Abram Simmons 'S’W' * > Candidate for Joint Senator On the Democratic Ticket at the Primary Election March 7, 1916. TO REPRESENT Adams, Blackford and Wells Counties Hon. Frank C. Dailey, former district attorney of Indiana, and former law partner of Abraham Simmons, has addressed the following letter to the voters of the district composed of Adams, Wells and Blackford counties, in which Mr. Simmons is a candidate for joint senator. He says: Fellow Democrats: • I have seen legislatures at work and have an idea as to the kind of men needed. I am acquainted with both candidates for the nomination of state senator, and know which is better qualified. With this in view and the further fact that I am one of you, I feel (hat 1 can express an opinion to you on this subject without even the suspicion of attempted dictation. The next legislature will need strong, capable men, and you have just one chance to furnish that sort to the senate. During a partnership of nineteen years, I had the opportunity to know Abe Simmons just as he is. Abe Simmons is a man of unquestioned and unquestionable integrity. He is not only honest as the word is commonly understood, but he is honest minded. He is self-made and made correctly. From an humble beginning as a farm hand, through industry and perseverance he has become a leading lawyer of the state. Few people know' the obstacles thrown in his way, which he surmounted. Others would have become discouraged and quit. I believe I would have. I am informed that they are using his success as a club against him and are saving in opposition to him that sometimes he has been employed in his life work by large concerns. 1 know’ it to be true that he has been employed by business of wealth, and I know further that he has been employed by many persons as poor as poverty. Like other lawyers, he took what reputable business came to him. and was glad to get it. It is entirely to his credit that he got some clients who could pay him, and make up in part for the vast time he has spent where there was no hope of reward. A man can work for concerns, individual or corporate, large or small, as general manager, superintendent, motorman, section hand or lawyer, and be dishonest and mean, or he can work in either capacity and be honest and upright. It all depends upon the man. Abe Simmons plainly belongs to the latter class He gives the best he has to his employer, and if you select him as your senator and agent, he will act with the same fidelity in your behalf you have seen him display when acting for others. . Abe Simmons is clean. He has the intelligence, capacity, experience, and honesty to make your representation the best in the senate. When asked who your senator is, there will be no occasion for apology. Very truly, , , FRANK C. DAILEY.

SUPERIOR PROVISIONS. For Total and Permanent Disability. The Penn Mutual Life Insurance company having no interests to serve but those of its members, has devised an entirely new method of rendering service to its membership who by reason of accident or disease become totally and permanently disabled and are thus prevented from earning an income. While the method is wholly without precedent and incomparably superior to that followed by any other company it is within safe lines, be-1 ■ ing based upon reliable statistics and its own experience, requiring but a' slight addition to the regular premI ium for the benefits conferred. The premium is inconsiderable, while the benefit is substantial, continuous during the life, of the insured and without diminishing by a dollar the amount of insurance carried for the proteclion of the , family or others. First aid to the injured is thus a matter of contract. It is not charity. It is the rightful result of wise pre-1 vision and provision. Illustration—Age 35—Ordinary Life j

Policy, SI,OOO. Premium $28.16 This premium, wmen includes the rate for disability provision, is less than the rate charged by many companies without any disability feature; and is less than the rate of others which incorporate such provision. In event of total and permanent disability prior to age 60 under the above policy the company will: First. Waive ail future premiums under the policy. Second. Pay to the insured a monthly income of $8.33. Third. At death pay the beneficiary under the policy, $1,000.00 (without any deduction either on account of the premiums waived or the monthly income payments). The superiority of the Penn Mutual method is admittedly great because it Involves no reduction of the amount payable as a death claim to the family. So far all other disability clauses restrict the benefits to the insured and in so doing compel the family, for whose protection the policy is usually taken, to sacrifice In whole or part the amount of such portection. Beyong age 60 the policy provides for a waiver of premium in case of “total and permanent disability,” thus

