Indiana. as second-class matter. If you don’t register October 9 you will be disfranchised election day. October 9th is registration day and it is necessary that all who wish to vote in Adams county shall register on that day. Its a big job and the democrats should get busy at once on an organization that will see that this is done. i John A. M. Adair will tour this ,county October 2nd closing with a speech at the court house in this city that evening. You are most cordially invited to hear hiln discuss the state issues and you ought to do so if you are interested in the affairs of your government. And the worst is yet to come—for the republicans. The democrats are now claiming they will carry the state of Pennsylvania. While dem., crats are not expecting such a land slide and will not be disappointed if they fail to land there are said to be thousands of progressives ’ in that state who insist the standpatters cannot and shall not win. Judge Jacob F. Denny, democratic candidate for congress in this, the old eighth district, will open his campaign in Adams county Friday night with a speech at Geneva and Saturday night at Berne. He is an able speaker, is well versed in the great questions of tue day and every voter should hear him. He expects to speak in other portions of the county during the campaign and will make a straight from the shoulder campaign for the high office he is seeking. Vice president Marshall is one of the nation’s great men. His speech here yesterday was not the speech of a narrow little partisan, but the expressions of a great and big man. broad and deep, who loves his fellow man and who knows what is best for every man and his brother under God. He held his crowd for an hour and a half he spoke the truth to them. He is indeed well fitted to fill the high position he has attained and we believe he will be chosen again by the people of this land who recognize in him a true and honest friend. He urged the election of Wilson, of Kern and Taggart, of Adair and Denny and of the entire state ticket, arguing that no man can fulfill his promises unless he has the aid of those men who form the governmental machinery.

MARSHALL’S SPEECH A WONDERFUL ANSWER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) rural credits bill was heard with breathless Interest by'the citizens of this almost wholly agricultural community. Farmers that may never need money, listened, knowing that the bill particularly concerned them, was enacted in their favor and for their benefit. ”1 know that the president of the United Stales,” said Mr. Marshall, in opening his discussion of American foreign policies, "has never written a word to any ruler of any foreign power that is not in strict accordance with international law and strict neutrality. The republicans while criticizing the administration thus far have not been courageous enough to say what they would have done nor honest enough to say what they will do. , "This administration was the recipient of the ’Taft administration. We got the leavings of Mexico. It has not been and is not an exclusive problem of Mexico. When I first went to Washington 1 was introduced to al! the ministers, plenipotentiaries, consuls, preachers and so forth, and these representatives of South and Central American republics gave me a cold and stony glare. For a great time it was greatly embarrassing to me. I finally decided it was not my personality that caused it and I began to cultivate the representatives of the South and Central American republics. I found that they believe, as 1 believe, that we stole Panama, and they believe that our protestations of being a big brother was onlyprotestations. They thought it was our purpose to take possession of all the country between the Rio Grande and Panama. But they know now that we intend to be what God intended us to be in that family of nations: that we think as much of the poorest and humblest as we do the greatest and most powerful on the globe! “But can you get a word out of the republicans if they are intrusted witli power? They talk a great deal of American honor. I have no busic to set up a standard t>f honor for you. or you for me. The honor of i the American people is not made by the president or a candidate for president, but by the American peo pie themselves. The American people are not going to war to suit the follies or fancies of a disgruntled citizen here or there. that the men who bring on wars are not the men who fight them!” PUBLIC SALE.
