So will George Bittier, state treasurer, and there will be a big parade preceding the meeting. Come in. The biggest event of the campaign —the Ralston meeting Thursday night. Join one of the delegations and help make the noise that will wake the old community up to the importance of this campaign. Tlie following is from Village Gossig in the Cincinnati Post: “I was reading a 'Life of Abraham Lincoln’ the other day. He made his campaign for.re-election in 1864. The popular cry of his opponents was that he was ‘weak and vaccilating.’ That’s all.” If those who think the railroaders are returning to the Hughes fold will slip down to Fort Wayne tomorrow evening and attend the meeting to be held at Moose hall when Mr. Lee, president of the four brotherhoods will deliver an address, OUR BOYS DEPARTMENT Is full of good things, for that school boy in the way of a suit or overcoat. In every style and fabric. Also a complete line of boys Makinaws. $3.50 to $8.50 THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

they will change their minds. All laboring men are invited and urged to attend. Get the truth. The Daily Times at Indianapolis heard that the republicans were claiming that many railroad men wfre working for Mr. Hughes, so they started out to find out why, and they djtl. They published yesterday a facsimile of a ci. >ck issued to C B. Walters for s2'«.ffi». which he admitted was the cause for his bluff and a further nivestigation leadp them to make the statement that the Indiana committee has spent about a half million dollars doing similar misslonhry work. If you have read the speech made by President Wilson at Cincinnati and then compared i . ith bne of the wild harangues of Mr. R evolt you will readily understand v the wise ones are predußing that the president will receive ten million votes in the coming election. Mr. Wilson stands tor. world wide peace and w ill make an effort to secure that end, while Mr. Roosevelt says he will fight at the drop of a Ijat. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, MR. VOTER? This is Wilson Day in A&erica when you are expected to display a picture of the president and to wear a small Hag. The president gave an address at Shadow’ Lawn today ami his progressive ideas and wonderful hopes for the future should be read aloud in every home in this country. The message is given on the first page of this paper. Read It carefully and study it well and you will recognize the greatness and the bigacss of the man who is serving you as president and for whom you can vote to serve you four years longer on November 7th. W'e believe the people of this country recognize his fitness

for the high place and that he will receive the largest popular vote ever given to any man in this country. We will enter Monday upon the closing week of one of the greatest camiMaigns this country has ever hud and there is but another week in which to finish the fight for the reelection of Woodrow Wilson, acknowledged by republicas as well as demwrats to have made the greatest record of any president in half a century. Wilson stands for the people, for peace and prosperity, for Mr. Voter whether you be farmer mer» . chant or laborer. Will you vote 'against the man who wants to help you aiffl is ableto do it? We don't believe you will. The meetings held the i«st week over this county were the most enthusiastic in twenty year.’, the school houses being crowded aad the enthusiasm evident on every hand. Another week of this kind of work and we will roll up the biggest majority ever given in Adams county. Help to make it a land slide. You are only helping yourself when you de it. i 1 — The democrat believes that society w%a built from the bottom, the aristocrat thinks society is suspended from the top. The democrat says: Legislate for all the people, for he believes .that the prosperity of the masses will find its way up through all the classes thnt rest upon the masses. The aristocrat, believing that society is suspended from the top. says, and he says it honestly for he believesJt: Legislate for the well-to-do and then be patient and wait until their prosperity leaks through on those below. This explains why Mr. Hughes took the side of the railroads on the two-cent farebill. why he ‘vetoed the bill giving the poor of New York a five cent rate

to Coney Island, why he took the side of the big lax dodgers on the income tax amendment, why he took the side of the shipping trust on the new shipping liuv, and why he has taken the side of the railroad managers against the inert who asked for an eight-hour day. And it explains, also, why Mr. Wilson has taken the people's side on all questions. Will you vote to take the government out of the hands of Mr. Wilson and his progressive supporters, and turn it over to Mr. Hughes and his reactionary friends?

