Indiana, as aecond-Hasa matter. Be sure to hear John A. M. Adair at one of his meetings in this county Monday. He will close his day with a speech at the court house in the evening. Register Monday, October 9th, and remember that the fact that you registered before does not register you this year. You must register again this year or you cannot vote in November. THIS MEANS YOU. As compared with one year ago this month steel orders have increased 96. S per cent and idle ears have decreased 95.9 per cent. This despite the Herculean efforts of Hughes and the reactionary Old Guard to kill prosperity for their own partisan purposes. The spectacle of the "unholy alliance” between t’olonel Roosevelt and the very men whom four years ago he denounced as "porch climbers," “second-story men,” and as "grafters and crooks” continued to gain in interest afid impressiveness each day of the campaign. The democratic speaking campaign in Adams county starts Mon- • day, when Governor Adair will make a half dozen speeches in various towns. He wil close with a night meeting at the court house. During the rest of the week local and outside democrats will conduct meetings at various places, speaking in I nearly every precinct, and these] meetings will be continued up to the day of election. Adams county democrats are fighters and they will conduct the campaign this year in a thorough and energetic manner. Straw votes do not indicate much, the trouble being that the paper •which conducts them can make them come out just the way they want them to. For instance, the Enquirer's straw vote shows the race in Ohio a very close one with a slight lead for Hughes, while the Ohio State Journal; published at Columbus, shows a wonderful lead for the president which, if averaged on the entire vote, would give that usually republican state to Wilson by 130,000. The man taking the vote knows before he takes the poll just about what the results will he and he can place the votes to get the result desired. i
