The vice president of the United States will speak at Decatur next Monday afternoon. You should hear him. Marshall at Decatun, next Monday. Be sure to hear this distinguished and able citizen discuss the political issues of the day. He has been close to the center of national affairs during the past four years and his address should be of interest to every voter in this section of the state. i i gj 1 .' i- ■' »■ — If Mr. Goodrich has some plan whereby he can feed the inmates of the various benevolent institutions of the state at five cents each per day he might pass it around. Why be so stingy? We know hundreds of people who would like to give him a contract at several times that amount and not bq so very particular about the bill of fare. Come on, Jim, let's have the' dope. The republican pary was put out of power because of failure, practical failure and not moral failure. Us policy was provincial in all things; Its purposes were out of harmony with the temper and purposes of the people and the timely development of the nation’s interests. The republican party is just the party that can not meet the new conditions of a new age. It does not know the way and it does not wish new conditions. It tried to break away from the old leaders and could not. They still select its candidates aud dictate its policy. When it changes its leaders and its purposes and brings its ideas up to date it will have the right to ask the American people to give it power again; but not until then. (From President Wilson’s Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination for President, September 2, 1916.) The republicans are making a showing of satisfaction as a result of the Maine election but underneath their outside smile may be heard the whistle of the fellow who is passing the graveyard. The only joy they are really getting out of it is the fact that they still have a gamblers chance. Had the results in Maine shown a democratic majority the election would

have been needless expense. As it is the victory is certainly a democratic one. A state which has a normal republican majority of 30,000 or more was carried by 13,300, not much to blow about, we'd say. The same proportionate loss over the country will carry almost every northern state for Mr. Wilson and the republicans made a harder fight in Maine than it will be possible for them to make in each state. They used every man they had including Hughes and Roosevelt and they did every thing else they could to prevent the democratic landslide that they felt was coming. The vote cast in Maine was ten thousand strong er than is usual showing that nothing was left undone. After its all sized up other than for advertising purposes, the republican w h r will get but ''dem” little satisfaction out of victory 15.000 short of what th y had the right to expect.

DIRE DISTRESS. It is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Decatur Readers. Don’t neglect an aching back. Backache is often the kidneys’ cry for help. Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid Means that urinary troubles may follow. Or danger of worse kidney trouble. Here's Decatur testimony: F. O. Ruby, 910 N. Second St.. Decatur, says: “I suffered a great deal from a stinging pain through my back and sides. The kidney secretions passed too often and were very scant and scalding. The secretions contained a sandy sediment. I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from Callow & Rice’s drug store, and used t,wo boxes. I was both surprised and delighted at the complete relief that they gave me.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr.. Ruby had.

REGISTRATION LAW A Few Reminder*. The Board. An inspector, appointed by the Board of Commissioners of the county at its regular August session preceding the election; he must at time of appointment, be either a voter aud resident freeholder of the township in which the precinct is situate, and have resided in said township continuously for one year immediately prior thereto, or a resident householder and voter of the precinct with continuous residence in the precinct for at least two years immediately prior thereto. Two Registration Clerks, to be appointed by the Inspector not less than five (5) days before the day of registration. These clerks must be voters and residents of the precinct. They can not both be adherents of one aud the same political party. There is no provision as to what parties they must belong to, except, that, in writing, and at least ten (10) days before the registration session, one of these clerks may be nominated by the coun ty chairman of each of the political parties which cast the second highest and third highest vote in the county at the last preceding general election, and upon receiving such nomination, the inspector shall so appoint (Section 3, Acts 1915, page 532.) The Session. Held on Monday, the 29th day before the election, which this year is October 9, 1916. ( The law does not provide for any other session.

Permanent Registration. If the registration books of any precinct, used in 1914, have been destroyed, or are mutilated or inacessible, or for any other cause unfit to be used, there has to be a registration of every voter in that precinct, upon proper notice posted by the inspector, but otherwise, any voter resident in the precinct, whose name appears on the registration books of his precinct, and who has continued to reside in the precinct in which he is registered,-and who shall not be disfranchised, and who has voted at the last preceding general election, shall not be required to register again. In addition to the necessity of reregistering where the books are unfit for use, It may occur that the boundaries of a precinct are changed (which can not be done later than ths March session before the election) and in this event voters should satisfy themselves on registration day that their names are on the permanent list, or will be on the permanent list being prepared by the board, and if necessary, register for that purpose. In case of omission, inadvertently or otherwise, of the name of a voter that registered and voted in 1914 at the general election, be can be reinstated by filing a sworn statement, provided for in Section 8 of Acts 1915, at page 539, this statement to be endorsed by two freeholders of the precinct, and should be made out on blanks substantially In the language of the statute. This statement can be filed with the auditor of the couhty a®v time before he has delivered the reglsvrstion books to the inspector of the elects, hoard, or can be made and filed w’lth the election board on the day of the election, and the voter will be entitled to vote. Absent Voters—Registration by Affidavit. Any voter, required to register, may when the facts justify, register by sworn application, containing: All matters required of applicants in person. A statement that on the day or days of registration he is, or will be, unavoidably absent from the county, stating his whereabouts on such day or days, or that he is sick, or quarantined, as the case may be. That thereby and by reason thereof he is prevented from registering in person gt said session of said board. The application must be sworn to before some officer authorized to adi minister oaths and having an official i seal. Two freeholders residing in the I precinct must certify, on the applicai tion, that they are acquainted with tjxe applicant, that he is the person he represents himself to be, and that the facts stated In the application by him are true. The application, when so sworn and certified, shall be delivered to the board of registration of the preci'iqt where applicant resides, by any registered voter of the precinct, on the day or days that the board is in session to receive applications for registration. Minors—Aliens.
