" — *■- The primary campaign is closing. After today the lines will be well set. Every qualified voter should help select the candidates Tuesday. Whatever you do, don't forget that May Ist to Oth is ('lean Up Week in , Decatur and to make it a success, every property owner must join iu the Work of cleaning the yards. •* ■■■■■ This was a real spring day and everybody enjoyed it. The farmers are putting two days into one just now in efforts to catch up with the work so long delayed by the spring rains and the cold weather. Daniel W. Simms is a big fellow^and those who heard his address last evening concede that fact. He is recognized as an organizer, a lawyer of ability ami a statesman who believes in the declaration of independence, the constitution of the United States and that thb taking of an oath of office is a serloys’ acL He presented his platform to the voters who hea.d him last evening iu a clear and interesting manner. You cannot vote a split ticket in next Tuesday’s election. Itemember that, for there seems to be a mistaken idea that this is possime. You are (supposed to vote your own ticket which means cither that for which you voted two years ago or which you in tend to vote next November. You can receive but one ballot and must ask for either a democratic or repubiicar. primary ticket when you enter the voting place. John W. Tyndall told those who met at the court room last evening that he would if nominated for congress make a vigorous campaign and if elect ed vCill give his very best efforts to serve the citizens of the great eighth district. He is the kind of a man you can trust to do the right thing and who will fight for the rights of the people. He konws the needs ’of the needs of the farmer and laboring man. the troubles of the business man and manufacturer, is safe and conservative, just the right man for the place. He should receive a solid vote in Adams county next Tuesday.

1' Thurman Gottschalk of this county 18 a candidate (er representative and , his past record deserves recognition >r by the voters at next Tuesday's prim »• ary. The last legislature redistricted "" this county with Wells and bis only opponent la a young man from that J county. Mr. Gottschalk has had exll perience and is recognized as one of 0 the strongest and safest men who K served in the last house. He can serve 0 0 the district to distinct advantage and it is to the best Interests of the voters and citizeus to nominate and elect him 1 The National City Bank of NewYork. after analyzing census figures for 1920, declares that for the first ' time is the history of our country there are more people working in (ac ■ tories than on farms. Fifty years ag< there were more than twice as man) country workers as city workers. Thit not only means that the farmer has a bigger market for his product, but i - that he is S greater buyer of mauu faetured goods, because an increasing ly large proportion of the factory hand are making things for the comfort and convenience of the people in the coun try. If we forget the year or two of hard times, now happily passing, we can see that farming is not a crowdec business, and we can be sure that it will be generally prosperous in tin future. The man who gets discourager bow and leaves the tarm because h< thinks fanning “doesn't pay” is mak . ing a mistake. Most Decatur people feel the injus tice of the public service commission sending two high priced accountant. 1 here to check up the books of the city plant from 1895 to date. A year ag< ho city did this very thing and th< report of Mr. McNaughton was ap proved by a representative sent hen by the commission. Now is seemr hese two men need a job and they are sent here for an all summer visit There is no complaint here as to th< water rate, ,no need for this checkin? up, no sense in causing the city to ex pend several thousand dollars. It ii just such work as this which make: the commission and other state board: inpopuliy and which will eventually result in the abolishments of the of flees. We believe Mayor DeVos: should protest and 1 if this doesn't re suit in the recall of the two experts proceedings to enjoin them should b< filed in court bet's find out jus’ what power these boards and commis sions have. SOCIALIST PARTY LEADERS MET IN CONVENTION TODA) (Continued from page one) Congressman Meyer London. Neu York, were lining up delegates foi what is expected to be a strenuom fight on the question of party leader ship. The former delegations ar< reported to be opposed to Debs ir bis struggle to retrieve leadership temporarily relinquished when h< ■ was sent to Atlanta prison for war time utterances. Anti-Debs factions want a younger man. They point out because of the ill health of the veteran leader he will not be able actively to chrry or at the helm of the socialist ship of state. No definite man. however, was mentioned as a possible succes sor to Debs. As socialists met delegates' to twe large labor conventions were arriv tag. t The order of Railway Conductors and the International Garment Workers meet here Monday. Many delegates already were on hand. A possible combine of the two la bor groups with the socialists in forming the nucelus of a new labor party will be discussed Monday. L. E. Sheppard, president of the conductors, said he would support a move for possible formation of a Jabir party. - -*■— LARGE CLASS TO COMPLETE COURSE SOON (Continued from page one) , bert N. Cramer.

