DEMOCRACY AND OUR COUNTY
LEGISLATURE.

Few people realize the Importance
of the Office of county commissioner.
The board of county commissioners
are to the county very nearly what
the state legislature is to the state.
Supplemented by the board of county
councilmen it really is sort of
legislature for the county The
councilmen are the advisors of the
commissioners.
Among other duties the commissions
ers make up the county budget dis
tribute all appropriations, approve all
bills, authorize all county improve
ments. other officers are all more or
less subservient to this board-de-
pendent upon it at least in matters of
finances. while their work to an
extent, calls for its approval. The need
of efficient men on the board of county
commissioners and the board of
councilmen is therefore apparent.
The democratic party presents the
names of Thomas Williams. of South
Bend, and James W. Miller. OF New
Carlisle. as its candidates for the
board of commissioners this fan Mr.
Williams is nominated to represent the
/ middle district and Mr.. Miller the
western district.

The fact that Frank Phillips is alive
today is probably due To his presence
of mind and the courage and daring
of his plUcky little wife. on Friday
evening when Mr.. Phillips went 10 the
pasture to drive the COWS to the barn,
a bull which was not considered dan
gerous did not come 10 the gate with
the other cattle, making it necessary
TO go into the field after him. At his
approach the animel went between
him and the gate lowering his head,
but as Mr.. Phillips had nothing with
which to defend himself he felt that
he dared not run for fear of pursuit.
The bull approached slowly, not seem
ing angry. but as Mr.. Phillips tried
adroitIy to leave him the bull became
determined he should not, and charg-

brevity, by General Sir Robert Boyd

laconic dispatch: Browne, beef.

the reply: Boyd. beef, Browne. y

Progressive national executive com
mittee, TO attend the national confer
ence of Progressive leaders In Chi
cage ON December 2, political tongues
are ciacking over rumors of overtures
by Progressivesl looking toward ANAL
gamation with the Democratic party
and the reported candidacy of Cover
nor Hiram johnson for the vice presi-
dency on the democratic ticket in
1916. t'
Prominent Democrats here, who
are in close touch with the Wilson
administration, are authority for the
statement that Such overtures have
been made with the condition that
Governor ,juhnson's name is to 90 in
second place on the Democratic tick
ct. 1t is pointed out by Progressive
leaders that the Progressive vote will
be the deciding factor in the next
presidential campaign. The Progress
sives realize that any success fol-
their party In 1al6 can be brought
about only through coalition with the
Republican or the Democratic par
ty.
upon this hypothesis advances
have Deen made toward such coali
ton by prominent Progressives.
Before leaving Pasadena today TO,

comment on the, rumor that Cover
