Adams county owes the congressional convention a large attendance. It will mark the opening of the campaign with the Hon. John W. Kern, candidate for governor, as the principal speaker. Go, help swell the crowd, and begin your political activities for the campaign that is now at hand.

The only argument so far advanced by the g. o. p. press and spell binders, is that Tom Taggart is not making good in rhe east. That Belmont seeks to replace him, accompanied by a whole lot of hog wash that is equally us absurd and untruthful. Other issues are that Bryan and Bryan democrats are cold because the gold democrats have an’inning, and that the gold democrats are cold because Bryan is coming to Indiana to make some thirty odd speeches for Parker and Davis. The facts are that theg. o. p. ship of state is hard pushed. They are trying hard to stir up division and dissention. It is the only issue they have, and they will work it to a finish. In the meantime the democrats of Idiana and elsewhere will saw wood and make the warmest fight for political supremacy that was ever waged. Let every democrat fall into line.

In examining Indiana conditions by congressional districts and by counties it is found that there is a very general response to the democratic appeal in favor of [Judge Parker on the conservatim and steadiness of his character, intellectual attainments, his eapac-

ity or constructive labor and th firmness of his stand for constitutional government, as indicate d by his address at Eaopus. W ith respect to President Roosevelt and the policies he his conceived and initiated since he has been in office, it is found that there is well-devel-oped opposition to him among republicans. These conditions have put vitality into the democratic presentations of the trust, tariff' and imperialistic issues, and altogether these conditions have developed, without the stimulus of organization an aggressive popular resolution to carry Indiana for the democratic ticket. AN OIL LEAK River is Covered With Petroleum

Standard Oil Line Near C. &E. Bridge is Leaking—to be Repaired At Once. For once in the history of Decatur the city smells like an oil town allthough there’is not an oil well with in eight miles of this place. Those who have been trying to discover its source have at last solved the mytery. The St. Marys river is covered with oil fromjbank to bank, and puts one in mind of the small streams that’run through a genuine oil field. The oil comes from the Standard Oil Co.’s pipe line that runs through this city from Lima to Chicago and which is buried in the river just south of the C- & E. railroad . bridge. The line sprung a leak sometime yesterday, and the oil is rapidly escaping, and, being lighter than water, naturally comes to the surface. A force of linemen representing the above named company, arrived today and are busily engaged in calking the leak. There is no doubt but that the company has lost several hundred dollars but they can probably stand the loss without feeling it.
