PRESIDENT WILSON STANDS FOR PEACE AND CONTINUED PROSPERITY. DO YOU? . . A vote for President Wilson next Tuesday is a vote to keep your boy at heme and the country prosperous. The Fatherland, a pro-German paper. says this weak that unless Mr. Hughes disapproves the expressions of hate made by Roosevelt, the next president will not be the republican candidate. • Mr. Voter, seriously, can you afford a change in administration? You admit, that times never were so good, that the administration is largely responsible for that fact, that a change means doubt as to results. Why not let good times ride along another four years? GOVERNOR RALSTON OF INDIANA WILL BE TUB PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT THE THURSDAY NIGHT RALLY HERE. DELEGATIONS ARE COMING FROM EVERY PART OF THE COUNTY AND THE EVENT PROMISES TO BE A TENTIME , WINNER.

PUSH. EVERYBODY IS FOR WILSON. WHY NOT YOU? . ar Every straw vote taken shows that Mr. Wilson will win next Tuesday and yet the republicans gp on making claims that sound foolish. The expected hold-up of the Wilson landslide h’as gone the other way, and every indleatidn is that it will keep on and that Mr. Wilson's re-election will be practically unanimous. Let every man work. It means'much to you, Mr. Voter, to continue the present administration. Don t vote agaiS t yourself. The republicans are getting desperate and are accusing democrats of un-American tendencies. Can you beat it? The democratic administrations of the past few j -irs have given the old soldiers and t' '.' widows more beneficial legislation ui-n did the republicans in forty years of power. The .democrats stand for the people. They are the people ar.d they are patriotic, sincere, and balieve in good, fair government, of ti * people, by the people, and for ti e people. a The republicans, as usual, are cloning everything, and yet they are riMing Candidate Hughes into Ohio and Indiana, are making frantic efforts in Michigan and Illinois, spending money and great energy in Wisconsin and Minnesota, almost despairing of New York and working old rock-ribbed Pennsylvania day and night. They recognize the fact that they're .up against a Wilson landslide and are doing everything in their power to head it off. but without success. Mr. Hubbard is to be congratulated upon the completion of th® organization which the Ottawa sugar plant and the forming of the Ohio Sugar company. It's a big deal and one that gives every promise of rapid and healthy growth. Associated with him are men who know the business they are to engage in and from every viewpoint the company has on its ’ board an expert to advise with. We ; regret the departure from Decatur pf ' Mr. Hubbard and we congratulate ' Ottawa for they will have in their midst a live-wire business man. a good citizen and a hustler, and he will take with him there a score or more of splendid men. We wish the new company all kinds of success, and we are sure they will have it. no mistake. The big issue to ; be determined on November 7 is the one which deals with American polI icy toward international conflict — i toward peace or war. Which road shall we take? Do you want the pathway of peace which President Wilson has rigidly adhered to, or are you willing to assume the responsibility for a course which threatens to lead you to something different? Let this issue be clear in your minds. There is no charge that Mr. Hughes or the great mass of his supporters are deliberately conspiring to plunge the United States into the world war. That would be inconceivable. Yet they are ail playing with fire in unreasoning antipathy to every step of President Wilson’s course that has kept us at peace. They are counselling the taking of a chance with fate, hoping, but wholly unable to demon strate. that the outcome will bt something better. They are asking the country to exchange certainty for uncertainty and take the chances that such a transaction involves. Certain things are established. You have peace with Wilson's course. Do you know what is in store for this country under any other program? Fort Wayne Sentinel. 1

Mrs. Stella Crist, of South Line, answering a knock at her door last evening, might well have thought the Hallowe'en spirits had descended upon her with a vengence for there was a motley company of nearly every known character from the prettily tn the grotesquely garbed. She finally identified them, however, and found in the company, thirty-fourmembers of the Rebekah lodge who took this occasion to give her a pleasant surprise call. Good fun reigned supre ; c needless to say and music, dancing and all games that a company of fr>licers can think of, contributed to the good time.
