Bore B. Erwin, the democratic candidate for judge is one of the well known citizens of Adams county. Every one knows that and about every one in the county knows about his 1 11 life. His struggle has been similar to that of every man who has made good. Born on a farm and left an orphan when ten years of age, he work-,' ed his way through school, taught ini «I the country and in this city, law at night, has practiced twenty- \ five years and is considered one of the 1 ablest lawyers in this part of Indi-J I < ana. He has been active in his party] J and during many campaigns has helpI I ed to fight the battles of democracy.'„

As to the suggestion that a change , in judgeship might increase expense, it should be remembered that these 1 costs, verv slight, are paid by the I tate. Mr. Erwin is promising the , people that if elected, he will use the strictest economy and will eliminate ' every unnecessary expense. He is a deserving citizen and democrat. The democratic ticket in Adams ■•<>unty is in every way a splendid one. The men are worthy. All are good citizens, Christian gentlemen, qualified to serve you at the least cost. Erwin for judge is recognized for his ability as an attorney, his integrity, his good character; Kelly for prosecuting attorney will prove efficient; Gottsjhalk is one of the ablest and! cleanest men in the county and during three terms in the legislature, has /nade a reputation as a law-maker <*nd a fighter for the people; Jaberg is credited by the state board of ac-

counts as one of the two or three best 1 1 auditors in the entire state; Kleine for treasurer and Baker for sheriff have made excellent officials and they deserve second terms; Creen for recorder is a courteous, honest and careful citizen and fitted for the office; Boch for surveyor is a licensed engineer as the law require and his record in office cannot be excelled; Mattox for coroner and Breiner and Shoemaker for commissioners arc men whom you can trust in every way. There is no reason why you should not support this ticket. Place a mark in the circle containing 'the rooster. Let him do the scratching for you. ' ; Remember that any republican vic- (

tory in Indiana this year will be cred ited to the klan who will claim i They controlled the state republican convention, then nominated Jacksoy and most of the others on the ticket, they are tightng for them and the others on the ticket this year. This issue is dear cut as to that part. A vote for the repubUcMt ticket is likewise an endorsement of the Bollings scheme, of reckless expenditures, of your money, of centralized power, of increased valuations on land, of higher taxes.. How anybody can vote for these things we can't understand but

there may be a few, . John Adair is a real mau, a high class candidate for congress, who will represent you honestly and most efficiently. He will not squander your money in touring the world or by j Ik i.ig a lot of relation on the pay

[ roll, as bM Mr. Veatai Adair dv J serves your vote if you wish to cmI ploy s man who knows bow to reprs--1 sent you and who has by ten years bi splendid service, proven he will do ’ it if given the opportunity. ,1 Under the present regime at Wash- ] ingtoii Andrew J. Mellon, who made ' his millions out of the liquor, brewery and aluminum trust business. Is the great controlling power. Can you i figure any way in the world that your 1 interests would be identical with hia? 1 If you can. go ahead and vote tor i Coolidge. If you want a man ill the White House who will lead the battle for your rights, vote for Davis. TONIGHTS THE NIGHT. Watch for the big parade, grab a torch, take s part, everybody will be doin' it, men, women and the boys aud girls. Then hear the speeches at the court | house. o

The People's Voice

A DEMOCRAT REPLIES Replying to an editorial published in the October 31st issue, of the Aflanis County Witness, of Berne, Indiana, referring to the Republican candidate for Judge, a citizen and a life-long Democrat is moved to reply. The first Judge witli whom the writer was acquainted in Adams County was Judge Daniel D. Heller, 'who served for Adams and Jay coun- £ ties, and later for Adams only, in a most creditable and honorable manner. I also new his successor Judge 11 Erwin, who served six years and at 1 his death was Chief Justice of the ' Supreme Court of Indiana, who was followed by Judges James T. Merry- 1 man. succeeded by David E. Smith. * and he in turn was succeeded by

Judge John Moran all of whom were Democrats, honorable, fearless, painstaking and just and to say that. * out of the Republican party in the person of the present Judge aspiring to election is the best of all. There could have been no more e careful painstaking Judges than these I <| who have succeeded each other and’e but for the death of John C. Moran. Jr who out of his earnest efforts to give! the full measure of justice to all Utf-L gants fell a victim to physical in-'j firmities and died a martyr to con-*< stant hard labor. ' L No one would question the fact that s it is an honorable ambition to be a'j Judge and it is a discredit to anyit I man who so succeeds, who does not't give his best judgment and best es- v fort to render justice to all. The not feel that in the < editorial obituary there is any <es- i Fecial criticism to be offered, but on t the other hand we happen to be personally acquainted with the Democrat < candidate, who is the oponert of the 1 present Judge. If it is any credit to be born in an old log cabin on a 'arm 1

and split rails and work in the dh-.h I the Democrat candidate for Judge I has that distinction hit is any hardship for a boy to be left without parents at the age of ten years, he has endured that hardship. If it is any credit as is claimed editorially to make your own way teaching school, study law. try law suits, build up a law practice an ddischarge your duty Rs an Attorney at Law to the best of your ability the Republican candldiate and the Democrat candidate could claim no advantage of each other. If a Republican is entitled to Democrat votes by reason of the fact that he is the father of five boys, some college graduates and other'aspirants to the same attainment, it. ought to be at least some credit to a Democrat t to be the father of font girls and have three girl grandchildren. either of which is a pleasure

'!• seldom enjoyed end which many 1 . covet, rather than use as a plea for n sympathy. Os course it is a great sacrifice for • an Attorney at Law to bp a political ” martyr and be offered up by his political party as a successful asptrs ant for an office, but candidates alt ways are willing to be thus drafted, and the sacrifice is usually however great it may be. cheerfully made. $ ’ I It is an advantage to Adams Uounf ty to occasionally change Judges and f the .expense of SIO.OO per day which . is paid out of the State Fund from r Indianapolis is only a small return J for the contributions the County .makes to the State, which administra-

i~— — — ition lias so lavishly and recklessly er;peuded, especially during the admiute‘Jration of Governor McCray and his 1 successor. If any man can contrive > some plan to bring back a little more r of it, Adams County ought to have a y'few more special badges and draw on ithe State fund a Httle more frequent. *'j A- a Democrat, I feel that every
