JUST FEEDING THEM THE SAME OLD TAFFY The republican conventions —some I ot them —are putting dollar-a-day pen- • sion planks in their platforms. But i they don’t mean it. If they did mean it. they would have enacted such a law sometime during the past fourteen years. All that time, and at other , times before they have had absolute | control of all the law-making machin- , ery of the government. As a matter , of fact, it appears that all they want i out of the old soldier now is his vote, i Listen to I. P. Watts who asked to be nominated for congress in the Eighth district, but who was turned down: ] “I believe 1 see by the vote of this convention so far, that ft is not necessary for this convention to have the I name of an old soldier on the ticket : any longer. I have been witl} you. I ; have worked with you here, and my I comrades are here to see me nominat- I ed. but they will never see it. On be- j half of my comrades who sit here to- ! day I thank you for the taffy and for , the talk we have had in praising us | for the glory that we have done. We have been a political asset in this country for many years, but we are :oo old to hold office." The republicans have, as Mr. Watts said, used the old soldier as a political asset, but he is no longer useful to them except as a voter. And for dol-lar-a-day pension—if they mean it why haven't they given it a long time ago? Roosevelt declares that he wants a "new nationalism” in which a strong central government shall be the leading feature. He is telling the people, in effect, that the way to preserve their liberties is to give up their local governments and turn the management of about everything over to the government at Washington. As every reader in history knows, liberty lies in local self-government and tyranny and despotism in concentrated power.

And yet Roosevelt asks the people of 1 the United States to Join him in estab- , fishing a sort of Russian autocracy at Washington! He, of course, expects to be the first czar. The Great Northern Indiana fair is now a matter ot history. The vacation days are really over. Schools have opened. Business has opened up and we are again really down to business. The next thing of real interest Is the election, which occurs 1 within sixty days. The campaign in this countv opens next week and from now on until November Sth, we will hear the issues thoroughly discussed. It’s too late to move now without losing your vote, and you certainly don't ' want to do that. The prospects at this , time are for a great democratic victory, the greatest ever. The signs have been that way for a year past, I but eacn day brings some new and stronger one. Get on the band wagon. ■ Assist in rolling up the largest ma- ! jority ever known in this old rock- : ribbed county of democracy of the ’ Jackson and Jefferson flavor.

Ohio, Sept. 10 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Ohio politicians today are speculating as to the condition of Colonel Roosevelt's mind, when he permitted himself to shake hands with George B.

PURDUE AT THE STATE FAIR. | The Purdue University and Experiment station and school of agriculture will again put up an exhibit at the : Indiana State fair to be held Septmber 12th to i«tn. This exhibit will be larger, more attractive and more educative than ever before. The exhibit will be on display in what Is known as the Purdue building southwest ot the new pavilion. All departments of the station and school will be represented. Expert men from the different departments will be in charge ; of the exhibit and will answer questions and give explanations of the different parts of the exhibit. Valuable and recent literature published by the experiment station will be distributed to those who are interested in the contents of these publications. Live stock men, fruit growers, corn and grain growers and dairymen will find capable Purdue men in charge of the different departments. With these they are invited to discuss their problems and obtain information and advice. Each department has made a special effort to make its portion of the exhibit of the greatest value to Indiana farmers. There will be something of special interest end value to school teachers and school officials, as well as to farmers. It is, therefore, certain that no one, whether farmer or school official can afford to miss visiting the Purdue building. County fair officials should come to the Purdue building and see the exhibit, which this year is visiting a number of the county fairs and which will be sent out to other fairs next year. Ladies interested in poultry and dairying should visit the Purdue building and talk with the poultry expert and also while resting witness some of the demonstrations given by | the dairy experts in butter making and milk testing and hear talks on dairy subjects. This exhibit taken as a whole is an outstanding educative feature of the fair and deserves attention and study on the part of everyone who feels that a state fair is not merely for amusement and recreation, j but an occasion which affords an opportunity for the broadening of the i mind by coming in contact with leading agriculturalists and their products,' manufacturers and their machinery 1 and appliances, artists and their products, and other things of the lige nature. Do not omit this building in mak-' ing the rounds at the fair. Do not miss such an opportunity as this to get | something of value in the way of i ideas and impressions to take away from the fair back to the farm homes.

UNUSUAL.INTEREST Is That Being Manifested in the Present Political Campaign. MR. KERN TELLS WHY Split in Republican Ranks and Their Quarrels Grow Worse. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Considering the fact that it is an "off year," the present interest in political issues and the campaign as it is slowly getting under way, is unusual. This is the opinion of John W. Kern, democratic nominee for United States senator. Mr. Kern recently returned from Michigan, where he spent part of the summer, resting and making his campaign plans. On his way home he made an informal speech at Auburn, Ind., and since then he has spoken informally in four cities in different sections of the state. "In my visits to these sections of the state," said Mr. Kern, "I found every one remarkably interested in the political situation. It is rather unusual for the people to be so much interested in an off-year, that is. at a time when there is no presidential election. But, we have an unusual situation and this, perhaps, accounts I for the present conditions. Ever since congress adjourned the tariff debate has continued. It did not end with the passage of the Payne bill. The people then took it up and have not dropped it for one moment since. This has, perhaps, been the chief cause of the interest in political matters, although the extravagance of the billion dollar congress is receiving much attention. "Then the split between the real re- | publicans and the ‘insurgents' has r been another factor, growing of course out of the tariff agitation. The fight on Joseph G. Cannon has been prominent in this warfare and has whetted the public interest. The newspapers have been filled from day to day with the great quarrel that is disturbing I the republican party. The Ballinger, Pinchot, and Garfield controversies have been followed closely, so that political affairs are uppermost in the minds of readers of newspapers. “These conditions have certainly not worked to the detriment of the democratic cause. Everywhere I have found democrats enthusiastic and confident. But they arc not idle. They believe we will win, but they know we must work.” The state board of election commissioners got down to business today after organizing yesterday. Governor Marshall is a member by virtue of his office and was elected president. Each state chairman is entitled to appoint one member of the board. Chairman Jackson appointed M. M. Bacheleder, a Well known Indianapolis attorney, to represent the democrats, and Chairman Lee named Charles O. Reemler of Indianapolis for the republicans. Organized labor was recognized in the organization of the board, the position of clerk going to Everett W. McGinnis, president of the Central Labor union here, and a member of the typographical union. Mr. McGinnis has long been identified with the cause of labor and has been active in various movements looking to the betterment of its conditions. Mr. McGinnis' appointment was through the democratic members of the board, they constituting a majority. The other appointment, that of assistant clerk, went to A. E. Butler, who is clerk of the Bureau of Public Print ing. The board held its seconi meeting this morning and will continue to meet frequently until the work is well under way. Supplies sufficient to meet the estimated need will be ordered at once, as the board is a lit.it late in taking up its work and the members do not wish to take ehanc.. on delays in the future.

A GREAT INCREASE Shown in Enrollment of the Public Schools at End of First Week. THE HIGH SCHOOL Is Uusually Crowded—And There Are Still More to Enter. Superintendent E. E. Rice, superintendent of the city schools, reports that the first week of school was a most successful one, and he is very well pleased with the enrollment, which far surpassed that of the first day. Especially has the high school enrollment shown great increase, the number reporting lor study being now 153, over the 141 of the first day, and there are still others to enter. In spite of the excellent accommodations of the high school building, and the enlargements that have been made from time to time, there is still not enough room, there being twenty-one more students than there are seats, and it takes great skill in managing to take care of them all. However, it is being done, and things are moving I along nicely with bright prospects for an unusually successful school year. — o Democrat Want Ads Pay.
