— ' A BOOST FOR SENATOR TAGGART:— 1 United States Senator Atloe Pomerene, of Ohio, han written a letter to Senator Willard Saulsbury in which he aaya. "Senator Thomae Taggart is one of the now members of the senate, having been appointed to succeed the late lamented Senator Benjamin F. Shively, who served his state with such great distinction in both the senate and the house "Senator Taggart came to Washington as a well known political leader and business man in his state. It was only necessary for Senator Taggart to be in the senate a few weeks until he had impressed every member of that chamber with his uniform courtesy, his dear business judgment and his courageous statesmanship. "No senator has been more active in looking after the affairs of his constituency and in advocating the strictest economy in all nubile expenditures, consistent with gt ;.;1 public service. "He had won his place In the councils of his party long before he entered the senate. Senators on both sides of the chamber are always glad to have his views on any subject of legislation or administration whi< h comes before them. His courage, his great business ability, his patriotism • and his love for his fellowmen*'cannot be questioned. "Indiana will surely continue to honor itself by returning Senator Taggart to represent that great state in the senate of the United States.” Want to keep your boy at home? Vote for Wilson. What is the matter with conditions upder present policies? You can't improve them. You might make them much worse. Mr. Dick Miller of Indianapolis, well known bond dealer, big businfwe man and a splendid campaign speaker. will address the Young Voters' club in this city Thursday night and you are invited to hear him. Compare John Adair’s record with that of his opponent. Compare the two men from any angle you wish and if you are square about it you will admit that Mr. Adair is best prepared to give you ap able administration. And he does not own a dollar in any public utility company. —— — — i. ii Te republican press is frantically trying to stem the tide towards President Wilson and the more they try the worse they make it. They are now resorting to ugly language, untrue charges and are making claims they know are absurd, but the voters refuse to be stampeded. Woodrow Wilson stands for peace with honor, for prosperity that will continue, for you and your neighbor, for every citizen of America all the time. He is for the man who works and he has given this nation more real legislation than all the presidents' combined for fifty years. He is deserving of your vote on November 7th. __ And this is truth: — “The democratic organ in explaining its straw vote says: ‘At the beginning of the canvass Hughes had the better of it by a ratio of 3 to 2. Wilson’s steady gain indicates the general trend and it is expected he will show larger gains.’ Yes, indeed, it is generally expected that the Hughes Vote will not show at all in the returns as election day approaches.—lndianapolis Star. Betting is now said to favor President Wilson, the odds in New York being ten to eight that he will be reelected, while in Washington. Indianapolis and other places odds are reported as high as two to one. One bet of |SOO to 250 was made at Indianapolis and several smaller ones. It is said that many who posted bets on Hughes arg now covering up to prevent heavy losses. k — We are advising citizens to vote , for the democratic officials in national, state and county governments because they are getting better govern- [ ment than our experience with re- ■ publican officials teaches would be I the case if republicans displaced them November 7th. Make it a victory for genuine government by the people, for the people.' The democratic banner is the safest.—Chicago Examiner. Hou. A. A Rothengass of Chicago a wonderful campaigner, a man who

has had great Experience in the big I problems, and who knows how to tell them in the most interesting way., is speaking in this county. He addressed a large crowd at Preble last evening, will speak at Williams to- , night and at Freidheim tomorrow ! night. He speaks fluently in German as well as English and his message is one tat every voter should hear. L '■!■«■ If by any surprising turn of fortune Mr. Hughes should be elected president he will owe it to Roosevelt, and in that event, Mr. Roosevelt will be either secretary of state or control the policy of the administration. With Roosevelt controlling our foreign policy, it would not be twelve months until we were at war with Germany. Every man who wants Roosevelt ar- secretary of state and war with German should vote for Hughes.—Newcastle Times. By the way—what has become of the Adamson law as a campaign issue. It has faded away like the flow ers of summer. The republicans, even including the distinguished candidate for president, started off to make this the big issue. They succeeded in placing a million or more laboring men squarely against the republicans —in other words they showed their hand and now they have dropped the railrflad measure a,nd have given orders that other speakers should. They have likewise "changed their hues” on about every proposition they have started on and if they could muzzle Roosevelt and his war cry they would be better satisfied. Os all the wobbling, meaningless campaigns ever made in this country the one staged by the republicans this year, wins in a walk. Just why any man should cast his vote for Mr. Hughes is difficult to un derstand and we don’t believe that many will. He and the speakers supporting him Jtave gone over the country attacking the Adamson law and thoroughly convincing the public where they stand as regards labor. Backed by the millionaires of the nation they are opposed to any law which fixes wages or hours for the man who works with his hands. In addition to this Mr. Roosevelt and a few others are declaring a doctrine that every one recognizes would mean war at the first crisis.. Do yon prefer peace or war? Are you for the laboring man or against him? These are the big issues which have come out of the present campaign. If yon want peace with tonor and continued prosperity the answer is— WILSON. sscziKir. cnccnc ’.izszocisna: ”, § DOINGS IN SOCIETY p —> >.«>• I. I—wl >. 1..*..." .. — J ... .•«•• .'
