I look it or you lose your vote. John A. M. Adair, the next governor of Indiana, is touring this county today and will speak at the court house at. 7:30 this evening. His tour over Indiana has been a most successful one, great crowds hearing him everywhere. He has represented this district in congress for ten years and needs no introduction to our people, lie will come to you today with the straight story of an honest man, discussing the issues of the important camptiigu. Every voter should hear him. When Candidate Hughes came to Decatur he traveled in a line train, the very finest in all the land, eleven coaches, including .. se baggage ! cars. It costs a fortune to operate that train each day. We ire :i;.t objecting to a man traveling as well as he wants to if he pays the bill, but the trouble is that Hughes don't pay these bills. His fine- train is but a part of the elaborate expenditure < f money being made by the millionahe crowd whiffh is backing him. Wlhat use have they for the common man, except during election time? Roosevelt “skinned ’em alive” at Battle Creek'Saturday, as advertised, let those who heard him know that he thought the United States should have interfered with Germany when they entered Belgium, that we ought | to go to war with Mexico, that we ! ought to fight somebody right away—and lie is to be a member of the Hughes cabinet if the latter should be fortunate enough to have any cabinet jobs to hand out. Well, if he is, those who are crying for war will get it very likely and a dern lot quicker than you want it. How any one can turn from Wilson, the careful, wise ■ ; and safe man. as the head of the government, who has guided safely through troubled waters, the ship of state, kept us out of war and kept the machinery running smoothly, so that we are now the most prosperous i ever known -how any one can turn, v.t- say. from this great man, to anyone backed by the wild and woolly Roosevelt, who admits that he favors ! a turmoil, is more than we can understand. Wilson is the friend to all | tin- people and has proven it. What i more can you want?- We believe the ! president will be re-elected and will carry nearly every state in the union. to to to — w. to to to to to to to toto to w to_to* i DOINGS IS WQETY | i-, to to to .... ,tototo>«.. to to nn • * . — *— ...... ~ •• >• to ».
