Mr. Tenner, a republican candidate s for the nomination for governor, is ' now campaigning in Marion county ) and he is warning his opponents, 1 1 Fesler and McCray that if they perJsist in their organization methods they may land where Senator Newbeery of Michigan did. The campaign promises to get rather warm during the next few weeks and months. Carleton B. McCulloch of Indianap olis, stands for ths things that every good citizen should stand for be he ! laborer, farmer or business man. He is clean and brave and’ a high class man who will serve you faithfully and honestly, who is bound by no private interests and controlled by ni man or set of men.

that within a few years It will be a monger hiatlttftloq. The Decatur plant Is declared to be the only one of Its kind In the world, built for speed in the manufacture of small’ motors and the company officials are sure It will prove a great winner. The primaries, both democratic and republican, will be held, three weeks from tomorrow, on Tuesday, May 4th. On that date you will select the candidates for the offices which are so important in the county and state and every citizen should have enough interest in the future of the government to help select these men. Even where there are no con-’ tests you should vote for it is a duty not to be lightly passed over. The next two to four years promise to be the most important in all our history and the very best men should serve us. as officials. It was a success —the General Electric dedication —the crowd was large, the program good, every one in a good humor, and the important occasion will be long remembered by the people of this community. Hundreds who visited the new plant were impressed with the wonderful build'ng achievement. A plant with more than sixty thousand square feet of floor space was built within three months and within two or three weeks the machinery will have been nstalled and the wheels will be tuning. It marks the ne* era in Decatur and we believe this little city will soon be recognized as an industria! ■enter of some importance. Any way the event was a complete sue-i ?ess and everybody is happy though some who carried the responsibility ire feeling somewhat relieved. The big plant will be operating soon.
