George Age Is For the President.

Seeking to learn just where George Ade stands in relation to his preference fpr a republican presidential candidate, the editor of the Eentland Enterprise asked the following question of W. H. Ade,, George’s brother: “Who is George Ade for if he is elected a delegate to the national con vendor?’’

Mr. Ade replied, “My brother, George Ade, is honestly and sincerely for the nomination of VicePresident Fail banks tor th<T presidency. He is an admirer of Mr. Fairbanks, and will do all in his power either as a citizen’or delegate to bring abont his nomination. If in the judgment of the members of the national convention Mr. Fairbanks cannot secure | the coveted nomination. I speak with solemn assurance to the voters of the tenth congressional district, that my brother is in heartylsympathy with President Roosevelt, and will stand to the end for a man who will carry outbids policies. My brother is an ardent admirer of the President, mid when I say that he will stand by him, I know whereof I speak”. Mr. Ade added with a laugh, “If George is not in sympathy with the President, I am against him myself..”

The enterprise then makes the following comment: “This is enough. It pleased us greatly to make this announcement, and we are glad that the clever Indiana humorist occupies a position so thoroughly in sympathy with the voters of his connty and district, Bnt this might be expected for George Ade followed the newspaper business too long, not to know just exactly what to do.”
