Marshall at Decatur next Monday. Come to Decatur Monday afternoon and hear the issues of this Important campaign discussed by Vice President Marshall. The vice president of the United States will be in Decatur next Monday afternoon at three o’clock to speak to the voters of Adams county. The meeting will be of interest over the district as this is the only speech to be made during the campaign by this well known official. It is a long jump from the "full dinner pail” of Mark Hanna, to “five < tnts a meal or less', that is promi<ed patients in Indiana hospitals for the insane Goodrich if the people will make him governor. Goodrich denounces more than a nickel a meal for those unfortunate sick people as “criminal extravagance."

Mr. Goodrich has made his trip through Adams county, has made bis promises, has maligned and belittled 'his opponent, the Hon. John A. M. Adair as well as about every other democrat, and has gone on his way. He failed to answer, Mr. Stotsenbergs speech of Saturday as the republicans have a failing of answering, except ly dodging and he seemed to have about as much trouble in finding a real flaw tn democratic administrations -f ass« is as las Jlr. Hughes. Mr. Goodrich forgot to explain that it cost him nomination for governor, nearly throe years of the salary if he should be elected, that he spent so much money and conducted tts can paign so elaborately that R. O. Johnson, an Adams county “favorite son” was forced out of the race. If he has the same spendthrift ideas of conducting the office should he be fortunate enough to secure it, the experiment might prove just a little expensive for the people of Indiana. Maine, a rocked ribbed republican state, which has not elected a democrat since the war except during the campaigns when the republicans and progressives divided the vote, and which ordinarily gives the g. o. p. candidates a margin of 30,000 yesterday elected a complete republican ticket, but by majorities reduced to from 7,000 to 11.000.-* The esults show that about twenty-five per cent of the progressives are voting with the democrats and that ratio maintained over the country will sweep Mr.

Wilson back into office by a large plurality. The fight however Is not overtiy any manner of means and each side will very probably put in their best licks during the next two months. According to official figures published the first of September there were 508.677 more automobile owners in the United States on January first. By the end of 1916 Indiana will have at least 35.000 more automoile owners than in 19K. Most of these new owners are the farmers and peolie in the rural communities. Watt •> and New are out trying to convince tfese people the lepubllcan panfo of 1907 was prosperity compared with present pauper conditions. Jim Goodrich is telling them the same thing aid premising that if elected governor he will see that food for patients in the state hospitals will be reduced to less than five cefts a meal. —Marion Leader-Tribune.
