T hird District X KO|I8:UI SCHU HITZ PUT DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: — Every man who votes for Woodrow Wilson for president should vote for the democratic candidates for congress and for the senate in his congressional district and state. Woodrow Wilson’s candidacy today rests , upon his record of progressive achievement and its guarantee to complete this record by applying the , new progressive laws fairly and efficiently. When you vote for Wilson " I OUR BOYS I DEPARTMENT ( Is full of good things for thatschool boy in the ‘ way of a suit or 1 overcoat. In every style and fabric. Also a complete line of boys Makinaws. $3.50 to $8.50 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY I

you vote for hts progressive policies and deeds. When you vote for members of congress, you should vote for men who (1) have voted Tor Wilson’s , progressive policies and deeds and who (2) will vote in the house and senate to support, carry out and carry on these progressive policies anil deeds. Il was a democratic congress that put through the record of achievement. Another democratic congress Is absolutely necessary to continue, apply and complete the j good work. * Everybody is invited to hear Dick I Miller at the Democratic Club rooms this evening -and of course, that means the ladies. Governor Ralston will address the , voters of this vici.ii.y at the court bouse one week from to: ’gilt. Let’s make it a rousing close c.’ the campaign. Hon. Dick Miller, one of the be t known business men in the state, , bond dealer, head of a haif-dozv n business concerns, a leader of affairs, will be the principal speaker at the democratic club meeting tonight and the public is invited to hear him. The republican Founty chariman at Gary told Mr. O’Laughlin of the Chicago Herald that it is a hard job to fight against a "full stomach." indicating that thh outlook in that section where so much labor is employed is none too bright for the g. o. p. The millionaires are still backing Hughes and they ought to. He is their friend —tried and true. Every millionaire in Adams county should get out and fight for him and by the same rule tlje rest of the voters ought to get out and work just as persistently against him. BE SI RE TO HEAR DICK MILLER, THE INDIANAPOLIS BUSINESS MAN. WHO SPEAKS AT THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB ROOMS TONIGHT. HE IS A SPLENDID TALKER. A MAN OF GREAT EXPERIENCE, AND HIS TALK WILL BE WORTH HEARING. Tip- owners of the Bowser plant at Fort Wayne, it is reported, are trying to dictate to their men how they shall vote and are assessing those who hold the best jobs in an effort to raise money for the Hughes campaign. The effort will be resented by the laboring men over this section, who recognize the fact that they enjoy greater liberty artd better laws than ever and an administration that is fair with them —and that’s all they ask. Hughes money is in hiding in New York, though thousands of dollars js being offered even on the Broad street curb, and it will be remembered that only a fortnight ago the Fort Wayne News was contending that one could tell by watching those who bet as a business, how the tide was going. Well, it certainly has turned toward Wilson and it’s going to keep right on getting stronger. The people do not feel like making a change, especially when there is at least some danger of war. During the past three years, the department of agriculture estimate of annual production of farm wealth shows an average of $10,000,000,060 as aganlst somewhat less than $9,000,000,000 per annum during the. Taft admiustration and a little over $7,000,000.000 during the Roosevelt administration. This prosperity of the American farmer places a strong and enduring foundation under the entire national fabric, of business activity—and is greatest under democratic laws. Gosh, even lowa is going democratic! John Callan O’Laughltn. the Chicago Herald's special writer, is the authority. He Is making a trip over that usually strong republican state and be finds the farmers and laborers strongly in favor of the president on the grounds of peace and prosperity—pledges made good rather than weak promises. After giving a number of conversations which show liow he got 'his impressions, he closes with this: ’ So far aS I have gone into low*. I cai impressed by the fact that the at-

mosphere is all Wilson. "’lie's kept us out of war,' is having u certain effect in this state also. •’ ’And don't forgot,' snid a former, who told me he voted for Wilson in 1912. and would vote for hint again, ‘that the republicans only carried the governorship two years ago by a majority of 1,900 votes. The people here ure even more independent now than they were then. Therefore. I think Wilson will carry the state.’ "So, there you ore.” E::r. iss: suzixuwwjaacc;: ®hkx i : DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Thursday. Presbyterian Aid—Mrs. H. S. Michaud.

Vocal and instrumental music by the Misses Opal and Alice Fetters of Geneva pleased all. and Miss Alice also played the march for the luncheon. The plates, with their appropriate place cards were set in the diningroom table and around this the assembly marched until they found their plates and carried them to the other rooms where Hie appetizing repast, prepared by Mrs. Moran was eaten. Favors were littie yellow pumpkin face bowls filled with candles. The room decorations were in harmony with the occasion, being tn the colors of yellow and black, and the lights hooded in these shales, made the setting a very pretty one. The party was one of the prettiest and most enjoyable of the season.

The play was made famous in this country by Mary An- * derson, but will be new' to our thea ■ ter-goers of today. Perhaps nowhete in literature or in stage-lore 'an I there lie found two greater chara ters from a point of acting than “The statue" and "The Wife,” the dual . role which Miss Stewart portray in 1 "The Sculptor’s Dream,” and for this reason alone, if no other, has this play been the piece de resistance of many of our famous stars of the past, and Miss Stewart’s offering, aside ’ front her own presence, promises the play-goers something far cut of th" 1 ordinary, if not surpassing anythin-; of the kind in the hffitory of the house. Miss Stewart will be support--1 ed by a very capable company, sev- ■ oral members of which have hdld prominent positions with some of the ' best attractions of the Two leading men will be in cast.

Once upon n time Edwin Putnam, i. who lives in the quiet, pretty .hamlet ■- of Wernle] Depot, Mass., < limed up >n- - to a loft to get some building material, '. just as many another man living in the country must often do. Suddenly S he slipped and fell. Ten feet below ' was a pile of wood, knotted and gnarls ed. It was a nasty tumble, and Mr. ’ Putnam was injured painfully in the back, he was covered with bruises, and was sore from head to foot.
