Democratic Slogans.

Indiana democrats have adopted two
campaign slogans. One is "The nation
is out of war" The other is The state
is out of debt" On these two issues,
principally they are waging their cam
paign.
They declare they have found that
i Indiana is peace state, and that the
people are nearly unanimous in telling
how glad they are that America is not
involved in war. This, they say is one
of the most powerful factors entering
into their prospective success at the
election. Peace talk, they say, is the
thing that appeals the more strongly
to the voters at the public meetings
and calls forth the greatest amount of
applause.
Democratic orators and campaigners
in Indiana shower upon President Will
son all the praise and credit for the
fact that America is not involved in
war. They are making the best pos
sible use of the argument In favor of
his reelection. But whether this ar
gument will be sufficient to put it
over for them remains to be seen.

This Regular Not So Wise.

A sergeant of the ed Infantry who
had witnessed the sport decided to pre-
vent a repetition of the occurrence by
removing the wooden plug from the
pipe and substituting a regular pipe
fitting. He hurried to a valve in the
pipe and presumably cut off the water
from that section OF the camp.

there won't be any further trouble"

OF the administration and the Mexican
issue in general about all the demo-
Gratis do is to say that most of the
lagitation of that subject is due to the
efforts of Henry Lane Wilson of In
diana, former American ambassador to
Mexico. They merely observe that he
lis cross because President Wilson
fired" him.
On state issues the democrats loudly
proclaim that Indiana is out of debt for
the first time in eighty four years and
that the democrats paid off the debt.
They point to long list of new laws en-
acted by the democrats during the ad-
ministrations of Cows Marshall and Raj
ston. and again ask the republicans to
point out any one of these laws that they
would repeal.
The democrats are seeking to keep the
national campaign and the state cam
raign so closely interviewer that they may
not be separated. They realize that Pres
ident Wilson is stronger in Indiana than
the democratic state ticket.
But the republicans have divorced the
two campaigns for their use. They are
driving hardest on state issues They do
not hesitate to accept the challenge of the
democrats in the state.
High Tax Rate.
Republicans point out that Indiana now
has the highest tax rate ii ever had, and
that it is costing $40 an hour more to

express the opinion that the people are

The republicans say they will win on
state issues, supplemented by national
issues. They are devoting most of their
time and attention to an attack on the
democratic state administration and its

IL the republicans carry the state they
are preparing to say that it was a vim

a victory would be an expression of the
