POLITICAL NOTES. i ■ Hon. Patrick Hayes, democratic candidate for joint-representative of Jasper and White counties, was in the city a short time Monday between trains. 1

Frank W. Fisher of Kankakee tp., democratic candidate for county commissioner for the Ist dist., and Ezra Whitehead of Wheats eld, were in Rensselaer and,, Rmnington Monday looking after Mr. Fisher’s political fences.

A neighboring exchange says: “Remember the green ballot providing for a constitutional convention when you vote.” The constitutional convention ballot. Brother, is printed on white paper, the same as the county ballot, only it is but four inches square. The five ballots the voter will have presented to him when he enters the voting place next uesday, will be: State ballot, printed on red or pink paper; county ballot, printed on white paper; township ballot, printed on yellow paper; constitutional convention ballot, printed on white paper, and centennial celebration ballot, printed on blue paper. Remember that the maohine pol-

iticians are strongly ‘ fominst” a constitutional convention, and under normal reasoning it is therefore of interest to the people In general to vote for such a convention. Don’t forget this when you go to the polls to cast your ballot, .and mark X in the small square to the left of the w °rd "Yes" on the little white ticket. The Democrat also believes it is to the best interest of the people in general to vote "No" on the proposition of the state appropriating $2,000,000 for a centennial celebration This ballot is also small and is printed on blue paper. An X in the small square to the left of the word "No" is the proper thing with it.

Strange as it may appear, the Rensselaer Republican has taken the same view as The Democrat on the pros position of voting $2,000,000 for a centennial celebration in i?l' : But the Republican editors would naturally be supposed to stumble on the right side once in a great wh Ue, although such a thing happens very, very seldom, one must admit. And, in fact, after The Democrat had cotne out against the proposition, the Republican, to follow its usual tactics—right or wrong should be for it. Some people acquire knowledge through natural channels; some have knowledge thrust upon them, while still others gain knowledge by absorption. Let us hope that through some one of these avenues the editors of our esteemed contemporary are brightening up a little.

Through some error on the part of the democratic state chairman The Democrat was unable to announce the speaking here yesterday ■’> Hon. B. F. Shively, and Hon. i iioiuas M. Honan, in its Saturday issue. The date was fnade all right with County Chairman Erwin anal we had the advertising in the forms and tne bill on the press Thursday afternoon when the state committee phoned front Indianapolis to N. Littlefield to hold up the announcement until further word was had. No further notice was received, however, until Saturday, when thet county chairman called up the speakers’ bureau and was told to go ahead and advertise them for the date first set, Tuesday. This was very short notice to get the speaking well advertised over the county, but the local democrats did the best they could under the circumstances, and a very good Crowd turned ont.
