The Indianapolis Star evidently has the political situation in Indiana sized up aoout as follows: If the democrats lose, it is an insurgent victory; if they win it will cheerfully conceded that it is a republican defeat. The Star is a g-r-e-a-t newspaper, politically. — Huntington Morning Times (Rep.) That Uncle Joe Cannon has lost whatever of level headedness he may once have possessed is evident from his trip to Kansas, and his strenuous speech of two hours* length with the mercury at 105 in the shade, in an effort to justify the iniquitous tariff of last summer and other highhanded proceedings of the standpatters. Prudence would dictate that the less said on those subjects the better, especially to an intelligent, independent electorate like the people of Kansas—South Bend Times. "The country owes a debt of gratitude to the insurgents in congress who made the fight against the domination of special interests, arid who placed the common good high above party regularity."—James R. Garfield (Insurgent Republican). But as it was the democratic votes in both house and senate that counted for anything, it seems that the country owes much more to the demo cratic party.

i come over into the democratic Tamp and abandon the pretense that 4hey are still republicans The apeparance of William Dudley Foulke of Richmond and Luciouz B. Swift of Indianapolis as the real leaders of the republican campaign was foreshadowed by their presence at Oyster Bay as a special embassador at the Rooseveit court of the Hon. A. J. Beveridge. Since then there has been confirmatory evidence of their selection as chief advisers and direcI tors of the republican state organization. Just why these “dyed-in-th wool" mugwumps—these heroes (and victims) of other fierce revolts from the regularly constituted republican authority—should be put at the helm now, it is hard to say. But it is probably because Senator Beveridge fell it necessary to furnish concrete evidence that he is a simon-pure insurgent. Foulke and Swift, aided by the Hon. John Overmyer of North Vernon—who also has had a varied experience with several parties—should be able to put it over Watson, Hemenway, Durbin and others of that class quite handily. MEMORIAL TABLET The Elks Receive a Handsome Bronze Plate From Rome, New York. MEMORIAL SERVICES Special Services Will be Held at Their Lodge Room Rriday Night. The Elks lodge of this city has a I handsome Memorial Tablet, just received from Rome, New York, from which place it had been ordered by the lodge in this city. The names of the deceased members will be engraved thereon. It has been planned to hold special memorial services a; their lodge room of Friday evening, and at this time the memorial tablet will be fittingly dedicated for its future use. A program is being arranged and the memorial services on Friday evening will prove to be the most elaborate ever given by the Decatur lodge. They now have two deceased members. R. J. Holthouse and Anson Van Camp, and at the services on Friday evening the members will especially remember them with these special services. The memorial service is for the members of the lodge and visiting members only, but this fact will not in the least diminish their merit, so every Elk in Decatur should be present at that time.

APPEALED IN VAIN Former Senator Hemenway Gave Senator Beveridge the Icy Mit. IN FINE FETTLE Democrats Over the State Report Their Prospcts Bright. DEMOCRAIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis. Ind.. July 20 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—-Those Indiana republicans of the once all-power-ful Hemenway-Fairbanks-Watson machine who have remained faithful to the old standard in the day of its partial collapse are not concealing their satisfaction over the fact that former Senator Hemenway has given Beveridge a dose of his own medicine, and

bM.rufuaed to. respond to the senior, 'snnalor s entreaty for help in the hour of hia direst need. The story of Beveridge's visit and appeal to Hemenway in the face of bis boast that Indiana will go republican by 50.000 is borne out by the recent announcement that Colonel (Roosevelt will, at the request of Beveridge. William Dudley Fouixe and Lucius B. Swift, come to Indiana and make at least one big speech for Beveridge. This announcement was made immediately following the boast of 50,000. and while the figures were still echoing through the astounded commonwealth. Even the republican leaders were amazed at his audacity. They caught their breath and looking timorously from one to another, they. too. shouted ••50.000," and waited for the laughter. Why did Ftoulke and Swift go to Oyster Bay? Why did they ask Colonel Roosevelt to come to Indiana? Why did they believe it necessary for him to come? These questions are being asked by those who have given the slightest heed to Beveridge's prediction of 50.000. .And some of these questioners are making answer. They cannot believe that Beveridge was in ignorance of the excursion and the appeal, or that if it were not suggest-

"He*, whintllng to keep up dtz courage, like the boy in »he graveyard." said Mr. lagKHrt. anu this la the accepied view. g M Ralston ° f I-’bHnon. one or the stalwarts of the Indiana demtxracy. who was In Indlnnapolta the other day. made fight of "everidge s claims. He said they were wild The democrats are going to carry Indian, this fall. " said Mr Ralston, and elect their state and legislative tickets. This talk of Senator Beveridge that the republicans will carry Indiana by 50,000 is without foundation— utterly wild. The coming of Roosevelt into Indiana will not do the republicans any good The big men of the party —tne men who do things—will not be dh tated io by any one. not even the ex-president. It will ue like waving a red flag in their faces. Roosevelts speech in Indiana will drive away more men than it will gain for the republican party."
