OUR OWN JUDGE ERWIN Os all the gubernatorial candidates that attended the Bryan meeting at Lafayette —and the list whs as long as the moral law —there was none of them that measured up to our own Judge Richard Kenney Erwin. While the democrats of Indiana are giving consideration to organization and to issues, they should not overlook the men who will represent the organization and issues upon the state ticket. Especially is this true of the one who will head the ticket as the democratic candidate for the highest and most important, office wihin the gift of our people. Judge Erwin has long been a student of state finance, and in campaigns past, presented arguments and facts suggesting that the time was at hand for a return to the simple life as practiced by the beloved Governor Claude Matthews. Then it was that the total expense of the governor’s office was but twelve thousand dollars. How different now when sixty thousand dollars is necessary for the governor and his official family to live at the expense of the people. Here is a chance for reform that should be heeded by the democrats, and in heeding the cry make the appeal earnest and sincere by nominating a candidate that has no use

for the fancy frills of extravagance, especially official extravagance. Judge Erwin has all the requirements and would serve Indiana faithfully and well as governor, and the democrats could not better honor themselves than by making him their candidate, Like Bryan, he has ever been faithful to every trust reposed in him and they have been both important and many. And best of all, he is a democrat at all seasons of the year and at any place you meet him. And for this reason and at least one hundred thousand other reasons, the Indiana democrats should nominate him for governor. There is no question aS td Bryan’s popularity in the Democratic party. No one dare challenge his supremacy. But among the people we doubt his strength. His nomination it seems to usy means another defeat for the Democratic party. —Winchester Herald. As the Herald has never in its life beheld a.Democrat that was strong enough with the people to be entitled to the right of public office, we move to indefinitely postpone their objections of availability.

ELITE PLAYERS PLEASE CROWD Attraction for Tonight One of the Beat of the Week. The Stetson-St. Clair Co. played to a small but 'well pleased house last night. The conditions of the weather prevented people from coming out. Those that were fortunate in being present were most highly entertained and everybody went away more than pleased. Miss Freck again took the leading role as Margaret Mordaunt, with thrilling effect. Mr. Stetson, as Comodore White, was most pleasing, while Miss Selden, as the French adventuress was extraordinarily fine. IKS-OHR "Quick George, ?£ Dumb Waiter!" Irene St. Clair as Aunt Sarah was well taken. The play as a whole was fine and the cast well balanced. The vaudeville features were good and the orchestra certainly come in for their share of praise. Tonight the company will present for the first time in this city the big one night stand play “Under the Shadows of the Guillotin.

The afternoon was spent in singing and social chat which proved very interesting and the collection taken, amounted to fourteen dollars, while the ladies’ expenses were but five dollars, so the affair was a success financially as well as socially.

And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation, even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of’a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium ,no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant extract that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The Sacred Herb.” Demand Dr. Shoop's. Take no other. W. H. Nachtrieb.
