He will then give you a ballot and a blue pencil. Enter the booth and mark a cross aft- i

er the name of the candidate for whom you wish to vote. For a first choice vote, mark an "X” in the first choice column and for a second choice vote mark an “X” in the second choice column. Remember that you are not voting as democrat against republican or republican against democrat, but as democrat against democrat and republican against republican. If you do not understand the ballot, ask the inspector to explain it to you. That is his duty. The polls will be open from 6 o'clock in the morning until 6 o’clock in the evening. Any man twenty-one years of age or anyone who will be twentyone years of age on or before November 7 has a right to vote in the primary on or before November 7 has a right to vote in the primary. Do not stay away from the polls because you have not registered. It is not necessary to register to vote at the primary. Vote in tomorrow’s primary and vote for those men whom you feel will best fill the offices for which they are to be selected and will best lead the democratic party, the party of Jefferson, Jackson and Wilson to a glorious victory next November. We ask the assistance of the inspectors and other members of the 1 election boards in securing early returns of the election tomorrow. It : is expected that the returns will be slower than usual because of the second choice votes, because the boards cannot begin counting until six o’clock and because there are three separate tickets. We are asking the inspectors where it is possible to send us the news as soon as one party is counted out. If you will do this we know it will be appreciated by men of every party, not only in Adams : county, but all over the state. Let’s i give them an early report of Adams ' county’s primary. The only thing the opposition has found to say about John Adair is that he has been making the same speech ( this year that he did in his congres- I sional campaigns, and why not? He ‘ has been a member of congress for . nine years and an active and capable one. When he made his first race he

i made the voters certain promises. : When he made his second campaign 1 he told the people ho whe had kept those promises and when he made his . third and his fourth and his fifth fight, he told them the same story with the complete report of his actions during that two years added. He has been in close touch with the national government for nine years, has taken a prominent part in the conduct of the national congress and that is his story to tell. That’s what he tells you and in away that rings with honesty, inspiring confidence and making new friends wherever he goes. John Adair will be nominated by the democrats tomorrow and lie will win next November because he is the right man to head the state government of Indiana. He has converted the Eighth district from a republican to a democratic stronghold ami he will give you an excellent record as your governor.

GUSS OF SALTS . MS KIDNFYS If your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat. When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they straih from it 600 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water—you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- j jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what tweame of your kidney trouble and backache. COURT HOUSE NEWS. Jessie E. Cowen was granted a divorce from William F.

TO ADAMS COUNTY DEMOCRATS Bluffton, Ind., March 2, 1916. To the Democracy of Adams, Wells and Blackford Counties: I am a candidate for the nomination of joint senator on the democratic ticket at the primary election March 7, 1916. I have never sought an elective office before. I have, however, filled honorary positions in my party. I have served as a delegate to almost all of the democratic state conventions for the last thirty years, and was a delegate to the state convention in the year 1911, and served as chairman on the committee on rules and organization. I was a delegate to the democratic national convention at St. Louis in 1901, and was a delegate at large to the democratic national convention at Denver, in 1908, serving on the committee on credentials. I have served as a democratic member of the board of election commissioners of Wells county for the last twenty-six years, retiring this year because I am a candidate. The above record should be sufficient proof of my standing as a democrat. I was born and reared on the farm and my sympathy is with those who toil, and I have always considered myself one of them, as my idle hours have been few. After leaving the farm I taught school in Wells county for three terms, and in thfc year 1883 commenced the practice of law, with my office in Bluffton, and have practiced and maintained ftty office in Bluffton ever since. In my practice for thirty-three years, I have acted as attorney for the rich and poor alike, and for and against corporations. I have faithfully served the poor as I have those who have been more fortunate in life, and always took as much pride in so doing. I am informed that the statement is being made that I am a corporation lawyer, and that if nominated and elected, I would be selfish enough to serve corporations and forget the people generally. 1 assure the voter that my 8 very nature and training would be contrary to and refute such a statement. My services as attorney for corporations have been much the same as that of all law} ers at the Adams, Blackford and Wells county bars, only an incident to my general practice. If I am nominated and elected your state senator, my vote will always be cast in favor of good government, representing fairly and honestly all of the people and every interest in my district. I respectfully solicit the votes of the democracy of my district, as I believe I can properly represent the district in the state senate. Very truly, ABRAM SIMMONS. —Adv. .
