Dick Miller, a leading business man of Indianapolis, will address the voters of this section at the club rooms tomorrow evening.

should be of interest to the voters >f this section and you are urged to hear him. The Germans of the country are j getting onto the curves of the republicans and Just Ln time. They realize | that the most of the dope that has been sent out by the republicans is tor political purposes only and they are taking it with a grain of salt or rather with several grains. A. A. Rothengass. whv is speaking to the Germans of this community, atta<ks in no uncertain words the socalled leaders who have sold out to : the republicans and of whom he claims eight out of twelve are plain, ' every-day crooks. He is a splendid speaker and has pleased those who heard him. Senator Kern said yestc:d..;, when asked about the outlook: “It looks good, almost too good, if the trend to the democrats keeps up the majority for Wilson and Marshall will be almost unanimous. Even Illinois and Michigan seem to have joined the procession and will give their electoral vote to Mr. Wilson. It's wonderful. and it’s the year I have been hoping for all my life.” The Berne boys did themselves proud last night and their barbecue was one of the most successful events of the campaign in this county. The dinner was great, the chairman was just right and kept things going in a lively fashion, the speakers were in fine form and the meeting was all that could be asked for. The Berne boys are active this year and will make a record worth while on November 7th. In Illinois, as in other sections, the ’billion dollar train" of the Hughes Women’s Alliance has set the people thinking. The lavish sartorial exhibitions. the elaborate breakfasts and lunches, the general air of luxury that goes with this train have been given such publicity that the people throughout that section have had it brought home to them that these women campaigners represent the moneyed interests of Wall street. Fred L. Feick, president of the American Legislative and Educational association, has issued an appeal to the working meu and women of Indiana to support President Wilson. He says labor is confronted wfth the greatest crisis in its history and warns the working people to beware of false statements that are being circulated by the republican party, a party that has never passed legislation in the interest of the wage earning men and women of this country. Senator John Worth Kern is .the same old war horse that he was thiri ty years ago omy bigger and broader. His speech here yesterday was a powerful one for President Wilson and the democratic ticket and his speeches over the state have beoi strong arguments for the administration. His position as democratic leader of the senate has given him the opportunity to know President Wilson as few meu know him and he says he wishes it were possible for every one to know him as he does. He declares President Wilson the most courageous and wisest statesman he has ever - known, which takes in an army of great men. Senator Kern is a powerful factor in governmental affairs and his address here was one of much interest and did, we believe, great good. John Callan- O’Laughlin, special writer fft- the Chicago Herald, has just completed a trip over Indiana in which he lias found much Wilson sentiment. He tells of his conversation with numerous men whom he met. A section boss told him that he had thirty men working for him and they wifi vote twenty-seven for Wilson and three for Hughes, only the Hughes men can’t vote because they didn’t register. Farmers, laborers, business men favor the president with an occasional one tor Mr. Hughes, but his story sifted down is told in the following paragraph with which he closes: “On form, the republican ticket should win; yet at this junetdre there is a ground swell tor Wilson little short of remarkable, and it is large-

ly due to the existing prosperity and to, the belief that ‘he has kept us out of war.' ” . .juia 1 b DOINGS IN SOCIETY b 2: a c accaaa *.:c ccr. ® a::;: a arx! ? WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Wednesday. S.

A clever suggestion of the approach ing Hallowe’en season was mahif-s’ in the decorations of the dining room at the Hensley home last evening when at six o’clock a luncheon war given by Mrs. T. M. Reid. Mrs. J. S Peterson and Mrs. D. M. Henscley preliminary to an evening at cards There were thirteen tables forth ‘ sixty-one guests.

