Will You Do It?

We invite you to turn the searchlight on the life, character and record of Will H. Ade, Farmer, Business Man and Good Citizen, who is making a winning fight to represent the Tenth District in Congress. The election of Will H. Ade will show the farmer boys of this district that farm life does not mean obscurity or political oblivion. Help swell his majority.

THE FARMER

Who represents the biggest business in the United States? The Farmer.” I'pon whose success depends the prosperity of the nation? The Farmer. Who feeds the world in times of war and times of peace? The Farmer. Who pays more taxes than any other business? The Farmer. Who has no representation in Congress? The Farmer. Who neither fixes the price on what he sells or what he buys? The Farmer. Who contends with the floods of spring, the drouths of summer, the frosts of autumn, and a Tariff Tinkering Congress in the winter time and still be prosperous? The Farmer. Mr. Farmer, Merchant and Laboring man, do you know there are over 300 LAWYERS in the present Congress of the U. S., while in all the great northern states combined there is but one lone FARMER? Such is the case. This year for the first time in your life you have the opportunity in this district to give the Farmers a representation, by voting for their candidate, Will H. Ade. He stands for a sane Protective Tariff, a Tariff Commission, Anieri-

Letters From Our Readers.

(Continued from r*age One)

ployes who hope to get through a measure of this kind, let me quote from the Hammond Daily News in its report of a meeting held in that city last February, of government or civil service employes, to further this scheme. The paper from which we quote is of the issue of Monday, Feb. 23, page two, column three. The News is the democratic organ of Lake county and is supporting Mr. Peterson for re-election, therefore its statements should be taken as absolutely correct in this matter. “The public meeting held in Baptist hall on Saturday night under the auspices of the Lake (’ounty Association of Civil Service Employes, Branch 187, was a decided success. The attendance was good and by the applause given the speakers, the public expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the movement. "The object was to inform the public of an effort that is being made at Washington to take care of the old and faithful civil service employes. "The Baptist orchestra rendered valuable assistance by furnishing several selections which were greatly appreciated ' by all present. “James R. Beilby, president of Lake Co., A. P. S. C. E., pre-, sided and gave a brief history of the organization and aims of the local branch. The chairman read a letter from John B. Peterson, our congressman, who stated that: “I have felt that employes of the government, especially the classified service, are underpaid and it has been my effort while in congresswlienever an opportunity offered itself, to try to do justice to the ones above mentioned." On Jan. 23, congressional record, page l 2272, Mr. Peterson’s sentiments are recorded. Mr. Peterson sent his best wishes to all of the branch and this the veriaus members appreciated. "Mr. Ed I. Gayner, national vice president of letter carriers of Mnincie, then spoke of our duty to fellowman. Reference was made to the good work done by Congressman Peterson, and Mr. Gayner said that when congressmen take the „ noble stand that our congressman has, there will be only a short time and the employes will be taken care oJ as they should he.”

can markets for American Farmers and Laboring men, and will not be any Party Caucus, hut will stand for any measure that will be for the best interests of a majority of the people of the Tenth District, whether such measure be introduced by Democrat, Republican or Progressive. He believes in placing HUMANITY above the DOLLAR MARK, PATRIOTISM above PARTISANSHIP, PRINCIPLE above POLICY.

Mr. Ade has waged a gallant fight for your interests, such as no other candidate has ever made in this district, speaking in nearly every township of the district to large and appreciative audiences, composed of men and women of all political faith, who have universally voiced their approval of the things for which he stands and openly pledged*- their support to the man who alone dares to proclaim, that if elected he will be guided in all tilings by the standard of RIGHT and WRONG rather than by any PARTY EMBLEM. Now Mr. Voter, it is up to you. You can do'one of two things, vote for a CORPORATION LAWYER or a FARMER.

if you candidly think that a CORPORATION LAWYER can best represent the interests of yourself and your neighbors in this strictly Agricultural and Manufacturing district; don’t vote for Will H. Ade, but if you feel that the FARMERS and BUSINESS MEN of this district are entitled to representation in Congress, you will cast your vote for WILL H. ADE, and if you do, both the old parties, as well as the Progressives, will be looking for FARMERS and BUSINESS men for candidates instead of Corporation Lawyers in 1916, VOTE FOR ADE. Beveridge for United States Senator on State Ballot. William 11. Ade for Congress on County Ballot.

PROGRESSIVE SPEA K I N G Remington, 1:30 p. m. Rensselaer, 8:00 p. m. Wednesday, Oct. tiK, 1914 HON. W. A. PIERSON Candidate for Secretary of State, will speak on Progressive issues of the campaign and tell you why you should support the cause. EVERYBODY COME ■

Now here is the undisputed evidence in Mr. Peterson's own words. What do you think of it? Why not retire the farmer, the laborer or the mechanic on a pension? He is highly commended by the “public”—the civil service employes who attended this meting -for his “noble stand” in behalf of such a pension scheme. .This “noble stand" of pensioning the great army of civil service employes, who already receive large salaries compared with other occupations, work eight hours or less per day, are given many holidays and annual vacations each year without loss of pay, and whenever a vacancy occurs hundreds of good, honest, intelligent and just as competent men are willing and anxious to take their places at the handsome salaries provided, is contrary to the wishes and desires of 85 per cent of Mr. Peterson’s constituency in this district. Of course the ones who expect to profit will be for him —who ever saw an officeholder ttiat thought he was getting all the salary he ought to have and did not think he should be given a pension for life as soon as he was let out of service—but the people who must suffer should Mr. Peterson’s expressed views in this matter go into effect, are decidely against any such proposition.

