OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. TO ALL DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NOT REGISTERED: The principal registration day is next Friday, September 6th. We want every democrat to register on this day. Don't put it off until October; if you do, you may lose your vote. When October comes, you may be sick, and not able to register, or you may be called out of the county by the death of a friend or relative, and you will lose your vote. We will need every democratic vote in Adams county to help carry the state. Don't be overconfident. Many victories have been lost by over-confidence Now is the time, and the only time to register. If you expect to do your threshing on next Friday go and register early. Get there at 6 o'clock in the morning. The board will be ready for you. The | machine can't start til! 8 or 9 o'clock and you can get back in plenty cf time. Remember that every vote counts one, and we will need every vote tp carry the state. So don't lor get, next Friday, September 6th. Make a little sacrifice for your l«rty's sake. Yours for success. J. W. BOSSE, County Chairman. Woman’s suffrage lost in Ohio by an overwhelming majority, while al! the other amendments, with the possible exception of the $50,900,000 good roads appropriation, have carried, including the initiative and referendum, the labor proposals, the liquor li-. cense, minimum wage laws, etc. The vote against the woman s suffrage! was about two to one. Along with all our other duties, we ■ should not overlook the fact that the j insurance men promised us a reduc-, tion in the rates if we complied with their rules. We have done it and it’s now up to them to make good. Let's have the new rate, and let it be as reasonable and fair as we are entitled to. That’s all we ask, but we certainly have the right to demand that. The result of the Vermont election ! n indicative of the sweeping victory the democrats will win at the November election. In this rock-ribbed republican state they made a gain of several thousand votes, and with the Bull Moosers securing about oneihird the republican vote, succeeded in throwing the election of a governor into the legislature. That body is republican and will elect Allen M. Fletcher, the regular republican nom- [

j inee. It was not expected that the result would be different, and the only thing is the show of strength by the Moosera and the gain of the democrats. The same gain over the country will elect Wilson and Marshall by the largest vote every given any candidates, and the probabilities are that the gain for the democrats in other states will be much larger. The Maine election comes next and the democrats u.e hopeful of electing the governor there, though the republican majority is large. Adams county will have a ten thousand dollar monument to show our [ respect to the veterans of the civil ‘ war. It will be located on the public square in this city and will add to the beaury that already attractive spot. The county council Tuesday evening appropriated $19,000 for the purpose and we want to congratulate them on their action. They could scarcely do otherwise when the petition contained over 2,500 names, but the fact that their action was unanimous shows that they* are the right'kind of progressive and patriotic citizens. The tax will not be felt, in fact the appropriation on bridges and other items was "reduced to such an extent that this will not increase the tax in the least. We will have the monument and it will be a beautiful one. a credit to the community, and (he ■ boys in blue" will appreciate the spirit with which it was done. For this splendid achievement due credit should be given to that "always for Decatur," hustling, public-spirited and generous-hearted young business man, French Quinn, to whose efforts are due largely this improvement. He originated the idea and helped to plan the work. To him and the members of the G. A. R. who circulated the petition is the credit due. It should always be a source of pride to them for it is worth much to know that we have done something.
