Democratic committeemen. workers, men and women and the candidates should attend the meeting called by Mr. Fruchte for Thursday morning of this week when plans will be discussed for the campaign, soon to open. It you are interested in lower taxes, in government by the people for the people, you should take an interest in political affairs this year. The record made by Samuel M. Ralston as governor of Indiana, when he wiped out the entire state debt and left a balance of three million dollars in the treasury should appeal to the voters of Indiana this year for there is certainly a demand for the old fashioned careful business man in public life. He has the ability to represent this fitate In the Senate, Is honest and believes in the rights of the people. It will soon be time to think it over. This is the week for the big fair and a glance at the grounds will con vinee you that the preparations have been carefully completed. The dis plays, the exhibits, the race horses, the shows, the stands, the free acts —everything which goes to make fair week a great big event, have been located and every one is ready for the big opening day tomorrow. Please remember the request to decorate your business place and hang a flag or two out at home. The miners are willing to return to work, the investigations of Governor McCray shows, but the operators object. Evidently they like these prices of coal, fifteen to twenty dol lars a ton and they don’t care a tinker's darn about the people. If that is the case the matter should be easily disposed of for why should a handful of greedy coal mine owners hold up the entire state and what exists in Indiana is no doubt true in other states. And its sure time to get busy. Decatur business men lost a lot of money this morning as a result of the cloud burst. The sewer failed to carry the water off and the basements were flooded with disastrous results. At this office alone the loss will reach several hundred dollars, ,’ust what should be done we do not know but we believe it is time that engineers figure out what will relieve the situation and prevent losses each time we have an hour’s rain. If our sewerage system is not adequate we should have one that is, if the fault Is some where else let’s know’ it so it can be corrected. 'Until this season there has been no serious trouble.

—■■ — f The Portland Republican demand- ' ed from Albest Vestal that he . ex- ( plain the charges made by the New York World that he was receiving at least part of the salaries allowed to other employes ot luo government and the only explanation made was that instead of his son being his secretary it was his wife. Now the Republican is against Vestal and says so in plain words and it is predicted that Jay county will give TyndalJ. a rear majority in November. We suggest also that while investigating Mr. Vestal’s reerrd, inquiry bn made as to who paid Mrs. Vestal’s expenses to Europe last year., p. Out ot the mysterious nowhere the Indiana republicans have again secured a gigantic slush fund with

Perhaps the 1922 fund so necessary also has something to do with it. Any way a force of two score people are now at work in the Indianapolis headquarters and district managers are being assured plenty of funds to cover all expenses. It the people are content to accept the lame excuses they will offer for mismaiir agement and continue the boards and commissions for another two years they should prepare to accept without grumbling, any taxes imposed upon them and they will get them sure enough.

HUNDREDS SAW SHOWS UNLOAD People Surprised at Magnitude of Zeidman & Pollie Exposition Shows Hundreds of people gathered at the G. It. & I. railroad station yesterday evening to watch the Zeidman and Pollie Exposition shows unload. The show arrived about 6 o'clock, via special train of twenty-five cars, gaily painted in a golden color. The Zeidman and Pollie shows are leaders in the Exposition show world, and their outfit rivals that of the big circuses. The unloading moved with smoothness and precision and practically everything had been moved to the fair grounds before the night was very far advanced. The shows have their own tractors and horses to move the big heavy wagons. Among the animals carried by the shows are a herd of western steers, branded ponies, bears, monkeys, goats, dogs, and several other species. As soon as the tents and other prop erty had arrived on the fair ground i force of men began erecting the tents and the eight riding devices. The work was being rushed this morning and the manager announced that everything would be ready for the opening at 7 o’clock tonight. This is ' ne of the largest and best outfit of shows ever placed on the midway of the Northern Indiana fair. The five pullman cars carried by the shows, are parked on the side track near the G. R. & 1. station and all of the nearly five hundred people sleep in them. 1 xpressions of surprise came from many people last night when they saw the magnitude of the shows. They did not expect to see such a large num her of wagons, animals, shows, and the like, and they were favorably impressed with the clean and up-to-date appearance of everything. •—, FROG EYES WIN ANOTHER The Frog Eye base ball team of near this city added another victory to their list yesterday afternoon when they met and defeated the fast Ft. Wayne Royal Ace team by a score of 14 to 8. The game was well played by both teams and proved interesting at all times. The Frog Eyes announce that they have several open dates, next Sunday and the following Sunday, and arc desirous of games. Anybody wanting a game is requested to notify Phil Sauer. * ■ - BLUFFTON ROTARIANS STAGE BIG RALLY AND WIN FROM HUNTINGTON
