Adair, the Eighth district candidate for congress: “Congressman John A. M. Adair, who is making speeches at meetings in all parts of the state, is greeted by large crowds and he is very euthusiastically received all along the line. He makes a very intelligent, able, telling speech, is fair and just to all and does not indulge in personal invectives. The people of the state are echoing their faith in him. In fact, it is reported by his auditors that the people are “going wild” over his candidacy. It is also being admitted in republican circles behind the scenes that there is no use at. temping to defeat Congressman Adair for governor of Indiana or Woodrow Wilson for president this fall. “This sentiment was recently given out by a reporter of an Indianapolis paper which has been making an unjust and unwarranted attack upon Congressman Adair. The truth is, the standpatters see the handwriting on the wall. They also recognize the fact that they are yet badly and hopelessly divided. That while a few former progressives have announced their intentions to go back to the grand old party, with a promise that they will be taken care of, yet they cannot deliver the rank and file of the progressives to the standpat crowd. The ordinary standpat boss is as obnoxious to the progressives today as he was in 1912. It can be truthfully said that thousands of progressives in Indiana would much rather see the democrats win than the standpatters and if they decide to desert their own party they will vote the democratic ticket rather than the republican ticket. “The inward feeling of the standpatters is very intense against the progressives. In many counties in the state the progressfves have been treated with derision and impunity, being told where to head in or using even worse phrases. "From the fact that there will be a progressive state ticket and from the further fact that it is admitted throughout the state that Congressman Adair and Woodrow Wilson are much stronger than their party, how can the standpatters who are tourn into shattered frag ments hope and expect to win in IbiG 9 It is preposterous. There’s nothing to it. — ■ The lines are set for the primaries over Indiana and the battle will continue until March 7. In the Eighth district there are two democratic can-

The candidates in this county are known from announce- : ments, made one way or another, and the scrap is on. It's up to the voters l to select the men whom they want to I represent them. Look them over 1 carefully and here’s hoping the best ' men win. Tlip mid-winter session of the Democratic Editorial association, held at Indianapolis last week was one of, If not the most delightful ever held. The attendance was large, the enthusiasm all that could be asked for, the program good, the speech eg the kind that make a fellow feel glad he was there. Governor Major of Missouri delighted everybody who met or heard him and made hundreds of Hoosier friends, the banquet was delicious and was well served and the business session was a profitable one. The meeting closed with a luncheon . given by the Indiana Democratic club. 1 a delightful event. — - • ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CONGRESSMAN.

RURAL CARRIERS Will Benefit by the New Postoffice Measure. The Civil Service News, published in Chicago for the benefit of the civil service employes of the country, in its issue of February 3, carried a story concerning the postoffice appropriation bill, which carries a total of $320,509,879, and which was reported to the house last Monday afternoon. This bill exceeds the estimates by mure than $4,000,000 because the committee materially increased the estimates for rural carrier service. Under the terms of the bill tjie rural carrier service will get $53,000,000 during the next year. Postmaster General Burleson asked for only $48,500,000 for this branch. There are many items of interest to the employes in this measure. Chief among them are two provisions, the first of which instructs the postmaster general to make no distinction hereafter between carriers employed in delivery and collection services, and the second instructiing Mr. Burleson to restore to their former grades all men assigned to the collection service whose salaries have been reduced to SI,OOO a year. The clerks again get the largest lump sum appropropriation next to the rural carriers. Rural carrier service, $53,000,000; clerks $47,900,000; carriers, $39,100.000; postmasters, $31,000,000; railway mail clerks. $29,725,050; sub-postmasters, $3,675,000; assistant postmasters, $3,200,000. The measure, in addition, changes the compensatory time law so that hereafter the make-up for holiday work can be given at any time within thirty days instead of seven. In addition, it provides for the creation of the employes’ bonding system recommended by First Assistant Postmaster General Roper. o CONSPIRATORS DISCHARGED. (United Press Service' Ft.
