It is to be hoped that they will have to change their name ty the live hundred fighters. Join the ranks. Grain and grain products of the American farm account for $867,250,000 of our exports during the first twenty months of war; which equals two and one-half times the exports of explosives. The farm is the first asset in every preparedness program-. in twenty months of the new democratic tariff, ending March 31, 1916. the balance of trade in favor of the United States in its world commerce exceeds $2,936,000,000, as compared with less than half that, or $1,403,000,000 during the last twenty months of the republican tariff. Who wants to abolish this career of prosperity by ieturn to old conditions? Four years ago honest republicans differed honestly as to grave matters of state policy. Now they are expected to get together without any of those questions having been settled. Whether conservative or progressive, they are expected to vote to “beat Wilson.” Tens of thousands of them will not be content thus to bury a fight for principle under the inglorious cover of a rush for pie. For a while after the democrats revised the tariff the republicans apologized for prosperity by saying that it was merely a continuation of republican good times. Then they said it r vaa the war.

Facts ' 1 fight for demoaracy. • - .I, —< ‘ The one tiling that works against 1 Wilson is that he has accomplished ‘ so much, his administration has forged ahead so far, that the people are S apt to forget just what was the state < of things four years ago. Sit down ' 1 by yourself. about the things 1 i , that were disturbing the political , thought of the country four years ago. Contrast them with what is go- * ing on now. Then.there is no doubt 1 I about what you will do in November. ( You will vote tor Wilson. While you are worrying about your insurance rates, If you will comply ; with the requests of the bureau you can secure a reducth :i tL.it will save you considerable money and many of these can be met without any cost to , speak of. It should be your duty to j do all you can to prevent fire and in 1 doing it now you can reduce your insurance rate. The men who lectured 1 ! 11 here last night said they knew of no reason why any property owner or . business man in Decatur should not , secure a lower rate than he ever had.

WAITE IS TO DIE. (Unitoil Press Service) Now York City, May 27 -(Special! to Daily Democrat) Dr. Arthur War ! ren Wnite was this afternoon found! gulltv of murder In the first degree for the poisoning of his millionaire I father-in law, John E. Peck, of Grand Rapids. The jury which considered Waite’s case, retired at 1:23 o’clock and reported its verdict at 2:45 o’clock. Waite will bo sentenced to die In the electric chair at Sing Sing. He was remanded to the Tombs for sentence on June 1. The dapjier young dentist, who confessed not only to the murder of Peck, but to killing the latter’s wife, and endeavors to poison his wife's aunt, received the verdict calmly. When word was received the jury was ready to report, Waite was brought in by two bailiffs, one walk- , ing in front of him and one behind ■ him. His face was firmly set and he displayed no emotion whatever. He i was told to stand as the verdict was pronounced. T(ie foreman’s words, [ "Guilty as charged," were scarcely audible. An immediate poll of the jury was taken, Waite standing un- , flinchingly. He was then asked the usual questions as to his age. place of birth and so forth, and the only sign he gave that anything unusual had taken place was in his manner of replying. Waite - spoke in such low ton.es that it was r necessary for a bailff to repeat his > answers. BABE IS SCALDED i Pulled Pan Os Boiling Water Off of I Stove.
