If you haven’t done so remember it is a duty you owe to yourself and your community. The campaign will be over at six b’clock this evening. On each side there has been a deep earnestness and an effort to win. The returns will give the verdict of the people and the majority rules. It would have been fairer if the opposition had put out their final sheet in time for us to have answered for we assure them that we would have not attempted to injure the character or the business of any of them and we doubt if they felt the same way about us. • ! Returns will be received at this office and gladly given to the public by bulletins, announcement and over tho telephone. The “bagpipe" will continue to give you the news of the city, county, state and nation. The ladies will receive returns in the headquarters rooms over this office and all are invited. The campaign which started rather quietly closed last evening in a manner which indicated that it would not have been hard to have so divided the community that future co-operation would have been impossible. Its easy to see how in those cities where the bars were let down many things were said that later will be regretted. Malicious as the last “yellow sheet" put out by the republicans was, we doubt if it made a vote. The arguments were childish and evidently only used to say mean things about this paper and the editor. We were not an issue and had only given the public our ideas of the questions before the people. A reply was immediately printed and distributed to the voters of Decatur. The “mud-slinging” sheet put out after dark and signed by the republican candidates was apparently done more to kill the influence of this IE I / Get a Can WfelS / TO DAY TOwj I From Your I Hardware "A I or Grocery Dealer\

f paper and the author did no? hesitate to say anything which came to his mind withdfM consideration of any i. other question than politics, r standing the fact that we had made '• an honest effort to give thejs a clean p campaign. We resent the attack. At least we know to what length they would have gone had they had s the same advantage we bad. s 3 s In reply to the final sheet of the ) ) republican candidates sent out last 1 evening after the Daily Democrat went to press, liie editor of this paper 1 issued a denial of the charges made against him and dozens of men vol- ’ unteered to distribute them. This was done early this morning so that the voters could have the denial before casting their vote. We feel that the attack made against us was unneccessary and undeserved and we are sure it was poor politics on the part of those who did it. We were in no sense an issue in the campaign and the voters we are sure prefer a discussion of issues rather than personalities. Calling us names wa s a silly argument and served only to increase the efforts of the democrats. This was shown from the expressions at the democratic headquarters meeting and the offers of services and cars. The “Bagpipe” has not played its last tune. DRAMATIC NIGHT (Continued from page one) Her son, Tony Virgene Smith Middle Aged Business Man Leona Bossee His Soul Marie Porter Sissors Grinder Fannie Hite His Soul Margaret Smith Scrub Woman Lois Connell Her Soul Mrs. Fred Elzey The Second Play. In the second play. **A -Woman's a Woman for A' That,” the scene was laid in the living room of the summer cottage of the rich Mrs. Stymie was had not always been rich and whose endeavors to make her vocab u'ary live up to her pocketbook caused screams of laughter. Her son who had a mainia for golf, painted h : s eyes and seined illness to avoid ■.(tending a social function in the afternoon. The doctor arrived and after pronouncing a preposterously long name for the case said that it was caused from keeping his eyes on the b ill when he played golf. The mother thought this very foolish as her son should have kept his eyes in his head. A trained nurse was called and the mother then worried over the pretty little nurse capturing her son. The doctor prescribed leaches to be applied to the patients eyes but no one would administer the treatment. Finally the veterinary surgeon was called and the play ended by the son rubbing off the coloring from his eyes and declaring that “A Woman’s a Woman for A’ That.” The cast was as follows: Mrs. Stymie, Eva Acker; Her son, Martha Tynei; The lady doctor, Arta Arnold: Veterinary surgeon, Eleanor Connell; Nurse, Celeste Neptune. Poth plays afforded much amusement and were unusually clever. The a’ ting was splendid and portrayed real talent on the part of the partic'pants. e —.— NOTICE The W. C. T.

Allen, of 2816 English Avenue, Indianapolis, Wife of a night policeman. • "My husband's chief trouble, before f he took Pepgen, was indigestion.

am now able to do my work. I recommend the Vegetable Compound to my friends and you may use these facts as a testimonial.”—Mrs. Sallie Siefert, 313 W. Fourth Street, Pottsville, Pa. The everyday life of many housewives is a continual struggle with weakness and pain. There is nothing more wearing than the ceaseless round of household duties and they become doubly hard when some female trouble makes every bone and muscle ache, and nerves all on i edge. If you are one of these women do not suffer for four or five years as Mrs. Siefert did. but profit by her experience and be restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. DOCTOR SAYS RADIUM WILL NOT CURE CANCER United Press Service. London, Nov. B—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Is radium, hailed by the medical profession as a panacea for the deadly cancerous diseases, a failure? It is, according to Sir Thomas Parkinson, a noted specialist and physician to Lloyd George, in an interview upon his arrival in New Zealand. It is not, according to other London specialists, who term Sir Thomas’s statement, “nonsense,” “Radium is a failure,” Sir Thomas said. “It is not only not effective as a remedy, but it is dangerous, because its burning effect aggravates, instead of curing disease. Many leading surgeons have discarded it in favor of X-rays.” William Farnuin in “The Rainbow ' Trail” at the Crystal tonight.

WANTS GASOLINE TAX Indianapolis. Nov. 8. —A state gaso- • line tax it the only equitable means 1 for Indiana to raise money for high- • way upkeep and Improvement, Tom Snyder, secretary of the Indiana highway transport and terminal assoda- ’ tion, said today. Here is the way he bases his conclusion: The heavier the automobile the 1 more it wears the highway, and also. ! the more gasoline it uses. ; Machines coming here from other T states pay for the roads in their own states, but they wear out Indiana , roads. They are not in Indiana long, . however, until the drivers buy gas--1 oline. ' "When* business becomes normal i and the railroads become so congest- - ed that the use ot trucks will be resorted to, there will be an enormous amount of wear on the highways.” ; Snyder said. “The roads as now built, will not be able to stand'under thl« ’ wear. But if the legislature would , enact a lew taxing gasoline, an ’ amount small enough that every consumer could afford to pay, the revenue would be enormous. It would enable the highway department to. build substantial roads that would not show signs of wear for fifty years.” A RABBIT BANQUET , Warsaw, Ind., Nov. 8. —Clubs, societies and lodges of Warsaw and other Kosciusko county towns are scheduling rabbit banquets in advance of the actual bagging of the cottontails.