I am sorry to see our congressman go pn record not only as a mileage grafter and a salary grabber for the civil service employes—he says, “It has been my effort while in congress whenever opportunity offered itself,” etc., and that he thinks government employes “are underpaid” —but I am especially pained and humiliated to think that he would endorse and give his hearty approval to the pension scheme of this organization that is endeavoring to get such legislation through congress.

George .M. Babcock Writes From Tacoma, Wash.

Under date of Oct. 19, George M. Babcock writes from Tacoma, Wash., to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Babcock, and . says, among other things: ‘Things are picking up here a little. 1 got in 5% days’ work last week, which amounted to $33. I have not worked on a day shift for over three months, I guess. ‘‘Tacoma is to have 7,000 school teachers here between the 26th and 31st of this month, the State Educational Association meets here then. “Yesterday was apple day in Washington. Everybody is supposed to either eat an apple or buy a box of ijhein. They have also designated a

day on which salmon is supposed to be the main diet. “I had letter from ‘Ossie’ (Omar Osborn) a few days ago, he was packing apples at Monitor, Wash., then. He suggested that we have Thanksgiving dinner together in Seattle. Of course I accepted. 1 think a football game at the University of Washington campus in the afternoon and dinner at night will be the proper caper. “I see where ‘dad’ says there is to he five ballots used in Indiana in the coming election. He should be here to see a REAL ballot. The ballots in city and state elections here are certainly the largest I have ever heard of. There are five initiative measures, including state-wide prohibition, which I am going to vote for; a blue sky law; an 8-hour law for laboring men all over the state; a measure to do away with all employment agencies, and another measure of lesser importance. There were two niore measures petitioned for but they lost out in the count and courts. We will certainly have a big ballot to vote in November. “In just eleven more days the newspaper printers of this city will be working but seven hours a day, the new time schedule. “Three of us from the house have been doing considerable fishing the last few days. I don’t suppose you have ever eaten any shrimps, have you? They resemble a crawfish of fresh water. Shrimps are covered with a thin shell and are caught in nets, when held up to the light one can almost see through them, they having no red corpuscles in their blood. To prepare them to eat one merely drops them into boiling water for a few moments. To eat them is like tackling a pocketfull of peanuts. Break off the head and shell the remainder of the body. They are pink or light red in color after boiling, but their meat is not as sweet as crab meat. We also have been getting a good bunch of perch. I caught one large silver perch and three of another species Saturday. “Rain and cloudy weather has set in now and rainbows are becoming very common. Sunday I saw two rainbows arfter two good rains in less than two hours. On Wednesday opens here what is claimed to be the largest and best moving picture theater-*—the Colonial —on the Pacific coast. It is sure a pretentions building. The new street lights you are to install in Rensselaer, i believe are the same that are being used here. They give a very nice light, and I am sure will be a great improvement to ’the old town.’ ”

Alien Looks Writes From Cambridge, Iowa.

Allen Louks, formerly of near McCoysburg, Jasper county, who went to lowa several years ago, writes The Democrat under date of Oct. 21, in renewing his subscription, and among other things says; ”We could hardly get along without The Democrat, as it gives us all our old home news and we are alsa r* glad to see it. Corn picking is in full blast. Tim corn is very good in our part of the country. Some think it will run from 40 to >0 bushel:- per acre, although we had it quite dry in August and we also had a dry spring. In fact, it ■was dry all season until September, when the drought was broken by a heavy rain on Sept. 3, and all through the month it was quite rainy. It rained twenty-three days in September, and last week rain fell four days, so we are having it quite wet and muddy. We have no gravel or stone roads to speak of except near the larger towns. “Have had quite good crops every year since 1 have been here. If you will examine the map of lowa you will see that we live almost in the center of the state. 20 miles north of Des Moines. We have had no frost as yet. Tomato vines are green and flowers in our garden are in full bloom. Everything looks fine, better blue grass pasture than at any time during the season. Stock of all kinds is looking well. Horses are very cheap here. I attended a sale last Thursday and good horses three and four years old sold at a low price. A team of mares sold at $298.50. Cattle are very high and good yearling steers sold from S6B to $72, and cows from S7O to $95. Hogs weighing from 80 to 100 pounds sold at $11.40, more than they are worth in the market. “There was quite an acreage of winter wheat sown here-and it looks line. New corn is worth 62c and oats 41 %c per bushel. It was too dry for oats although they made a fair yield considering the drought. The average was from 38 to 4 5 bushels. But some fields on the river bottoms made 80 to 85 bushels per acre. Winter wheat made from 30 to 42 bushels per acre, while spring wheat made only 14 to 17 bushels. “Everybody is very busy. Fall plowing is practically all done. Most all of the old corn has been cleaned out of this section of the country, the most of it at 75c per bushel.’’
