He made the beef trust Come to time with a big campaign contribution. He made the Standard Oil come to time with another big campaign contribution. He made E. H. Harriman, after a personal conference at the white house, come to time with $260,000. These are only a few of the corporations and plutocratic interests Mr. Roosevelt made come to time in the 1904 campaign, when he was a candidate for the presidency to succeed himself. Turn on the light! Augustus Thomas, who is politician as well as playwright, and a democrat of the most pronounced type, is out with a declaration for the nomination of Mayor Gaynor for president upon the democratic ticket. Being a New Yorker, Mr. Thomas’ position is entirely natural, but his estimate of Governor Marshall is also kindly. Os the Indiana executive Mr. Thomas says: “Governor Marshall is getting some public attention through his

Jeffersonsian simplicity. One big issue is the reckless extravagance of the government, and a man of Marshall’s timber is not going to be distasteful to the public. There could be worse tickets than Gaynor and Marshall. It may be that the coming two years in Indiana will give Governor Marshall a chance to have the nation at large get sufficiently acquainted with him.”—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Speaking editorially of the Maine election, the Indianapolis News says: “These results are, of course, far more significant than the election of the democratic candidate for governor, though that Is significant enough. Mr. Plaisted's plurality is 8,500, which is larger than the republican pluralities of e.ther 1906 or 1908. Maine has not had a democratic governor for thirty years. In 1880 the father of the winnef of Monday’s fight was elected by a plurality of 179. which is the largest pulrality—indeed, the only plurality —that the democrats have ever had. Now it amounts to 8,500. Such a revolution as this, involving the governorship, the legislature and the congressional delegation, cannot be attributed to merely local causes. It means clearly that there is the gravest dissatisfaction with the republican party. The democrats have the right to draw great encouragement from the result in Maine. We think it points directly to a democratic house of representatives. If onehalf a republican delegation can be lost in such a state as Maine, and the other half be elected by such scant pluralities, there are bound to be heavy republican losses throughout the country. There is no possible way of accounting for the republican overthrow of Monday except on the theory that the people generally are dissatisfied and sore. Local issues play their part in all elections, as they did in Maine Monday, but the dominant influence is the feeling of the people that things are not going as they ought to go either in the nation or the states. The forces which operated in Maine are operating throughout the nation.

SOCIETY DOINGS China Shower to be Given Friday Evening For Miss Emma Mutchler. 1 A FAREWELL DINNER Given by Mrs. Jane Butler For Mrs. Wash Gilpen —Social Notes. Higher still and higher From the earth thou springest, Like a cloud of fire, The blue deep thou wingest, And singing still doest soar, and sparing ever slngest. —Shelley's Ode to Ekylark. Mrs. Jane Butler and daughter, Ethel, entertained at dinner for her sister, Mrs. Wash Gilpen, before she returned to her home at Cardwell, Mo. Guests were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Beery and daughter, Jeanette; Mr. and Mrs. Homer Lower and children, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Miller, Miss Vada Martin and Mr. Alph Gentis. The annual Barkley reunion to be held in Steele’s park next Wednesday, September 21, will be one of the happy events of this month and many members of the family from various states in the union are looking forward to that day as a home-coming. The Misses Matilda Sellemeyer and Emma Schlickman have issued invitations for a china shower to be given Friday evening at the Schlickman home in compliment to Miss Emma Mutchler, a September bride. Mrs. Amelia Hoagland and children have gone to South Whitley to attend a family reunion. The home of Mrs. Henry Schulte on Fourth street was the scene of much pleasure yesterday, when the Ladles’ Afternoon club came to spend several hours as her guests. The time was spent in playing pedro, which proved to be very interesting for quite a while, after which prizes (Conttnued on page 4.) I

DENOCRATS HAPPY Over the News From Maine —Prominent Men Give Their Opinions. AS TO THE CAUSE They Believe the Majority of the People Favor the Revenue Doctrine. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 14 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Indiana democrats were greatly pleased yesterday with the announcement of the big democratic victory ju Maine —a state wheer the repuoncans have for years had things their own way. With a democratic governorn and with at least two democratic congressmen assured on the race of the early returns, Indiana democrats find their estimate of political conditions confirmed, and their faith in a similar result in Indiana, corespondingly increased. Governor Marsha’l and John W. Kern, democratic nominee for United States senator, are among those who rejoice in the Maine victory. "The democratic victory in Maine means that the confidence of the people in a protective system, as a system, has been shaken,” said Governor Marshall. “It means that the people have awakened to the fact that this system is the source of the vast aggregations of capital and private fortunes in this country. "The insurgent vote discloses that the voter is going to put on the republican ticket, if he can, a man who will help to reduce the amount of protection. It means also that large numbers of these voters will vote the democratic ticket. It means that they are going to take a little relief if they have to, but they are going to take all the relief they can get. It means that they are going to give the democrats a chance on the tariff for revenue. If it is a failure it can be easily changed. "The average wage-earner and man of salary is now so near starvation owing to the high price of living. contributed to by the protective tariff, that so-called ‘starvation’ doesn't scare him any more. He eats beans three times a week now and he is willing to run the risk of being compelled to eat them six days a week if thereby he can stop the rich from growing richer and the poor from growing poorer. "The result in Maine is a rebuke also to extravagance in public affairs. Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Taft said they could cut expenses $300,000,000 each year and not impair the department of the public service, but they failed to do it. The average man does not realize that every two years the general government spends more money than the entire tax duplicates, both real and personal, of the state of Indiana. He fails to remember that if all the corn raised in America were dumped each year into the United States treasury the revenue from it at 50 cents per bushel, would not run the government each year. He is tired of a system which gives back to the manufacturer all the duties paid on raw material when manufactured and sent out of the country (except I per cent) while he himself pays the manufacturer the full tariff on all goods so manufactured and sold in this country. The government authorities tell the people what they have collected, but they do not tell what they have paid back.” Mr. Kern sees also, a return to economy and an earnest desire for tariff reform in the Maine election. “The democratic victory in Maine after twenty-nine years of defeat is highly gratifying to the democrats throughout the country,” said Mr. Kern. "It is especially gratifying because the victory seems so complete and overwhelming. This election, taken in connection with the election in Vermont, and the special congressional elections in Massachusetts and New York, indicates a desire on the part of the people to return to economical government and to the principle that the burden of taxation shall not be greater than the necessities of the government. The battle in Maine was between the democrats and the republican party, and the battle in Indiana is between the same parties. The question in both instances is this: Are the people satisfied with republican administration?”

DAVID COPPERFIELD TONIGHT. Those who yearn for something substantial, as well as new, and who are dissatisfied with the majority of the theatrical attractions bidding for their attention these days, will be sure to go Into raptures over the dramatization of "David Copperfield," which will be given by Edward C. White's special company at the Bosse opera house tonight, September 14th. When the play was presented in New York City last season, it made even the jaded Great White Way sit up and take particular notice, besides earning the respect and hearty support of Dickens’ Study Circles, and other literary societies in and around Gotham. The New York newspaper critics were a unit in characterizing the production of the truest interpretation of Dickens’ masterpiece that has ever come from a playwright’s workshop. The New York production, in accordance with Mr. White's undeviating policy will be given here in all its strength and detail.
