The one Democratic candidate for ’ the long-term senatorial nomination ’* in Indiana who has come forward witli . a definite and constructive program is John E. Fredrick, of Kokomo. We say this not in disparagement of any other candidate, but merely because it is the fact. Other candidates are able and worthy men. Some of them ~ have had ripe experience in public affairs. No doubt they have matured opinions as to what will be best for tiie country. Mr. Fredrick has stated his views and we believe he offers the people of Indiana and of the nation convincing reasons that men like him are needed in W ashington. | > Just now the country is faced. iiL the plight of American agriculture, i witli an economic problem which almost excludes other questions from immediate consideration. Mr. Fred-1 rick believes, and his belief is widely shared, that until agriculture is given, a square deal, is rehabilitated those engaged in it set firmly on the pathway of a general and enduring » prosperity business of no kind can V have secure hostage for its well-be- -. ing. Mr. Fredricks is a lag man in V business. He is a manufacturer of ", national repute. He is a large em-, L’ ployer of labor. His program does “ not contemplate any process of during labor to the level of the faitn-| “• er, but the raising up of the farmer ” to the level of labor. On these great ( _» economic questions Mr. Fredrick is 1 sound, clear and tar-seeing. w The farmers of the country have j “ been hard hit. for half a dozen years. ~ Their conditions have grown worse Instead of better. Their situation today is such as not only discourages the entire agricultural industry, but -. is having a progressively untoward ” effect on all other industry and every j sort of business. Until the condition of agriculture has been relieved by , means which will revive its prosper- ” ity and make that prosperity perm-' — anent there can be no good assurance of prosperity for anybody. Congress «• now is in the. midst of confusion concerning measures for agricultural rej. lief. President Coolidge is hostile to those measures which the farmers | ~ themselves desire and which their ( friends in congress most strongly j “ urge. Whether anything will come ( out of this situation remains to be seen. The outlook is not promising. | Indiana farmers will obtain one of the most intelligent and trustworthy ( representatives they h've ever had in Washington if they join to send John E. Fredrick to the senate of the United States. He is the type of man) '• and the type of lawmaker that the | country, especially the farmers, bus- j •’ iness men and labor of every sort, needs. The Democratic party needs the kind of leadership and public service he will give to it and or it. Democratic voters should think these matters over seriously before they * make their decisions next Tuesday.— Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. The primary battles are about over and the candidates at least will be i glad when six o’clock comes Tuesday evening for win or lose they have each don e their best and the decis- ' ions will soon be up to the voters. In this county the democrats have had ' an exciting contest with numerous contenders. The primary has been - clean and the contestants are game enoitgh to smile if the returns are * not in their favor, take off their coats

Afjer all candidates we are fighting for the principles of Thomas Jefferson and thats the big tiling to remember, no difference who are to carry the banners next autumn. The contract for Blufftun's uew city hall and community building has been let to Sheets & Carlson, of Fort RVayne, for $63,288 and the additional contracts swell the total to $80,666 Work is to begin at once and when complete the building will be one of the best of its kind in any of the smaller cities of the state. It should prove of value as a place for conventions. political meetings and gatherings of many kinds and the neighboring city deserves commendation for their enterprise. The new structure will be paid for from funds accruing in the electric light fund. There will be many features of interest in the Better Homes Exposition jto be held here the week of May 17th ■ but one of the best ones will be an I address by one of the biggest business 1 men in the country who will talk to 1 the Industrial Association at a ban- ' quet on Thursday evening. May 20th and later to the crowd in the exposiI tion tent. Arrangements have already ' been made for his appearance here * and we are sure that his talk alone 1 will be worth many times the cost of 1 the event. We have felt reasonably sure that the weather has be?n backward dur- : ing the past month but its a relief to have that impression verified by the ' state weather bureau which has an- ' nounced this as the second coldest 1 April on record in this state and the ' rainfall about four inches in excess of 1 normal. No wonder th e people com- | plained. They had something to 1 -kick” about. Indications are better now and we're hoping that "every things going to be alright. ——’— k I Its funny how law makers anU people in general seek aid for Wall street when depressions come. Its a wonder they don't call on the farm- ' ers to aid them. If they had to fight depression four or five years as the ' men on the farms have, borrow money 'to pay taxes and meet living expenses, we shudder to think what thej ; would ask but the farm relief bills now up would be plain pikers. A few- subscribers to the Daily Democrat have failed to respond to I the notices sent out ami consequently ! the only thing that can be done is to I stop sending the paper. We regret I that this is necessary and hope those I who have neglected the annual reI mittance will see that arrearages are I paid up and renewal ordered so we can put you back on the list. The week has been strenuous and the coming one promises to likewise be a hard one for many. Perhaps a I couple of hours in church tomorrow will cause you to remember that there are other things to think about in life than business, politics and pleasures. z - It costs forty-eight dollars a day to print the speeches of congressmen in the Congressional Record but think of the wear and tear it saves the members who thus get them to the public. This was the final Saturday before primary day and the candidates were making the most of it, putting in the I closing licks. ' o o ,1 FREE i Forty loads of good dirt. Apply John T.

Fame did not come to me today. Nor victory in the race And yet I cannot truly say The hours were commonplace. No great achievement thrilled my soul, I labored in the sun, But seemed no nearer to my goal When every task was done. And yet I saw the morning break In splendor with the dawn. And saw the trees in blossom shake Their beauty on my lawn.
