THE DEMOCRAT A LIVE WEEKLY Published Every Thursday Morning LEW G. ELLINGHAM JOHN H. HELLER |1 VO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postoffiee at Deeatur, ; Ind., as second-class mail matter, OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. The Bull Moose convention in Indi-’ apolis today is the poplitical event of the week attracting atten- ; tion. The program is "cut and dried’’ and will be carried out as planned. Albert Beveridge will be nominated for governor, unless he refuses it and the rest of the ticket will be filled out as best it can. According to these figures. President Tafe begins the campaign with a practical certainty that he will have 155 votes and Governor Wilson 174. Taking these figures as a basis, Mr. Taft needs 122 to win. while Governor Wilson only has to gain ninety-three to attain the presidency. —Washington ' Dispatch. But is it exactly fair to require the I president to have 277 to win while th» . eover’.or can do the trick with 267? I It sounds almost unconstitutional. -! Indianapolis News. If Roosevelt does not soon finish that job of convincing the public that he was robbed at Chicago, there is danger that he will convince a goo-1 many that he is a bughouse. A high 1 minded patriot who is just starting' out to save the people from the buzzards in politics, the robbers in commerce and the tyrants of liberty should lay away his war club, cut out the personal abuse and begin preaching the old doctrine of peace and good will to all. The fact is the long and continued ranting about Taft's cut-throats and his noble band of political robbers and tricksters has come to be an old and uninteresting chestnut. —Columbia City Post. Mrs. Kate Thompson of Monroe Was a shopper here this morning. "" M iss Bess Congleton has gone 'o Muncie fo’- ?. several days' visit with >. tends.
