ALONE WITH YOUR CORSCINECE: — Mr. Voter, you are to choose whetLor you will go forward with Wilson — who Kept us out of war; Prepared you against - war; Worked for you and yours; Ended Wall Street's rule;. Liberated honest business; s Made lasting prosperity possible; Kept faith with labor; Lifted the farmer's mortgage; Freed the child; Kept all his promises; OR Undo Wilson's deeds, go backward with the candidate of the Old Guard and Wall Street, and take a chance on plunging us into war with Roose- 1 velt and Hughes? You are working instead of fighting. WILSON'S THE MAN. THE CAMPAIGN NEARS THE END: — Another day for final organization and the great campaign which has been in progress for three months will have ended. On Hie one hand President Wilson, acknowledged by friend and toe to have made the most remarkable record of any president in a half century, to have enacted through personal efforts more laws for the people than' all the presidents combined since Lincoln's time, to have so conducted affairs of state dur-

ing a half dozen serious complications with foreign nations as to have 'avoided war a»d still maintained tbe 'honor of this nation, to have aided business, protected the women and children ot the country, and a dozen other great acts. Upon this record he is asking reelection, while on the other hand Mr. Hughes as the republican nominee, is running for the high office of chief executive practically without an issue, save that of criticism without offering a single remedy. His only strength lies in the facj that be is backed by a hundred millionaires ot Wall street, who are putting up millions of dollars in au effort to elect him and thus regain for the special interests the -legislative bodies of the nation. It is the most remarkable campaign ever made with right on one stole t.ud . apital on the other. Will the people of this country vote for themselves or against themselves? We have faith in o.tr people and we believe they wilt support tbe administration which U..S. given them tbe service they have <1?inanded. A vote for Wilson is a vote for the great mass of common people. A vote for Hughes is a vote against, yourself. Vote for Wilson next Tuesday. WHO LAUGHS AT OUR PEACE? Partisan speakers of high and low degree are manifesting a . nervous sensitiveness about European opinion. Opponents of President Wilson simply writhe shame at the thought of iiow Europe despises and condemns us. They tell us that the administrutjpn’s course has made this country the laughing stock of the nations. Nothing except Mr. Hughes’ election will cause the world's face to regain composure. Os all the home products intended strictly for domestic consumption this idea of European mirth and contempt for the United States is easily the foremost. Even if it were true it would not present a grave issue. We have no control over the risible tendencies of foreign nations. But we are the master of our own acts and attitude. What principally conJceres us is not what somebody thinks of us but what in our heart of hearts we think of ourselves. Not what some other nation thinks we ought •do but what we know xve ought to do. But it is not true. After two years and more of the bloodiest and most exhausting conflict in history—when the great nations are bieeding white and the peoplg looking in vain for some evidence that the end is in sight —Europe can appreciate as never before the greatness of a country at peace anM the wisdom that keeps her disentangled from the conflict. Never doubt she does it. Now as never before this country must seem to Europe. awash in seas of blood, like a great rock and-ri-efuge. Not for a nation to be laughed at did Germany agree to make her submarine campaign conform to international law and humanity. Nut from a country coatemptible in the world's eyes do British statesmen welcome the suggestion for a league to safeguard the whole world's peace. Nobody is laughing at America except for political purposes. The whole world envies her.—Chicago Herald.

A vote for Hughes is a vote t<r Roosevelt. Which would you rather do- sleep in a trench at the front or in bed nt home? So would we.—Village Gossip. And do you remember who was president of the well-known U. S. when we were paid in clearing house certificates? z You’re right, it was Roosevelt. Election returns will be received at theis office, arrangements having been made for receiving the returns over a special Western Union wire from over the nation and the county returns by telephone from every precinct. ———————— I<ook over the democratic ticket aud you will find every man a qualified 'man from President Wilson down t > the last man on the county ticket. Vote for them —because they are for you. I* The voters in precinct "A”, second ward. Decatur will vote by machiie this year and tbe results should be known Ly 6:30 ‘Tuesday night, giving something tangible to figure from. Lets make it gain. Remember when you vote for Mr. Hughes Tuesday that you are also voting for Mr. Roosevelt for the two men are in perfect accord upon every question. Mr. Roosevelt is a dangerous man to monkey with just now. The Rexall straw vote taken in 8,09 b stores over the country gives Wilson about a hundred more electoral votes than Hughes. Indiana.

New York and other doubtful states have swung into line and there is a decided trend to the president in every state in the pnion. You can’t beat it. Senator Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, is a new member of the senate, but be is a man who makes his inf.ueuce wnerever he is, and he certain ly made it felt in promoting the passage of the Ashbrook bill. He was one of the senators who could be relje<j on at every stage of the emergency.—National Tribune. Democrats should organize for work on election day. Get to the polls early and stay there until six o’clock in the evening. See that those who favor the democratic ticket vote, io a little work for your party if you believe in the great principles we ar? fighting for. A great deal depends on what you do'on election day. The railroad men are in earnest this year in their fight for Woodrow VHlson who gave them the eight-hour law and they will not back up though the bosses have been planning in various ways to get them to do l so. Th -y will refuse to go out on runs unless it is arranged that they vote first. ■Coercian is not a very popular ex-

'ercise just now. Senator John W. Kern should not .be forgotten in the expression of gratitude for the passage of the widows’ pension bill. As, chairman ■of the democratic steering committee of the senate. Senator Kern had the opportunity to exercise a great deal of influence in promoting the passage of the bill through the senate and he exercised this influence with heartiness and generous sympathy for the poor womea whom it xvould benefit.—National Tribune. Tom Marshall, whom we ail love and admire, democratic candidate for vice president, former governor of Indiana. will close the campaign at Fort Wayne tonight as he has done for a number of years past. The event will be the signal for a great democratic rally which promises to surpass ■ any event of its kind in Indiana this year. There will be a big parade, plenty of red fire, many figures and a real outburst of denmeratfe enthusiasm. Mr. Voter, you will have an opportunity Tuesday to repay John- A. M. Adair for his faithful services to you as your representative in congress. Ha is a candidate for governor and there is every reason why you should

' vote for him and none why you should not. He is a splendid citizen, clean morally, upright In nil his dealings, > honest and square, u busineato man of more than ordinary ability, he owns no interest in any public utility company, he is not tied to any faction mid he wiil give you a clean admlnis1 tration as governor. Yon owe him • your vole and your assistance next ' Tuesday. We feel certain that the great democracy of Adams county wiil do b< r 1 part towards the election of the dem-e ( eratlc tickets, county, state and actional. next Tuesday. This has long been the green spot of Indiana and it will continue to be notwithstanding the fact that the republicans hive worked hard, have set up nights to I send out “fake” literature and have I left no stone untamed to create fnc- , tional differences among the democrats. We believe the majority in . this county will be increased handsomely and that Adams comity will . continue to be pointed to as the banI ner territory in the state. Frank Dailey is gaining national , attention by his energetic methods of stopping election frauds. He has tb° evidence that will probably convict a number of republican leaders who . have colonized colored voters in Ohio > and Indiana and will attempt to vote > them, he lias notified factory owners • and railroad managers that they cannot intimidate the voters, nor can they use methods designed to prevent them from voting, and he will ! call a special grand jury session after , ! the election to prosecute those who violate his orders. It's a warning that should be considered or some s of these 1 men whose chief labor now i is to slip coupons may joing the dele- . gat ion at Leavenworth. -■ t —— f DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
