If Speaker Cannon is re-elected in hfs district, he will be elected Speaker in the event that the Republicans win in tipis election. He destroys popular governments in what was once the popular branch of congress, and the only way to restore rule by the people is to defeat Cannon and the Republican congress. It is not a personal fight against Cannon that is being waged, but a fight against Cannonism. The Republican party has approved the Qpnnon rules and stood for suppressing legislation. Hen. John W. Kern, the Democratic nominee for the vice-presidency, has developed into one of the best speakers in this campaign. It was the result of his speeches on the occasion of his recent eastern trip that Dupont, the powder trust magnate, was forced to resign as chairman of the speakers’ bureau and member of the advisory committee of the Republican national committee. Mr. Kern’s speeches have not received the publicity they merit, but they are having a telling effect in this campaign, and are making a lasting impression wherever heard or read. Before undertaking his southern trip Mr. Kern spoke strongly in op-

Republican Meeting THK ’ HON. GEORGE E. CLARK of South Bend Will address the voters upon the political issue of the campaign at the COURT ROOM, Decatur Ind. on Thursday Oct. 13th. AT 7:30 P.

position to the presidential habit of bossing the job of succession in the white house. In other words, Mr. Kern has endeavored to convey the impresi sior. that the average American i H not bereft of intelligence and self-respect. In his Kalamazoo speech, the Democratic candidate for the vice-presi-dency said: “The people of America will, in my judgment, demand the right to choose their servants free from official influence and effort of a president who goes almost to the point of violence in insisting that he be allowed to name his own successor.” The fact of the matter is that Mr. Taft’s stumping experiment has fallen flat; he has produced absolutely no enthusiasm among the voters, and he 'has said or done nothing which will improve his chances. Republicans are unable to conceal their feelings of disappointment over the poor showing which their candidate has made. Mr. Taffs progress thus far, and the manner in which he has been received is complete vindication of (hose Republican leaders who from the first opposed the plan of having him take to the rear platform. They advocated a front porch campaign wherein the candidate should be kept in the background, and others allowed to make his canvass upon Roosevelt’s record. The advocates cf a stumping campaign prevailed, however, and now they are sorry it was ever begun. A dispatch from Cincinnati shows why well informed people in Ohio are confident of carrying the Buckeye state. Here is a straw: * “Evidence that has been accumulating at Democratic headquarters is that Bryan will receive a tremendous accession from the railroad men. There is at Dayton, for instance, a Bryan Railroad Men's Club of 158 members, 72 of whom are Republicans. At the meeting at Mansfield yesterday the superintendent of motive power of ( one division of one of the big Ohio railroads, reported that of the 1,500 ( engineers and firemen under his super- | vision, more than three-fourths would vote for Bryan and Harmon. This is, of course, five weeks before election day,, and even at Democratic headquarters , they admit that there may easily be a ' change in the situation before Novem-I ber 3, but just now they are feeling well about it, and it gives the Republican managers something to think about, as well as an incentive to ac- ■ tivity. The Democrats have also been taking stock of the feeling among the miners, and as a result are asserting that this year they will have five times as many votes in the mining district as they have had heretofore. As to i the vote in the manufacturing centers | they are not so confident, although ’ they claim to have satisfactory infor-: mation from this source too. POLITICAL CALENDAR...

She was making all kind of sport and fun of them, more like the five cent shows than in God's house. That is the reason Mrs. Whitright moved her gcods for when she went to tell Mr. Stetson his daughter's actions, Charlie Ault and Mr. Stetson started to sing to hide the disgrace of Stetson’s daughter, although she did net take her things away till after service.
