CLARK For County Surveyor ORVAL HARRUFF For County Assessor WILLIAM FRAZIER For Commissioner, Second District C. C. BEER For Commissioner, Third District ROBERT SCHWARTZ Next Tuesday is thg day—yen serve yourself best, by voting the democratic county- state and township tickets. Four dollars and eighty-three cents per minute more under Goodrich th in under Ralston to run the state. You pay it. How are you going to vote? It's time right now to stop methods of slandering men who have taken a.i oath to serve as officers of the court. The most effective way is to vote the democratic ticket next Tuesday. You can just put it down that a political party which stoops to dishonorable methods of campaign will attempt to put something just as sl'ck over on you if given power. A VOTE FOR HERMAN CONTER IS A VOTE FOR THE MAN WHO HAS MADE THE BEST RECORD AS DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE IN A SCORE OF YEARS—AND HIS HOME IS IN ADAMS COUNTY.

1 late the law? Do you wonder that all t newspapers do not care tor that kind of advertising, even at fat rates? r The publication of unsigned politi- * cal advertiswnents iu any newspaper f or by circular is a violation of the ’ laws at Indiana. Men who thus flagrantly defy the law shout the loudest about local conditions. Think it over. i i • The time has come again for preJ dictions as to results and you can j get one that will just suit you by go- ) ing to the right source. We don t ) know what it will be in this county J but if you all vote an we think you 1 ought the democrats will have about . 4,870. p —■——— Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, a republican, in discussing the war resolution said. "We are about to put the dollar mark on the American flag.” He is one of those patriots who wants to be given authority to continue his support of the president. t Judge Eichhorn is one of the big men of Indiana. He is qualified to render you ten times as much service as the average man who goes to congress. Wouldn't you rather have a man there like him than one who has to send out patent medicine literature to attract attention to his candidacy? It is easy to start a false story about a candidate in the closing days . of a campaign. Usually they are , stories meant solely for the purpose j of misleading you into voting against , excellent men. We want you against . this time warn scheme. Vote for the < men on the democratic ticket, every . ; one of whom jg honest, upright and i capable. It is not the final vote which counts ( always. A member of congress can j cause much annoyance by his ever- ( lasting nagging and fault finding and < then vote for the measure on its final < passage because he knows the folks t back home are going to watch that 1 action. Albert H. Vestal lias followed i Jim Watson's tactics carefully along t that line and he deserves the trounc- t ing he is going to get next Tuesday i at the hands of Judge Eichhorn. t Republicans this year are certainly , up against it. An intelligent voter , who cannot see through their mask is blind indeed. They are after the jobs, nothing more and they are will- ■ ing to go to any lengths to get them. ■ They argue that they have supported ' Wilson better than the democrats, • ask your suffrage so they can con- 1 tinue to do so and in the same sent- ' ence say ho is waivering, weak and undependable. Gan you beat it for contradiction? Voters of Adams county, while reading the literature sent out in reckless quantities by the republican committee. just remember that it is costing $6,967.09 more each day to run the state under Governor Goodrcih than it did under Governor Ralston. Tnis may aid you iu forming a conclusion as to how you ought to vote. In the name of all that is good for the citizens of this community, wc fail tu see any reason why you should vote any thing but the democratic ticket. The republican party is endeavoring to capture the next coagess by claiming tor itself a superior brand of patriotism. The republican publicity association, which is an adjunct of the national committee of that , party, is openly supporting the canj didacy for re-election of Senator Norris. of Nebraska. As the record of f Senator Norris reaches high heaven the denizens of that happy region are * seen making a frantic search imr e smelling bottles.—New York HeraW. 1 Colonel Roosevelt in a recent speech declared in loud tones that the republican party had been more patriotic in the war movement than the democrats and that a larger number of them had supported the pres!dent than the members of the party lin power. In the same speech, he [said the slogan of the republican memjbers of oougress is “Here comes the

