Adams county should ’ give Davis and the entire democratic 1 ticket a majority of 2.000. Careful Cal lost his Slemp and did c not know where to find him; so he e wired to Ned. and Slemp come home, 1 wagging his Fall behind him.

What’s Ihe matter with Erwin. Gottschalk. Jaberg, Kleine. Baker. Both. Kelly. Green, Shoemaker, Breiner ami Mattox for county officers? They’re all right. Just remember that in 1916 the Li:ciary Digest straw vote showed a plurality of more than four million votes for Hughes but when they were cast and counted. Wilson had won by a million. BE St RE TO JOIN IN THE RALLY HERE SATURDAY NIGHT. ADD TO THE ENTHUSIASM. HAVE A GOOD TIME. HEAR SENATOR GORE. HELP IN THIS CLOSING EVENT OF THE CAMPAIGN. John Adair will be elected to congress next Tuesday and the eighth district can limp boast of one of the best representatives in the United States, a man who stays on the job and attends to business instead •of traveling over the world at the expense of the government and you tax payers. The circulation of radical newspipers. magazines, literature and circulars in the dosing days of a campaign is not new but it will continue to act as a boomerang. The people do not believe in underhanded or secret means of influencing votes. They want a fair and square deal and usually these tactics kick backwards

in a decisive manner. The latest craze is cross-word pttz zles. In this country we do tilings madly when we do them. We have hid tlie Mah Jongg craze, the radio bug, baseball, football, basketball, ping-pong, poker and a few other fads and fancies, hut none of them have absorbed the young and old as is the cross-word puzzle just now. You are oat of style if you are not working on them these days. And now it is disclosed that President Coolidge accepted a 1250 fee and his expenses for delivering a niemori-! al address under the auspices of the United Patriotic Societies, Bridgport,

Conn., May 27, 1923, when he was the vice-president. The society is made up of veterans of the Civil,) Spanish and World wars and the' services were for their dead comrades. No wonder he is silent this campaign. John Davis, big, broad, brainy, a fighter for you and your rights as against Calvin Coolidge, surrounded by those who represent the big interests and Bob LaFollette who repre-:-c3ts the radical elements, ought to make it easy for you to see that the i_e-• thing for you is to help put Da

vis in office. It would mean much to future to have such a i mun at the head of the government the next four years. It is reported that the new fire engine did not work properly this morning for some reason, or other and that’s Important. If an east wind had been blowing the fire might have wiped out a large section of the city. Whatever was wrong should be remedied and if the engine is not as represented the company from whom it was purchased should he reckoned with. That's what the city officials will very probably do at onc'e for fire protection is one of the best assets of any community. McCulloch stands for honest government, for a clean administration, for the reduction of your taxes, for the restoration of home government, for good roads at the least cost to the people. Jackson is of the present administration which ought to be enough to defeat him u million votes in Indiana. His office is costing four times what it did n 1916, he boosted Dollings. he is unfit for the high office he seeks. On a straight-out issue of ability and service McCulloch should win easily in Indiana this year. Watch your vote. Thomas Jefferson foundert the democratic party. He believed that’ every-great question should be decided by the people, that a public offi ce was a trust and that officials were

servants of the people. Alexander . Hamilton founded the theory upon . which the republican party is built. He believed in a centralized form of ! - government and that the fewer who * had power, the better it was for the ' people, that these officers should do the thinking for the people. These ' principles are still back of these par1 ties and consequently the democratic t party is constantly fighting for the * rights of the people. This being true ' it behooves every voter who earnest- f ly believes in this republic to stand t by the candidates on the democratic c 1 ticket. i —i——— c ■ It has been years since the demo- c t cratic meetings held in Adams coun- r ty have been so largely attended and t so much enthusiasm manifested, a That means something and it is more ’’ l |than probable that when the results 1 i are tallied up "next Tuesday night. , ' you will find the majorities large g > I enough to establish a new record in r ' this old banner county and to surprise ’ - j many. The rural campaign will close u c with a homecoming at the Kohr c school house in Union township Mon- j day night. There have been two or ( ' three meetings in every township and t 1 i in some of them twice that number. t i The rally in this city Saturday night t will, it is hoped and expected, bring ( t a siren t throng to the city. It remains , v only to get out the .vote and count < ( j the ballots. J s( 0 *

j| The People’s Voice | s —————— On The Election 9 Editor of Democrat:1.1 Quardrennially occurs this groat s political classic which interests the , entire United States. With a lesser turnover every two years to determine which political party shall guide ! the destinies of our country. It is ali together fitting that we should do this else how could we get the rascals out and others in. With the cam- . paign in its closing stage the situation to be briefly summed up is. The I Democratic party will have the solid | south as usual including the border <states. Mr. Davis has a chance to ’draw on five doubtful western states

and ten doubtful central and eastern 'states. The Republicans will be sure lof the rest except in the northwest i and possibly scattered western states which lean towards Progressivism. The strategy of each party litij come to this. The Democratic party will make no battle in the south. It will concentrate on holding the so; t called border states and capturing as . .many doubtful states as possible, almost ignoring the extreme west. Republican strategy devolves into an almost porch campaign as of four years | i- ago believing the election good as 1 0 won. However with the closing days e renewed effort is put forth in the I border and doubtful states. They are 1 ( not quite so cock-sure now. Progresf " • •D’ I v

