Wayne last week, State Senator Chester A. McCormick of North Judson, wag elected president. Harry B. Darling of Laporte, the retiring president, was elected delegate to attend the National Editorial Association ( meeting to be held in San Francisco in 1915. Next year's meeting will be held in Kokomo. Practically every democratic paper in the Tenth district, and several republican papers, including the Ilamraond Times, have sold advertising space to the progressive party during the present campaign. The Democrat is among the former list, and so far as we know there is no criticism for our doing so except from one or two parties who at present call themselves democrats, but who always look for a chance to find fault at anything they see in this paper. The souls of these faultfinders are so inflntesimally small and their influence so limited that their opposition is really an asset to those it Is directed against.
