WHERE ROOSEVELT HAS ALWAYS STOOD The LaFollette delegation to the republican national convention of 1904 •■as thrown out of the convention. The patronage and countenance of the rational administration were given without stint to Spooner and the stalwarts in their fight to kill oft LaFollette. Every sympathy of Roosevelt was manifestly with the anti-LaFol-lette wing. In lowa, likewise, during the long, heart-breaking struggle which Cummins led for the destruction of the railroad political oligarchy, Roosevelt was always counted against Cummins and for the oligarchy. In Illinois, when the bitter elements were making a determined fight to un horse Senator Hopkins, Roosevelt made Hopkins chairman of the committee on resolutions of the 1908 natnonal convention, giving him an endorsement that resulted in Hopkins carrying the primaries—and the unspeakable Lorimer becoming senator! In Kansas, when Long was fighting tor a senatorial nomination, Roose- - dt's influence was thrown to his side as against Bristow. In Oklahoma Roosevelt was the leader of opposition to a state constitution which intelligent publicists lave widely accepted as the latest and most emphatic word for progress in constitution making. In Pennsylvania the exposure of the state capitol graft having endangered

the republican control of the state, Roosevelt spoke in favor of party regularity at a time when every other leader of reform sincerely believed a republican defeat would be a magnificent achievement for the cause >f progress. In Massachusetts Roosevelt has always and uniformly been the friend and supporter of Henry Cabot Lodge, who is an absolutely dependable Tory. To such men as Joseph O, Cannon, James E. Watson and other leaders o' Toryism in congress, Roosevelt wrote letters which, published at the heigh, ul crucial political campaigns, served .is indorsements of the reactionaries to whom they were addressed. At Cleveland Roosevelt practically commanded Theodore E. Burton to accept the republican candidacy for mayor against Tom L. Johnson, lead r of the remarkable reform and humanitarian movement in that city. Burton l.ad the support of the municipal monopolies, the "regular" republicans and Roosevelt! And Johnson received nearly 10,000 majority of the vote. —Hampton’s Magazine. Mr. Beveridge's special organ, the Indianapolis Sun, gives notice that "this year the progressive (insurgent) republicans do not intend to be fooled. They intend to be represented (dictate the candidates) or they intend to punish the powers that are.” The Sun is a fool to print that kind of threats if it really has any Interest iu Mr. Beveridge's success. —Huntington Morning Times. Rep. Tne Washington (£>. C.) Herald says: "One thing is certain: Governcr Marshall has made one of the best governors that Indiana has had. and from Oliver P. Morton down the list is a strong one." Coming from a republican paper this is a notable admission. But the statement is true, as everyone knows. Both Governor Marshall and his administration will be icwerful factors making for democratic success in Indiana this fall.

IN THE ELEVENTH A Republican Postoffice Row That is Giving the Powers a Headache. AT HARTFORD CITY Elam Neal Charged With Trading in P. O. Appointments. DeMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., July 28 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —A republican postoffice row. which is thundering through the Eleventh district —the re terberations of which have undoubtedly already reached the hills of New Hampshire, where Senator Beveridge is endeavoring to rest —has developed from the appointment of L. C. Johnson as postmaster at Hartford City. The defeated candidate is Henry Geisler, publisher of the Hartford City 1 imes-Gazette. the big republican r.ewspaper of that district, who says Flam Neal, revenue collector at In-

dianapolis, and Beveridge's dispenser of patronage in tne Eleventh distrist, I Haded off this patronage in return I ter a congressional nomination for John L. Thompson of Gas City who is the father-in-law of Neal's daughter. Geisler has been postmaster and says Elam Neal had promised to reappoint him. High above the turmoil which is raging between the friends of Johnson, the new postmaster, and Geisler, is Geisler’s scathing denuciat:on of Neal as the “prince of doubleo< aling politicians.” He charges that Neal procured his re-election as republican district chairman by buying a vote for $25 and makes charges also against republican candidates for >nt senator and joint representative, J. W. Sale of Bluffton and Jocab G. Maddox. Geisler charges that Sale's candidacy is in the interests of the "gigantic Bell Telephone trust.” Mr. Geisler uses the Tlmes-Gazette to pu‘>lish to the world the duplicity of Neal who. he says, "Is recognized at Beveridge's dispenser of patronage in that district. Neal was assisted by Maddox and Sale, says Geisler, "in the i greatest game of double-cross ever | perpetrated in the district." L. C. Jt hnson is county chairman of Blackford county and this office was suopcsed to have curbed his appetite for the postoffice. After promising that he would keep “hands off" in the Hartford City postoffice controversy, Neal, according to Geisler, promised (Continue con page 4.)
