Monday, October 9, is registration day. It's up to you. Mr. Voter, to qualify to vote next November and the way to do it is to register. John A. M. Adair will bring the voters of Adams county a message next Monday that they should hear. He has been in the political game for many years and he is well known by the voters of this district, having served in congress ten years. Ho has made two hundred speeches in the state during the past six weeks and he comes to tell you voters why he believes the democrats should continue to serve you in office. His schedule includes speeches at Pleasant Mills f Berne, Geneva, Linn Grove, Monroe and Preble and he will close with a meeting at the court house in this city Monday night. Every voter is invited and urged to hear him. Democratic speakers are not traveling in solid Pullman trains, but they are telling the farmees, the working men, the shop men, the merchant, why they ought to vote the democratic ticket for their own good. According to the llailway Age Gazette, the total operating revenues of railroads during the fiscal year of 1916 amounted to $3,396,868,334, an average of $14,818 per mile. Operating expenses were $2,220,004,233, 'or $8,684 per mile and the net operating revenue was $1,176,804,001, or $5,134 per mile. Compared with the fiscal year of 1915, the current year shows an increase in operating revenue of $598,359,921, or 16.9 per cent per mile. The net operating revenue cost was $315,521,528, or 36.4 per cent per mile. Has Candidate Hughes so soon forgotten that we live in a “fool's paradise?” He should read these figures and revive the issue. f Differences between what Mr. Hughes and his followers call labor legislation and the old republican brand of legislation for the big interests, is that the so-called labor legislation benefits every man, woman and child employed or dependent upon salary or wage earners on the earnings of business enterprises outside of Wall street. This is the sort of .legislation in which the democrats have been interested while in office. Legislation for the big interests, the sort that Jim Watson and Jim Hcmeuway and their associates in office have always given for the

support of the big interests, has helped only the gamblers who contributo the republican campaign funds and sometimes pay politicians for their services both In and out of office, robbing the masses of the people to pay their demands. The republican orators and publicity promoters tire overlooking something. A short while ago they were making an issue of the fact that Hen rv Lane Wilson had lost his job in Mexico after Wpodrow Wilson became president. Since Henry Lane » Wilson organized his “non-partisan Hughes league," and commenced making speeches in Indiana for the republican- ticket, he seems to have moved out of the lime-light. »,,„_,.,,W *• *• W»• »• »• ..... .
