Just A Warning word.

This is the season when ty-
phoid fever germs Turk in the
atmosphere and trash and all
kinds of rubbish will cause this
germ to take life and be carried
into the home. There is nothing
so unwelcomed in the home as
illness, and typhoid fever is the
illness that all abhor. A little
precaution now may save several
lives and prevent an epidemic.
Attend to this and see that your
premises are free from garbage
and the water you drink is free
from fever germ.

FROM Now UNTIL DECEMBER 1 /,

State organization. The Indiana
Republicans received a slap in
the face at Chicago which crush
ed their pride and cut their
feathers in an alarming manner.
They are certainly without hope,
at least for this campaign. They
have been given notice that they
are not wanted, and have been
ordered to the rear to repent in
sackcloth and ashes for having
the audacity to oppose Mr..
Roosevelt's pet candidate for the
presidency.
"Thentbey have other troubles
to grieve over and discourage
them, among them weak State
ticket, with the candidate for
Governor in bad repute with the
labor organizations, the old sold
iers and the temperance people.
The Campaign opens with the
Republicans on the defensive,
and it is bound to continue along
that line until election day.

Indiana For Democracy.

Shelbyville, Ind July Il John
J. Wingate, the veteran editor
of the best-known and most in
fuential newspaper men IN the
State, is firm in his belief that
Taft will not carry Indiana and
that Tom Marshall will be elected
Governor. He has voted for
every Republican nominee for
President from Lincoln down to
Roosevelt.
Republican prospects for sue
cess in Indiana look gloomy, !"
remarked Mr.. Wingate. TO my
mind, the political b attic In
Indiana has yet, to be won with
the chances most favorable to
the Democracy. They have no
entangling alliances. Harmony
exists in every congressional
district. Bryan and Kern are
immensely popular with Indiana
Democrats. They will poll more
votes than any other Democratic
ticket that could have been nomi-
mated.
"But how is it with the Re-
publicans? The steam roller at
Chicago seems to have taken all
of the enthusiasm out Of the

Taft Platform.

Seeing the fatal mistakes OF
himself and party, made at the
Chicago convention in not fran
ing platform which contained
something that would justify the
rank and file of the Republican
party in supporting it, Mr.. Taft
/ seeks to secure votes by setting
forth and holding out to the pub
lie the false hope that his party
meant a great deal, they did not
say n the platform. The fact is
that the trusts understand that
in case Taft is elected he would
abide by the principles promul-
gated at Chicago as he should do,
to be honest and consistent.
While in his speech of acceptance
he would lead you to believe he
is the true and original defender
Of the peoples rights, but the
people of this portion of the
country too well remember, for
Mr.. Taft's good, his naughty,
high handed and overbearing acts
as u. S. Judge, towards those
who make their living by the
sweat of the brow. No one here
takes him seriously as to his soft
utterances, but his acts which
speak with ten fold more force
than words, stand out against
him in bold relief, and nothing
can ever obliterate them from
the minds of the liberty loving
citizens of our country. The
truth is, Taft is trying to carry
water on both shoulders and he
hopes to enter the White House
on the shoulders of Mr.. Roose-
welt, but Roosevelt, the people
believe to be their friend, while
they look on Taft as a cold blood
ed aristocrate, who knows nor
cares nothing about the common
people and the popularity of the
President will avail the recipient
of various appointed offices but
little when it comes to asking for
the suffrage of the people,
whose motto is Equal rights,
to all and special privileges to
none. "-Somerset Times.
The Adair County news., 1908-08-12


If it's true, as reported, that
Taft is already suffering from a
breakdown at the very inception
of the campaign, how much fthat
three hundred pounds of avoir-
dupois is going to be left on his
bones when Bryan gets through
with him? The Judge is going
to find many hotter places than