WAYNE. “The Bird of Paradise," Richard Walton Tully's love story of the Hawaiian Islands, produced by Oliver Morosco, will play its first engagement at the Majestic. Fort Wayne, on Saturday, matinee and night, November 4th. Mr. Tully has written the story ot the lives of two men and two women; one, a little dark-skinned princess, I meets a white man. they fall in lovej and marry. She boasts she can hold her white husbands five through her lips and arms, but learns, like many 4

'others, that love of that nature is not| lasting, and when he tires of her, she returns to her people and her native religion and gives herself as a hir* man sacrifice to save her people from destruction. On the other hand, the other woman, an American, meets a drunken beach-comber, becomes interested in him, and through her good infiuonce he takes his place among his fellow men again. These four people form the basic theme of Mr. Tully's play, and while the story is tragic, lie has introduced many dashes of humor, both native and American. Manager Morosco has made five women famous in the part of Luana, the poor little Hawaiiap girl, and this season he will present Miss May Buckley, an actress well known to Broadway and seen here in several New York successes. Others in the cast are David Landau, the I original beach-comber: Ethel Remey, I as the American girl; Forest Stanley, as the cad husband of Luana; Laura Adams as the foster mother; Robert E. Morris as Captain Hatch, the Yankee trader; Janies Nelson, as the high priest; James Applebee, as the missionary; Fanny Yantis, his wife; Mabel Emerson, as an Hawaiian girl; John Gribner as the Hamaiian lover, and a quintette of native Hawaiian singers and players, who are one of the chief features of the play. From the rise of the curtain until the final fall, scenery "plays an important part, th* last scene showing Mt. Kilauea in volcanic eruption and Luana's death is a wonderful piece of stage mechanism.

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT TO HIS COUNTRYMEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) world thrown back upn themselves f (1 discouragement and confusion. The programme remaining is 13 great as the programme accomplish, ed. The procedure of our courts la ' antiquated and a hindrance, not a U ' aid, in the just administration of the law. must simplify and reform it ’ as other enlightened nations ha-e ■ done, and mske courts qf justice out ’ of our courts of law. We must seek and find the means of bringing ,«pi. tai and labor to a clegr understand. 1 ing of their common interests, which 1 are nu other than the interests of the nation itself as a community. We must release our great undeveloped k natural resources upon some sensihh plan of use and conservation. \y,» must recruit the votes of forward-look-ing men by the votes of women so that we may have a fresh insight in all matters of social reform and move . more certainly and more promptly In the solution of the many new prole Jems of society with which the law must henceforth deal. We must unite the Americas. North and South, in a new sympathy and cooperation. We must seek justice and the right through every channel that offers; and we must put America in ail its force, in all its wealth, alike of physical power and spiritual enthusiasm, |at the service of the other nations : of the world when peace comes on the ’ other side of the seas, to make that 1 peace permanent by establishing it 5 on the everlasting foundations of s right, cooperation, equality and justice. These things we must do and ail else that may serve mankind., f And our motto must be "COOPER. 1 ATION,” the union, not the hostile - rivalry, of the forces of society within the nation and within the family of nations. The interests of mankind oan never again be served by aggression, the interest of no nation or r group of nations can ever again be t served by aggression. The contests -of jealousy are as bitter and as dan- ■ gerous as the contests of arms. The world must henceforth seek ihn means of arresting quarrels merely. The nation we love and serve must be among the first and foremost of • those jtliat rise to the new ideals with • spirit and weR-directed force. Our own reforms, our own actions in the interest of justice and humanity must be the earnest of our spirit and purpose in the affairs of the world outside our own borders. Such is the prospect, such is the programme. my fellow-citizens, to which we look forward, to which it is <ur purpose to mve forw-ard with enthusiasm and irresistible ardor. We will not pause in the midst of our task. 1 We know that we stand at one of the • most critical junctures in the his--1 tory of the world, when all hopes hang in the balance. )Ve will suffer 1 no man. no body of men, through tint--1 idity or fear or jealousy, to delay or hinder or embarrass us. Reaction can have no place of tolerance amongst us when all the world waits upon those who” plan justice and progress. I summon you, not only to sustain, but to swell the hosts that have their faces now set towards th>light, their eyes lifted to the horizons where the dawn of a new age begins to brighten; and 1 sunitm 11 you with confidence, with a certain .expectation of the part America and her great people are to play when the dawn broadens into day.
