Undesirable candidates are the result Of the
inactivity of the voters themselves and
unwise selections at the primaries. Each
voter should make up his mind rs to his
duty in the selection of candidates. Scan
their records and qualifications consult with
your neighbors, and then vote according to
your honest convictions as to the best practi-
cal means at hand for producing results II
such a course is pursued in wards where there
are contests, the results will not only bring
forth stronger candidates but make success at
the polls doubly sure.
The essential and paramount issue is the
selection of candidates who will measure up
to high standard. When there is candi-
date who is worthy of confidence, or who is
more worthy of it than his opponent, that is
the man you want to nominate. of course,
this is matter every voter must decide foI
himself impartially and without regard to
factions, but solely with a view of getting
nominations that can demand support with
self-respect. ...

Rev. DIR. Covert wagers That He VIII

Adams, the spiritualist-The Latter
Charges Covert with Fraud.
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 20.-There will be
a sensational contest here for six success
sive nights beginning tonight. The con-
test is between DR.. Covert, who has re-
Gently sued and been sued by the Indiana
Spiritualists and DR.. Harry Adams, of
Charlottesville, Ind, who claims to repre-
sent the Spiritualists, but many disolaim
him. DIR. Adams claims there have been
repeated efforts to defraud the Spiritua-
lists in Indiana and he has published sew
eral alleged exposures For six nights DR..
Adams is to appear here, and DR.. Covert
has wagered that he will do everything
that DIR. Adams performs, Covert not
claiming any medium assistance. The
men have each put up $500 with the
judges.
Spiritualists' statement as to the origin
of the contest is as follows: Several weeks
ago Rev. w. r. Covert posted $500 forfeit
that he could explain the tricks of any
spiritualistic medium A few days later he
announced that DR.. Henry Milton of
Philadelphia, had covered the forfeit and
would lecture at Anderson This $500 put
up by Rev Mr. Covert was to have been
guaranteed by citizens of Anderson.
Subsequent events have demonstrated
that DR. Henry NJ Adams, of Crawfords-
vile, spiritualistic medium known all
over the United States, was the DIR. Henry
Milton, of Philadelphia. DR.. Adams says
he has abundant correspondence with Co
vert to prove that the reverend gentleman
proposed to have Adams explain to him
the tricks so as to make the exposure GER
tain and complete, and then they were to
divide the $500 forfeit. He says he drew
Covert out by decoy letters, signed de-
coy contract with him, and then advised
| Covert that he would be exposed through
the press. He says part of Covert's plan
was to provoke the Spiritualists to libel
him, then recover damages from them in
| a libel suit
