HE IS ONLY COQUETTING WITH INSURGENCY The following from the Pittsburg Post is such a true and just statement of one phase of the present political situation that it should be read and considered by honest men in both patties: "To employ the lingo of the boulevard, possibly no greater bunco was ever framed up than is now under construction by the redoubtable mouth-re-former of Sagamore Hill. No mystery i eally attaches to his machinations. Politicians have played his combination before, and in strict accordance with his present method. He designs to play both ends against the middle. He will throw' the weight of his alleged popularity and prestige and pretentious ethics in favor of an insurgent like Beveridge in Indiana to cajole the regulars to support a candidacy waged upon a duly adopted platform. He will find no difficulty in diving through the earth to the antipodes in Massachusetts, where his Pecksniffian friend Lodge is conducting a similar candidacy upon a distinctly and diametrically different party creed. So will he distribute favors, without regard to consistency, but imbued with the partisan zeal to help elect any kind of a republican anywhere. "Should, by any popular befuddlement, this embrace game succeed, Cannonism will be reinaugurated, and T. R. will exhibit his teeth behind lips

parted in an exultant laugh. For surely insurgency at present is a minority element in republican ranks. When regulars and insurgents in perilous situations are rescued the old motto of "addition, division and silence" will be hung above the feasting table of the united gang. "Two conclusions should impress the citizen of honest and positive convictions. The mere tact that republl cun insurgency exists is proof of the truth of the democratic indictment. The views of Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Ix>dge are utterly irreconciliable. if the ballot be the silent register whereby a voter's political ideas can be expressed. common sense dictates its casting lor a compact organization which has long and consistently espoused the doctrines which, under stress of foul weather, these insurgents tor the exigent moment uphold To vote for either republican faction in different communities is to squander the value of the ballot. Mr. Roosevelt, by every token, is a rank partisan of the Aldrich-Penrose kidney, and Lis coquetting with insurgency Is bm In furtherance of that medaeval Italian system of the end justifying the means." Now since it is decided by the democrats and their state organization is to invi f e the peer.ess leader, W. J. Bryan, ;o lend his voice and aid in Indiana during this campaign, we should like to inquire by what mail a similar invitation goes frern the republican committee to that grand man and leader, the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, whose p. o. address is Danville. Illinois. It has been known for a long time by those close to democratic organization in this state that an invitation would be extended to the Hon. W. J. Bryan, asking him to come to Indiana and help the democrats in this campaign. Chairman Jackson will extend the invitation, and many other personal letters will follow the one to be sent by Chairman Jackson, and it is a safe bet now that Mr. Bryan will return a favorable reply and that he will be here during the exciting days of the campaign. The stories that come from the I northwest indicate a serious crop failure in the Dakotas. Montana and Canada, because of the droutn and hot winds. While there are no reports of distress or need, the failure is opening the eyes of the people to the fact that every section of the country has some disadvantages, and that right here in Indiana we have far less to contend with than do the residents of most any other part of the country. The drouth in the northwest will probably check the tide of emigration to that section. —Lebanon Pioneer. The republicans of the state are now deprived of another great issue in this campaign. For a month most of the big headliners in the republican newspapers of the state have been to the effect that the, democrats have barred Bryan from taking part in the campaign because he has taken up the cause of county option in his home state. Bless your dear souls, the democrats and the prohibitionists are the only parties in Indiana that by their platforms stand for temperance. The republicans ignored it completely. It is but fitting that Mr. Bryan should come to Indiana and lend his voice and aid in behalf of one of the two temperance parties. FOR SALE.

