TO MY MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES ' — * * In the campaign before the primary May 4th, I have considered it import.** th** Lwnrk among the people with whom l have been heretofore least acquainted, in order that 1 might make new friends, and broaden my acquaintance generally.

I want you to know, however, that 1 have had you in mind, have felt that you will support me at the coming primary and election without personal solicitation, and further that your vote, your support and your influence will be thoroughly appreciated. • JOHN A.

MADE EFFECTIVE PLEA FOR WOOD

COL. HEALEY CHARACTERIZED GENERAL WOOD AS THE IDEAL AMERICAN. Col. George H. Healey of Frankfort made a most excellent address to a capacity audience in the court room in this city Saturday evening. Saturday was Americanization day and the Wood followers all over the state held meetings to preach the gospel of true Americanism and to honor the great national character who is being offered to the Republican party as their candidate for the highest office within the gift of the people of this great nation. Col. Healey compared the conditions in this county with those in Europe and in doing so made every one present proud that he was an American and that he had the privileges and opportunities existing hereHe urged that all take an interest in the government and in politics. That the parties select the very best candidates and that. the platforms contain those principles only that harmonize with our great constitution and the future welfare of our people. He gave a short sketch of the life of General Wood, showing him to be the one man ideally fitted by native ability and training to serve as the administrator of this country. He called attention to the fact that Wood had done well the many difficult tasks that had been assigned to him. That he was heartily endorsed by Ex-Presidents Grover Cleveland, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Col. Healey, who is possibly one of the best posted men from a military standpoint, said that Leonard Wood is the safest American with whom to intrust the management and control of the army and navy of the United States. He told of Wood’s world wide experience, his intimate knowledge of the labor problems in this country, of his courage, honesty and address was free from abuse, interesting, instructive and convincing and did honor to the occasion, the speaker and the great character for whom it was delivered —‘Leonard Wood.

BATTLE LINES ARE FORMING

CONFIDENCE REIGNS IN CAMPS OF CANDIDATES ON EVE OF BATTLE. The last voter has been visited, the final plea of the candidate has been sent forth in an endeavor to penetrate the stoical ranks of those with whom the final outcome lies—the people themselves. Each candidate has left no. task undone to meet with the favor of the voters, and a hush has fallen over the city and county, a hush of intermingled hopes and fears, a hush of expectancy. The candidates for the various offices of the county, state and nation have worked hard and the final moments are being spent by them in gaining the favor of the voters in the communities in which they are weak. The battle lines are forming and promptly at six o’clock Tuesday morning the clash at the polling stations throughout the state will be on. By midnight the hopes of many will have been wrecked completely while the favored few will let their joy be unconfined. In the state it is felt that General Leonard Wood will be successful in the presidential race, with Hiram Johnson in second place and Gov. Lowden and Senator Harding trailing in the order named. However, the Wood managers feel that Johnson has made considerable progress within the past few days and that their margin will be narrow. , . . In Jasper county the principal interest lies in the race for judge of the Jasper-Newton circuit court in which the four sons of Jasper county—John A. Dunlap, Emmet Laßue, Abraham Halleck and George Williams pit their strength against that of the lone representative from Newton county—Ray Cummings. The four main gravel roads leading into Rensselaer and converging at Washington and Van Rensselaer streets separate the township and city into four precincts. Precinct number one is between the roads entering Rensselaer from Burke’s bridge and the county farm, and the voting place is the sample room in the Makeever house, with Daniel Waymire as inspector. Precinct number two is between the roads entering from Burke’s bridge and Pleasant Ridge. The voting place is at Bostwick’s engineering office, Riley Snyder as inspector- Precinct number three is between the roads entering from Pleasant Ridge and St Joseph college. The voting place is Dr. Hansson’s office, ’with Charles Dean as inspector. Precinct number four is between the roads entering from St. Joseph’s college and the county farm. The voting place is the D. M. Worland office, with C. Ross Dean as inspector. Turn out and do your duty by voting. There is a great deal of speculation among the voters as to the outcome, and the guesses as to whom the successful candidates will be are many. Each aspirant has his followers and confidence reigns in the camps of all. The perplexing problem will be solved Tuesday.

Due to the fact that the farmers have been delayed in their spring work by bad weather, it is felt that if the day dawns fair, thus giving the farmer a chance to catch up in his work, the vote will be lighter than it would have otherwise been. It is the duty of every citizen to cast his vote, and an effort will be made to get every voter to the polls o express his choice-

WORLD’S MAJOR LEAGUE RECORD ESTABLISHED SAT.

A world’s record for the major baseball leagues was established Saturday afternoon at Boston when the Brooklyn and Boston clubs traveled twenty-six innings to a 1 to 1 draw, darkness making further play impossible. The game was remarkable in the fact that after the sixth inning neither team was able to push a runner across the plate. Boston scored in the fifth and Brooklyn came back with their lone marker in the sixth, leaving twenty consecutive innings of scoreless Play. Cadore went the route for Brooklyn and Oeschger went the distance for Boston. The former allowed fifteen swats and walked five men, and the latter held the Brooklyns to nine blows and issued two free tickets. Each club was guilty of but two bobbles. The previous major league record was the twenty-four inning battle between the Philadelphia and Boston American league clubs September 1, 1906.
