Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter THE WINNERS: — By a decisive vote the people have Expressed their preferences as to ■who shall serve them as city officials during the next four years. While many reasons for these results have been heard the principal one is that this is a democratic city and when organized and up on their toes they me hard to defeat. We believe the methods used by the opponents assisted in doing this but we believe also that the splendid citizens on the democratic ticket secured and deserved the confidence given them. Huber M. DeVoss is a clean and capable man who will do his utmost as mayor of the city. He is a trustee of the Presbyterina church, a clean man in every way and is desirous of j serving you to the best interests of j the city. Mrs. Katherine Kaukman, clerkelect and Mrs. Flora Kinzle, treasurer, are capable women who will learn the work of their offices and 1 strive to please you. The council will be composed of

The f result is not only one of confidence for the candidates chosen but is a x. a vindication of the present administration which was attacked by the opposition. d The truth is that the present officialg have tried their very best to f serve you and as a result we have a clean city and a modern one. The laws have been enforced and the affairs of the city are in excellent conti dition and this is not campaign talk. n The citv indebtedness, including j» unpaid bills is $143,000 of which more than SIOO,OOO was spent during c the vear for improvements.

i'the council did everything possible to meet this except by raising rates. The offlclals-elect are capable and j honest and we are sure they will serve you to the limit of their ability. This is a splendid city and getting better. The next four years will be important and we believe the mon and women given charge of affairs will meet your approval by their services. The campaign waged rather warm the last few days. There were charge? and counter charges and no doubt things were said in the heat of battle which should not have been said, but its time to forget them and to again join hands in continuing the march of progress. We are satisfied with the results of the election liere and else where and we believe it will mean much tor the people. The republican landslide a year ago -while a great victory for them was a dangerous thing for the country for the nation must have two fighting political parties and when one party is in complete control of the nation that body usually wrecks itself. Those who predicted that the democratic party was dead will have another guess coming for they proved themselves very much alive yesterday. The democrats are coming back if today’s returns are an indication. In more than thirty cities in Indiana, in New York state, in Virginia and over the entire country the returns disclose a wonderful change since a year ago. In Marion, Ohio, the home

of President Harding, a democrat was elected mayor by a large majority. Evidently the people are not greatly pleased with the present administration and the trend will continue against them until they do the things demanded. In many cities in this part of the state the democrats so overwhelmingly beaten a year ago came back with a speed that could not be checked. Bluffton, Hartford City, Portland. Huntington, Wabash, Fort Wayne, Elkhart and others whipped into line and elected democratic officials. The many - friends - herc'of Mr. Ross O. Johnson are pleased with his victory in Gary. He came back and won and being an Adams county boy his loyal friends in Adams county congratulate him. Election day in Decatur was the

liveliest in many years. Each party was well organized for the work and had plenty of men and women at the polls. Each vote was carefully watched and there were numerous challenges. Chairman Sellemeyer urged not only a clean campaign but a clean election and fought for it and he deserves much credit. While Eugene Runyon was defeated by a few votes in yesterday’s elec tion, he made an excellent showing and has nothing to feel ashamed of. The second ward has for several years been a very close one politically and has for four years past been represented by Logan, elected I on the republican ticket. Women proved themselves regular in yesterday’s election. Mrs. Kinzle leads the ticket and Mrs. Kauffman made a splendid showing. The Assistance given by the precinct women workers was wonderful and they deserve much credit for the splendid victory, a J. O. Sellemeyer, city chairman for the democrats, conducted a clean campaign and won a victory worth while. He had the confidence of his workers and he put energy and enthusiasm into the heart of those who assisted. After all calling this paper names, wasn't a real argument, and the final attack we believe cost the republican candidates many, votes. It made t h , e democratic workers go out and fight and enthused many who before that were listless. ’j Berne came back yesterday and piled up a two to one victory for the democratic ticket, good n<™« from that community.

After all it was just a little election right here among ourselves and we are all good enough citizens to accept the verdict and smile. Being a good sport is the best proof of bigness and broadness. When we mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you ought to get ‘snappy” wc didn't mean that you should snap everybody. It certainly did warm up. Accusing decent people of being bootleggers and - unfit citizens doesn't win elections in this day and age. And the next day it snowed. - .» SPORT NEWS The Practice Schedule.

<9 J A EDWIN W. FIELD, Milwaukee, Wis. • “I'm convinced if I had taken Tanlac two years ago, when my troubles first began. I would have been saved a world of suffering,” said Ed. W. Field. 538 Jefferson street, Milwaukee, Wis. “My case proved that when a man’s stomach goes wrong, everything goes ■wrong with him. The first thing I noticed out of the way was loss of appetite and next, that no matter how sparingly I ate, I was sure to have an attack of indigestion. This was two years ago and from that time on, until after I started on Tanlac. 1 kept going down hill at a steady rate. I finally got so I couldn’t walk a couple of blocks without having to stop and rest and I was so nervous all night long. "Tanlac has made a new man out of me, my stomach is as sound as a dollar and I feel fine all the time. 1 am a firm believer in Tanlac because I know it delivers the goods.” Tanlac is sold in Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk and by leading drug gists everywhere.

INTERESTING CARCASS CONTESTS Tho keen breeder and feeder will always be intensely interested in the finel outcome of his breeding and footling operations No better npportunlty Is afforded the meat producer to check up on his results than by exhibiting lu the carcass competition. Many feeders have little conception of the way their cattle, hogS and sheep will kill and cut on the block. The knife always reveals facts never before dreamed of by the average producer. Some breeders who have exhibited in the carcass classes regularly for n number of years claim this to be the greatest educational feature of the entire show. While this is a great educational feature for everyohe, ft is especially interesting and valuable to the man who has watched the development of the live animal. Men who have been brought up in the game have been selected to pass on the dressed carcasses. They are only too glad to explain the differences in the carcasses and wholesale cuts and tell how the meat should be and why. The men selected for judges have learned by actual experience what the consumer demands in the way of meat. Do not fail to see these interesting contests at the 1921 International Live Stock Exposition of Chicago, November 26th to December 3rd. —— • KNITTLE AINSWORTH Sunday, November 6th Mr. Dewey Ainsworth and Miss Opal Knittie motored to the home of Rev.
