Third District ROBERT SCHWARTZ The fellow who complains that he if not getting a square deal from tlx of-posing political party, is usually looking for the best of it and is mad because he can't put it over. Every voter of Adams county can afford to support Herman L. Coir.tr for secretary of state. He lives here, he is capable, he is all right in every way. You should vote for him at the election next week. The odds are one hundred to eighty that Jimmy Cox will be re-elected governor of Ohio. As a war exec itive he stands second to none and the people of the Buckeye state make no mistake in choosing him. The democratic party is the friend of the common people. They believe in those principles which make it best for you to live under. Tl»e election next Tuesday will be your chance to give your opinion as to this. Vote the democratic ticket.

. dent Wilson. The voter;- o f qq land showed this respect to Liu../., ami McKinley when they were command-er-in-chiefs of the atmy and navy ol the I'nited States during previoc wars. It shows a unity at home a well as at the battle front. President t Wilson asks your support not from any selfish motive but because he realizes that this result will best serve the nation during this most serious crisis. President Wilson's appeal that h ■ be given a democratic congress his called forth the wrath of rhe partisan republican leaders, lies! proof that his appeal was necessary. These leaders were opposing the preshit nt in various ways, giving out mean tittle interviews and otherwise making it impossible for him to unite his people. The president has a right to carry out those principles in which n believes and to tie his hands by electing a republican congress at this time, means a loss of two years. At litis grave period of time, we cannot afford such a loss. v We re on the last week of the shortest political campaign in the hU tory of this great democracy. While you have other important duties reT quiring your attention, do not forget that the coming election will select the men who will control affairs during the next two years and that they will be years tilled with many reconauction efforts. President Wilson desires to complete his wonderful record by giving the people such laws as will be to yqur best advantage. You make a serious mistake if you don't support him. Remember that when you vole next week and vote the democratic ticket. A commission appointed by Governor Goodrich and including Ele Stansbury, the attorney general of Indiana, has ruled tnat those who have not taken out their second naturalization papers, cannot vote. J.'y what right do these men attempt to take upon themselves the perogative to change qualifications fixed by the constitution? There may be men who have proven themselves opposed to , our government who should be barred this privilege but to make a general . rule of this kind imposes a harship that is unfair and we believe entirely beyond their jurisdiction. Those who have the right to vote under the constitution should vote. We are not. very strong for this circus bill board advertising by political parties, nor do we think the average voter is. A paid advertisement in a street car or on the side of a barn looks like a cold blooded, cheap, useless way to advertise a man who has served in congress and whose name I should be known by every citizen of the district because of the service performed. Os course we recognize 1 ( the fact that, in the case of Mr. Vestal some means must, be used for pulling the wool over the eyes of the voters, even though it costs a year's salary .in congress to do it. If you elect Eichhorn to congress the people of jthe district and of the state and nation will know his name and his worth. You cannot say that the boys have I not been well cared for in army camp or oversea. President 'Wilson. Secretaries McAdoo, Daniels and Baker have planned well and aided by their assistants, have executed those thing; necessary for the comfort of the boys,

Three million dollars in the treasury says- Governor Goodrich and yet the vouchers with which tlie employes of state institutions are paid are endorsed by the governor, the state treasurer and Mr. Hendren, showing the money has been borrow ed to meet this expense. The explanation is simple, the state is out of funds and the only money in the treasury is that in trust for certain purposes, such as educational and highway funds, which can be used for no other expense. The state is in a bad way and Governor Goodrich will make a vigorous effort to put over excise and other tax measures at the next legislature to meet the shortage. The bill Ivoard advertising will not fool the voters of Indiana this year because they know ii is camouflage. +++++++4- + + + + + + + * M HQ’S WHO IN * * LOCAL POLITICS * 4 , + + + + + + + + + + + + 4 , + j. b. McCarthy Os Tipton county, the democrai.fi? candidate for state treasurer. Not over one man in ten thousand can "toe the mark" with the man the democrats of Tipton county present as democratic candidate for treasurer of state. He is a shrewd business man. a wise financier and has an enviable record. Let us tell you about him: "Something over thirty years ago a boy was seen riding on the bump rs of a freight car near the village of Kempton. Tipton county, Indiana, by a big husky brakeman, who rougly ordered him to get off. He left his humble home in Ohio and was heeded for somewhere in the far west —he knew not where, but fortunately for himself and the little town of Kempton. he obeyed the order. "Being entirely out of coin and the other necessities of life, he began work on the section of the Lake Erie railroad. By close attention to his work, which has been one of his life's mottos, he was promoted to the position of section foreman while yet under age. So proud was he of this honorable job he would not have exchanged places with the governor es Alaska. "But in a few short years he crave ! greater responsibilities and plunged into the world of business, lamg be fore he was 30 he was regarded as one of the leading merchants of Tipton county and his success knew no bounds. He is a shrewd, careful business man. a wise financier, and his judgment regarding matters of this nature are never questioned. In his merchandizing, which has lasted for over a quarter of a century, he has always had implicit faith and confidence in the people, and their constant co-operation with him ail those years is positive evidence of their appreciation. He never forgets a friend, and is at all times ready to forgive; an enemy. “One of the most patriotic men I

THE PRESIDENT EXPLAINS. (United Press Service) Washington, D. C.. Oct. 28—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Denouncing as lamentable “alleged republican attempts" to bend to partisan service the momentous status of this solemn Lour." President Wilson today explained that article three of his peace formula does not mean a policy of tree trade. Responding to a letter of inquiry from 'Senator Simmons, who asked that an interpretation be placed on the peace article, the president said that "by removal of economic barriers and the establishment of equality of trade conditions among nations.” he meant merely that “there should be no discrimination against some nations that did not apply to others.” Weapons of economic discipline. he said, should be left to the leagues of nations. Asking whether “it is the will of the American people or the will of Woodrow Wilson that is to determine the policy of the I'nited States into the matter of ending this war. and sounding a future peace,” Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, today began the republican attack in the senate on the president.