turnlshing a substantial gunrnnteo against lapse and ultimate loss to the beneficiary. In all essentials, the contract Issued by the Penn Mutual Life surpasses 01 lothers. It extends a much needed porvlce on terms of reasonableness, fairness and adequacy, consistent with Its unsullied record throughout sixty-eight years. THE PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. John H. Starcst. Anthony H. Hackman, Agents. — A, ' v - - ROMANCE BROKEN’ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) correspondents to all trains coming from that place, but until an early hour this morning she had not returned. She had purchased a roundtrip ticket to Valparaiso over the Pennsylvania so that she could save the extra faro because of the interstate rate, and would have returned over the sa'inc\road. She had sent no word to relatives, and had not as usual when she is returning, ordered her car from the garage to take her from the station to the home of her parents. 1 Relatives and friends of the couple were not of the belief last night that any mercenary reasons had provoked the young aviator to his action. They did not believe that ‘’Art" could have been induced to divorce his girl-wife , in order that his manager might be I able to schedule more flights for him. Last Letter to Aimee. Mrs. W. Alexander Cour, 918 Harmar street, mother of Aimee, was heart-broken last night. Brave and making every effort to conceal her sorrow she said they had not a single intimatipn of any divorce proceedings. She said: “Aimee heard from Art the latter part of last week. I read the letter. It was the only one, I believe. I have ever read. Art said he would not start for Japan sooner than March 15. and probably not until later. and that Aimee must content herself here until definite plans were made. There was nothing in the let ter that even hinted at any trouble between them. Aimee has the letter with her.” Chums Flock to House. When the report of the divorce proceedings had spread over the city scores of girl friends of Aimee’s flocked to the Cour home to make inquiries. Mrs. Cour asked them, she said, if they knew of a Paul Cooley, reported to be the co-respondent named. None off them had ever heard of him, nor had Aimee ever mentioned such a name. Mrs. Cour said they told her. “Thig is a terrible shock to us,” averred Mrs. Cour. “We thought Art and Aimee meant as much to each other as they always have, and Aimee has been going about- in her usual bright and cheerful manner. Art’s mother didn’t even have any idea of such a thing, for she told us so tonight. We can’t any of us make it out. Aimee left here at 3:20 o’clock this morning and expected to come back tomorrow. We look for her at noon. She went with Mrs. William A. Bright, jr„ of 711 East Wayne street, to visit some of Mrs. Bright’s relatives in Chicago. I don't know who they are.” While Mrs. Cour was talking she made a heroic effort to drive back a flood of tears. At times she would stop for a minute, and then proceed. Now and then a tear would roll down her cheek. She would brush it away bravely and go on with her story. She, Mr. Cour and the children sat about the library table with only a low table light burning. Mother is Shocked. “Not until we received his message yesterday morning did his father or 1 know that Art had even thought of a divorce, for he and Aimee had always seemed so supremely happy,” said Mrs. J. F. Smith, mother of the young aviator, last night' at her home on the Leesburg road, two miles west of the city. “Aimee has been with us frequently since she came home Christmas to visit her parents in Fort Wayne and she never said a w'ord of any trouble between them. Art’s letter, which he says in his message is on the way. will explain the whole terrible thing. The story that his manager persuaded him to divorce Aimee because he would be more popular as a single man, is, of course, absurd.” Pretty Romance Shattered. The wreck of the Smith marital craft brings to an epd one of the most Interesting of love stories. Art and Aimee had been sweethearts from the time when he was in knickerbockers and she wore pigtails. Their courtship culminated in the first aeroplane elopement in history, in October, 1912, when the young lovers flew from Fort Wayne to Hillsdale, Mich., were injured in making the landing and were married in bed at a hotel. A telegram from Chicago at 1:30 o’clock this morning brought the information that Mrs. Smith had left the Bishop home early in the evening with the statement that she was to take a train for home. o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIG
