J. H. HELLER, Manager. IT IS DISCOURAGING Regardless of what might have been expected, the boom for Thomas R. Marshall for the presidency did not materialize at the Jackson club banquet in Lafayette. The match was applied, train was fired, but after a mild explosion the face of Governor Harmon appeared instead of that of Governor Marshall. —Anderson Herald. Isn’t it discouraging. After reading the big black headlines that Governor Marshall was headed straight for the white house, and that nothing known to political science could head him off, and just as we see him covering the big executive chair of president Taft, and then comes the ice Water brigade. It is headed by the Anderson Herald and they read Harmon's name where Marshall's should appear, and they even see a faint vision of the form of the Ohio executive in place of the Hoosier governor. It is either a case of bad indigestion or there is a venomous streak running clear through that Herald writer. We move that he be banished along with Mayor Becker to the room below, and that the fires be kindled to a heat that will even touch their tough hides, and that the sentence shall last until all danger to future Marshall booms is past. We believe this punishment it little enough. In the face of what we have suffered in the past dozen years it is slight indeed in comparison to the offense committed. It recalls the regularity of the many Fairbanks' I booms, the Hemenway booms, tfie j Watson booms, the Durbin booms, and there was a time when we suffer-' ed from Cromer booms. During all , this we loyally said —in a whisper—. amen, God speed all Hoosier booms. I The first time the deal Is changed and here comes the piping voice of an insurgent, hammer in hand and with his fingers on the cold water faucet. It is discouraging.
