known citizens of the town and a deserving one. Reared and educated here, he has made his own way in a quiet profressive way. He served eight years as city clerk and knows the laws and ordinances which control the city and in all his public career, has proven himself an excellent official. He is approachable, has the time to devote to the job and will do his duty every minute and in every way. Mrs. Kauffman and Mrs. Kinzle, candidates respectively for clerk and treasurer are competent, capable and in every way excellent candidates for the honor of being the first women to be elected to office in Adams county. The candidates for councilmen are business citizens who own their homes and whose interests are the same as yours. Mr. Beavers is a furniture dealer who has- made good and who is considered a careful business man; Mr. Runyon was for many years engaged in general business here and still has interests in the city and county; Fred Ashbaucher is a hustling, clever, progressive but careful young man. engaged in business for himself; George Krick is acknowledged to be a man who is needed on any council, a member of Krick, Tyndall & Co., with a knowledge of a good business executive. Mr. Peoples was in business here for a long time and is an energetic, careful man, honest, courteous and mindful of the rights of the people. It is a splendid ticket and one no democrat need apologize for a single moment. ELECTION DAY 1 DRAWING NEAR: — Two weeks from today the legal voters, men and women of the city of Decatur will elect a mayor, clerk, treasurer and five councilmen to serve for the next four years, beginning January Ist Up to this time the campaign has been an exceedingly quiet one, the i candidates making a personal cam- . paign and talking over methods of, action. From this time on there will i be more or less activity. The fact' that the candidates are running up-1 on the democratic -and republican!

ECONOMY IS JUST A JOKE (By Wallace Bassford, Special News Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Oct. 24 Every day the Washington newspapers contain Republican preachments of economy.* and occasionally there creeps into the news columns a concrete example of the sort of economy it really is; it is economy for the wage-earner in the navy yards and extravagance run wild in the places where personal and political pull are most effective. Here is a sample from the salary list of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. The first column gives the salaries received under tlu? Wilson administration. while the second column gives present salaries. Os course it would be ridiculous to assert that these men whose salaries were increased 500 to 600 per cent would not have remained with the bank at increases of 100 or 200 per cent. Be it remembered that every salary grab of this kind inevitably passes on to the taxpayers and consumers of the country like the law of gravitation, it operates all the time. Here are the figures from the Manufacturers’ Record: Benjamin Strong $304)00 io $50,000 Pierre Jay 16,000 to 30,000 .1. H. Chase 20,000t0 30;000 E. R. Kensel 4,000 to 25,000 L. jF. Sailer 7,000 to 25,000 G. L. Harrison 4,000 to 22.000 L. kl. Hendricks 6.000t0 18.000 Shephard Morgan 5.000 to 15.0CM4 J. 1). Biggins 2,500 to 12,000 J. W. Jones 2,500t0 12,000 L. R. Rounds 2,000 Io 12,000 J. L. Morris 9,000 to 12,000 W. D. Matteson 1.500 to 10,000 A. J. Lins 1,500 to 10,000

tickets, makes the election, beyond any question of a doubt, a partisan one and the usual desire for whatever advantage follow# the election of officials is evident in this contest. The democrats in their primary nominated a splendid ticket, composed of men and women of the highest quality, tax paying, property owning. Decatur admiring citizens who if elected, will give their very best efforts to your services. They are qualified in every way and while we have no quarrel with the good citizens on the republican ticket, we are sure there are many reasons why the democratic ticket should be elected on November Btb, in this city which has a majority of several hundred. They will give their time, six days a week to the job. Mr. DeVoss has had many years experience and knows

the laws under which the city operates, better perhaps than any man in Decatur, while the other candidates are each capable and deserving. The campaign is on. It should be snappy, clean and effective-and every citizen entitled to vote, should make it his or her business, so to do. Secretary Mellon of the United States treasury, has issued au order regulating the sale of beer and ruling that beer, the real for sure kind that has authority, can now be manufactured and sold for medicinal purposes. Those who worked fifteen hours on election day for what they called a dry administration must now realize that they were simply working with their enemies. With about 200,000 untried cases in the hands of the department of justice, for violations of liquor laws, with enforce-, meat agents charged with selling out. with more liquor being manufactured and drank than in the open days, and with the added permission of beer, but little argument should be necessary to convince those who believe in unholding the laws of the nation, that they were being fooled. The railroads are going upon the theory that there will be a strike 1 and‘that it will be a serious one. < Representatives are visiting each i town and city to warn the people and to ask the co-operation of the authorities and citizens for the protection of property if necessary and to keep the food and mail trains in operation if the worst comes to worst. However you vote and whatever your opinion of the candidates and j the issues in the coming election, < you owe it to yourself and the city 1 you call home, to vote on November 1 c Sth. | < The beer riding ■will effect those i living in Indiana but slightly as the < state is bone dry and those who ■ hunger for the old fashioned brew will have to go to some other state < to have their billions attack. Does the Adams County Witness endorse the action of Secretary Mel- , lon on the beer ruling? Shades of ■ election promises.
