REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ALARMED A leading Indiana republican, over his own signature, says that “the republican candidates on the state tick-1 et have become so alarmed over the I prospects of Beveridge’s insurgent campaign that they have formed a sep- j erate organization independent of the state committee, which is a Beveridge organization, to try to save themselves from the political disaster that Beveridge is marching to." He also asserts that “The more insurgent speeches that are made in Indiana the , larger will be the democratic vote." All es which, of course, is not calculated to encourage the Beveridge organization. This organization is said. by the regulars to be a mere kindergarten affair and that it can not be expected to conduct a campaign on lines likely to win a victory. On the contrary, among the leading regulars (and likewise among many insurgents) there is no real hope of a successful outcome of the present contest. It is being conceded generally that the democratic position in this campaign is impregnable and that it will remain so for many years to come. Not so many years ago the Detroit Free Press was a paper that democrats delighted to lead and to follow. It was a very readable paper, ably and consistently edited. In an evil hour, when commercialism superceded journalistic integrity, a few money-bags put their heads together and bought the bulk of the stock of the corporation that publishes the Free Press. In a mild, cautious, yet clearly discern-

MANY LOCAL ENTRIES. For Fort Wayne Speed Carnival Next Monday, August 29th. At least a dozen cars will compete in the speed carnival to be held at the tair grounds at Fort Wayne next Monday afternoon. The first local car entered was a 1911 Cadillac by the Roussey Auto Co. This car will compete in events tor its class; a three-mile . and five-mile race. Mr. Bell, representing yie Buick Motor Car agency, i has entered a Model 10 In the events for small cars, a Model 19, which will compete with such cars as the Mitch- ' ell and Cole, and a Model 17 in the events for cars costing SI6OO to $2,000. Mr. Randall expects to enter a fourcylinder National, a thirty-horse power Chalmers and a Mitchell. The Ohnhous Motor Car Co. is figuring on entering a Cole and Ford and one or two Auburas are sure to be ready for the events next Monday. Os course the stellar attraction of the meet will be the appearance of the speed king. Barney Oldfield, and I his world’s record car. It will be re- • membered that Barney visited Fort Wayne several years ago. In those days it was considered remarkable to drive a mile on a dirt track in a minute. The track record established here last year by a National is 56 seconds; as Oldfield has not driven a mile this year slower than 52 seconds, it can readily soon that sensational time should result. Ben Kerscher. the “Flying Dutchman.” who drives the 100 horse power Vanderbilt Cup Winning Darracq, and which holds several world's records, will at all be able to make the speed king hustle as he has repeatedly driven his speed, creation on a mile track in 50 seconds. Oldfield’s six-cylinder Knox “Giant” must not be overlooked. This car is the fastest stock car in America and is faster today than the so-called racing cars of two or three years ago. The addition of several more local entries to the already large list of firstclass cars should result in one of the greatest speed carnivals ever given in this section of the state. Entries close Saturday night with Walter Hempel at the Hotel Anthony.

ALEY’S SUCCESSOR Charles A. Greathouse of Indianapolis Selected by the Committee. IS WELL QUALIFIED Aley's Promotion is Considered a High Compliment to the State. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 26—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Charles A. Greathouse of Indianapolis was chosen yesterday by the democratic state committee to fill the vacancy on the democratic state ticket occasioned by the resignation of Robert J. Aley, the party's nominee for state superintendent of public instruction. Mr. Aley now holds this office and has resigned as a candidate for re-election to accept the presidency of the University of Maine at Portland. Mr. Greathouse, because of his high educational and business qualifications was the choice of a majority of the committee. He was nominated for this office by the democratic party in 1894. His entire life, with the exception of the last three or four years, has been devoted to educational work and he is regarded as eminently equipped to take up the work begun in Indiana by Dr. Aley. The state committee in accepting Dr. Aley's resignation expressed regret that his action was necessary, paid him a compliment as a gentleman and educator, and warmly endorsed his administration of the office of state superintendent. The resignation, which was sent to U. S. Jackson .state chairman, yesterday morning, is as follows: “Dear Mr. Jackson: • “Some time ago. without any solicitation on my part, I was asked by the Hon. E. B. Winslow, president of the board of trustees of the University of Maine, to visit the board for a conference. I met the board in Portland. Maine. Saturday afternoon. August 20th. This meeting resulted in my election as president of the University of Maine.” “The University of Maine is a strong anr liberally supported school. It is a great honor to be called to the presidency of such an institution. As my entire life has been given to the cause of education, and as my whole heart is In this work. I feel that an opportunity like this must not be allowed to. pass. I have therefore this day notified the proper Maine authorities of my acceptance. “This action makes it necessary that I ask you to remove my name from the democratic state ticket and take proper steps to place the name of another in my place. “I desire to express to the members of the state committee and to the democratic party my very high appreciation of the honors conferred upon me by three cuccessive democratic state conventions. My experiences as a candidate have been pleasant indeed. The many friendships formed will ever be cherished among my choicest possessions. “With sincere good wishes, I am “Very truly yours, "ROBERT J. AUfiY." The various members of the state committee expressed regret personally that Dr. Aley was compelled to resign, but they were not insensible to the compliment paid the democratic party and the people of Indiana in the election of Dr. Aley-to the presidency of the University of Maine. “It has come to pass,” said M. F. Griffith of Vevay, “that the east is sending to Indiana for its educators. Dr. Aley is a fine example of what the west has to offer. Instead of going to Boston and New York for educators, Boston and New York now come to us. It is a high compliment to Dr. Aley and to our people.” The members of the committee also expressed deep satisfaction in the choice of Mr. Greathouse. The names of T. F. Fitzgibbon of Columbus, S. L. Scott of Jeffersonville, and J. Walter Dunn, of the Indiana Reading Circle board, were presented and considered Mr. Scott spoke briefly to the committee in his own behalf and W. H. Everroad spoke for Mr. Fitzgibbon. Mr. Greathouse is forty years old and is a man of pleasing personality. Most of his life has been epent in Posey county, but for two years he has been a Yesident of Indianapolis, living at 3174 Pennsylvania street. He is married and has two children. He graduated from the high school of Mt. Vernon and afterwards attended Indiana University. Subsequently he taught in country and grade schools and was afterward principal of the high school at Mt. Vernon. He was

