DEMOCRATIC DAY

At Fountain Park Assembly Next Thursday. KERN, MARSHALL AND OTHERS Will Be There—Jackson Club of Lafayette to Come With Band On Special Train. Democratic day at Fountain Park next Thursday promises to be the “big day” of the Assembly. Hon. John W. Kern, of Indianapolis, candidate for vice-president, Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, of Columbia City, candidate for governor, Hon. M. B. Lairy, of Logansport, candidate for Supreme Judge, and other prominent democrats will be in atand speak to the assemblage. The Jackson Club of Lafayette will, we understand, come in a body by special train and bring a fine band-Of music with them. As the farmer’s work is now’ well out of the way they should all turn out next Thursday to this meeting, as it may be their only opportunity of seeing and hearing Mr. Kern and Mr. Marshall during the campaign. The former has been before the public longer than the latter, and many of our readers have met him, but Mr. Marshall is practically unknown except by reputation to the people of this section of the state: • The Democrat wants its readers to see and hear him. He is a man who impresses you at once with his honesty, and you can not help but remark after seeing and hearing him, “here is a man we can depend upon; he la not a professional politician, and the confidence and esteem in which he is held by those who know him best is not misplaced.” Judge Lairy is afso a good speaker and a fine man. You will not regret having gone to hear him. Hon. Stokes Jackson, state chairman, District Chairman Risk and other prominent democrats from all over the state will be at Fountain Park next Thursday, and we want you to be there, too. The distinguished honor that has come to Mr. Kern of being the Choice of 7,000,000 voters for the second place on our national ticket, makes his presence even more interesting than before, and his reputation as a speaker is such that those who go to hear him will not be disappointed. Lay aside your work next Thursday and go to Fountain Park and shake hands with Kern, Marshall and" Lairy, and hear them, too.
