Watch Judge Denny in the coming campaign. He is a vote-getter and will win with ease. There is no further time to lose if we are to have a centennial celebration in Adams county this year. Nearly every county in the state is planning such an event and we can and should have the best one in the middle west. Let’s combine it with an Old Home W’eek and let’s get busy. Out of the first fifty-eight counties reported to the secretary of state. John A. M. Adair carried all but one. that being Franklin, the home county of his opponent, L. B. Clore. It's a safe bet that Adair will take good care of himself next November, for he is the kind of a vote-getter that always does. Though New received a greater number of the votes in the state than Watson, there is a probability that the latter will have the best of the state convention. Delegates may vote the way their county voted, and if they do it seems probable that Watson may yet gain the nomination. Mr. Watson has fought many years for recognition and if it is within his grasp he will not give it up. The republican state politicians made a deliberate and determined est fort to make a great showing in the vote given Charles Fairbanks for president. Letters were sent to each republican sheriff, asking them to remind each voter as he appeared not to forget to vote for Fairbanks on account of home pride, the showing that could thus be made, etc. As a result; his total shows a lead over Wilson, the democratic choice, of about All of which means nothing, for the total vote cast for presidential cafididates in the state was not one-half the number that will be cast next November so there is plenty of chance for either side to make substantial gains. The total vote for each party was rather light in the primary and it will not benefit either side to figure 1 November results from these figures. THANKS VOTERS. 1 wish in this manner to thank the voters of Adams county for the splendid support given me in the primary. 1 heartily assure you that it was greatly appreciated and I trust that I shall always be able to retain your confidence while acting in my official capacity.

Mrs. Hubbard paid five cents a pound for the rags and the money thus earned went to the flower fund.

Washington. March 10, —(Special to Daily Democrat)—General Funston, American border troop commander, urgently recommended to the war department today that American troops be given authority to pursue Mexican bandits into Mexico. Shortly after receiving Funston's request, the war department anounced that Secretary Baker would discuss it with President Wilson today,. In the meantime, the department said, the situation is over for the present at least and there is nothing to do unless we are ordered to go in. ’ Chief of staff Scott declared no order had gone to Funston to proceed to Columbus and that for the present there appeared little chance that such orders would be sent.

“Urgent recommendations, said Funston's message to Scott, "that the American troops be given authority to pursue into Mexico hostile bandits who invaded American territory is needed.’ “So long as the border is a shelter tc them they will continue to harrass our ranches and towns to our chagrin. General Pershing reported that 'lie Mexican consul at El Paso thinks that there should be no objection to Ani' i'i an troops entering Mexica in pursuit of Villa and that he would wire his government recommending coopera tion. z Word was received from General Funston that all American troops had returned from across the border. At the war department it was said that orders would be awaited from higher up” before further action is taken by the department. By this, it is understood, that definite instructions from President Wilson are expected. A statement from the president outlining the administration’s intended course regarding border bandits may be issued during the day, it was inffi cated at the white house. BULLETIN.