1 then elected county superintendent of 1 Posey county and held that office from j 1895 to 1905, when be resigned , Mr. Greathouse was one of the or- I ganlzers and was the president of the People’s Bank & Trust company ] at Mt. Vernon, having held the presidency until about sixty days ago. i when he resigned for the second time. After moving to IndianaptHs two years ago he continued to discharge the du- I ties of president but on the first of last j January he offered his resignation, in | the face of this he was re-elected by j the board of directors. He was forced | to resign again. Mr. Greathouse is a member of the | Knights of Pythias, the Elks, and is I a Knight Templar, a member of the ■ Scottish Rite Masons and a thirty-sec | ond degree Mason. j After his election, which was made j unanimous, he was notified and ap- | peared before the state committee, • jle expressed his thanks and apprecia- j tion for the honor which came to him j unsought, and in accepting declared , that he would work not only for his j own success, but for that of the entire i state ticket as well. I SOCIETY DOINGS i Mrs. James Haefling Enter- i tains Fifty Ladies in Hon- i or of Guest. AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL i Miscellaenous Shower Given , This Afternoon For Miss Mutchler. One of the most pleasant events that has taken place in social affairs for some time was the surprise on one of their comrades given by the members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. and their famiiles. The party boarded the 7 o’clock interurban car Thursday evening and went to the home of L. N. Grandstaff near Monmouth. When they arrived at their destination Mr. Grandsiaff was at the home cf his son, about two and one-half miles away, working. Some one went after him in an automobile, telling him he was wanted at home. The father was unable to figure the problem, and had to wait until he arrived home to see for himself. While going through the house bis many friends rushes upon him, and he soon realized what they were up to. He was very much surprised. A sumptuous supper had been , prepared for the occasion. After an evening most pleasantly spent the guests departed for their homes in this city. The crowd numbered thirtytwo, or as the common saying, thirtyone and more. Mrs. Otto Kirsch gave a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Emma ; Mutchler, a bride of next month, at her home on North Third street this afternoon. About twenty-five lady ■ friends were present. The home was artistically decorated with yellow and white ribbons and flowers. Handsome place cards were given each guest, a • little bell being fastened on each card with yellow ribbon, and also a beautiful little basket filled with candy. The afternoon was spent in solving the mysteries of the two contests, a floral wedding contest and a sewing contest, and in having a general good time. The bride-to-be received many • beautiful presents. A delicious lunchi eon was served and all expressed their ' best wishes for the future of Miss Mutchler. Mrs. James Haefling entertained fifty lady .*nds in honor of Mrs. i Theodore Ui-oppleman, Mrs. Julius Spies and Mrs. W. R. Presnall at her ■ home on Fourth street Thursday. A : very sociable time was had. The afternoon was spent in playing pedro and i other amusements. Those who succeeded in capturing the prizes were Mrs. C. S. Clark, Mrs P.J. Hyland and Miss Carrie Ehinger, while Mrs. Schaub secured the booby prize. An excellent two-course luncheon was served. The ice cream social which was to have been given last evening by the Dorcas Daughters of the German Reformed church, was postponed owing to the inc'emency of the weather and will therefore be held on Saturday evening. It will be held in the Hoagland hall, at Hoagland, and everything is iri readiness. Quite a number from here will attend and the members are expecting to entertain a large crowd. Miss Carrie Ehler entertained for Moss Alice Wall of Chicago last evening. The party attended the Guy Stock company show, awter which they (Continue doo page 4.)
