On next Tuesday Indiana democrats will have the opportunit/ of again showing their love for Thomas R. Marshall when at the state-wide primary they will choose him as their candidate for the viqe-presidency. Not only will they have the opportunity to evidence the esteem they hold for Mr. Marshall by giving him a splendid vote of confidence but by placing his name, along with the name of Woodrow Wilson at the head of the democratic ticket, they will insure Indiana being found safely in the democratic column next November. Indiana is well content to follow the leadership of the vice-president. He has made good every confidence reposed in him by his people and they have been many. He has never lost touch with the folks at home and w hile he has been found equal to every call the nation has placed upon him. while he has added dignity to the position he occupies the strength to the administration he represents, he has kept his sympathies in harmony with the great heart of the masses.

WONDERFUL SONG BOOK FOR READERS OF THIS PAPER. The Presentation of “Heart Songs” a New Idea for a Newspaper—The Work Has 500 Large Pages. The remarkable offering by the Democrat of the now famous song book, entitled “Heart Songs,” announcement of which appears today elsewhere in this paper, should be a source of sincere congratulation to both publisher and reader. Already more than a hundred thousand copies of this unique volume have gone into the home of the young people of the United States at ‘.he publisher’s retail price of two dollars and a half per volume. The merits of the bcok are such that the sales are steadily on the increase and in the ordinary course of business the book should attain an enormous circulation.

Upon our first approaching the publishers with a proposition to allow us in effect to make a gift of it to our readers, we met with a cold reception. But subsequently a plan was developed whereby a syndicate of the largest and most influential newspapers in the country entered into an agreement with the makers of the book, so that several hundred thousand copies might be alloted to the readers of the respective papers for practially the bare cost of production. From day to day, beginning with this issue, this paper will publish new features connected with “Heart Songs,’’ until all its marvelous attractions are set forth to our -readers. It is of universal interest and there is no member of the family but will find something of fascination and genuine interest between its covers. As we state elsewhere, we believe the distribution of this book’will accomplish a work of education of the very highest character, and our offering may fairly be called a testimonial to the thousands of men and women who read our columns daily. The work has five hundred large pages, and comprises four hundred selections, words and music. It is to be had by this paper’s readers on presentation of one coupon clipped from this paper, and the bare cost of distribution. Books are on display at this office, and the choice is yours. o PIANO TUNING AND REPAIRING. D. A. Glillom (Professional) rebuilder and repairer ot pianos and sewing machines, ana piano tuner.
