County Chairman Littlefield talked with the chairman of the state democratic speakers’ bureau over the long-distance 'phone Tuesday regarding the failure of Congressman Flood of West Virginia filling his appointment at Remington Monday night. Chairman Hernden was as much in the dark as anyone about it. Congressman Flood was .billed for four speeches in Indiana, and for some reason, unexplained at the time Chairman Littlefield talked with Mr. Hernden, he failed to fill any of his dates. If the state committee was written as to why he could not come here, it had failed to receive the word, otherwise other speakers would have been sent to fill his dates. Mrs. A. F. Shesler and daughter Edna, also Mrs. C. W. Shesler, went to Woodland, 111., Wednesday to visit relatives and friends for the next two weeks.

pJVm. Hordeman of Genessee, Idaho? is here for a few days visit with his brother, Peter Hordeman, Sr., west of town. Mr. Hordeman used to live out near Stott Grant’s, west of town, and left here 30 years ago he borrowed the money of his brother Peter to go on. Now he owns a 320 acre farm near Genessee, which he rents and has a 8-acre place at the edge of town, where he himself lives. He has a comfortable bank account, and a few years ago made a trip to his old home in Germany. He thinks the section of Idaho where he lives is the “only place.” Wheat, oats and barley are the principal crops raised there, but Mr. Hordeman attributes much of hisfinancial success to hog raising. ?Mle Ba Y B he has fed 80-cent wheat to hogs and made money out of them. Some years he lost money on hogs, but he stuck to it and made it win. He is a man who had very little education in early life, but he now has the appearance of and talks like a very well read and well informed man, which he is in the practical things of life. He attributes his success also to the fact that he reads the papers and has kept himself well posted. He thinks the newspapers are the greatest educators of the day, and says every parent should take one or more papers in his home and see to it that his children read them. If they do this they will be well informed and well fitted to battle with the problems they meet in their later journeys through life. This is Mr. Hordeman's first visit here since he left. He takes quite an interest in politics and is a Bryan man all through.

JUDGE DARROCH’S POSITION. Kentland, Ind., Oct. 28, 1908. Dear Sir: Some of the questions that effect the state and national legislative ticket this year are of more than ordinary importance. Every conservative, thinking man, whatever his party affiliation may be, should not hestitate to decide for himself in the mutual Interest of all. The proposition to guarantee deposits in bank, both state, and national, is of peculiar interest to you and of unquestlloned ‘ general benefit. The money held .as a deposit by banks generally, is only fair that, they, out of the great profits made by loaning the money of their depositors, pay each year a small per cent of that profit as a guaranty fynd. It is believed that it would prevent runs on banks; restore confidence; revive business; and * render panics next to impossible. The guaranty fund would be paid by the banks and the small per cent, required to maintain the fund would be many times offset by the increased profits it would bring to the bank. As a candidate for Congress, I favor the guaranty of bank deposits, and our candidates for the legislature, Algie J, Law, stands with me on this proposition and we submit ft as ground for your support. Yours very truly, WILLIAM DARROCH. Subscribe for The Democrat.