Low, last in war, first in peace, long 1 may he waiver." Consistency thou art a jewel. i. Herman Coater leads the state r ticket. It will be a great honor for a him to serve as secretary of state. He ought to be elected for he h comt petent. He ought to receive a ma- •_ jorlty of 2,500 in Adams county, for this is his home and his father and i- grandfather lived here before him. i Home pride counts everywhere else, - why not here? We believe it will and t we believe he will have a right to fee! r proud indeed of his vote in old t Adams. Vote for him next Tuesday, t — • You can hire men to write circulars and advertisements and bill board • and street car signs and you can get ; them printed and you can have then? i circulated—if you have the money, i but it’s mighty slim argument to the man who thinks. If they haven’t anything to offer more than the bunk we have read, it’s an awful waste of good cash during these days when we have to conserve on everything and when a newspaper has to account . for every pound of paper used. B'gosh it's a sin. . I The high cost of living notwith- ( standing, the masses seem to be pros- , perous. Although millions were ,’nvested in War Savings and Thrift ( Stamps in the month of August, the deposits of savings in the various , postoflice stations of Manhattan and • the Bronx were large and now aggro ■ gate nearly $34,000,000. Thia enor- ■ mous sum is held in trust for 151-000 depositors, an average of $227. Universal employment and high wages * supply the answer. —New York Her- ( aid. ( -- ( The democratic party during eight I years of control, put the state of in- * diana on a sound basis. If you want * it so continued, put them back in , power this year. During the demo- t cratlc rule the state debt was paid off s and tile slate wiped clean the fit st * time in eighty years. The republicans have let it slip bavkward, have less ] money in the treasury now than when ; they started and have the nerve to 1 advertise broadcast that they are the 1 party of efficiency. They are trying ' to muddy the water and they are not , stopping at fairness to do it. Use , your head. Vote the democratic ticket and make it safe. Republicans of Adams county, do you think that Harry Helm is a perjurer or a man who after taking an oath to act as a member of the grand jury would violate that oath? If you don’t what do you think of a plan of campaign which accuses him in a public advertisement of "whitewashing” any one charged with a crime? That's the issue as made by the republicans. Do you think that Alonzo Runyon, John. Voglewede, Aja.ro n Bricker, Arthur Mangold and Emerson Beavers are men who would as officers of the court do other than the.r sworn duty? You answer when you vote next Tuesday. They have answered by demanding retraction. Misleading stories, figures that cannot be sustantfeted, un.tr uthlu'i charges against their opponents or other citizens who happen to get in their road, Yearns to be the plan of campaign mapped out by the republicans this year. The national committee has made up a lot of figures which evidently purposely camouflage the facts, the state committee under . Governor Goodrich's guidance have ; covered the bill boards with signs . evidently intended to cover up the . true condition of the state treasury, E in this county advertisements are bti ing run which not only do not state j facts but attack the charcater of as r good citizens as can be found. And . they call that a square deal. Lord save us. t «■■■■—*■ ■ ■■■Mil ■ l ■ t We deny that we ever told any rej publican candidate we would accept i advertising matter for him and then • toW him wc nad changed our mind. • Wei did say we would consider whetli* ■ er ar not we cared to change a rule ■ not to accept advertising from local • | candidates on any ticket and ai t ortjwards informed him that we had de-.

Pcided to follow our prorious rul-’. 1 We were very careful to be explicit and fair and he knows it. Any one interested can get the facts if they * want them. It's a "far cry” as a de- ' f-nse to the dirty advertisement printed in The Berne Witness by the ' repubican county committee even ;«s a comparison. We are willing the people decide which newspaper was fairest. The Berne Witness did not retract their statements concerning members of the grand jury which recently filed a report. Instead they changed the display, credited it to the republican county committee and omitted the charge that the grand jury had “white washed” any one. Editorially they say the Daily Democat is offended because they (The Witnees) accepted republican advertising. Bless your souls, you never were farther from the truth. You have a right to accept advertising from any political party any time. That’s your business. But you have no right to pul> lish an advertisement signed or unsigned. which attacks the character of clean, upright citizens like those who served on the recent jury, and that is what, you did. The fact that the display is modified and signed in yesterday's issue is proof that you were wrong and that you owe a retraction. + + + *♦♦ + **♦♦♦*♦* ♦ WHO’S WHO IN ♦ ♦ LOCAL POLITICS ♦ +++++♦+++++♦++♦ FREDERICK S.
