Indian*, as second-class matter. Mr. Adair will discuss political I sues here Monday. Hear him yoiffself Register Monday. October 9th. It is necessary for you to 410 so if you want to vote November 7th, and of 1 course you do, for nd man can afford j to disfranchise himself. Hear John A. M. Adair in one of his six speeches in Adams counts 1 next Monday. You ought to be in I tertsted in the questions he will dis- | cuss and you ought to listen to his ad- ■ dress in this very important cam paign. When Vice President Marshall came here he traveled in a solid Pullan ordinary train. He is a i-vuimuil, every-day citizen. When Mr. Hughes came here he traveled ina solid Pullman train o's eleven cars. He is an aristocrat. Think it over, Mr. Vo- j ter! Mr.,Goodrich seems to have let up; on his argument that the patients o, ( state institutions ought to be kept | for five cents a day. He is also neg - lecting to explain why he pays taxes , on but SBOO worth of personal property in Randolph county, thought it is known he is worth several hundred thousand dollars. Jim has a good “skinning” coming and he is going toi get it November 7th. The aristocratic Mr. Hughes it 1 rushing through New York state today in his million-dollar train, telling the man who works'with his hands; that he is opposed to the eight-hoir ■' law and to everything else the democrats have done. Can you beat it? How. do you suppose the distinguished friend of tM millionaire expect t the ordinary man to vote for him and his pals? The Enquirer’s straw vote taken on the streets of Decatur last week showed ninety to forty-three in favor of Wilson. In the entire vote taken in the state New' leads for senator, while Kern is second, and it should be remembered that in judging the vote that the poll was taken in Indianapolis, Richmond, Winchester, Kendallville and Portland, where the republicans in the old days had large majorities and the fact that the total vote is close shows that when the totals are counted in November the democrats will have a walkaway. Keep on working, hovs! 1