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN Democrats Made Plans For Their Campaign at Meeting Yesterday. .OPENS SEPTEMBER 10 Among the Foreign Speakers Will be Bryan, Gore and Champ Clark. DEMOCRAIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., July 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat i—riaiix for an active and vigorous campaign in Indiana were made yesterday at a meeting called by Shmuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon. of the democratic state campaign committee. Present, as invited guests of the committee, were members of the democratic state ticket, the democratic congressmen, Governor Marshall and Thomas Taggart. Speeches were made by men representing every section of the state and invariably these reports were such as to inspire the hearers with the certainty of democratic victory in November. provided there be no shirking in the work incident to the campaign. "Organization” was the keynote of the meeting, which was enthusiastic from the moment Congressman Lincoln Dixon, the first speaker, took the floor. Each speaker who followed him laid stress upon the importance of organization—and organization which would enlist not only every precinct committeeman in the active campaign—but one that would also carry home to each democratic voter the responsibility resting upon him. It was the concensus of opinion that if the democratic voters responded and went to the polls in November, victory for the democratic cause would be assured. Among the subjects discussed was that of foreign speakers, and among those mentioned were William Jennings Bryan. Senator Gore and Champ Clark. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that these men should be asked to assist in the Indiana campaign and at the proper time an invitation will be extended to them by State Chairman Jackson. Governor Marshall and Thomas Taggart made speeches in which they agreed with the opinions of the others, that victory was assured if all democrats would put their shoulders to the wheel. They emphasized the importance of getting out the democratic vote and of getting a complete and thorough organization. There were nearly thirty present during the meeting which began at 10 o’clock in the morning and continued until 5 in the afternoon. In the course of the day a report was made by every candidate present, many of whom have already visited certain parts of the state and canvassed the situation. Each of the congressman present, including Congress- - man Dixon, Cullop, Korbly. Boehme and John B. Peterson, nominee in the Tenth district, was called upon for ah expression of his views on the Indiana situation. Nearly all of them have gotten in touch with conditions since the adjournment of congress and expressed themselves as confident of Democratic success. State Chairman Jackson reviewed the Indiana situation as he has found it and gave an outline of the work already done by the state committee and that planned for the future. “I am pleased to find such unanimity of opinion here today,” said Chairman Jackson. ‘‘lt speaks well for the success of our party. We are agreed upon all points and out of such harmony I am sure nothing but success can come." Many of the things suggested in the way of organization by the various speakers were shown by Chairman Jackson's remarks to be already under way. Steps toward perfecting a splendid 'tate organization have been taken and much work done preliminary to the speaking campaign. Mr. Ralston as chairman of the meeting kept things moving and with good reports from every speaker there was enthusiasm every minute dicing the long meeting. At its conclusion Chairman Raltrfon made the following statement: "The meeting of the campaign committee was attended by the state candidates and the democratic candidates for congress. In addition to these gentlemen. Governor Marshall. Lieut. Governor Frank J. Hall and the national committeeman. Thomas Taggart, attended the meeting. The general plan of the campaign was discussed at length, proper notice being taken of the political conditions in the various congressional districts. It was the opinion of those present tha' he economical and statesmanlike ad "inistratfon of Governor Marshall, as ’onrrasted with republican adminis-

' trations, should be made prominent in the campaign. The tariff question, Including the increased cost of living and the fallacy of Senator Beveridge's tariff commission will be discussed from every stump. Governor Marshall made an enthusiastic speech, urging that the democratic party must stand for economy and the right of the people to rule In government. He said the democratic party must not be put in the attitude of championing any particular interest. Mr. Taggart urged the Importance of organization and placed his services at the disposal of the committee and the candidates. He assured them that he was ready to cooperate with the democratic organization and was ready to take upon himself any work to which he might be assigned. Both Governor Marshall and Mr. Taggart assured the meeting that the outlook for democratic success was never brighter. It was the unanimous opinion of everyone attending the meeting that among the foreign speakers Mr. Bryan. Senator Gore and Champ Clark should be asked to take part in the Indiana campaign. Several gentlemen gave it as their judgment that Mr. Roosevelt’s coming into Indiana to whip in line the republican leaders who are fighting Beveridge would result in failure. It was the belief of the meeting that these opponents of Senator Beveridge are in frame of mind to be bossed." — -o INSTANT DEATH E. D. Drage, Eighteen-Year-Old Son of Fred Drage. Meets Death.

Give your wife a vacation. She needs one. Little cares are harder to bear than great responsibilities, and she has many more cares than her husband and sometimes as great responsibilities.
