-~ BUSY MR. HUGHES

Charles E. Hughes has been so quiet on his vital subjects involved in questions propounded by 37 of the'leading writers of the country, that Senator Thomas Taggart fears he has not had the questions called to his attention.

To be sure that he does not overlook them, the country being most anxious to hear his answers, Senator Taggart has read the questions into the congressional record. ] While Mr. Candidate Hughes is making his trip acrross the country which he describes as a ‘‘fool’s paradise of temporary prosperity,”’ the ‘“prosperous fools’’ he talks about are being treated to a scoldfast by the candidate who abuses all that Woodrow Wilson has done and offers nothing constructive. L b ‘

~ So these writers asked if he would 'have sent the United Stetes navy to ‘protest against the invasion of Belgium, if he would have followed the Lusitaina’s disaster with war on Germrany rather than diplomatic negotiations: if he would have prevented the shipment of munitions to warring nations; if he would urge universal compulsory military service; if he would have recognized Huerta; if he now favors intervention and war with Mexico; if he will state his specific complaints against the federal reserve; if he still opposes the income tax as he did when governor of New York. | : ° All these questions Senator Taggart has bad inserted in full in the congressional record, and the newspaters in each city where Candidate Hughes appears repeat the questions, These newspapers also point out that as an enthusiastic advocate of votes for women Candidate Hughes did not go to the trouble to register and vote when he had the chance in New York. That Woodrow Wilson went to New: Jersey to register and returned to vote in favor of women. In fact it is pointed out that Mr. Candidate Hughes has not cast a ballot in any election since 1910, since he was given a life job on the supreme bench by Presi dent Taft. For a man who speaks so enthusiastically on the sacred duty of all Americans to vote it is strange that he should have neglected for seven years to exercise this sacred right as a citizen. Probabably he had forgotten to what party he belonged until after the Chicago convention noninated him. f

In his first public utterance since receiving questions propounded by that able corps of American writers Mr. Hughes fails to make any reply. Mr. Hughes knows he cannot answer.

There will be many Noble county visitors to Fort Wayne August 19 when Congressman Adair will make a democratic speech Gpening the campaign in Indiana. |

Candidate Hughes wants a high protective tariff so as to re-imburse Wall street for the money advanced to make the republican campaign.

Boys—Enter State Fair Judging Contest. :

Many Hoosier boys are taking advantage of the opportunity, presented by the State .Board of Agricultural in the live stock and grain judging contest held at the State Fair on Sept. 9, 1916, to make of themselves better agricultural students and to win substantial cash prizes which will help pay the expense of their first year in college. Every boy entering this contest places a class each of draft horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, hogs, wheat, white corn and yellow corn. The live stock used in these classes is taken from the best herds exhibited at the fair and each class is placed and his placing explained by the regular judge of that particular kind of live stock, thus affording an opportunity for each boy to closely exantine some of the best steck in the country and to compare his judgment of the merits of that stock with that of men who have nation wide reputations as live stock judges. The boy winning first in this contest receives a $lOO.OO cash scholarship in the school of agricultural at Purdue university. Second, third and fourth prizes are 875, $5O and $25 scholarships respectively.

Will Not Have to Register

Fortunately Clerlc Favinger of the Noble Circuit court did not destroy the poll books used at the last general election and as aresulta re-registration will not be necessary in Noble county according to late information given out. An interpretation of the law is as follows: ,

“If the registration books are destroyed, mutilated, inaccessible, or are for any other reasonable cause unfit for use, or if the poll books kept by the poll clerks at the last general election have been destroyed or lost, or for any other reason it is impossible for the auditor to obtain possession of the same, then the auditor shall give notice for a registration of all- voters resident within sueh precinct. We recommend that the question of whether there is to be a.complete registration of all voters resident in any of the precincts be determined at once by the several county auditors and notice thereof given by them at once to the county chairman of all the political parties in their counties.’’

To Meet Old Enemies

The base ball fans of Ligonier still smarting under the sting of conditions which changed seemingly sure victory into defeat when their team last clashed with the Rogers Grays of Goshen have organized a team to finish out the present playing season, the principal purpose and aim being to even up old scores at Goshen, although some games may be played at Kendallville and other places. The first game will be played at Goshen on the 27th instant, one week from next Sunday Manager Biggs says that the Ligonier team will be fully as strong as the former one, if not stronger, and that fact and the rivalry existing between the Goshen and Ligonier fans will certainly make the first game intensely exciting and interesting. Our boys are going to Goshen with blood in their eyes and there is going to be a red hot time. Here’s luck to them and honorable defeat for their old time enemies. ° :

That more than ten thousand Hudson Super-Sixes have now been_delivered to owners. - Teln o et e That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, quadrupled our daily output. : B i That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for 20,000 more of the present Super-Six. ~ Constantly increasing demand has just forced us to place contracts on materials for an additional 15,000. | , - Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will be built like the present model. OQur production is now 3,500 monthly. ' e

. No Change in Sight = Our opinion is that a like announcement will be made in a year from now. The Super-Six invention in one bound increased motor efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at 76-horse-power-motor. And simply by ending vibration. v Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have out" rivaled all other stock car performance. In speed, in hill climbing, in quick acceleration and endurance, they have done what was never done before. Ng man can doubt that the Super-Six holds the pinnacle place among motors. And there is no higher place in sight. : After eight months ef experience, with 10,000 cars, not one important improvement in design suggests itself to our engineering corps. So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And, because of our _patents, it will maintain its supremacy. . caent : o Watch the 10,000 - Watch the 10,000 Super-Sixes now running, and judge if you want a car like them. v * Each owner feels himself master of the road.