The Decatur high school base ball team opened their season in this city yesterday afternoon when they clashed with the Convoy. Ohio, high school at Bellmont Park. The locals being forced to bow to defeat by a score of 13 to 5. The game was called to 4 O’clock with France Confer as the umpire. Hobby Meyer took the mound for the ocals with White behind the bat and hotlt worked very satisfactory. The entire infield and outfield of the local nine was made up of practically all new men and owing to the lack of experience failed to give the proper support, a number’ of uncalled for errors 'teing committeed which netted the visitors several unearned runs. The game opened with the visitors :racking out several short hits and hey circled the bases for two runs the Irst inning, the locals being forced to •etire in practically one. two, three irder. In the second inning the locals ightened up and retired the visitors with no scores and partly redeemed .hemselves while at bat., registering hree runs and took the lead by one icore. Convoy again took the lead in he third inning by scoring two more ■uns and held the lead throughout, the ocals being unable to score again tin :il near the close of the game, the visitors scoring almost at will the final score resulting., 13 to 5. —, » THE INDAINAPOLIS RACES Indianapolis., Ind... April 29 —With he fight between the Duesenbergs and •Yontonacs raging fiercely for every
possible advantage before the start of he 500-mile dash for slofi,ooo at the ndianapolis Motor Speedway, Tues lay. May 30, comes the announcement hat some brand new blood is being in 'ected into the Duesenberg racing 'eins. It is I. P. Fetterman. of Pittsburg. i “home town” type driver who has 'teen to the Uniontown track what Vilcox, Sarlos and other Indiana pilots tave been to Indianapolis. Practically 'nknown to the Indianapolis race go ts he has won his suprs on eastern racks at old Sheepshead Bay and more especially Uniontown, ,Pa„ form srly his home port. Although he was christened I. Phil 'ip, his name had to be shifted a bit for •itcing. fullowing the style of all pro essionals of the prima donna class. Jut in Fetterman’s case it is just •lain,, “Red”, taken evidently from the ;orrel tinge of his dome covering, vhich tops about six feet of slender humanity. Yesterday's hero —McClellan, White Sox infielder, smacked a homer with two on and beat the Tigers. 9 to 6. He clouted the first ball pitched after Stoneri releaved Midham. Ken Williams hit his seventh homer of the season and gave the Browns a 3 to 2 victory over the Indians. Wally Pipp missed his first jaiue in two years, while the Yanks were beat in gthe Red Sox, 10 to 3. Boston made 1 triple play in the third inning. The Braves were in the lead twice but the Giants made the best of Wat r son’s wildness and won out, 10 to 6. The Senators knocked Harris out B of the box and beat the Athletics, 9 i to 4. King poled out a homer and helped the Phils trim the Robins,, 10 to 7. Two homers by Hornsby and one by McHenry and A insmith sort of helped the Cards sock the Cubs, 11 to 3. j The Reds scored five times on five * hits, a sacrifice and an error and the Pirates lost. 5 to 3. - 1, S_J_t_WANT ADS EARN-4-4—s I. • FEELS LIKE NEW WOMAN n “I was a sufferer torn kidney trouble tor several years." writes Mrs.< Ara thur Demulle, R.

April 39.—bpuclal to ’ Dally Democrat—“ Propspanda has gone mad and It is driving other sagstore and me mad." I In these words, the senator, continuing this story of the inside workIngs of the senate lays bare the new form of “bribery” which has sprung up in the senate. "I have never M'en offered one dollar In way of bribery since I entered the senate,," the senator said, "but many? many attempts have been made to buy me and sell me. "I must confess that at least one of these attemps succeeded. “This very day they are trying it ■ again—those good people back home,, who elect senators because they are ' supposed to be men above bribery or ' corruption of any kind. And then those I same good people weedle and cajole 1 and tempt and bribe their senators into 1 voting the way they want them to I vote. They do it with their little votes. I "Today, they are trying to bribe me by promising me support when I come up for re-election, some time hence, if ' I will support a certain bill. In groups,. I by organisations and as individuals. ' the highly moral folk of my state are I trying to bribe me with their votes to I vote for that measure or against it. just ps their point of view dictates. "They figure 1 am ambitious to stick i in (he senate. A soft life .in Washingi ton at 87.,500 a year, plus mileage, is my price, they feel. They would be astounded if they knew I regarded their letters and telegrams as just so many attempts at bribery. But stop a minute and consider. "It was sent down here to represent the sovereign will of the people—of my own state in part ans of the whole nation. I cannot know that will, in many cases, unless the people express it to me somehow. Hence it is perfectly
