John A. M. Adair will come to DeCJtur next Thursday and will visit the voters in this section of the country. closing with a speech at the court house at night. Rumors that Governor Branch is to resign persist in coming from Indianapolis and the arrival of James J. Nedjl at the capital yesterday added to the strength of reports. Branch is still “nervous” it is reported and the business of the great state of Indiana stands still notwithstanding the news stories that the “governor spent a busy day at the state house” occasionally. Now it is being charged that the Literary Digest vote ig a republican political plan in which postmasters over the country are assisting and an investigation has started to discover the details and punish those who have engaged in the scheme. Senator Harris, Congressman Byrnes and other s are now engaged in the effort to get at the bottom of the straw vote propaganda campaign and to ascertain who is paying the expense of the gigantic effort to make it appear that the country is for the republican party and their record of the past several years. Walter Johnson, pitching “ace” in baseball, lost hi s big chance yesterday when he attempted the second time during the present world series to stof> the New York Giants. They walloped him for thirteen hits and won the game by a score of six to two. For a score of years Walt has been trying to get a chance at a world series and his friends pulled with him. Yesterday each time he came to bat he was given a wonderful welcome of applause even though playing in the home town of his opponents. At that he is still a hero with the millions of fans over the country who like his fair play, his smile, his wonderful skill and his honest efforts.

So long as this is, and as it mus be, a government by political par ties, you cannot wash out any pari of the record of a political party by having this, that or the other Indi vidual rise jnd say: "For myself, my conscience is clear and void of all offenses.” We try political parties in this country as corporate organizations and if we wish to maintain the doctnne of party government, we must hold them to strict accountability for the things that they have done; and without that, our whole machinery of‘popular government becomes a base fraud and an absolute deception.—From speech of John W. Davis.

The vote is registered and only those so qualified can vote on November 4th. It now becomes your duty as a good American citizen to see that ’ the vote is cast and that those men are elected to office who can and will serve you best. To do this a complete organization should be made in every precinct and the vote cast on! election. That should be your duty a s well as the duty of the others.' Ycu criticize those who work at the

game of politics and call them politicians. You should be a politician also, at least you should take enough interest in politics to do your best to get out the vote. There are but three weeks left of the campaign and it be hooves all of us to use that time to . the best advantage. We congratulate Dore B. Erwin, well known local attorney, for the great honor yesterday bestowed upon him, iu his selection as Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias lodge of Indiana, highest office in that strong order and we congratulate the lodge upon their selection for Mr. Erwin is capable, table and industrious. He will do his beat to serve his order in the very best manner possible. Among his most important duties during bis year will be hi s part in the selection of a site for the location of the new half-iniiiion-dollar home to be erected next year by the Knights. As a member of the state finance board of the organization, Mr. Erwin 'appointed W. A. Lower, of this city. Mr. Erwin’s position is an important one, an honor and a credit to his community. We are all proud of his splendid achievement. That the Ed Jackson crowd in republican state headquarters is now openly knifing Arthur Gilliom. of South Bend, republican candidate for Attorney General, is said to be fully supported by a large bill distributed in republican state headquarters showing a list of republican state and congressional candidates. The bill, or circular conspicuously omits the name of Gilliom, although all other candidates are included. For many day s it has been reported that Gilliom would be one of the victims of a good- j sized double-cross by the Jackson crowd, but many republicans have expressed surprise that it should be started so boldly and so early in the campaign. Some of the bills mentioned have been prominently dis played on the walls of republican headquarters. “It seem g to be anything to save Jackson and Van Or man,” said one republican. •

Anybody who can explain how Mr. Coolidge could fail to have a commanding lead in the Literary Digest’s poll is entitled to put in a claim as master of the world's highest mathematics. According to the Literary Digest’s own figures, defining party members as they voted in the last election, the Digest has sent its ballots to 402,189 republicans and 141,868 democrats. The Digest has thus given twenty-eight republicans a chance to vote for every ten democrats who have one of its post-card ballots. But in the eighteen states from which results have been reported, the ratio of republicans to democrats, even in the landslide year of 1920. wa 8 only 20.6 to 10. The difference between 28 to 10 and 20.6 to 10 is difference enough to weight the election hopelessly against 'a democratic candidate. Os course, the Digest doesn't rig its voting list. But the electorate it polls is no more a true sample even of the 1920 elctorate than those proportions indicate. —New York World. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE What have you done with your talent today?
