Third District S ROBERT SCHWARTZ Vestal voted for the war and voted against the appropriation with whi h to maintain the army, is that the kind of a man you want in congress? It the state treasury is overflowing wity not pay the bills the state owes, why not meet the pay rolls at the various institutions, why did the governor want an excise law? The voters of Adams county know the men who are candidates on tue democratic ticket and they know th y are-good citizens. Why then listen for- a moment to tales meant to heli some one secure an office at the expense of another man? The fellow who slips around intimating some thing needs watching. The republicans claim to have thr-e million dollars in the treasury and yet it cost them SBOO,OOO more io conduct >he government of Indiana last year than it did under Governor Ralston. That's what you call throwing sand in the voters face. They are camouflaging and know it and so do you. Why argue it? It is needless to argue that a democratic congress would lie more acceptable to the adtninistation at this time than a rei üblican house Eve. y one knows that the defeat of the dem ocrats would be a rebuke to Pdesident Wilson, recognized as the world

greatest leader, the friend to every laborer, every farmer, every citizen of litis land. Your quota for the I’nfted War Work fund is four per cent of your quota for the Fourth Lllrerty lawn, which makes it easy- to figure but you need not feel that you must stop tliore. You can give as much more as you will with the knowledge tint it will |>e greatly appreciate! and will bring just that much pleasure and comfort, to the boys in camp and trench and on the battle field, so make your plans accordingly. Remember there ate about eight hundred Adams county hoys in soldier camps and th:.' ’ lident W.lson backed by a democratic congress and senate is taking care ct those boys as no soldiers were ever cared for before. The boys will tell y.ffi so. Then why change horses at thicritical moment when so much depends? Vote for Eichhorn and vote for the democratic county tick.:. That’s the sate way to do it. It is an insult to the voters of Adams county to even insinuate that

they are disloyal. In every campaign for war purposes we have more than made good and the politician who goes uixm that theory will find that he is reading the minds of our people Itackwards. The citizens of this county and of every township in it are back of thia government and for it aagainst any in the world. They have proven it time and time again aad they will prove'it again on election day. Judge Eichhorn is every inch a man. He is splendidly qualified to represent this district in congress. He is especially fitted to represent yc-u when the great reconstruction period is on. He is honest and a thinker, industrious and will take care of your affairs, a man with great legal mind who has proven his tight to aspire to the* high position ot a law maker. He is the biggest mat, you can hire for the place and he it most deservng of your vote on No vember sth. Democratic voters of Adams coun ty are urged to think seriously ovei the coming election and the candi dates. It is easy to start misleading and unfair stories about candidates and with the time short and public meetings forbidden, it is difficult to reach each voter to deny these. Re member that when they are telling you a lot of stuff that you know is po litical chaff and nothing else. The men on the democratic ticket are high grade citizens and will stand any investigation you make. Ixiok them up. Ask their neighliors abo.it them, that’s the way* to get a real line cn them. *The state ticket of Indiana is led

by a well known Decatur business man. .Vlr. Herman L. Corner. That he is splendidly fitted for the high 'position is proven by the tact that he is admitted to have made a record as deputy secretary of state unexcelled in the history of the state. He served six years in that office and he was selected because of his qualifications to serve the people. He is a native of this county and he should receive a vote that will prove that wc t stand for our people. Mr. Comer has I made a good record, he is entitled io . I our support. Mr. Voter, he will give you excellent service and he w.d treat the public courteously and add to the efficiency of the office of secretary of state. VOTE FOR HERMAN CONTER ON THE STATE TICKET. ’ - ' " ' • The reptihttcans are making an unusual campaign this year, urging that it is necessary to elect a republican congress to support a democratic president. The claim is about as meritorious as could la* expected this year but. most foolish, especially i t this district where Judge Eichhorn jis the candidate against Albert Vestal. The democratic candidate is a man in every way fitted for the place, a keen lawyer and .rarist. just and I fair, a student and deserving of election. Mr. Vestal luw served two

years in congress and has made a wonderful record sending out thousands of pamphlets at government expense on the "flu.” You are to employ a man to represent you in congress. You choose between theese two men. Take your choice but you are foolish if you do not vole for the man whom you feel will liest serve you. e No democrat need apologize this year for any action of the national Administration. Preside)) Wilson has urged through congress more important bills than any president ever did in the same length of time, and every one ot those laws has been for yo ir best Interests. He has been the cause of this nation advancing to first place among the nations of the world and he has given every class of people, a fair and a square chance. He is for you all the time, he is wise and brave, he is the greatest man living today. Do not tie his hands by selecting men for congress who will obstruct bis work when the opportunity presents itself. In 1898 such men as Benjamin Harrison. Theodore Roosevelt and others urged that the people support President McKinley by electing m*n of his party to the senate and congress. If then, why not now? It iassured that a democratic congress will be more acceptable to the pre i dent than a republican house.
