ty in the last campaign are still fresn in the minds of the public. 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 to the shame of the republican party in this state that it ever defended the voting of a herd of foreigners less than six months away from Castle Garden, men who could not read or write or understand the English language.” — Indianapolis Sun, Rep. Tse superintendent of the Indianapolis city schools has asked the school board for a $40,000 increase in the appropriation for the pay of teachers during the next school year. A principal reason tor the increase is the high cost ot living, capable teachers are needed in all of the schools of the state, and they must, in the nature of things, be paid sufficient wages to provide sos their living expenses and to encourage them to do their best work. If the payment of such wages leads to higher taxes, the blame must be put where it belongs, and that is upon the party responsible for the policies and legislation which have brought the

tremendous increase in the cost ot living. That party, as every intelligent person knows, or should know, is the republican party. In bestowing favors upon a few powerful interests it has given them both opportunity and authority to fix prices of the necessaries of life to suit themselves, with the result that they are constantly augmenting the cost. If the people do not want increased taxation, they should vote with the democrats.

HIS OWN OPINION I Have Kicked the Stomach Off the Tariff Bill, Says Beveridge. TO ELECT THE TICKET State Chairman Jackson Believes the Democrats Will Sweep the State. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pytnian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., August 2—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Senator Beveridge's own private and personal opinion of his speecii before the recent republican state convention is tersely summarized in telegrams sent by him to friends in Washington, D. C., that same evening. "I have kicked the stomach off the tariff bill.” Thus wired Senator Beveridge in the afterglow of his oratorical effort. This telegram was not the first that figured in the day’s proceedings. It is understood that some of the senator's progressive friends at Washington were not altogether sure that he would "whack" the Payne-Aldrich bill as he had promised. They kept urging him to bo firm and keep a “stiff upper lip.” Messages of this sort are said to have been received by Senator Beveridge prior to the convention. The doubt of Senator Beveridge’s sincerity appears to have existed in Washington as well as in Indiana and the other “progressives” felt called upon to spur him into the action and to force him to commit himself before the state convention. They feared that if he were not persistenly encouraged by them he would “trim his sails” to any policy of expediency that might be suggested. They felt that

their efforts had not been in vain when reports of his convention speech and his attack on the tariff bill reached them. They had hoped for an eloquent criticism of the tariff bill an.l were somewhat surprised to receive, instead, a telegram announcing a surgical operation. Those who have heard of Senator Beveridge’s telegram put it in the same class with his statement that Indiana would go 50,000 republican at the November election. This statement was compared to the action of' the small boy who, going through a graveyard at night, whistled to keep up courage. They see in the telegram an element of false assurance and exaggerated bravado that neither necessity nor good taste demanded. Reference to the republican state convention recalls President Taft's action in cancelling, immediately afterward, a speaking date which had been arranged for him in Indiana. It was understood In Washington at the time that the president, while totally at variance with Beveridge on the tariff and other matters, did not desire to embarass the senator by coming into Indiana and answering that convention speech. This ieit he would be compelled to do as a matter of honesty. At that time, however, be was urged by Charles W. Fairbanks and other "regular” republicans, to come, regardless of the Beveridge situation. President Taft stuck to his determination until recently, when it was announced that he would make one Indiana speech at Winona Lake. Just what pressure was brought to bear, and hy whom, in thus bringing the president into Indiana is not known. The perplexity of the situa tion is increased by the latest development—the announcement that the Winona Lake engagement has been cancelled and that the president will not come to Indiana. These surface disturbances indicate a lot of “wire-pulling” and many guesses are hazarded as to the names of the men who hold the wires. Senator Beveridge, who is, of course, looking after his own interests, does not desire the presence in Indiana of the president, who could only voice his disapproval of Beveridgeism. On the other hand there must be some powerful and influential republicans wim are urging the president to come. With an honest vote in Lake akd othbr counties where the foreign population must enter largely into politicalculations, U. S. Jackson, democratic state chairman, believes the democrats will elect their entire state-ticket this fall, including every congressman, says the Indianapolis Bar. He bases his belief upon three facts. First, that an honest vote in such counties two years ago would have elected the entire democratic ticket. Second, that the democrats then elected have redeemed their pledges. Third, that the stand of democracy upon prevailing issues is right, and that the trend of public opinion is toward democratic principles this year.

MORMON MISSIONARIES HERE. Owing to the misrepresentation of the Mormons, there will appear on the streets of Decatur, August 6th and 7th, at the hours oi 3:30 and 8 p. m.. six Mormon elders, wno will give the people a chance of hearing their teachings from their own standpoint. For the benefit of the people the following has been submitted:. We accept the Bible as the word of God, and our religion is founded upon the revelations of Jesus Christ. We not only accept the utterance of inspired men in the past age, but believe that God has spoken again in this dispensation for the guidance of his people; that subsequent to the death of the Savior, the transgressions of the people were so great that the authority of the holy priesthood was taken from the earth, and this we claim in fulfillment of divine prophecy. Consequently, it was necessary for immortal beings to visit the earth to bring back the gospel in its fulness for the benefit and elevation of mankind, and that the church has again been organized with the same officers that existed in the apostolic age. We also believe in the free agency of mankind, that he has been placed upon this earth to go through the trials and tribulations of life to prepare himself for a higher sphere. And that each individual is responsible for his acts, and will be punished for his sins and not for “Adam's Transgression.” In regard to the book of Mormon, we believe that it is God's hand realings to the people of this American continent, from 600 B. C. until 420 A. D. By taking up history and also the researches of the scientific world we see that the American Continent was once inhabited by an intelligent people. But through the wars and contentions which prevailed, the white people were all slain, and .the result is the red-skins, or the American Indians today. This book also informs us of Christ's visit the American continent after his resurrection, teaching Christianity among these people as he did to the Jews on the eastern hemisphere.
