Watch for announcements and program for the big closing rally of the) campaign in this city the night of November Ist. Plans are now being made. Os course Mr. Vestal will explain in his speech here tomorrow just how he figures a four-square congressman can have several of his family who do no work, on his pay roll at your expense and how he arranges to take so many delightful trips to Panama and Europe. Berne democrats will rally next Monday night and you are urged to attend the meeting. There will be a band concert and a good time. The speeches will be made by Everett Sehug, who will preside; Hon. T. A. Gottschalk, candidate for representative and Hon. George Emerson Francis. noted lecturer and statesman The Saxophone quartette will sing several selections and the occasion will be one of the most interesting of the campaign. Don't overlook it. Senator Watson will no doubt explain thoroughly when he speaks here Friday afternoon just what he meant he said a few days ago that the wav for farmers to secure better

prices for their products is to take a vacation for a couple of years. Wouldn’t that be nice? Os course after you have starved to death or nearly so you won't care just what happens and by that time any price would look good. It reminds us of some other silly statements the senior senator from Indiana, has made from time to time. Six thousand colored men and woipeti attended a democratic meeting p'annes and carried out by themselves at Indianapolis Sunday. The meting ws held at Tomlinson hall which -was well filled and was proceeded by a parade six blocks long. Among the banners carried were these: "We vote this time on issues, ' "Let’s see that Kautiou s Kai Kwits.” "Tie down the state house or they’ll steal it,” "Lincoln *is not running this year, ’ "Indiana’s war hero Ed Jackson, fought six weeks at Ft. Purdue University." The event was unusual to sav the least. / The republican campaign has been one deliberately planned to discourage the democrats. For this purpose they have published fake straw votes, predictions and statements from their chairmen and leaders. The idea hart been to cause the democratic worker to quit but in this they have failed? With their millions of dollars with which to buy publicity the republicans

have mad<» their bluff. Now It will l soon be up t 0 the voters to decide “ whether they want four years more of ( ool'.rlge-Mellon - Jackson et al or J whether they want Davis, McCnlloc\ , and men who stand and fight tor the t people. One of ,t he 'very* important political I meetings this week for the democrats will be the meeting of the women* worker g and voters at headquarters* at 7:3d Friday evening. Mrs. A. P. 1 .4, Uu will make the, address of

tbe evening, is one of tbe most capable political women of th* state. She la the national committee woman. has had much experience in organization work and is an able speaker. Mrs. Mary E. Gubbins, of Muncie, is the eighth district chairman and is also a splendid organizer. You will be interested and pleased with the talks by these women. The meetings held over this county this year have been the best attended and wiith most interest in twenty years, the best evidence that the people of Adams counuty will not vote an approval of the record made by the republicans the past four years. For a hundred years the rule lias been in this country that when the trust imposed in officers has been abused the people turn the rascals out. Certainly It requires no long editorial or statement of facts to convince the people this year that it's .time to clean the state house. Three men from there have been sent to prison, nearly every official has had some kind of difficulty, costs have soared. Vote them out of office this year. Ed Jackson, present secretary of state, wants to be advanced to the governor's office; Fred Shortemeier, secretary to the governor, asks to be made secretary of state; Ben L'rbans, deputy treasurer, is out for the position of state treasurer and Mrs Emma Eaton White, now deputy attrney general, -is a candidate for supreme court reported. In addition to that these candidates have either been member s of most of the state boards, or have been freely consulted on all matters pertaining to state affairs, if the voters keep these men in the state house will they not con duct state affairs just as they have in the past? They are out now de fending their present administration. The vote - in .Adams county this year will be a decided protest against the fact that three state officials have been convicted of crime, against the doubled cost of operation, against centralized control of government against the reckless expenditure of money on the prison de luxe, against the spending of the peoples’ money in chunks of $155,000, against the little black catchel and its SIOO,OOO bride, against Newberry, Denby, Fall Daugherty, Smith and Means, against

a member of the cabinet who is engaged in the liquor business, against the aluminum trust, against the misrule of the people by the big interests, against the continued grind of ruin to the people, against a vacation for farmers, against the control of government by secret political organizations and against those who refuse to declare where they stand on problems of importance and against silence.

