The recent statement concerning the beauties of the new tariff law, lately given out at Washington, does not seem greatly to have impressed the country. The papers were quick to see that, after deducting the 128,000,000 derived from the corporation tax, the 2120,000,000 resulting from improved business methods in the custom houses, and making allowance for the imports rushed in in advance of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaties. we should have had had a considerable deficit. The purpose evidently was to make the people believe that it was the tariff that was working so well. There has been an increase in revenue derived from customs, it is true, but it is not considerable, and of late has been shrinking. The journal of Commerce says that "such a shuffling statement as was put out in the absence of the secretary of the treasury, and it is to be hoped without his knowledge, is a discredit to the administration." It is not meant to serve as an official statement, but as a campaign document. —Indianapolis News. NOTICE.

: IN ANOTHER MONTH i • The Indiana Campaign Will be on—Will Open About September 15 th. I ’SPEAKERS PLENTIFUL I I J Mr. Bryan May Spend a Week in State—Many Others Coming. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. . Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 16—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The speakers' bureau was opened yesterday at democratic state headquarters, with Bert Hendron of Linton in charge. With the Inauguration of this work every department of campaign activity is now in full blast. In the last three weeks there have been countless inquiries from over the state concerning speakers, and many men of eloquence and ability in the democratic ranks have already written to Mr. Hedron voluuteering their service in the campaign. Thus the work of the speakers’ bureau demanded immediate attention and Mer. Hendron was called ip to assume bls duties. » y * TEe speaking Campaign among the democrats will open between September 15th and 20th. It has not been decided when or where, or who will fire the first gun. There will be no lack of oratorical material, however, and the people of Indiana are assured that the issues will be presented from the democratic standpoint in an able and thorough manner. Notable in the list of speakers already assured is William Jennings Bryan, who has accepted an invita tion to speak in Indiana. His ecceptance was received by Chairman Jackson and Mr. Hendren, who had a long talk with him at Rushville. Mr. Bryan has promised to give three days of his time to the Indiana campaign and is endeavoring to make it a week instead. He will speak during October, the dates, of course, not having been set. These will be determined when Mr. Bryan decides whether he can spend a week here. Mr. Bryan is anxious for the success of democracy in Indiana and is especially desirous of helping Joun W. Kern in his race for the United States senate. Mr. Bryan will discuss only national issues in his speeches and will pay especial attention to the tariff commission, which he declares is a republican subterfuge. Among the other outside speakers will be Champ Clark. Senator Gore, John Sharpe Williams, Judge M. V. Gannon of Chicago, Samuel Gompers and General James B. Weaver of lowa. Many others will be added. Nearly every Indiana congressman has the promise of one or more senators and congressmen to come into Indiana during the campaign and one of Mr. Hendron's first duties will be to ascertain just when these speakers will be available. The congressional committee has also promised speakers. The democrats are fortunate in having so many able speakers on their state ticket. Every nominee is regarded as a good campaigner and able to present the issues on the stump. This material will be used to great advantage. Mr. Kern. Governor Marshall and Senator Shively are regarded as sources of great strength in the speaking campaign. Because of their positions their utterances will carry un-

I usual weight and Interest In their speeches is expected to be intense They are counted upon to draw big crowds wherever they spciik. It is believed that Robert J. Aley, ' state superintendent of public instruction, will be a big drawing card. He has the distinction of being the only democrat on the state ticket who is seeking re-election. Mr, Aley s splendid record in offieg and the money he has saved to the people of Indiana ' will undoubtedly make him popular. Others on the state ticket who are expected to give strength to the I speaking campaign are Lew Eilingham of Decatur, candidate for secretary of state; William H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg, for auditor; William H. Vollmer of Vincennes, for treasurer; J. Fred France, Huntington, for clerk of the supreme court; Thomas H. Honan of Seymour, for attorney general; Thomas Brolley of North Vernon, for state statistician; Edward Barrett of Plainfield. • for geologist; Douglas Morris of Rush- . vllle, for judge of the supreme court, second district; Charles E. Cox of Indianapolis, for judge of the supreme court, third district; Joseph Ibach of Hammond. M. B. Lairy, Logansport, and Andrew Adams. Columbia City, judges of the appellate court, northern district, and M. B. Hottell, Salem, and E. W. Felt, Grenfield, for judges of the appellate court, southern district. The popularity of Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon, will make him much in demand during the campaign. Mr. Ralston is personally pleasing to his audiences and he is a convincing speaker. The same is true of the following who are expected to lend valuable assistance on the stump: John E. Lamb of Terre Haute; Major Menzies of Mt. Vernon; Lieut. Governor Frank J. Hall. Dan W. Simms, of Lafayette; James M. Robinson, former congressman, of Fort Wayne: L. Ert Slack. Franklin; the Rev. T. H. Kuhn, Richmond; M. E. Foley, Indianapolis; John W. Holtzman. Indianapolis; Walter Lotz, Hammond; R. W. Miers. former congressman, of Bloomington; Col. C. C. Matson, Greencastle; Frank Hering. South Bend; Alvin Padgett, Washington: Jack Nolan. Evansville; M. A. Ryan, Indiana;>olis: Claude Bowers. Terre Haute; Ephraim Inman, Indianapolis; Cyrus E. Davis, Bloomfield; John W. Spencer, Evansville: Charles D. Hunt, Sullivan; W. H. Eichhorn, Bluffton: John A. Riddle, Linton; Judge Joseph H. Shea, Seymour; John C. Robinson. Spencer; Col. Charles Jewett, NewAlbany; Judge Kent. Frankfort. The German voter will not be neglected, arrangements having been made for speches in German by Louis Meyer of Vincennes and Francis Reinhard of Rockport. In addition to Samuel Gompers there will be many other labor speakers and naturally there will be dozens of other speakers added 'o those already named. The list is. of course, incomplete and will be largely (Continued nn page 4.) ROOSEVELTBEATEN Vice President Sherman is Chosen Over Him as the Convention Chairman.
