden changes in police regulations at Muncie. The Huntington Press comments: ’’Hugh Miller has issued a statement announcing that he has withdrawn from the republican nomination for the United States senatorship. Miller gives as his reason for withdrawing that his health will not permit him to make an active campaign. Miller’s withdrawal leaves practically a clear field for James E. Watson. That Mr. Miller is in poor health will be regretted but that the situation has avoided for him an unmerciful drubbing by the republicans cannot be denied. _ Since Watson’s, entrance into the race there never has been a time that any opposition to him was considered as serious. Even Miller’s friends admitted they” could see the handwriting on the wall.” When Congressman J. A. M. Adair was first talked of for the governorship, republican papers referred to him as an anti-machine democrat. Now that the indications are very favorable for his nomination, those same papers are calling him a machine man and Taggart’s man and from this time on it can be expected that abuse of all kinds will be heaped upon him. It would make no difference whom the democrats might nominate, the same epithets would be applied to him. In the eyes of republican politicians, any democrat nominated for an office is a ' machine man. Those who have watch-

ed Congressman Adair’s career know that he is a faithful, capable public servant, that he has been absolutely free from machine demination and that he would grace any office within the gift of the people of the state. The slurs that are being thrown out against him are wholly uncalled for and will doubtless react against his detractors. —Goshen Democrat. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY

(United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 14 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Governor Ralston today completely vindicated Prosecutor Frank Mann of Delaware county. He indorsed the stand Mann had taken to enforce the liquor laws. The governor's action came after a long semi-public conference in which Mann in a quiet voice made some of I the most sensational charges against members of the Muncie Law Enforcement League ever heard in the state house. Governor Ralston told Mann and Mayor Bunch to go back to Muncie and get in touch with good people and enforce the law. He said he and the attorney general would decide later if a representative of the attorney general would represent the state in the impeachment trial of Mayor Bunch. DR. BURNHAM’S SAN-YAK Acts as a Living Antiseptic in the Stomach and Intestines. San-Yak prevents self poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents elogging of the colon and caecum; hence its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, Decatur, Ind. o Democrat Wants Ads Pay.
