Voters of Adams county should register next Monday. If you don’t you can't■ vote. Every one must register either bv affidavit or in person and there is nt backing up. In other counties this is not necessary, but here you must register whether you have done so before or not. Don't overlook it or you lose your vote. Monday is the day when you MUST REGISTER or you cannot vote in November. Judge Shockney of Union City is stumping Randolph county and is telling some truths that Jim Goodrich would much prefer kept in the dark and shady background, but the truths will out. President Wilson stands for peace with honor. Mr. Hughes, backed by Roosevelt and others of his belief, are for war as a settlement of inter national questions. Which do you prefer? You will answer the question by your vote in November. You are promised war on the least provocation by voting for Hugnhs. and by no less a person than the boisterous Theodore the first. Is t any wonder that the people are going wild over President Wilson and that his tours over the country are the most enthusiastic ever know'll? An old-time political worker asked us last night if he had to register. He certainly does and SO DO YOU IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER. Now get jt into your head—EVERY VOTER IN ADAMS COUNTY MUST REGISTER* MONDAY OR YOU CAN T VOTE IN NO VEMBER. Even the Indianapolis News confesses that President Wilson in his Omaha speceh expressed the right idea of international questions. They know he is right but for some unknown and unaccountable reason they are now working hand in hand with Roosevelt whom they have denounc- | ed for years and who will be the big man behind Hughes if the latter Is

Dick Miller, one of the biggest business men of the state, on the 26th and Governor] Ralston on November 2nd. There will be a half dozen others in the meantime and added his will be speeches by local men ami others of state reputation in the various towns and precincts of the county. The fight is on and the democrats s are going out to win. ■- 1 ■ Judge Arthur G. Wray, organizer of tlie progressive party in New York. ! announced yesterday his stand for Wilson. C. A. Hawkins, a Califor- ' nia republican, who attended the Taft-Roosevelt love feast, is another wiio was converted to Wilson and is going home to work for him and there are hundreds of others. Better get on tlie wagon, boys, and work for the man who is trying to do just what you have always wanted done! Hats off to the young ladies of the Delta Theta Tau Sorority, who made it possible for Adams county to be represented in the state pageant at Indianapolis Rijs week. They did tlie work, raised tlie money, planned Hie float, sent Miss Marie Connell as the delegate and she did her work perfectly. It was a worth-while job and we are proud of these young ladies who placed Decatur and Adams county' on the map in the big state celebration. Senator Oscar Underwood, Attorney General Stotsenberg. Meredith Nicholson, Senator Kern, Dick Miller and Vice President Marshall are all dated for speeches at Fort Wayne during tlie next month, showing that tlie democrats of Fort Wayne and the Twelfth district are a bunch of live wires who are up on their tip toes. Every voter in this country is going to know the real issues of thiscampaign from a democratic viewpoint before election day and the great majority of them will vote right on November 7th. Miss Mary Antin, one of iiie women on the Hughes’ crusade who are touring the country in a billion dollar parade, said in her speech at South Bend: "If the best Mr. Wilson can do is to keep us out of war he had better take a vacation.” • Do you think she would make a statement if she had sons to send to that war? Can it be possible that this nation will vote for a war to please a few millionaire investors and i their well dressed and diamond bedecked wives and daughters? Americans in this day and age should feel "•* 'i"”- .. 'Ji ii . ■ ;

\ heartily ashamed of such an issue in a campaign. , Tho» following letter written by G. W. Sharp appeared in a recent issue Os the Grand Rapids Press and is the truth: "Editor of The Press: Candidate Hughes It seems to me is the subject of much undeserved censure. Let us not forget that he is placed in quite a predicament. He is the nominee of a great political party, a due proportion of whose members are out of office and want to get back in. In behalf of these and the expectant beneficiaries of a prospective republican tariff he is doing battle. It is not his fault that the work of the administration at Washington has left him without a well defined and important issue; not his fault, for instance, that it has by diplomacy kept our country out of the shambles in which Europe finds itself; not his fault that at the same time we have been enjoying unprecedented prosperity; not his fault that he is not convincing when he says this prosperity can’t be lasting without a high tariff, for the intelligent voter well knows that all three of our panics since the civil war came when a high tariff was on the statute books and two of them in a republican administration; not his fault that his appeal to progressives for support falls because of their knowledge of the Wilson administration has caused to be enacted more and bigger reform and progressive legislation than any other administration in half a century. "Really Mr. Hughes is more to he pitied than blamed for his poor shownig. His task is indeed a hard one.”

IN THE WAR ZONE . (United Press Service) Newport, R. 1., Oct. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The German submarine U-56 arrived in port here tills afternoon. She is not a freighter. She was officially identified by tlie United States officiate. London, Oct. 7 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —A fresli Roumanian expedition has crossed the Danube into Burgaria said a wireless- dispatch from Rome this morning reporting that tlie Dobrucja battle had been resumed with great violence. Berlin. Oct. 7—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Subscriptions to tlie fifth German war lonn totalled about $2,397.5<>0,0500 according to unofficial tabulations made today. This is but slightly below the amount raised for the fourtli war loan made last spring. Berlin. Oct. 7—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Roumanians have lost 50,000 men in the last two weeks of fighting in Transylvania, where they suffered two decisive defeats at the hands of the Germans. Budapest dispatches today asserted that home of the crack regiments of Rouniania’s army have been entirely wiped out. 11l trained troops are not topposing the German’s victorious march against the army that invaded Transylvania. Petrograd. Oct. 7 —(Special to the Daily Dejnocrat)—An American citizen was killed in one of the German air raids on Bucharest, said a dispatch received here today and the American minister has wired details to the state department.

C., Oct. 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Liklihood of the United States government acting as a prominent factor to bring peace to the belligerent nations of Europe is losing credence, according to the general belief in official circles on the eve of Ambassador Gerard’s return to this country from Berlin. The president evidently knows nothing of the report that Ambassador Gerard is bringing with him to this country a request of the German government to intercede in behalf of peace, but there is a strong belief in official circles that the president will consider no further moves either directly or indirectly offering his good offices unless such a plea is made openly by one or more of the belligerent na NAMED FOR PROBATE JUDGE. John Custer, formerly of Pleasant Mills, for several years a resident at Wren, Ohio, where he conducts a lumber yard, was nominated yesterday by the democratic central committee of Van -Wert county, as the candidate for probate judge of that county. The office is similar to county clerk in this state. John Custer is a democrat of the Jeffersonian brand, a fine young man, a hustler, who will get all the votes coming to him and his election in that close county is predicted by those who know him. His Adams county friends are pulling hard for his success. FUNERAL SUNDAY. Funeral services for Paul Kraft, year and a half-old son of Charles Kraft, who died yesterday afternoon,’ will be held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 from the home, and at 2 o’clock from the Fuelling Lutheran church. i
