Pennsylvania. In a recently 1 published story, he tells of a pedestrian's trip he took from the latter to the former place. The distance : covered by him —he did not move exactly as the crow flies —was about 500 miles. He crossed the Delaware at New Hope, the Hudson at Newburg, and the Connecticut at Springfield. To quote from him, the long walk “gave a line chance to come into pleasant contact with a large number of plain but intelligent good people. They talk pretty freely to a man who tramps and yet pays his way, I was much impressed with the good opinion so many farmers and others expressed about President Wilson, and especially concerning his foreign policy ami his having kept the country out of war during a difficult period. It seemed as though they intended to vote for him at the next election. My walk was through a little of Pennsylvania. a good deal of New Jersey, a piece of New York state, the northwesterly corner of Connecticut, western and eastern Massachusetts, and part of New Hampsire. * • ♦ The general sentiment of those with whom I talked seemed to favor Wilson.” Mr. Welsh ended his trip June 27th. Since that time public sentiment fa forable to Wilson's re-election has grown wonderfully. After a painstaking canvass, the Boston Herald, republican, today announces that the indications are for a smashing defeat to the republican party ti Maine, and as “Maine goes, so goes the nation." The Chautauqua opens next Monday afternoon in this city with a program never equalled. It's a great big week, filled with features many ,of which are worth the price charged for a season ticket. Get the spirit. Be a booster. The Adams county central committee met today to plan for a rousing campaign that will open early next month. They will pay careful attention to the registration, will open headquarters soon, and organize in every township. The campaign Is to be a hot one and this old "green spot” will make a showing worth while. Adams county' sent her'share of

fighting, up on their toes democrats to the opening meeting at Ft. Wayne today and they will lot tho Adair boosters of the Twelfth district know that we have some noise makers in the old Eighth District Chairman W. A. Kunkel, a live wire, led the boys from this district and was proud of the showing made. Judge Jacob F. Denny, democratic nominee for congress to succeed John A. M. Adair, was here today with Judge James Moran of the appellate Benell and talked to the county com mlttee. Both men are enthusiasticover the prospects of a sweeping democratic victory in November and both men are urging good close organ iza tlon in every precinct. Ex-Governor Frauds once said the following of newspapers: “Um h year the local paper gives from SSOO to SI,OOO in free lines to the community in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The editor, in proportion to his means, doer more for his town than any other ten men, and in fairness he ought to be supirorted not because you like him or admire his writings, but be cause the local paper is the best investment a community can make, Imay not be brilliantly edited or crowded with thought, but financial ly it is of more benefit to the community that the preacher or the teacher. Understand me. I do not mean mentally, and yet on moral questions you will find most of the papers on the right side. Today, the editors-of the local papers do the mast for the least money of any people on earth.' .mil ..Il .-«■ yi.!,...; John A. M. Adair started his big drive toward the governor’s chair to day when he opened his campaign at Robison park. Fort Wayne. We, of the Eighth district, know Johnny Adair and republicans, progressives and all others recognize his ability as a political success. We knew him when he made his first campaign for congress in a district more than 5.000 republican ,and he walked hundreds of miles during that campaigA, speaking in school houses, halls and on the street corners, going up on the buildings to shake hands with the wof-k men, into the ditch, into the factory and the shop, and he won. Each two years since he lias increased his majority and he has done it because he kept his word, because he made good every minute, because he has proven a friend to the laboring man, the capitalist, the citizen. His speech today was one of the straight-from-the-shoulder kind that he has a patent on and he will continue to make them in every section of Indiana. He is a five-to-one shot right now and will get stronger. Fort Wayne did herself proud today and earned her right to have the opening of the campaign. It was a great event.

Bosse homo on First street last evening for the shower given by Mlsa Glennys Mangold and Leone Bosse in compliment to Miss Leah Hensley, who will be married September 6 to Herman Ehingen The unique lilth* invitations were suggestive of the nature of the party. They read: " 'Tis going to shower, but don't you regret, For nary a person will ever get wet. Just bring you a rain drop and be sure to choose Such things as a housewife Is likely to use.” The wealth of the summer's flowers was showered down upon the porch. Black-eyed-susans, daisies, golden glow and myriads o f other flowers, filled liaskets or jardinieres, or wore massed otherwise about the veranda, while rustic furniture, cushions and comfortable chairs filled nooks and coners and accommodated ’he twenty-nine guests. Japanese lantern's softened light added to the beauty of the sceeno and In the center of the porch, under which Miss Hensley was given the place of honor, a Japanese umbrella, suspended by its handle, held a wealth of pretty gifts. When the umbrella was closed, the gf’ts wiere. showered upon the bride-elect. -A very pretty and interesting floral contest was entitled “The Springtime Love Tale.” A beautiful Rookwood tea pot was the prize, won by Miss Francis Deiningen who in turn, presented it to the guest of honor. A song by Mrs. L. A. Holthouse,, piano solo by Miss Vera Hower and readings by Miss Lnella Sauer, of Newport, Ky., who is Miss Bosse's house guest, and an elocutionist of ability, made a very delightful program.
