It will be an important meeting, and all democratic precinct committeemen, all democratic candidates and all others interested in the success of democracy should not fail to be present. HENRY B. HELLER, Chairman. And while the republican press is telling various stories of a proposed plan of W. J. Bryan to follow President Wilson on his tour of the country, that gentleman is enjoying a comfortable existence at his winter home at Miami, Florida, and is paying but little attention to politics. Well, the republican press has to have something to complain about. The democrats will hold their state convention in Indianapolis April 26th and 27th. at which time will be nominated all state officers excepting governor, who will be chosen at the primary. There will be 1,363 delegates and of this number Adams county has fifteen, these to be selected according to districts as announced yes-

’ torday in the prlmnry on March 7th. $ It is said that each year there is sent from this community more than $200,060 for goods that could be purchased here. There must be a reason. The merchant blames the farmer and . the farmer blames the merchant, and perhaph each is a little at fault. And ! tht fact remains that the money ( keeps on going. If the merchant will I make every possible effort to meet 1 prices, to buy goods from the farm--1 er at right prices and then the farmer realizes that when he spends his money at home he has a chance to get at least a part of it back, it seems that at least a large per cent of this money ought to be kept at home. If the farmer helps tse city and the city helps the farmer, each adds to the value of the other's property and you have the best community in the world. It can be done and it will prove a great benefit to every citizen of Adams county. Let's think it over. The democratic primary is on and the next five or six weeks will be busy ones for those who wish to represent that party on the county ticket. Every democrat in the county should be Interested in the campaign. It is your duty and your right to help select the best men for these offices. You should also take a sufficient interest in public affairs to see that the proper men represent your precinct on the committees, that men who will vote to the best interests of you and your party and your community are selected from your district as delegates to the state convention. That’s what a primary is for and you have the same right to aid in the selection as has your neighbor or any one else. There is no machine or organization that we know of in Adams county seeking to control the nominations except the organization of the individual candidate. Every democrat should vote at the primary and he should aid in the selection of a strong ticket. There are many new requirements under this new law. You should read them and assist in complying therewith. Your suffrage is

your greatest privilege and yon should not fail to exercise it. « ——in ■■■■ *» 1 Some (>f the republican papers have ■ of late been accusing the democratic • proas of saying unkind things about 1 Colonel Roosevelt because they fear 1 his nomination and triumphant elec- • tlon in case he Is nominated against r Wilson. Now comes the titular lead--1 er. of the republican party, ex-Presl-t dent Taft, and accuses the wicked ■ el nominated because they know that ■ nominated because they know that ' such nomination would Insure the 1 election of the democratic candidates. ’ As a matter of fact both the colonel's ’ friends and enemies are without wars rant in their charges. The democrats ’ are well satisfied with the situation, ‘ however the eat jumps in the repub--1 liean party nominating primaries. The ' democratic view of the situation is that the republicans will be damned if they do and damned if they don't nominate the colonel and their interest in the outcome is largely dictated by the curiosity. Ex-President Taft says that the nomination of the colonel would split the party wide open, and we are inclined to believe that he knows what he is talking about. Mr. Charles Sumner Bird and some of the progressive leaders say that the party is already split wide open, and only Teddy’s nomination can close the gap. Both assurances have a comforting sound to democratic ears with the nomination five months away.—Goshen Democrat. ■aim iir-Hnim ■ nn i rrrTw?ni c * | DOINGS IN SOCIETY f inx::c -imnntr rerun-; rnttrutstnmaS WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
