Aley from the democratic state ticket tn order to accept the presidency of the University of Maine, to which he was unanimously elected without solicitation on his part made it necessary for the state committee to name a candidate in his place. Charles A. Greathouse, who was chosen, declares that he will carry out Dr. Aley’s policies in tHe office. Speaking of his successor on the ticket Dr. Aley says: •‘Mr. Greathouse is an excellent student. who made a good record at Indiana University when studying there. As principal of the high school at ML Vernon, and later as superintendent of Posey county, he demonstrated his ability as a schoolman. Added to his scholastic training, he has had excellent businss training, which peculiarly fits him for the place to which he aspires. I consider him highly qualified to assume the duties of this office.” While the people of Indiana will regret to lost such a splendid official as Dr. Aley, they may be congratulated on the fact that they will have in Mr. Greathouse such a capable successor. Rollin Warner, republican candidate for congress in the Eighth district. Now who in the thunder is Rollin Warner The Eighth district resolutions makes this only allusion to Senator Beveridge: “The republicans of the Eighth congressional district rejoice in the leadership of that man whose name is synomyous with victory.”

They say this, too. after everything and everybody else Is paid a gracious compliment. Surely Senator Beveridge is not suffering with too many 1 friends in the Eighth. The Eighth district stands pat. At the Bluffton convention Tuesday the resolutions strongly endorse Taft and I the Payne-Aldrich law. while Senator 1 Beveridge gets his in a very perfunci tory mention. From the tone of the i resolutions one almost wonders wheth- . er President Taft or Senator Beveridge is the candidate in Indiana this i year. Which ever of the two is run- ■' uing it is a cinch that the Indiana senator is getting worsted in the prelim- : I inaries. As a kindly tip to the senator, we advise him to watch the deal, for he is liable to lose even if he wins. • 1 Congressman Adair opened his I : speaking campaign in this county this . week, speaking at l,iuu Grove Monday evening and at Monroe Tuesday even- . ing. He las his speaking campaign . i arranged and which takes him every I day and evening to some part of the i district. There will hardly be a town- . ship in the district that will not see and hear him during the campaign. . The methods adopted in his former . two campaigns will be followed this time, and that means that there will be few if any idle moments until the [ vote is in the ballot box on election i day. Congressman Adair is a atrenus ous campaigner and grows fat under . the strain of arduous campaign work. . Billy BloJgett, the famous Indianap- > olis News writer, al'eady says that . he will be elected by ten thousand . plurality, but Congressman Adair goes the clip just the same. He enters the campaign with the good wishes o’ everybody. The four years in congress has fitted him as he was never fitted before for the important duties that fall to the lot of a congressman, and his return there is the wish of everyone, irrespective of party, and the call comes from men in all the walks of life. He will again be heard in Adams county later in the campaign. Lester Baughman is clerking at the . Baughman store the remainder of the week in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Baughman, who are at Nappanee, assisting the Edington Brothers in the opening of their new racket store.

GET OUT THE VOTE Is the Advice Given the Democrats by Mr. Bryan—Results Are Certain. O’LAUGHLIN’S VIEWS Tribune Man Says Democrats Are Together and Republicans Are Not. £1- • • DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 31 —(Special to Daily Democrat I— ‘ Organize and get out the democratic vote of Indiana." This is the advice of William Jennings Bryan to tne aemocrats of Indiana. Mr. Bryan was in Indianapolis last evening for a few hours and talked with a number of democratic leaders. He is entirely optimistic and sees success ahead for the party. “I find that the democrats are speaking confidently of the result in Indiana.” said Mr. Bryan. “Some of them believe that we are going to re-elect all of the present democratic congressmen and gain the other two districts. And they feel very sure as to Mr. Kern's election. “The most important thing, it seems to me, is to organize every precinct and get out the vote. In an off-year the vote is apt to fall down, and the party which gets the vote out has a distinct advantage. Enthusiasm helps to get the vote out, and enthusiasm is on our side this year. But, that alone will not get it out. The organization must be made as perfect as possible.” Colonel Bryan commented briefly on President Taft’s campaign letter. It is evidence he said that Taft is trying to heal the breach in the republican party without realizing how serious ft is. Also, that the president now proposes a democratic remedy for the tariff. “He proposes to reduce the tariff by means of separate bills instead of a general issue,” said Colonel Bryan. "When the democrats tried to do the same thing in 1892 the republicans ridiculed the plan and called our bills 'pop-gun bills.’ They will speak of them more respectfully in the future, however.”

Passing on the “tariff commission idea.” Colonel Bryan said: — "There is no need of a tariff commission and the only purpose a tariff commission could serve if appointed by the next congress would be to investigate until the next election and gain nothing but a desirable delay.” Colonel Bryan referred to the mistaken idea which prevails in many places that there is at present a tariff commission—recently created. “There is no tariff commission now empowered to investigate the cost of production and any attempt to secure one would delay a settlement of the question. The one way to reduce the tariff is to elect senators and congressmen who are in favor of reducing it. They will not need a commission to help them. Protectionists elected to either house would not pay any attention to a commission's recommendations if by any chance is recommended any reductions." Indiana democrats are pleased to find some of their views of the situation in this state reflected in the Chicago Tribune, a republican newspaper, through the medium of John Callan O'Laughlin. Mr. O'Laugblin is the Tribune's Washington correspondent, a man trained in the field of political observation and analysis. He visited Indianapolis last week, talked with men in all stations and districts —republicans and democrats alike —and one of his conclusions is summed up in his opening paragraph: “Indiana has torn itself loose from the administration upon the tariff. The Aidrich law has not been, is not, and cannot be made popular.” Mr. O’Laughlin finds harmony in the democratic ranks and the greatest of discord among the republicans. He says: “If the democrats in Indiana were holding their usual Kilkenny meet, the disaffection in the grand old party might be without serious consequences from its point of view. But they are not. Never has there been such harmony in their ranks as exists today. Governor Thomas R. Marshall has given the state an excellent administration and thereby has gained many friends for democracy. “Mibreover, the democratic candidates for congress and the county committees are co-operating. In a word, there is manifest a spirit of peace and good will, a disposition to give and take, markedly different from that which has been shown in the past and strikingly nt variance with

the disaffection which prevails among the republicans. •‘lndiana is a low tariff state There should be no doubt on this score, and because they are convinced that the Aldrich law Imposes unreasonably high rates, like those under the Ding ley law, have tremendously Increased the cost of living, and finally, because in their opinion, the new tariff is In the Interest of mergers and price controling trusts, the great majority of the Hoosiers want another revision, revision by a method which will insure adequate regard for the rights and necessities of the people.” Mr. O’Laughlin concludes with the significant observation: “Altogether the republican party seems to be in a bad way.” SOCIETY DOINGS Miss Frances Dugan Attends Bridge Party Given by Miss Ruth Beers.
