DICK BOCH For Coroner. DR. J. C. GRANDSTAFF THE CAMPAIGN OVER:— The polls will open tomorrow morning and the people will decide upon the men and the policies which are to govern in township, county and etate. We are confident that the results will show a decided trend to the democratic party and this is Assured if the voters will go to the •polls. It therefore becomes your duty to not only vote early but to asssit in getting others to do so. In this county the campaign has been active during the past few weeks. The candidates and their friends have seen practically every voter and have presented their views. Several public meetings have been held in this city and the democrats conducted rural meetings in each township with a showing of interest. We believe that every man on the democratic ticket will be elected and th er i is a probability of electing every trustee in the ebuifty. In the state the indications are for the greatest democratic victory in all history. When such men as ex Senator Beveridge, ex-Governor Winfield T. Durbin, Ex-state chairman Wasmuth and others of prominence declare it is time to clean house; the results look inevitable. And n<ft only is there a disrupted republican party in this state but in a dozen others, in fact Colonel Harvey, a leading republican says the tidal wave will sweep the democrats into power from Massachusetts to Oregon. It remains only to vote. Help win the victory. And your best interests will be aided by voting a straight democratic ticket. If there was ever a time in the history of Indiana when the democrats ought to win its thiz year. They are in no way to blame for the corlupt condition in which the republican party finds itself and they have played the game fair and above board. The charges have been brought by republicans themselves and last day efforts of the politicians to infer that a campaign of blackmail has been engaged in is -about as futile as the free trade arguments and the world court spasms. If there has been any blackmail it has been by the repub licans themselves for the charges and the efforts to indict certain officials and candidates have all been men of that party who believe it best to "clean house" now rather than”wait two years or take chances on an explosion that would rock the state. Guessing on election this year seems to be more difficult than usual, at*

«■ ■* •• least the well known political writers i t are being very careful what they say. indicating that tn almost every state the results depend upon JuM how far the sweep against the administration will carry. It looks very much as though the democrats will elect tbej Wbnator in New York, Maryland, K®»-| lucky, Missouri, with Ohio, Illinois,» Massa thus Bits an’ even Vermont ia\ doubt. In Indiana the guessses are' divided but all admit there ia areal i scrap and that defeat of both senators need not surprise the people. Vote for”Hollingsworth for sheriff. He is clean, honest, fearless, a man who- will serve you faithfully and well. Vote for Ashbaucher for trees urer. He is a native of this county, capable, honest, careful and deserving. Vote for John E. Nelson for clerk, for ke has served you efficiently and courteously and will so continue. Vote for honest John Kelly for prosecutor He has the experience of the past two years and has been a student of law for thirty years. Vote the straight democratic ticket thia year and be safe. 1 —1 The campaign in Adams county closed Saturday afternoon and evening with a smoker held in headquart'ers, attended by several hundred and with a showing of enthusiasm that is sure to be felt on election day. During the evening talks were made by Thurman Gottschalk, candidate for joint senator. D. D. Coffee, who has been a stalwart leader for a third of a century, J. W. Tyndall and others. There was plenty of pep and reports from every precinct tn the county indicated an old time victory at the polls tomorrow. Inspectors are requested to count the county ballots first, if possible, and to call this office. 1,000. for hundreds of people will be awaiting the results with keen interest. As we have done for many years, the Daily Democrat has leased the lines of the Citizens Telephone company for Tuesday night and any person from any portion of the county may call as often as they desire. Besides our regular phones, two additional trunk lines were today installed sa we can take care of you. “Clean house, let the chips fall where they may,” is the message Winfield T. Durbin gives to the voters of Indiana. He knows as does Albert J. Beveridge and other leading citizens of the state, that this is the thing to do for better government in Indiana. The ->■: ’n general know yet, .XtnlE.. • JMAMLSSrt, ot „ (be t hings, which have occurred in the state house the past two years, but those who do know advise you to vote the democratic ticket this year What more do you need? Bob Tucker says the odds are six to five in favor of Watson in tomorrow's election, which means that the senator is probably defeated. When the republicans have the track greased. and that’s the only time they win ia state and national elections, the odds are usually five or ten to one. Bob also thinks that Watson will run considerably ahead of Robnson. so we suppose the betting would be turned around on him. Betting won't settle it any way, so lets wait another twenty-four hours and then count the votes. Claris Adams made a republican speech Friday evening but it made more democratic votes than if he had not appeared. He declared tha’ he could not take back any of the statements he had made against and about Senator Watson, but appearing (solely because he bad promised to do so if he was defeated in the primary. Senator Robinson surely felt when he closed his campaign here Saturday afternoon, speaking to a very small crowd of people and they not overly enthusiastic, that hope for election was waning and that as sure as Tuesday comes he will surrender hia of See which came by appointment and without 'he approval of the people oi it be leaders of the state.

senator. It will taka him IN years to recover what he spent ia the Pennsylvania primaries last spring. No wonder a democratic landslide is expected In the United Slates tomorrow. Surely the people are not foolish enough to thlak Us hopes to recover in that way. Tomorrow is election day. The Spoils epen at six In the morning and close at six In the afternoon. The Wuggeet job in this county is still ahead. Get out the rote. The larger the total vote, the larger the democratic majority will be when the votes are counted tomorrow eight. Whatever the results of the election tomorrow, it is probable, almost certain, that several senators-elect will have trouble when it conies to taking their seats. If you believe in clean government, by the people and for the people—'VOTE THE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET TOMORROW. All set and all ready. Lets have It over and then get down to the real bustneea of making a living and boosting the community. Remember Al Grahams injunction to "Vote it straight," but be sure to mark In the circle with the rooster. "Beware of campaign lies" — and the voters will be. They know. It will soon be all over but the shouting. Going to help get the vote out? You should start early. Get the vote in early. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ S —— ♦ Twenty Years Age Tbi« Dey. 4 ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Nov. 1. —Rumored that George Ade is engaged to Miss Helen Hoile, actress Otto Brera-rkamp bruised when he fell into open grate, lifted by boys as a Halloween prank.

Mr. Wasmuth wrote: "Th® Senator’s (Watson*) action n this matter (the forced resignation of Bert Margan as federal prohibition director for Indiana) is quite in line with the things that he had been doing during the last few years snd they are so offensive to loyal Republicans that we are fast approaching a demoralisation within 'he party in the state of Indiana that will make success neither possible nor desirable " i o— — DEMOCRATIC 1 VICTORY SEEN (COXTISUKD FHOS PAGE O.NK» I Democratic administration ($49,000,800 In a single year now as compared with only $12,000,000 in the last year it the late Governor Samuel M.
