Thomas R. Marshall, vice president of the United States, will be the prin■inn] sneaker for the big meeting here Mu:.day afternoon. Be sure to hear him. The vice president will be here Monday afternoon. It is an important occasion not only as a political event, but because of the fact that the second highest official of these United States will be our guest. He will bring a message worth hearing and every citizen of the county and district who possibly can should be here for the event, opening the democratic campaign in this section. ■ Governor Glynn says the last issue of the republicans who have so frequently "changed their hues and and like the huma bird kept on the wing” is the- Maine election. Then he proceeds to show that the democrats made a gain of thtirty-two per cent net which would, if the average is kept up. carry Indiana by 46,000, New York by 250,000, and sweep Wil- • son into victory in New Jersey. Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and the entire west. The statement that Henry Ford has been a “life-long republican” is something of a joke. Only a fewmonths ago this distinguished tieman stated in a public Interview? that he knew nothing of politics, took no interest in politics, and had never voted but twice in his life. And on one occasion when he did vote he voted for Bryan. As a lifelong republican Mr. Ford is a peach. —Fort Wayne News. But even so, he hasn't had anything on a very distinguished gentleman who is just now asking the people to elect him president who heads the republican ticket and who admits that he hasn't voted for seven years "nd failed to register this year, thus disfranchising himself, though a candidate for the greatest office in the .world. Governor Glynn, formerly of New York, but now of the United States. . as he was introduced by J. A. M. Adair, as chairman of the committee, notified Thomas R. Marshall of his nomination as a candidate to succeed himself. It was one of the remarkable occasions in the state of i’diana, with a two-hour parade, an enthusiastic crowd and the Glynn speech was one of the most wonderful ever delivered in the state. Mr.

' Marshall’s acceptance was likewise good and the event leads the Indian1 apolis Star to say editorially this morning: “Perhaps the most imperative obligation of honest criticism in con- , nection with the Marshall notification meeting is to recognize that the democrats made a really impressive showing. They had a big crowd, their speeches were adroit and effective, they had immense numbers of young men, they manifested enthusiasm and confidence. Vast continue to look upon the president as a brave and sincere man. humanly Imperfect, perhaps, but in full sympathy with the progressive reforms of the hour, passionately devoted to the cause of democracy and liberty, zealous for peace, firmly set against greed and oppression in high places. Some of these numbers must be won I over or the battle Is lost.” ,»• '*• M *a'W.W»* •• b* .»■* . h DOINGS IN SOCIETY I fl t> vFFK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Saturday. Tri Kappas Pastry Sale —Gas office.
