Without this we could all fold our tents and steal off into the night, and no one would know the difference and a few would care less. The public apathy is pathetic and viable candidates are striking out in several directions to latch onto issues that might excite the public interest aod make the offices they seek something of a prize. With this in mind, we thought we’d use this column in this way this week and make some long shots in the form of predictions. No one knows better than we do the risk one takes at making election predictions. And our record is not all that good. If years past can be any judge.

reported seeing the bear. Some think it is a wild bear. But my belief is if such an animal is there it has escaped from a circus some time. At one time there were brown bears in northern Indiana, but never that big.
