H| JJ Jg Every where, the democrats are organizing for a red hot political campaign that will assure a victory for Wilson and Marshall and the entire ‘state ticket in November. Might as well get on the band wagon and make it unanimous. The people ajre for the party, whose officials have made good on every promise during the past four years. Democratic headquarters will be opened at once in the rooms over this office, where you are ipvited to call at any time and where from time to time various meetings will be held for organization purposes and speaking programs will be arranged beginning within a week or two. You are cordially invited to call at any time for information, literature or to report conditions existing in your precinct. Get the habit. —— Maine is voting today and the outcome will be studied and discussed everywhere being taken as an indicator of the November results. For half a century it has been the rule that if the state of Maine in the Sept, election shows a republican majority of less than 17,000 a democratic national victory is assured in November. Both sides are claiming a victory in today's battle and each will try to make a showing. National questions have been made the issue. The meeting in this city at three o'clock next Monday afternoon is one of the important ones of the campaign now opening. The speaker will be Thomas Riley Marshall, vice president of the United States and one of the most brilliant orators of the nation. It will be the only speech by this noted advocate of democracy in the Bth district and delegations will be here from various counties. Mr. Marshall will answer the five weeks campaigning of Mr. Hughes and will tell you why the administraton is deservingof your continued support. Don't fail to attend. In a clear and most convincing man- ,

ner, Evans B. Stotsenberg, attorney general of Indiana, spoke at Greenfield, Saturday, answering the charges made by the republican state coipnuttee and their millionaire candidate for governor. His answer should be read by every voter who has any idea that the democratic administration has been a wasteful one. When the democrats assumed control! eight years ago they found a bankrupt treasury, debts amounting to many hundred thour-4-l dollars and the various state institutions wobbling along in a half supported condition. Now the debt has been paid, the old institutions taken care of and placed on a sound business basis. while several new ones badly needed have been built and operated. New laws have been enacted for the benefit of the people, t’n schools awl colleges have been aided as they never have in tht*hi.-.tory i f t'.: state before. All of the required money which was raised from the people and tor which they have received full value. The democrats have made good in Indiana as they have in the nati.in and those who doubt it will be convinced by reading Mr. Stotsenberg's wonderful speech.

IT STARTS TODAY" James Whitcomb Riley, best loved son of Indiana, plays a leading part —the leading part—in the famous historical picture, "Indiana,” which will be presented at Crystal theater : under the auspices of the Women’s Civic Improvement Society, today and tomorrow. Writing in the Indianapolis News 4he day after Mr. Riley’s death, Wil Ham Herrschell, himself a poet of rare gifts, said that the film, “Indiana," would be for all time to come a priceless historical record if only because it contained a splendid picture of James Whitcomb Riley as he was a few weeks before he passed to his final rest. Mr. Riley took the deepest interest in the centennial picture and came all the way from his winter home in Florida a month before his usual time to take part in the picture. It shows the great poet at his best. He is seated on the lawn at his home ip a group of children. He is telling the story of his native state to the children. As the story progresses through the eight reels of the picture you see Mr. Riley in all his varying moods, now smiling that rare smile of his, anon grave and solemn as if he realized that hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would see him in this picture and perhaps drop a tear or say a word of praise for the man who had done so much for his own people. No Riley lover should miss seeing the seven thousand five hundred feet of the great picture as he was in late May.
