The women of Decatur are organizing to assist the democrats win the election. They will conduct several public meetings and wll complete an organization in each precinct. The cyclop s of Dallas, Texas, has announced that they will retire from politics in that statp and it is quite probable that after November 4th. they will retire from politics in Indi- 1 ana as well. Congressman T. Weber Wilson, the sixth district of Mississippi has been assigned to this city for a speech next Wednesday evening. Mr. Wilson i g considered one of the brilliant orators of the south and his address 1 will be of interest to those who hear him. Mr. Adair brings a message of victory after covering the entire district. Indications in every county' are bright and Mr. Adair sincerely believes he will be elected to congress on the 4th day of November. | He has devoted the first three days of this week to Deleware county, where he had splendid meetings and where he is assured of hearty sup-i port. John A. M. Adair, who served us: ten years in congress and did it well,l is asking to be returned to that high and honorable position. His opponent is Albert H. Vestal, who has nowhad eight years at the job. We wish for your own benefit you would compare the records of these two men

and thus ascertain which of them you believe is best equipped in every way to serve the old eighth district. Mr. Adair will speak at the court house tonight and you are most cordially invited to hear him. Senator Harvey Harmon, democratic candidate for attorney general, a splendid lawyer and a unighty fine citizen of Princeton, Indiana, will address the voters at Geneva next Monday evening. One week later Hon. George Emerson Francis, the famous lecturer will speak at the Berne auditorium. In the meantime meetings will be held in various parts of the county and the issues of the campaign

will be thoroughly discussed. There is no reason why we should not all be posted. This is a democratic county, always has been and will continue so to vote for a majority of the citizens ot this county believe in the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson. This year with a splendid lot of candidates and a platform for the people, there is every reason why the ticket should be supported. The local candidates are competent and capable men who deserve your support. The state and ' national candidates are all qualified high class men. This is an important election. Make no mistakes as to how you vote. The Jefferson doctrine of democracy teaches that best government is obtained when the people retain eon-' troi in the smallest unit while the' Hamiltonian doctrine of republican-’ ism teaches that best government is X 1

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With THOMAS E. WILSON Chicago's Famous Meat Packer ‘ (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) i I Y ear ago, when 1 met Thomas E. ( Wilson in the stock yards in Chicago. I he was as happy as if he were on an , enchanted isle. For fifteen years he i worked for Morris & Company withrout a vacation, and many Sundays found him at the yards. He explained it all to me then: “The work is fascinatinng. The packing business is developing something new to be tackled every day. 1 have breakfast at 5:30 every morning and never leave before 9 at night —it isn't laborous; it is just absorb ingly interesting.” The story was current in the stock yards then of ho w he made his start in the packing business. Landing in the Grand Trunk station from

'Lodon, Canada, his first thought was a job. The C. 11. & Q. office wanted a clerk. He became a good clerk. When they wanted one of his superiors to go down and check out cars at the stock yards he refused; he was superior to that. Yonng Wilson asked for the rejected job. The transi'tion from the handsome offices, the roll top de?ks. to the grimy planks (Os the stock yard was a sharp con-. trast. Young Wilson was red bloodod and ambitious and worked night and day with the men. As one said: “He fellowshipped with his coworkers.” I In his forties he found himself at , the head of a large packing busi- , ness and made a trademark of the letter ‘W", standing for the name Wilson, known the world over. Gigantic obstacles were pushed aside and real battles of business against i tremendous odds were won A giant physically and mentally, of sturdy , Scotch Irish stock, with clean cut features, deep sunk eyes and a square-set jaw that has a sort of a I “go through” aspect that meant busi--1 ness whether on a salary or providing the salaries and wages he threw himself into the business. ! While being educated in the high ; school, his father met with reverses and he had to go to work. This cut short plans for a college education, jbut he matriculated at once for the I “University of Hard Work.” i In the days of his greatest success I he turned his grey eyes upon me and remarked with a smile: | “Don't call me a wonder. I am no wiser or brainer than other people, . but 1 do enjoy my work —and how ' . can success come in any other way? i Having confidence in yourself and de-! • light in your work, what is a better ’ combination of life? The eternal i present counts with me. for we car.-[

obtained when power- is centralized. We have a sample of it in the boards and commissions of Indiana, which ought,' to be reason enough for every thinking citizen to vote the democratc ticket. If they are not soon stopped the people of this republic will have little control and little to say 1 about, their government. The ball is constantly being wound tighter. last Sunday two Kosciusko county men named Miller and Frooley went to Mud Lake near Pierceton, drank • quart of moonshine, quarreled and

agreed to go out on the lake in a boat and there fight it out. They did. Miller hit Frohley with a board, knocked him overboard and watched him drown. Yesterday-Miller pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was gives a sentence of two to fourteen years in prison. The only thing about it that will meet some approval is ■the fact that a kind of justice was measured out speedily, but the two year part of the sentence is surely a light punishment for such a terrible crime. Ed Jackson has the old-fashioned idea that he has the right to do any thing which builds a personal political machine which will boost him. It’ is claimed that he is a prospective i | candidate for senator in two years; . from now, provided he can win the , governorship which would give him I the appointment of several thousand • helpers.

not travel far on the past and it is the achievements in prospect tha bring the lure in business. “In the stock yards my first work was to make record of the car mileage, charging up the railroads the rental of stop-cars and refrigeratoi cars. Then I became purchasinr agent, and I think I carried in mj head almost every sort of materia 1 necessary in the business. The con Istructive work of the business, open ing new plants and looking after nev markets, providing buildings, choos ing a lotal man to run the business for my firm was the objective on the schedule day by day.” In these later days he has found difficulties dealing with some satai stockholders, but the spirit of loyal ty and admiration for Tom Wilson among those who have worked with him will carry through the problems that might appall a less determined man. There is scarcely an individual bn the “Wilson" payroll who has not felt that he had a friend in “Tom' Wilson and that his own success was, in some way, assured by what the Wilson corporation could accomplish Wilson knows how to trust and win the confidence of his men. a traithat has been exemplified in his or ganization. His whole-hearted interest in thepacking business is indicated in his stock farm, where he has followed out in a practical way the basic prob lerns of the stock grower. Serving in the first infantry of the Illinois National Guard for seven years, he 1 proved that he had the spirit of the , American volunteer, and has well earned his title as one of America's i foremost industrial leaders.

His record 1 as secretary of state shows that he is an expensive state official and his promises of reform are generalities which mean nothing. Dr. McCulloch tellg yon how he proposes to reduce the expense of state government by the combining or abolishment of state boards and commissions and in various other ways. That ought to be sufficient to cause you to vote for him. [ o 1 _ I a < Big Features Os J | RADIO I Programs Today A THURSDAY’S RADIO PROGRAM . (Copyrigfit 1924 by United Press).
