Entered at the postofflce in Decatur Indiana, as second-class matter. The primaries over today, it will be several months before real campaigning will start. In the meantime there are many important things to be done for the good of the community. Let’s do them. Fair skies today will likely keep many farmers of*lndiana at work and will consequently make the vote extremely light. This will work to the advantage of those candidates who have devoted their efforts to the industrial centers it is claimed. II - - ' IL- ■ After all just what good is a state wide primary that doesn’t nominate and doesn’t bind the convention in any manner? At least the daw should be amended so as to be of some benefit though we believe the a general opinion is that we could just as well as not save this vast expense. The election returns will be received at this office this evening, the county returns coming in as soon as counted in the various precincts and in addition to that we have arranged ior returns from the slate. We will be glad to serve you the news in any way we can. The next thing on the program politically will be the reorganization of

In each there promises to be some real scraps which will furnish plenty of headlines. Are you a booster for the North ern Indiana fair and Old Home Week? You should be for it is to be the biggest event of its kind ever held here the greatest fair in all the central west. You should be proud of it and glad to let your friends all know about it. The program will be a real one. Decatur is growing and before the end of this year will be a mighty good industrial center. Its new plants ’are getting ready to go and already many are employed in them, while new men are being added each day. New’ residences are being built and many more are planned. A little “pep”, will put us oVer and give us the place on the map we deserve. Johnson, Wood, Harding and Lowden have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Indiana primary. It’s a safe bet that none of these will receive a sufficient vote to give them the delegation of thirty delegates and many wise politicians claim that none of the four will be nominated in Chicago at the June convention. Then just what's the use? The primaries in this county are being held today and with little ex

citement or Interest evidently. People are so busy enjoying that they don’t feel they can even stop to vote for those men wihom they know will help to continue the conditions. We are a queer people after all and rather hard to please. In years to come you will remember* these days and wish they could return. The price of print paper continues* to soar, a quotation received today being fourteen cents at the mill. At this price the Daily Democrat would add three hundred dollars per week to overhead expense and up to date we haven’t figured how we can do that for any length of time. Be assured however that we will go as far as we can and that we will not attempt to profiteer. That's the only promise we can make you. Adams county should have and we confidently believe will have a modern and well equipped hospital. We the voting on it today attd we feel sure this splendid movement will be supported at the polls. At any rate the effort to put it up to the people is the right one. They thus have the opportunity to express themselves and this is far better than to have it forced upon them. Whatever tine results of today’s election we will havd the advantage of knowing what the people want. Up to this time the most important peoblem this community has to dispose of, the city power plant improvement has not been settled. We urge every citizen here that this IS one of the things necessary if wa are going to make Decatur a city of 10,000. Plans will be made and announced within the month and when they are every one should get back of the city council and help them ac-l complish the work which is so necessary. We need a larger city plant and we must have it. Boost Decatur and keep everlastingly at it. That's the only way to win. It's the long, strong pull that counts. STAUFFER-RABBITT Saturday, at the United Brethren' parsonage at Cratgville, Ind., Mr., Henry Stauffer, of Fort Wayne, son; of Fred and 'Rebecca Stauffer, and; Miss Lucile Rabbitt. daughter of, Charles and Adda Rabbitt. were united* in the bonds of matrimony, by the Rev.; T. H. Harmon, pastor of the United; Brethren church at Craigville. The ceremony took place at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The young couple was attended by the mother, one brother and a sister of the bride. They are' old-time friends of the pastor’s family. The young couple are well known in and about Decatur, and come from some of our best families here. They are highly esteemed. The young man is employed in the city of Fort Wayne and they will make their future home in that city. EXCHANGE GOING UP (United Press Service) New York.
