Let’s make it unanimous. This is the year when every voter should forget his partisanship and vote the democratic ticket. President Wilson has proven on every occasion that he is tiie friend of the people, is able, honest and worthy, and is deserving of your vote. Betting odds at Indianapolis are now ten to eight favoring Hughes. Two weeks ago it was three to one. Those who think and study the indications are agreed that there can be .

[’[but one result the reelection of Wil son, whose record as president has '* 1 been a marvelous one. . — Tfiie millionaire train carrying a • [ crowd of diamond-bedecked women t from New York which has been touring the west, will stop-at indianapf • oils for a meeting on the 31st and the republicans are very much worried at to the result. Just how they can 3 J j do any good is hard to understand and ‘ s they may do a lot of harm for the 1 g: o. p. i — i ii ■■■ I ... i i The country is prosperous. We are not at war with any European nation. Armed intervention has been averted with Mexico. The tariff is so satisfactory that even the republi<an leaders cannot successfully attack it. What do you want? Aren’t 1 you really satisfied down deep in your heart? Why make a cha.'.y.'? Let’s stand for Wilson—the man who t did it! President Hughes continues to travel in his eleven-coach solid Pullman train, stopping occasionally in his pleasant travels to tell the laboring man and the farmer and the business fellow why knows what it is to ! work with his bands that he ought to vote against President Wilson, not for any particular reason except that i he ought to have the job —and he - promises nothing in the way <>4 betterment for any man's condition. Judge Jacob F. Denney, democratic candidate for congress in this disi triet. will wpeak at Monroe tomorrow evening, at Magley Wednesday evening and at Decatur Thursday evening. Every voter should hear him and i should remember that it is highly im- > portant that President Wilson have • i with him a democratic congress and *j senate. Judge Denney will tell you i his position on the various important i problems of the day and you are inI vited to hear him. H — ■'l In one of .the strongest statements of the campaign, F. D. Underwood, ’ president of the Erie railroad, one of ackes of this nation. ■. gives an authorized interview in - which he declares unequivocally in fa- • vor of Presiuent Wilson. He says he ? has accomplished the seemingly im- • possible and he has convinced liim- • self that the thing to do is to leave • J well enough alone and not to change • horses in the middle of the stream. • He takes up each issue separately, says tire eight-hour law is here to ■ stay, that the president’s tariff |om- ; missioh is a common sense, muchneeded accomplishment, and further: "in my opinion the fight against Presi jdent Wilson has no larger aspect than a greatly uiipiUziotic clamor of the ‘qptß’ for possession of the things now in the hands of the ‘ins.’ ” Only three weeks more in which to I put the finishing touches to the presidential campaign. They* will be busy weeks for every worker and will, it is confidently believed, place ' President Wilson far in the lead. Every northern state is placed now by the big papers, Chicago Herald and American. New York Herald, Boston papers and others engaged in taking straw polls as either certain for the president or doubtful and the swing , toward Wilson is certain to continue. It seems an assured fact that Ohio will join the Wilson column this year, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the western states, Mas- • sachusetts, Connecticut and other states are extremely doubtful, they say. while Indiana, New York, West Virginia. New Jersey and others are from every indication rushing toward a safe place in the democratic columns. If you tiave not made up your 3 mind, do it now. Join the party of peace and prosperity. .

UwS /"""A k'. » <■.. ' i s the twentieth century, means of settling disputes. In time, Arbitration should supplant war in deciding differences between great nations. Acceptance of the I principle of Arbitration will render great industrial strikes impossible —and even minor differences will come to be settled by this means. Impartial judges can be counted upon to render fair decisions. To impartial judges of roofing, we will always be I willing to leave decision as to the comparative merits of roofings, confident that intelligent investigation will result in a decision for Certain-teed Roofing An investigation into methods of manufacturing would show that only the best quality of roofing felts is used in CERTAIN-TEED roofing. This is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft aaphalts—the formula of the General’s Board of Expert Chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which forms an impervious coating and prevents the inner saturation from drying out. This explains why CERTAIN-TEED outlives ordinary roofing, and why it is possible to guarantee it for 5,10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). The responsibility of the world’s largest manufacturer of roofings and building papers is behind this guarantee; which if conservative, as experience proves that CERTAIN-TEED outhves the period of guarantee. The General makes one third of America’s supply of asphalt roll roofing. His facilities arc unequaled, and he is able to produce th© highest quality roofing at the lowest manufacturing cost. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in a slate-surfaced shingles. T here is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every kind of building, v i'h flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out building. CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers all over the world, at reasonable prices. Investigate it before you decide on any type of roof. Genera!
