THE TICKET:— With but two weeks of the campaign left interest will naturally turn to the candidates for office. In this' state and county the democrats pre ' sent to you an exceptionally strong ticket, composed of men splendidly qualified. For United States senator the can-1 didate is Samuel M. Ralston, former governor who paid off the Indiana debt and made a splendid record. He is a fine Christian gentleman and if sent to the senate will serve you well. Judge Dan Link of Auburn, one of the best attorneys of northern Indiana and one of our finest citizens is a candidate for secretary of state. With him on that ticket are associated a splendid set of men whom you can safely trust. The county ticket is headed by John W. Tyndall as candidate for congress. You know him as well as we do and you know he is the kind of a man to be sent to Washington just | now. E. B. Lenhart has served as; prosecutor the past four years and I

has a clean record. George L. Saunders who seeks a place in the state senate is editor of the Bluffton Banner, a square and capable man who will do hia utmost to serve you efficiently. Thurman Gottschalk for representative is a high class mun in every way and lias proven his ability. If returned to the legislature ho will be one of the leaders of the lower house. John Nelson, merchant and teacher is the candidate for clerk, courteous and capable; Louis Kleine of Root township, candidate for treasurer is one ot the best farmers of northern Adams county, a plain, honest citizen whom you can trust; John Baker, for sheriff is one of the popular men. having been in business in this city for a quarter century and would be a most trustworthy official; Dr. Mattox of Geneva 'is now serving as coroner and asks re-election; Dick Bock has made a splendid record as surveyor the past two years and should be returned. . He is a licensed engineer under the new state law’ and is qualified In' every way; William Zimmerman Whol asks to be assessor for the county, a very important job, is one of the substantial farmers of the county who will watch your interests in making assessments; Ernst Conrad, for commissioner first district has served one term with credit and George Shoemaker, for the third dis-1 trict is one of the leading men of Wabash township. Both are men who will consider the matters of business which come before them with the greatest care. You can vote the democratic ticket in Adams county and in Indiana this year with the assurance that each ■ man is fitted for the place he asks' and supporting the democratic platform, will fight for your best interests. It is not unusual a month before the election for indications to favor I the democrats and it is not unusual ; either to see the last days of the campaign signalled by great effort and a - display of advertising and publicspeaking their opponents win out. This year however the outlook for the democrats brightens as the days go on and it is predicted every where that the democrats will gain. In the i east and in the west this is true, even ■ old Michigan which has not sent a I democrat to the United States senate since the war is preparing to give that honor to Mr. Ferris. In Indiana, the people, tired of extravagance and j high taxes caused by the new lawwill undoubtedly vote the democratic ticket and send Sam Ralston to the senate. In this county much interest is now being manifested and an election day orzanization which will get out the vote will restore an old time majority. Election comes two weeks from tomorrow and there is work for those who believe in the Jeffersonian principals. A dozen political meetings will be held over the county this week by the democrats, local and visiting speakers giving the important message of the campaign to the voters. I Attend the meetings and take your part in conducting affairs of governI ment.

fIUCKYA (STRIKE/ It’s toasted. This one extra process gives a delightful quality that can not be duplicated ■■■■■—■■Ml The administration Is worried about Ohio. They would be just as much worried about Indiana and a dozen other states if a straw vote was being taken. In the Buckeye state the Cincinnati Enquirer and the I Columbus Dispatch have been taking ' straw vote* and the result* show a I complete reversal from the balloting of two years ago. What is true there is likewise true elsewhere. The people are tired of the do-nothing congress and the normalcy program. The tariff is just becoming effective. In a few weeks it will be on good and there will be no efforts to ; hide it from the public for the elec- | tion will be over. It's there just the same and will assist in preventing a return to real, healthy good times. You need a congress to repeal the Fordney tariff and change the income I tax laws if you would reduce your overhead. The Adams County Witness, defending the record of Mr. Vestal, fails to tell why Katherine Miller draw* a salary from the government, charged to Mr. Vestal. Besides there is Mary Null)’, Mrs. Vestal and Margaret Metzell. The explanation recently attempted doesn’t begin to squa-e with the records at Washington. Four years ago Washington township sent $6,493.30 to the state, our share of the taxes for state government. This year it costs $12,270.56 Let them explain that for you get nothing more now than you did four years ago and salaries of officers are unchanged. Hon. Walter Myers, ranked as Indiana's leading young! orator, will address the voters of this community at the court room tomorrow evening. Hear him. PHI DELTA KAPPA The Phi Delta Kappa fraternity will hold a meeting in the fraternity rooms at 7:30 o’clock tonight. All members are urged to attend.
