Register this mouth if you are not now qualified to vote. If you have moved, changed your name or are a first voter, this applies to you and is a duty which should not be neglected. With Dairy Day, th t . dedication of Elephant R6ek, the election campaign, football basketball and golf contests on the program, there should be entertainment to please everybody and keep them busy. » We are proud of every industry in Cecatur and we are glad to boost them' when and where and as we can, we believe in cooperation and we want every citizen and every merchant and every farmer in the county to join in making Dairy Day a hummer. Its all to be free tud it will be productive Os much good, if we carry out the plans as outlined. Enthusiasm in the coming campaign is evidenced from the number of callers at democratic headquarters. The speaking campaign will open early in October but in the meantime the committees are busy registering the voters who are not now qualified, taking the poll and completing plans so the active work will move along the smoother. Drop up to headquarters. Thomas S. McMurray, Indiana state insurance commissioner, has announced an increase of ten per cent in fire insurance rates on farm property effective October Ist. There are more ways than one of taxing and they do seem to enjoy making it impossible for the farmer to show a profit. It is claimed that the increase is necessary and is based on the experience tables of the past five’ years. lii mau> sections over tins b.- t country during the week of September 26th exercises of varied nature will be held in observance of Gene Strat-ton-Porter Memorial Week and in this county where the gifted authoress came as a bride, resided many years and wrote a number of her books which brought her fame, there should be some exercise. It is an . occasion which should certainly not be overlooked or passed by. ion ’want to know why you should vote for Evans Woollen and Albert Stump for the United States senate? Th e answer is easy as we see it. They want to squeeze out some of the Jackson extravagance which has raised state taxes more than $49,000,000 a year over what they were under Governor Ralston and they favor revising downward the Fordney-McCumber tariff which adds millions unnecessarily to the cost of things'which you have to buy. Tariff beyond that point actually necessary for protection of American industries means a burden to every one and should not be defended. If you don't benefit from Dairy Day it will he.because you don't let yourself. " An occasion which brings the farmer and the merchant and the manufacturer closer together, which provides clean entertainment, which brings visitors from all over the ■ county aud which gives us the opportunity to entertain them, is sure to be helpful, but why discuss that part of it? We are sure you are all convinced that the occasion will be a wortif-while one. Its tip to the rnemb-

era of the various committees to do their part that the event will measure up to those heretofore held in good old Decatur. -J." U|...XJ.!.« MBSCW The democratic platform for this year contains this pledge which will be carried out if they are successful at the polls and a democratic legislature is elected: “We pledge the democratic party to repeal the tax law and to restore the tax board to its original status—one of appeal and equalization to the end that taxes may be reduced and the people of every community HE PERMITTED TO GOVERN THEMSELVES and to reenact the tax laws of 1891 together with such amendments as time and practical experience may have proved just and equitable.” Voters you need] to restablish local self government while you may.

Carl C. Pumphrey has been named chaiiman of the genera! committee t in charge of the dedication of Ele- • pkant Rock, one of the best known i boulders in the United States for its - picture is now Appearing in several , thousand newspapers over the country. Mrs. Fay Smith-Knapp is secretary aud W. A. Lower is treasurer. ■ Mr. Pumphrey will select an advisory 1 committee who will decide upon the ■ date, probably the latter part of October, will name various other qommittees to assist in making the occasion a memorable one. It is a worthy 1 movement, back of which is much sentiment and the thought of instilling in the minds of every youth a love I of nature as taught by the gifted woman from Adams county. We bespeak for Mr. Pumphrey and his committees the fullest support from all the people of this community. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ft ♦ + + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ + + + From the Daily Democrat File + + Twenty Years Ago This Day. + ♦ + +♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+ Sept. 17. —Captain A.
