Concluding his address last evening. John Adair said: “As God has been my helper. 1 have tried to discharge my duty as 1 have seen it and I want you to know and to believe that the mistakes I have made have been mistakes of the head and not of the heart.” Such a man will make a great governor. The primary is practically over and the big contest comes next Tuesday. We want to again call the attention of every voter to the fact that it is your duty to help select the nominees of your party. If you belong to any party you have the right to vote there and no where else, but you should vote there. Help select the men who will carry your ticket to a great victory next November. Betting on the republican state primary still favors Jim Watson and Jim Goodrich and the lines seem to be well fixed up for these two progressive gentlemen. They have spent several months telling the voters of Indiana how much they had to do with the famous Chicago convention four years ago and they will have to do some more explaining to the people between this and November. , — , .. .1 ~ — i From the same platform in this i city last evening Judge Denny and Frank Foster presented their claims 1 as candidates for congress in this district. This would be an impossible procedure with republicans, but the * democrats believe in a friendly dis- 1 cussion of the merits of candidates 1 i for office and both these men made good impressions with the voters who heard them at the court house last evening. The Decatur Horse Sale company ' sold four hundred and twenty-three head of horses here at yesterday's sale, meaning a total transaction of about $150,000, some industry for any city, and it comes every two weeks , six months in the year. This com- ; pany has given Decatur the reputa- i tion of being the best horse market in the middle west and as long as the farmers and the buyers work together this will continue. It helps a lot, and we hope it continues to grow. 1 _■ Mr. Adair is popular among the vo- ' ters of Adams county, as was again j proven last evening, when the court room was filed by t crowd representing. every township and it was an attentive crowd of voters who listened ( to the well known congressman an ( hour and a half and believed his ev- 1 ery statement.

rp made sixty-eight speeches in Indian = during the past few weeks and h pt predicts a glorious victory next Nc _ vember. He will be nominated so y governor next Tuesday and he wll win at the fall election easily, bccaus< the peopde have confidence in him _ He keeps his political promises an< lie has represented the people of th< Eighth district faithfully and honest q ly. He reminded the candidates lasi a evening yist it would be difficult so: 0 them to always please every one‘and 3 recalled a meeting held at Herne sev- ’ oral years ago at which he asked instructions from a crowd of 800 on an ■ important piece of legislation. He ’ followed that instruction to the letter but now even some of those who so directed him are finding fault with his vote which was cast as they ordered. But at that the great mass of voters know John Adair is honest and square and capable and they will elect him governor of Indiana next November.

Mr ADAIR IN A POWERFUL ADDRESS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I icy and name the candidates of the democratic ‘party. For eight years the News has sympathized with me because, as it said. 1 couid not run for governor, as the machine in Indiana was against me; that I had shown 'during the ten years I had been in congress, that 1 was not owned or controied by any man; that I had convictions of my own and that I had the courage of my convictions; that I wore no man’s collar and could not be dictated to by any one, but just as soon as i announced my candidaev for governor, then, in the eyes of the News, I was a machine candidate. If the democratic party is to succeed in the future, it must break the influence of the News among our democrats. When no election is on its says good things about us, but when election time comes and we need its support. then it is always arrayed against the democratic party. The News would not support any democrat for governor, no matter who he might be. If this paper believed it could inl-uence me in the appointment of a public service commission in Indiana, its opposition would not be So strenuous, and the fact that the News knows it cannot dictate to me is the chief reason for its opposition. I do not have many promises to make you. but I do want to promise one thing, and that is that if I am elected your governor, the Indianapolis News will not run the- governor's office of Indiana. If elected, I shall stand for good and wholesome, progressive legislative. for the lowest rate of taxation, for the advancement of civic righteousness and the overthrow of civic depravity. If I had my way about it, I would make the atmosphere around the home of Indiana so pure that we could raise our boys and-girls into manhood and womanhood and send them out in life to bless the country and mankind. 1 am more than grateful for the loyal support you have given me during the past ten years 1 t have represented you in congress. ’ The service I have rendered has been - endorsed by you time and again by I the splendid vote you have repeatedit' e given me. I sincerely hope you will i. stand just as loyally by me in my race ;. lor governor as you have stood by me in the five races I have made for congress. I trust T shall not lose a single Y democratic vote in this county. It 'F nominated and elected I will render i’ for you a service that will reflect cred e it upon you as well as upon myself i

I Says glass of hot water with j e I 'phosphate before breakfast washes' out poisons. — If you wake up with a bad taste, bad ! breath and tongue is coated; if your h ! head is dull or aching; if what you eat s; sours and forms gas and acid in stomB ach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin Inside bathing. Drink | before breakfast, a glass of real hot I water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It. This will flush the • i oisons and toxins from stomach, liver, j kidneys and bowels and cleanse, : weeten and purify the entire alimenj iary tract. Do your inside bathing Im- ‘ mediately upon arising in the morning (o wash out of the system all the previous day’s poisonous waste, gases aud tour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like ’ you felt before your blood, nerves and ’ muscles became loaded with body ims purities, get from your pharmacist a , i quarter pound of limestone phosphate ; which Is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which - is not unpleasant. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and limestone I , I phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly. - —o FURNISHED HOUSE WANTED—A high class family would to rent a furnished home in Decatur. .Must have modern conveniences.

JUDGE JACOBF DENNEY OF PORTLAND, INDIANA DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS FOR THE EIGHTH DISTRICT. ■' iKr - w OK Up Ji r IBf 1 ** ' -ft •■. f 4*s*. •#> • -p®; u~A . ar-»C' •■-' ' < - 'W' / MY SWAN SONG. This is my last appeal to the democratic voters of the Eighth district for their support on March 7. I have nothing new, novel or sensational to tell. lam just a plain, every-day sort of democrat, with no platform except that to be fashioned in the image of democracy at St. Louis next June. I AM FOR WOODROW Wilson and peace—the strict maintenance of neutrality between the warring nations. I am against Roosevelt, Root and war—against entangling foreign alliances that might lead to war. I AM IGNORANT as to the details of the splendid diplomatic service that has, in these hours fraught with national peril, preserved our traditional integrity and honor and at the same time saved us from even the probability of strife. It doubtless possesses state secrets, is in touch with popular feeling in the belligerent countries that it i would be unwise to give to the newspapers or the public at this time. But Ido know that to take out these men. and put green • hands in their stead, unfamiliar with the conditions, would be* a i dangerous experiment, and especially if these new men’be pledged to follow the reasoning of Senator Root’s keynote speech or Col- ■ onel Roosevelt’s frantic eagerness to get into the scrap. e DON’T YOU THINK f <O . 0 ’ it would be just as hazardous to send a congress io 1 V) ashington which is pledged in advan< e.to get in the raad of the 1 administration, to hart-ass and annoy it at every turn, to hinder £ instead of help? Yes? No?