A CHEERFUL FACE I waited in an outer room To hear the word would be my doom. Would give my work a mighty boom Or sweep me out, as with a broom. A man looked In and said to me, “The manager I’d like to see, I’m wondering if possibly You aTe the fellow, are you be?” I never shw the man before But when he looked in at the door His face a smile so pleasant wore It warmed my heart clean to the core. / "No. I am not,’’ I quick replied And then my own lips spread, way , wide. And courage rose in me and cried. "I dare to face or storm or tide!” 7 1 often think about that chap. That cheerful look upon his map. And to Miss Fortune doff my cap While she with favors fills my lap. —A. D. Burkett. Tangier—While digging in a gravel ( Pit workmen founr a human skeleton four feet below the surface. It was believed to be that of a cattle buyer I who was murdered here fifty years ago as a bloody trail at that time led 1 1° where the skeleton was found.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face;to Face WitK George B. McCutcheon America’s Popular Novelist < By JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE In the opening year of the twentieth century, 1901 to be exact, “Graus‘ark ’ appeared. People read the novel and then began to wonder who wrote the book. “Graustark,” who now claimed a secured place in the cast of new literary characters. Thirty-five years previous to this in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, on the 26th of July, the author, George Barr McCutcheon, was born and secured a two-stick notice in x the county seat paper. There was no "Tyler too” in this Tippecanoe county event; it was purely McCutcheon There was no doubt that the young reporter on the Lafayette Journal had imagination. The city editor said so. and three years later George had the job of deciding who should have their names n the paper. The McCutcheon family started out in away of making the ir mark His brother. John T. McCutcheon, drifted to Chicago and became a worJd-famous cartoonist, but George was content to cartoon in the pages of his readable novels. Every year

after "Graustark" appeared a George ti Barr McCutcheon novel was peren- v nial. Numberless short stories ap— v peared ,in the magazines, but George , t Barrr was never swerved from his 13 methodical habits of fiction produc- a tion. . e A jolly personage and not altogether the sort of a looking person one e would think? 1 coidd evolve the hair- 1: raising adventures, subtle plots of r diplomatic intrigue and lovemaking r carried out at a high temperature, t with all the witchery of tropical t splendor and the flash of jewels and 1 gold lace in the moonlight. “Graus- ; tark” was a popular favorite with the 1 young girls and diverted their atten- < tion from books they should have i been reading, but that was George’s ■ purpose. It will be good news to his large clientele of readers to know that "Graustark” is still whole and hearty and very much alive. Age has not stiffened his joints and numbed his wit and cleverness, for he is proving that love-makipg is an art in which some ardent wooers do not fully mature until late in life. Beverley Graustark at fifty is intensely interesting to all concerned in Graustark younger, for he knows how to carry on his adventures and not commit the

1 IM fSF 11 ■ F . \ ts p * / < V h t r 4 GEORGE B. McCUTCHEON says: ' "In the writing of a novel I am transformed, for the time, beyond the work-a-day world. Sometimes I wonder whether readers enjoy reading , my stories as much as I do in writ- • ing them.” I , I Russian crime of being “found out.” : ; The hew book is entitled “East of the I Setting Sun” and has Beverley prop- . l errly entangled in oriental mysteries . with oriental beauties that rre faII miliar with all the wiles of tae sex.' B In later years Graustark. who was | 3 ever a discriminating cuss, has travr eled east at a rapid pace to locate on

the other side of the western sun. where the original civilization of man : was begun and where tradition says j the Garden of Eden was located. [ This is getting the original, ancient j atmosphere for modern love-making' exploits. As a playwright, his fame as a nov- i elist is not overshadowed, although he has written many plays that have made their bits in these days and nights on Broadway. In his books, the plot and the action of a play is j usually on top—ready for transition. I Playwrights give-thorough study and attention to the novels of George! Barr McCutcheon as containing a hint or two, or a ’suggestion as to what! might attract the public in the pre-, sentation of the age-old themes in-1 volved in every play—a contest of will and deed. , "Sometimes I wonder,” said George Barr, puffing his pipe vigorously. I “whether readers enjoy reading my! stories as much as I do in writing them. In the writing of a novel lam transformed, for the time, beyond the I work-a-day .world. You know how children like to have a sl^ry. told to! them at bed time; well, did you ever think it /ust as fascinating to tell the children those stories and have good listeners as it is to hear them?
