The candidates for governor of In
diana are numerous and more or less
active, on both sides of the political
fence OF course, the activity on the
Republican side is greater than on
the Democratic The reason therefor
is easily understood. The contest
will be lively. Though not talked
about now, it is not at all improb-
able that the man who is likely to be
chosen as the standard-bearer of the
Republicans will be Congressman
Crnmpacker, of Valparaiso. Crum-
packer more than measures up to the
gubernatorial standard. He is easily
the foremost one in the lot.
Colonel Bryan is entirely right in
saying that all of President Roose-
velt's popularity in the country is due
to his acceptance of certain demo-
cratic contentious and that most of
the criticism heaped upon him is due
to his failure to accept other policies
for which the Democratic party
stands, and to his insistence upon
things that the Democratic party de-
nounces- All of which shows that
the peopel are only waiting for a
chance to put real Democratic pres
ident in the White House-Ft.
Wayne Journal Gazette.
Yes neighbor, but where on the
face of Mother Earth would you look
for sample of the real thing?"

circulation has dropped below 1900,

shaking dowr" candidates within a
few years it will not be necessary
for the office boy to carry the edi-
ton of the Democrat under one arm,
Metsker will be able to carry it under
his hat
Metsker who was completely
knocked out by the council in his
nefarious attempt to work them for
his own benefit, now has the gall 10
say that the decision of the council
was acquiesced in by himself before
the action was taken. The assertion
is too gauzy for any one to believe
The facts are that Metsker was try
ing to bulldoze and browbeat the
council, even up to the last moment
He stigmatized that body in the most
abusive terms, and made every eff.
fort to override the council and pre-
vent the repeal of the ordinance thai
