Senator Harding received eighty live votes at the primary in Adam: county last May 4th. If he is n< more popular now than then he wil not make much of a showing. This is a- great county and its clti zens are intelligent men and womer why read and study. They can b< convinced by proper argument but they cannot be led around or deliv ered by any man. The issues in this campaign should be clear. Are we to have four year; of government by Harding in the int erest of big business and at the ex pense of general business op of Co> in the interest of the people. Tomorrow is Rally day in the Sun day schools and appropriate pro grams have been arranged. Read the programs and attend services. Ii will get you out of the "rut” and cheer you for many days to come. — : - '■ You can register at democrats headquarters tonight or any tim< Monday. If you don’t do this, be sure to go to your precinct booth be fore Monday evening at nine o’clock That is your last opportunity t< qualify. The Baltimore man who asked Harding a civil question was put in jail for disturbing the peace. Is that the attitude to be taken by the repub licans if given power? If it is there is a serious four years ahead in case he should be elected. But clear outside of any politics the people of this community will be for most any body that brings ir ' about a hundred cars of coal and distributes it at a price that will per mit the people to make themselves comfortab e. No paper in Indiana has been more bitter against Senator Taggart that the Indianapolis News but this yeai they are supporting him because his record during the six months h< served following the death of Senatoi Shively proved ids fitness and his ability and his record compared tc that of Senator Watson is a revela tion that every voter should study. We are a queer people after all ii 1 we complain about the living condi tions of the past few years. Nov. honestly haven't you prospered more than you ever did in your life? The conditions will continue if the people remain in control and don’t turn over affairs of government to special interests whose best asset is their big slqsh fund. — » Eight hundred votes in your vest pocket Ered? Better sew up the hole for they are slipping out and by November 2nd your pocket will be empty. The voters of today refuse to be delivered except by being convinced and if they change their minds as often as Senator Harding does, as they have a right to do, it's a little early to get out the band or to brag about your power. A contract between all the nations of the world to stop wars should appeal to every citizen of this country. Think what it means for your children if the fear and dread of battle murder is taken away and that’s what the league of nations covenant means, it has already prevented two

p wars and without the great assistance this country could give is work Ing perfectly. 'Germany wants in i and wants the United States in. The highway commission paid $83,000 for a garage to house what the Berne Witness terms “junk’’, the ad-i ministration spent several hundred thousand dollars to repair the state house and give somebody a job, employed many useless men as oil inspectors, road engineers, members >f commissions, mismanaged tho I tate institutional finances and yet' here are those who talk about an fficlent administration. Mr. Emmons, cf the General Elecric company was delighted with the onditions pertaining to the branch n this city and the chances are a hundred to one that within a few ears this plant will be one of the I test in this part of the country. Cvery condition is favorable and the I growth Is sure as time. Boost for ! lecatur, the best town in the middle | vest. There is nothing to fear here i n the future if we pull together and | teep smiling. t The Berne Witness says the meetng held by the Democrats at 3erne lacked enthusiasm and numbers. We admit it could have been more enthusiastic but considering the 3001 weather and the fact that the meeting had to be held out of door: he event was an average one for political meetings at the noon hour. 1 couple of hundred people heard tho 'peakers and if it had been Jim Vatson instead of Tom Taggart the recount in the Witness would have been much different, we imagine. There is no reason why every vottr should not understand thoroughly he issues of this campaign and they vill before election day. The early misleading campaign made by the republicans will be met by a fair and quare discussion by the people •vhich will solve every question and dear the minds of those in doubt. A’hen fought out you will find that he voters will support the demoratic party which stands for the ■ommon people and their interests ret wisely led by a business man like Jimmy Cox who has been sue:essful and who is capable. Os the 1.500 republicans in Adams •ounty, Senator Harding was tho :hoice of 85 in the primary last May. At that time the Fort Wayne News was declaring he could not be sleeted, was giving his record from dy to day, and was being supnorted by many other republican lewspapers. He was nominated and o be regular they got behind him but the fact remains that he is tho ame Senator Harding and just as veak now as he was then. If 800 votes can be delivered to him now it vill be going some. We doubt if r’red Rohrer can lead the people of this county around by the nose and leliver them in bunches. Is Harding for the league or gainst it? No one seems to know. Root, one of the greatest lawyers of he world and a republican refuses to agree with Harding’s policies. Borah an irreconcilible senator against the league has cancelled his speaking engagements because he ■an’t find out Harding's position. The other day the candidate said ho was frank to state that he has no definite plans on the agreement. He wobbles as to business, labor, prohibition questions and you are certainly taking a serious chance when you support him. Cox is a real man and says what he means and means what he says. As soon as Tom Taggart had performed his part he left the band stand and in company with John Heller, editor of the Decatur Democrat, paid the Witness establishment a visit. They were shown all ; through the building and Mr. Taggart ■ again and again expressed his sur- . prise and admiration for such an in- ■ stitutlon in a small town. He is a ■ real sport and seldom feels offended 5 at what newspapers say about him. I And this much must be said in his > favor: he is a real business man. —
