Foreign Representative: Carpenter A Company, 122 Michigan Avenue. Chicago. A few bright sun shine days will be the best cure for the Hu and cold epidemic so prevalent just now. The disease has been wide-spread but not so fatal as u few years ago. About nil you can do is be careful and at the first sign of a cold, start fighting it ant' keep it up until you know you have it licked. A hundred people were killed Sunday, it is estimated, from automobile accidents, a sad and serious opening of the spring season. Official reports from fourteen cities gave a death list of fifty-three, Chicago leading with twelve fatalities. At this season of the year when the roads are out of repair, slippery and treacherous, a little extra care may prevent an acciL dent. ===== ■ The roads of the county are in a ■ serious condition and while SuperinI tendent Magley and his force of ■ assistants are doing everything in ■ their power to save them, they cannot I do it without your assistance and that I ’‘your" means everybody who uses the ■ roads. It takes only a few hours at ■ this time of year to break down the I roadbed and make necessary the ex- * peuditure of a large sum of money to ■ repair. The money used is yours and I we don't understand why every good ■ cfHzen is not more than anxious.to ■ prevent the reckless use of their high- ■ ways when they know they must ■ spend money to put them in condition ■ again. I Democrats of the Eighth emigres- i ■ sional district will gather at the Dele- ; ■ ware hotel at Muncie, Thursday eve- ■ ning of this week at six o’clock for ■an old-fashioned get-together session ■ which marks the opening of the 1926 L campaign in this section of the state. 3 There will be addresses by leading ■ men and women of the district ami ■by candidates for the United States ■ senate, state offices and congress. It ■is probable that plans will' be an- ■ nounced at this meeting which will ■ be of interest and every one interested ■is invited to attend. Be there and F enjoy it. 9 The wet leaders have finally suc- ■ ceeded in convincing the senate of ■me United States, a body reputed to ■ talk dry in session and vote wet in I private, that a twelve-day public hearI ing on the question of modification of E the Volstead law, is necessary. Each I side will be given six days and the ■ wets are jubilant, believing that they 5 can thus bring to the attention of the E public further proofs that the l aw bas ■L not been enforced, will not be and ■ cannot be. In this nation we do ■ things rapidly when once started and ■ each day the indications are stronger fe that the big issue of the coming cam■S’ paign in almost every -state in the f' union, will be the age old liquor quesCon. supposed until recently to have F been settled for good. So thats that ■ and under a republican administraE tiorf. please note. "'J 3.. —•“» St The first primary is on in North » Dakota today and between now and 1 summer similar contests will be held tn every state in the union. This years election is of importance beits effect on congress. The entire house of representatives and thirty-four members of the senate are to be elected, besides governors in thirty-three states and state officers in each state. The senatorial con-

They have now thirty-nine ot the ninety-six seats. Os those who must stand for reelection twenty-seven are republicans and seven are democrats. It is conceded that the seven of the minority will be rejected and that in a Rosens of the states now represented by republicans, the democrats have , an equal chance to win. If they 1 secure five or more of the places in the senate they will have control. In 1 the house it is more difficult but by no means impossible. I Earl Crawford has finally been ( “ditched" as a member ot the state 1 highway commission, by Governor Jackson. Soon after Jackson became governor he demanded the resignations of Crawford and Williams, whose 1 services to the state have been of ( great value, but had refused to permit 1 their duties to be interfered with by j the appointment of a bunch of political bosses. The men refused to quit and now with the term of Mr. Craw- < ford expiring, the governor refuses to L reappoint him. If the people of Indi- 1 ana are wise to their own best inter- j ests they will refuse to stand for this game of personal politics which has ‘ been going on in the state house sev- t eral years and will support those 1 men who desire good roads at the least cost. Os Mr. Crawford's sue- 1 cessor, Robert B. Borden, of Fountain i City, we know nothing. He may be ] a splendid man for the place but we ; doubt if there is a man in the state who knows the road problems as does Mr. Crawford. The change will be effective April 17th. It is not strange that Mr. Walb and other republican ) political leaders wanted Crawford , removed. They couldn’t handle him. o » ” ” *' ” "* ’* M X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X X R X From the Daily Democrat File X X Twenty Yean Ago This Day X X K • » • • •» • » »l •-* • » •» •• • • • » •’» • » •* • » March 23—Ed Bultemiier buys livery stable from Mutschler & Reinking.
