It js now only a little more than two weeks until the election, and the various local candidates are getting about over the county ih their campaign. Come out this afternoon to the Gaiety airdome and hear Judge Thomas A. Duncan, chairman of the Indiana Public Service Commission, discuss the political issues from a democratic standpoint. Warner Miller, who was nominated for road supervisor in district number 1, Marion tp., by the democrats, declined to accept same some time ago, and Barney Kolhoff has been placed on the township ticket in his stead. T. F. Maloney of Kankakee tp., democratic candidate for county clerk, came down Wednesday and iq putting in the balance of the week campaigning in this section of the county. Mr. Maloney is driving a fine new Buick automobile which he recently purchased. The chairmen of the various political organizations of the different townships, as well as the county chairmen, should remember that today, Saturday, is the last day for filing certificates of nomination, and that no names can go on the ballot unless the certificates of nomination are filed within 15 days before election. Please bear this in mind and make sure that the certificates of your party have been filed. Later—• The democrats have filed all their certificates. In refutation of the calamity hojvls being put up by some of the more narrow and ignorant editors of republican papers, we notice that the Pullman Palace Car Co., has given out a statement of its earnings for the year ending July 31, showing the gross earnings of the company for the fiscal year to have been the greatest in the history of, that company, a total of $44,725,514, an increase over the previous year of $1,864,623, which was the greatest up to this year. The Haynes Automobile Company of Kokomo, Ind., state that “although the Haynes factory has employed a night shift for the past three months, in addition to the regular day force and the production has been increased to 5,006 cars, the company finds it difficult to satisfy the demands of its dealers for cars, with ths result that a great many dealers have come to the factory and camped on the trail until their cars were shipped. Dealers demand, of course, is created by consumer demand,” says the Haynes company, “and it is because of the latter that dealers in every part of the United States have come to Kokomo in person to wait for their cars. And when the distance is not too great, they invariably have driven overland in preference to having the cars go by express or freight, A few such recent trips have been made as far east as Philadelphia, west to Sioux City, north to Minnesot and south to Nashville. Many shipments to Omaha, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and other points on the Pacific coast have been made by express.”