THE SCULPTOR’S DREAM A Bld COMEDY. What i« certain to prove one of the most Important theatrical events of the season, If not in the history of the town, will he the engagement of the distinguished artist, May Stewart, und her company at the opera house Saturday night. October 28, in an elabobate production of the laugha ble comedy, ’’’i ffe Sculptor’s Dream." by W. S. Gilbert, author of the comic operas. “Pinafore” and “Mikado.” It was only because of the company having an open date that this attraction was secured for Decatur, as Miss Stewart is playing higher prices than has been the custom here. But for this open date the management has agreed to make only a very few at the dollar and eliminate the |1.50 price entirely. The story of "The Sculptor’s Dream” is one of intense •interest, abounding in several thrilling dramatic situations, as well as many very extravagant comedy scenes that will interest all classes of play goers. The scene is laid in ancient Greece, back in the days of mythology about 500. years B. ('., during a period that gives scope for some very spectacular costuming. Much interest is being manifested in the school in the special curtain raiser at which Miss Stewart has agreed to give four scenes from Shakespeare's masterpiece, “Macbeth.” o TO THE LABORING MEN The laboring people have an opportunity to vote for a candidate thi; year, who is a matY of the people, a man of heart, scul and intellect, thoroughly acquainted with their needs and their wants, and who can place his hand upon the heating of the Nation, diagnose Is . case, judc of its disease, and administer the proper remedy. A man who lias place 1 principle above policy, humanity above the dollar, whose’ character i so high, and whose reputation is so good, that the misrepresentations of the press cannot tarnish it. and the Republican campaign speakers cannot assail it. I regard the Adamson eight-hour-wage-law the greatest piece of legi. - lation ever enacted, which will be of everlasting l|enefit to the working people of this country. Woodrow Wilson deserves the support of every wage earner in this country, and it is your duty to stand by the man. who has keep this nation out of war. and given to the people—peace, prosperity and conteti • ment. FRED I/. FEICK, Indianapolis. Ind. TAKES OWN LIFE Van Wert, O„ Oct. 24—Adjusting a noose about his neck Harry Ditlerhaver, a prominent real estate min. formerly of Preble, Ind., lurched off a woodpile in the barn on the rear of the premises of his mother-in-law, Mrs. J. J. Rupwright, early Monday morning and strangled himself to death. The body was discovered by Mrs. Rupwright. Life was extinct when neighbors answered Mrs. Rupwright's call for help and cut down the body. Dittenhaver, who was 56 years cf age, had been in bad health for several years and recently his mind b< - gan failing. A week ago he accompanied- the body of his father-in-law, J. J. Rupwright, from Chicago to Van Wert and remained in this city. Early Monday morning he went to the second floor of the barn and cutting t >vo holes in the floor let a rope through them and then going downstairs again fixed it about his neck. His feet were touching the woodpile when rite body was found. His financial standing was excellent. He lived for years at Paulding. 0., and recently moved to Preble when he retired from business because of failing health. ♦ “BLUE GRASS” A story of the famous blue grass region of Kentucky, showing some of the finest horses for which that section is noted. Woven throughout the play is a beautiful story of love intrigue and a final climax is provided in which the hero gets the girl. But you ought to see how he does it, therefore you ought to be at the Crystal tonight when this beautiful sconnic play is flashed upon the screen, MASQUERADE THURSDAY.

1 - 111 DRAWS WONDERFUL PICTURE OF WILSON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 1 heard. Can you say that of any rcf publican session? For purposes of illustration of the 0 steam reiler methods used by Galiinf ger. Smoot. Root and other republi--0 can ringmasters Senator Kern used ' the child labor law. Albert J. Beveridge for eight years ’■ fought for a child labor law. He ■ never got his bill past committee. The T bosses saw to that. Albert J. made K wonderful speeches on the floor, he got out among the people and talked ■ for his bill, but despite the great s sentiment in favor of such a law the J republican congress refused to pass it. Now consider the democratic side. ’ Congress was tired and about to adjourn. The democratic platform had promised such a law. Woodrow WilI- son made a trip to address a joint session of congress. "Boys” he said, “we ought to pass this law. We g promised it and it ought to be done” t- Congress got busy and within two 1. weeks a child labor law, even more ff stringent titan any Albert J. ever prof posed was passed. That's how the democratic party has kept faith with y the people. o In sharp contrast with the evasive, y meaningless statements of Charles t Evans Hughes on questions that i- might-have a "come-back” consider n thoilghl'ully the platform upon which John Worth Kern stands — f “I follow the policies of Woodrow ■. Wilson and I propose to stand by . them!” There, you have it.