the entire west and northwest. Now Mr. LaFollette realizing his elector. 1 vote would be inadaquate is can.-’ paigning in the east trying for an ini- 1 niehse popular vote, or permanentcy. Now the outcome or election is 1 made more complex and uncertain.of ! guessing by the different complicating factors that have entered into it. There is the Klan issue, prohibition. 1 religion, foreign affairs, the advent < f ’ the third party and the rise in agricultural products. The increased i 1 prfce of the farmers products of' course is welcome. It should have * come sooner. Nevorthless it is a factor that will aid the Republican party regardless of undeserved credit. If they have assisted in bringing about an increased price they should be cm demned for waiting until electio i time. It will, however help to spik? some of Mr. LaFollette’s cannon. Another pectilaYity will be strong governmental candidates pulling the presidential candidate and vice-vers;. Thus we will see Mr. Smith of New York pulling Mr Davis. Mr. McCulloch of Indiana pulling him and Mr. Bryan I of Nebraska doing the same, also Mr. 1 Donahey, of Ohio. However Mr. Coolidge will pull Jackson, of Indiana.

hrough the medium of the suit, to decide what the intent of . congressl was in enacting limited publicity and at the same time enacting a unalty for publication. ( On the face of the situation. Stone 'holds, papers had no riglit to print the figures because the law apparently gave th(i conffnisioner of internal revenue discretion to pre-, scribe the -manner in which figures' would be open to public inspection. He pointed out that the sole place authorized was in the offices of internal revenue collectors. | Nevertheless Stone recognizes that there are kinks and twists to the law which cannot be definitely settled short of the courts, the final interpretators of s'tatutes and to clear up the confusion, will start the test suit immediately, perhaps today. Papers in all sections of the country printed the figures and Stone had a wide field to choose fiom At least one paper, the Cincinnati Post, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, alre tdy has had the preliminary formalities of prosecution instituted against it, through a citaton delverled to the U. S. dstrict attorney by the internal revenue collector of its district. Stone may choose the Post because of the. advancement of the case, or may select any of a hundred other papers. Four papers in Washington printed figures and the attorney general may choose to bring the action here where he can give his personal attention to the suit. o— ———— I FORNAX MILL BURNED EARLY THIS MORNING (Continued from Page One) way that it was impossible to save the building. The fire spread rapidly to the contents of the building. A water pressure of thirty-five pounds was turned on in the water mains and the big pumper increased the pressure at the notzel to 120 pounds. The south wall was the first to fall, about half of the wall falling outward i onto the roof of the engine house. Later portions of the other walls leaved in and after the fire had died F | down considerable the firemen attach- | ed ropes' to the walls and pulled down those portions that looked dangerous. Much Grain In Mil! Included in the loss besides the building, which was valued at SIO,OOO were 2.000 bushels of wheat, sixty tons of midlings. 125 barrels of flour, o 500 bushels of oats, oilier grains, chop il feed. chicken feeds and the s- machinery. The machinery part of ,x which had just been installed, was o valued at $20,000. It is thought that >r the boiler and engine, which were it located in a shed connected to the lejmain building on the south, can be ig used again as the firemen were able to keep the flames from destroying li- the shed, although consideaable damid age was done. >y Installing New Machinery Is Ihe mill had not been operating

this week because new machinery was living Installed, and for this renson an extra amount of grain and feed were on,hands l-ast week a carload of Hour was received at the mill, the company having the distribution of several brands of flour, besides thut manufactured at the mill. A new flour sifter costing |l,r»tm waa being installed and those associated with the mill stated that they had hoped to complete the installation of the machinery today. The hollers had not been fired alt week The Fornax Milling company also owns the old mill nt the end of North Second street and the machinery from this place was being removed this week to the mill on First street. . Most of'the machinery, belting etc. was located on the third floor. On the second floor much grain, flour and feeds were located. The first flour was used as a working floor. Some grain was stored there. The basement was stored with grain and flour. All the machinery, grain, flour and feed went to the basement as the floors gave way and what grain and flour wns not burned was ruined by water. May Seek New Location A meeting of the stockholders and 'directors of the Fornax Milling Com pany will be held within a fe w days. Herman Gillig. general manager of I the company stated this morning, jat whitffi time it will be deeded if the mill which was destroyed by fire this morning will be rebuilt. Mr. Gillig expressed the opinion I that if the mill is rebuilt a new loca- . tion may be secured. The old site is several blocks away from the railroad and the opinion was expressed that

if the mill was rebuilt a location along .one of the rrailroad tracks, where switching facilities would be available might be secured. The Fornax Milling company has been under the present management since 1915. Was Organized In 1915 j The Fornax Milling Corporation was organized in 1915. the stockholders being. Herman Gillig, Geo. S. Shosenburg. C. G. Strickler of this city, who were active in the management of the mill; Mrs. BarlwiM Bremerkamp, of Fort Wayne, and J. I E. Limbecher. of St. Marys. Ohio. The old Fornax mill which, previous of 1915. was owned by the late Henry Bremerkamp of this city, was destroyed by fire in the winter of 11904. The mill destroyed by fire todsy was erected in 1905. o “Dime Novel'’ King Dies In Depressing Poverty Troy. 0..
