' i Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. ■.iwm i Quite a number of more or less prominent gentlemen asked that their New Year's wishes be brought to the attention of the people. J. Ham Lewis’ was quite frank. "My wish.” he said, “is that the country , be democratic in practice as well as j name, and republican in form as well ( as theory’ ” Read that again—twice. Jim Ham just plumb meant that! "Speak better of Decatur" has bee;, suggested as a motto for the nei chamber of commerce and its a good one. A neighboring city has for itr' motto “Speak well of our town” and’ then why not speak better. It means much for if we knock our town w; won’t get far. It’s the best place on earth. Why not say so and say i," ipud, long and often? Senator Borah in a lengthy letter asks Governor Lowden, Illinois, candidate for the republican presidential nomination, how he stands on thf league of nations and peace treaty Lowden is the first presidential car didate to receive the letter, although Borah declares he will place every candidate on record. Evidently Borah feels that Lowden is by fa the strongest candidate in the field and hence bombards him first. Le us hope that Lowden stands soy th* league and treaty, and thus inject , true Americanism into the standpa campaign.—Huntington Press. Another effort to have a chamber c commerce is to be made in Decatu and its a fine thing to do. That w

I At first sigDf, of a cold or grip I ' take SSANES GOLD TABLETS CUARANYKKO ■ need a permanent organization of this kind in Decatur is admitted by every one and the organization should be supported by every citizen. It should | not be the oiganization of any men or clique of men, it should be th# clearing house for every idea, for every ( proposed improvement, for every- ' hing that is for the general good of ur people. We should stand behind .t all the time and fight for it. With i chamber of commerce we can have what the town needs, we can build houses we will need, we can secure the right kind of industries and we .•an do things worth while. Its all up .o the people. We have the right start and its our own fault if we lon’t take advantage of the opportunities now offered us to grow and prosier. By all means lets have it and a good one and then lets support it to a man. Governor Goodrich proposes to ca’l a one day session of the legislature, members to serve without pay for the purpose of ratifying the suffrage mendment. He has received but little support to his proposal but eviden - y will go ahead with it if he can ecure a quorom. The American Legon is raising a howl and so are those ho desire some changes in the tax nd road laws and to pacify these rging a real session he is now iromising a second special session to >e held in March. Just why the busiless can’t be transacted at one sesion is not very carefully explained ut there is no doubt some good pol.ieal reason and thats enough for hose who have the power to do such things at the expense of the state. Help the committees named to look rfter the varipus problems now beore the Industrial Association. A ew men cannot do these things uness supported by the citizens and msiness men. Back them up and ive them your advice and assistance.

Presidential Candidates at Meeting (United Press Service) Chicago. 111., Jan. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The republican national organization was “tuned up” for i the 1920 campaign today. The pitch and the harmony were established by National Chairman Will H. Hays; presidential aspirants Governor Frank O. Lowden and Major General Leonard Wood and several women leaders, at a banquet here last night—the ve of the first anniversary of the death of Theodore Roosevelt. The speakers were unanimous on subject—knocking the reds, revolutions and others who seek to ov. rtlirow the American government. Chairman Hays said there was a remedy for "the I. W. W. or what not—it is taken against the wall, standing.” The speech made by Chairman Hays was taken as significient in that it outlined more explicitly some of the questions on which the repubii cans will "go to bat” during the 1920 fight. They are: A "fair” representation for labor in all councils of the nation. Closer relations between capital and labor with justice to both and also to the public. Symputhetis help lor business durtag economic reconstruction, not au- 1 tagonistic curtailment. Strong repressive measures against all reds and revolutionists who seek to overthrow- she government. Adquate taxes, but none for extrava gance. Plans for extending payment of the war debt over a long period. Strong federal 'regulation but. ao government ownership or undue federalization of industries. Elimination of controversies between groups or sections as mucShm possible. Women speakers backed up the sentiment expresed by the mtn leaders. Mrs. Medill McCommi’ k declared "We muqt make this an American America.” The meeting of the women's section and various other groups continued today, outlining campaign plans.
