ABOUT ELECTION FRAUDS The attack made by that staunch insurgent paper, the Indianapolis Sun, upon the election frauds perpetrated in Indiana two years ago in the interest of the republican state and national tickets caused a great flutter among the politicians responsible for them. It was made plain by the Sun that the defeat of most of the democratic state ticket was due to these frauds, but the fact was just as well known at the time they occurred. The thing to do now is to see that they are not repeated next November. If the republican senate had joined the democratic house in passing what the republican papers called the "Marshall bill” frauds of the kind that disgraced Lake county—and to some extent other counties—two years ago would be impossible. But the senate would not pass the bill. It is the duty of all good citizens to join the democratic organization in its effort not only to prevent but to stamp out election crime. And if a few interested politicians get into the penitentiary, | the fact may have a tendency to clear the political amosphere for a good many years, if not for all time. Neither lying nor misrepresentation made by a tariff reformer serves as a boomerang and weakens the cause to some extent. Misrepresentation and exaggeration are reprehensible. They can serve no good purpase WritTHE MYERSDAILEY CO. >■< T n our showing of I Fall Shirts we’ve Gray—and-White and Black-and-White effects and quiet self-toned fancy effects -Plaited and Negligee style.

IS HUMILIATING The Defeat of Ex President Roosevelt is Unparalleled in History. THE STRENUOUS LIFE Seems Still to be a Part of the Colonel’s Make-up— Ugly Mix-up. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. • 325 Pytnian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 19 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —"The spectacle presented by Col. Theodore Roosevelt in New York is a sad one to the people of the United States,” said IT. S. Jackson, democratic state chairman, yesterday. "It is one to be regarded with regret by all men, regardless of party. Colonel Roosevelt has been given the highest honor within the gift of the people of this country and it is too bad that, with the memories and associations and dignity of that high office still clinging to him, he has so far forgotten himself as to descend to petty political quarrels in his own state. "The people of this country have grown to expect other things of their living ex-presidents. They have had notable examples of the proper deportment for a man who has been thus honored and subsequently retired to private life. We remember Benjamin Harrison of Indiana. It is difficult to Imagine him in Colonel Roosevelt's undignified position. He lived out the rest of his days in dignity compatible with that which sat upon him in the president's chair. Grover Cleveland is another. Could you imagine him so far forgetting himself as to fight and quarrel with the politicians of his own state for the honor of being temporary chairman of a state convention? "Go back through the list of presi-

dents and try to picture any one of them so forgetful of the honor which is his by the gift of the nation—so lacking in the sense of propriety or so filled with egotistic assurance as to risk the humiliation that has come to Theodore Roosevelt, our only living ex-president. “I notice in a newspaper account of Colonel Roosevelt’s humiliation the expression ‘licked to a frazzle.’ It is an expression applied by Colonel Roosevelt while president to those who were overcome by him in his many activities. Now the expression is turned back upon him and is used to indicate what has happened to him. At one sweep the “old guard" in the republican party in New York state has eliminated Colonel Rposevelt as a political factor there. He is discredited in his own state. And the stake was a temporary chairmanship of a convention. Think of it! For this prize he risked his political standing and dragged through the dust of petty politics the glamour of the presidency which w’as still his. It is not a pleasant spectacle, nor one that will meet with the approval of the. people who trusted and honored him. "It it with these charges of broken faith from his friends, and discredited in his own state, that Colonel Roosevelt is coming to Indiana in October to tell the people of this state how to vote and how to conduct themselves with propriety. The Lord is sometimes on our side and it would seem that He is with us now.” Chairman Jackson took occasion to contradict a statement attriouted to Samuel Gompers, which appeared in the Indianapolis Sun. Mr. Gompers, who is president of the American Federation of labor, was quoted as indorsing Senator Beveridge by saying that he was one of the most progressive men in congress. \Vhat Mr. Gompers did say was that Mr. Beveridge is one of the most progressive republicans in congress. The word republican was omitted by the Sun and it changes the color of the statement altogether. Mr. Gompers had a conference with Chairman Jackson and Myron D. King, secretary of the state committee, and informed them that he would make several speeches in Indiana this fall. He is especitlly interested in labor candidates and •wjl! devote himself to their interests, fie will not speak under the auspices of any political party. Chairman Jackson is in Plymouth today to attend an organization meeting in the Thirteenth district. It is one of the series of disrict meetings which are being held all over the state. Peter Kruyer, chairman of the district, will preside. A meeting will be held in the Fifth district today also, being called by Chairman Peter Foley. This meeting was to have been held August 16th, but was postponed. As Chairman Jackson has already arrang-

ed to go to Plymouth he will not be able to attend the Filth district meeting. Charles Murphy, chairman of the Tenth district, has called a meeting at Gary for tomorrow. Chairman Jackson will attend. MISSION FESTIVAL Will be Observed at Magley and Preble Churches Sunday. SPECIAL SERVICES Notable Speakers Will Make Addresses —Big Crowds to Attend. Next Sunday at the German Reformed church of Magley ami the St. Paul Lutheran church at Preble special services will be observed and what j known as the Mission Festival will be celebrated. At Magley services will be held both in the morning and evening, and will be very appropriate. The Rev. Frank Grether, professor m the Franklin college at Franklin, Wis., has been engaged to deliver a sermon at both services. He is an able speaker and man of wide learning, and has been connected with this college for some time. He has been at Cleveland, where he attended a meeting and is on his way home, but, owing to the invitation received, will remain here over Sunday. He is a brother of Rev. George Grether, who filled the office of pastor of the German Reformed church here before the arrival of the present pastor, Rev. Hessert. He will be asisted at Magley by the pastor, Rev. Snyder, and Rev. Hessert of this city. The St. Paul’s Lutheran church of Preble will also observe Mission Day, services being held both morning and evening. Rev. Dornsief of the Fuelling settlement will make an address, and also a clergyman from Cleveland, Ohio. A special collection will be taken at this time, which will go to home and foreign missions, and a good sum is always realized.

NINE-FOOT STAGE BOOMS BUSINESS Packet Companies Add Boats to Ohio River Hoes. Cincinnati, O. —(Special.)— Although the greater portion of the improvements in the Ohio river authorized by congress for the creation of a nine-foot stage of water tho year round has not yet been begun, the anticipated benefits of this tremendous undertaking, calling for an outlay of approximately $60,000,000, are already being taken advantage of. The Louisville and Cincinnati Packet Company, which operates a line of boats between Cincinnati and Louisville, and also has subsidiary lines, has added to the scope of its operations by purchasing two additional boats, which will be placed in service between Lousville and Evansville, thereby giving continuous daily service under one management from Cincinnati and way points to Evansville. The officials of the company are free in saying that this amplification of their operations is due directly to the anticipated revival and the greatly increased volume of river traffic which is certain to result from the improvements now being made and authorized. Another earnest of this anticipated boom in river traffic is found in the diligence which various Ohio river communities are showing in ’.he Ohio Valley Exposition, which will be held In Cincinnati from August 29 to September 24, and which is designed principally to exploit the Industries and products of the Ohio Valley and the South. Portsmouth, 0., for Instance. has secured 2,000 square feet of exhibition space at the Exposition for the display of her industries. Speaking of the benefits of a perpetual navigable stage of the Ohio, Hon. Albert Bettinger, vice president of the Ohio River Improvement Association. said: "With uninterupted navigation the year round, the Ohio ♦alley, from Pittsburg to Cairo, eventually will resolve itself Into one continuous line of factories. When these improvements are completed and the Panama canal opened, the manufacturers of the Ohio Valley will be able to compete with foreign nations for the business of any section of the world.”
