With one amendment this is all right. Everybody grows rich from handling food except the man who raises it and the man who eats it. ' The talk about protecting the American laboring man from the cheap labor of Europe is insufferable rot. The cheap labor of Europe is imported into this csuuuy ana is given the places of Americans in the mils and mines of the nation. The American laboring man is driven into open com petition with the cheap labor of Europe by its being brought here for the express purpose of getting his job. Then it is voted in bunches, like it was at Gary in 1908. to keep a party in power that raises the tariff so that the manufacturer who employs them is enabled to keep out Europeanmade goods and force the American laborer he drove from a job by the cheap imported labor to pay more for his necessities of life. Will some standpat paper tell us where the American laboring man gets and protection under this system? —Indianapolis Sun, Insurgent Republican. Senator LaFollette in his magazine calls upon all insurgents to stand together. The appeal is directed to Democrats as well as republicans. This is surprising for the idea has been given out that insurgency stands

tor the only and original brand of republicanism. But lutFollette's appeal to democrats Indicates that insurgency isn’t republicanism, a fact that has been suspected for somatime. We take it then that insurgency is a creature of politics which has. as its chief alm and purpose, the control of a political party. LaFollete gives one to understand that the determin., tian is to rule or ruin. It is difficult to understand why republican support is sought for a movement that makes the appeal also to democrats. This sort of politics looks more like an attack on the republican party than a movement in behalf of republican policies.— Huntington Mornitjg Times, Rep. STILL AFTER THEM Indianapolis Sun Contends That the Republican State * Officers Illegally Elected. SHOULD SURRENDER State Chairman Jackson Says They Should Resign at Once. DEMOCRAIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., July 27 —"The Indianapolis Sun, which is a republican newspaper, owned and edited byRudolph G. Leeds, charges that every republican elected on the state ticket two years ago and now occupying

office in the state house was elected dishonestly, through illegal and corrupt practices. Now. will these gentlemen, who profess to be honest officials. rest under this charge, coming as it does, from their own party? Or wil Ithe Sun go a step further, and demand that these officers surrender their offices to the democrats who were defeated on the face of the returns?'' This is the statement of U. S. Jackson, democratic state chairman, based upon the admission of republicans that their state candi dates, elected two years ago. were elected illegally. This charge was made by democrats at the time, but with the machinery in republican hands there was no possibility of making it stick. Evidence was gathered to show that 2.000 of the 2,700 foreigners who voted the republican ticket in Lake county two years ago were voted illegally. Records of the imm: gration bureau show that they had not been in the United States to exceed six months when they voted. The law requires a year's residence. The 2,000 votes which are now admitted by republicans to have been illegal and corrupt, defeated the democratic ticket with the exception of governor and lieutenant governor and superintendent of public instruction. If they had not been cast the entire democratic ticket would have been elected. The republicans won by not to exceed 1.099, which was the plurality of David A. Myers, for judge of the appellate court. First district. "The democrats charged fraud and illegal practices at the time,” said Mr. Jackson, "and now the republicans admit it. Is it not up to them to resign and surrender each office to the democrats who were thus illegally*defeated? I call upon them to do so if they are honest, conscientious men." The Sun is a rampant Beveridge supporter, and is undersieod to be very close to the senator, so close in fact that the inference is being drawn that if Beveridge did not know an 1 approve of the Sun's charges before they were made, he was at least not averse to their being published. The Sun says: “The corrupt practices in Lake county in the last campaign are still fresh in the minds of the people. It was proven that nearly 3,000 foreigners were illegally voted in Lake county, men who had not been in this country long enough to be naturalized. The tremendous republican majority which that county gave and which saved the republican state ticket, was illegal, corrupt and rotten to the core and it is the shame of the republican party in this stale that it ever defended the voting of a herd of j foreigners less than six months away from Castle Garden, men who could not read dr write or understand the English language.” o- . Harry Daniels of Pleasant Mills was among the many business callers in the city today. J. B. Holthouse, who has been at Jackson, Mich., for a day or so, looking after some business matters, has returned home.

The O. L. Vance home on North Second street was thrown open Tuesday afternoon to fifty ladiqg who were invited by Mrs. Vance and her sister, Miss Delia Selemeyer, to greet Mrs. George Masters of Wauseon, Ohio. The Vance home, tastily decorated with flowers, was a most cool and inviting place in which to spend a warm afternoon, and the guests forgot there was such a thing as heat, in the delight of the charming hospitality of the hostesses. Garden flowers—nasturtiums and sweet peas —standing everywhere in great bowls, artistically arranged, made the aii fragrant and the scene beautiful to behold, as did the feathery asparagus sprays twined about the chandeliers and archways and every available place suited to the greens. In an interesting and unique musical contest, in which questions in rebus form were answered with musical terms, first honors were borne off by Mrs. Will Lehne. Another contest, equally interesting, was ‘a centennial contest, pertaining to great people ot a century ago, in which the prize was awarded Mrs. J. W. Tyndall. A very rare treat were the musical numbers and readings given by several very talented members of the party. There were delightful piano numbers by Frances Merryman and Mrs. Otto ftaubold, very good readings by Miss Fay Smith in her accomplished and perfect way, and vocal solos by Miss Edna Colbert, a rare vocalist of Warren who charmed all with her singing. Luncheon, in two courses, was served at 6 o'clock, the hostesses being assisted in the serving by the Misses Frances Merryman, Edna Hoffman and Esther Sellemeyer. Out-of-town guests were.
