October 12th. Six years ago, on October 14, 1904, when he was president and a candidate for re-election, this same Theodore Roosevelt sent the following letter to E. H. Harriman, the big Wall street railroad manipulator: My Dear Mr. Harriman: “A suggestion has come to me in a roundabout way that you do not think it wise to come to see me In these closing weeks of the campaign, but that you are reluctant to refuse, inasmuch as I have asked you. Now, my dear sir, you and I are practical men and you are on the spot and know conditions better than I do. If you think there is any danger of your visit to me causing trouble, or If you think there is nothing special I should be Informed about, or no matter in which I could give aid, why, of course, give up the visit for the time being, and then a few weeks hence, before I write my message, I shall get you to come down to discuss certain gov ernment maters not connected with the campaign. With great regard, sincerely yours, “THEODORE ROOSEVELT." About ten days after receiving this letter Harriman visited Mr. Roosevelt at the white house and upon returning to New York raised $260,000 in Wall street for the Roosevelt campaign in New York. Harriman afterward declared that this money changed 50,000 votes in the city of Nev.York. Now that Roosevelt is not a candidate for office (just at this time) he says that "we must drive the special interests out of politics.” Does anyone think this man sincere? MEETING TONIGHT I . Democrats of Washington Township and Decatur to Meet Here Tonight. AT HEADQUARTERS Convention to Nominate Justices of the Peace, Constables. Etc. One of the most important meetings of the campaign which is just opening in this county, is that called for tonight, to be held at the democratic headquarters over the Star theater. At this time a mass convention will be held, and the democrats will nominate two justices of the peace, two constables, three members of the township advisory board, and will endorse a candidate for the county council, this later to be done by the county committee or a county convention. While these offices are perhaps not so important as others, it means much to all the citizens of the township that the men who fill these offices are i qualified. Aside from the selection of these candidates there will be speches by prominent local democrats, including an address by Hon. Jacob Butcher of Geneva, candidate for representative from this district. He will speak at Monmouth this evening and will return in time to address ;h. convention here. Be sure to be there, democrats. ■ —o FOR SALE.

SPEAKER PROBLEM Is Worrying the Various Factions of the Republicans Just Now. TO DECIDE FRIDAY Whether Any of the “Old Guard” Will be Allowed to Speak in Indiana. e - DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 15 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —A test of strength between the real republicans and the insurgents In Indiana will come tomorrow when Senator Beveridge’s state committee meets here to decide who will be heard on the Indiana stump this campaign. The real republicans have made it known to Senator Beveridge that it will be highly offensive to them if LaFollette, Bristow, Cummins, Dolliver and other noted insurgents are brought into Indiana to speak for Beveridge. Senator Beveridge’s attitude is foreshadowed in the fact that James E. Watson, Joseph G. Cannon and others of the republican "old guard," have received no invitation to address the voters of Indiana under the auspices of the Beveridge committee. The character of the campaign and the character of the speakers will be discussed and decided at tomorrow’s meeting of the state committee but it is a foregone conclusion that the “old guard" will lose. Senator Beveridge is in absolute control of the state committee from the chairman down, and what he says will be law. The members of the state committee will discuss the situation, and will then decide as Senator Beveridge indicates —which will be that Watson. Cannon, and others of their faith will not be asked to speak—also that Dolliver, Cummins, LaFollette and Bristow shall come into the state. It has come to a show-down between these two contending forces in the republican party and the defeat that is seemingly to be the portion of the regular republicans at tomorrow’s meeting will not, it is conceded, tend to promote harmony. James E. Watson, who is recognized as one of the foremost campaign orators in the republican ranks, was in Indianapolis yesterday and had a half hour's chat with William E. Springer, chairman of the speakers’ bureau. Mr. Springer never once suggested that Mr. Watson reserve any of his time for the Indiana campaign, although it was known that Watson was on his wa yto New York and to Pennsylvania where he is nt id in such esteem that he is to open tiie Pennsylvania campaign for the republicans. On the other hand it is known that the attitude of the regular republicans and their desire that Cummins, LaFollette, Bristow and Dolliver be kept out of Indiana, has been presented to State Chairman Lee. At a recent meeting of republican editors in Indianapolis, this sentiment was voiced. They feel that the presence of these foreign insurgents will be extremely distasteful to the many regular republicans of Indiana and they stated, through a committee, this belief to Chairman Lee. It is understood that he replied that the matter was up to Senator Beveridge. So, in this manner the present issue has been formed. It is the desire, of course, of the Beveridge forces, to have the support of the regular republicans and they would go to any reasonable length to accomplish this end, even nominally. But they do not regard the absence of Cummins, LaFollette, Bristow and Dolliver as reasonable and the chances are that these speakers will be brought into Indiana regardless of the wishes of the regular republicans. . o ILLINOIS PRIMARIES BEING HELD (United Press Service.) Chicago, 111., Sept. 15 —(Special to the Daily Democrat) —With insurgency as the issue in the congressional contests and jack-potting and other irregularities of the legislature as the chief state issues, the Illinois voters are nominating congressional and legislative candidates and minor officers in the state-wide primaries today. Indications are that the vote will be light. o — BAFE MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN Foley's Honey and Tar is a safe and effective medicine for children as it does not contain opiates or harmful drugs.

ANOTHER HIT. Steele & Mayer, the clever comedians at the Crystal theater, scored another big hit with the patrons of this popular amusement house last night. They certainly are the "candy boys," when it comes to entertaining the people, as was evidenced by the number of glad hands they received last evening. Tonight will positively be their last night In Decatur and you ought to waken up and meander round to the Crystal and see « real live, up-to-date show. Two reels of comedy this evening in motion pictures and you're missing something good if you fail to go to the Crystal tonight. . o OPERATED UPON Mrs. August Lengerich Submits to Operation For the Removal of THE MASTOID CELLS Withstood Ordeal Well and it is Now Thought She Will Recover. An operation was performed this morning by Drs. D. D. and C. S. Clark upon Mrs. August Lengerich for a trouble which has been giving her much pain for some time. It was somewhat ot a serious nature, it being for the removal of the mastoid cells behind the left ear, which had become affected so that the operation was necessary. The trouble had been noticed for the last two years, becoming very painful and the cells were swollen to such an extent that something had to be done before it progressed too far. The operation was performed at the home, and although quite painful, she withstood the operaation remarkably well, and it is now" thought that she will soon be entirely free from her trouble. Everything of a n infected nature was removed and cleaned and padded, and there is nothing thought to be in the way that would hinder her recovery. SOCIETY DOINGS Mr. and Mrs. Will Spencer Entertain Clerks of the Fullenkamp Store. AT EVENING PARTY Concord Ladies and Friends Entertained by Mrs. John Christen. No man is born into this world whose work Is not born with him; there is always work And tools to work withal, for those who will; And blessed are the honry hands of toil. —J. R. Lowell. The ladies of the Salem Aid society were entertained this afternoon by Mrs. Oliver Walters in a pleasant way at her home east of the city. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Spencer were delightful entertainers of the clerical force of the Fullenkamp store, with a few other friends. Card playing passed the first part of the evening in a pleasant way, and then came fudge making with a tempting lunch afterwards. Those invited to share the evening’s pleasure were the Misses Ode and Letta Fullenkamp, Tillie and Lollle Melbers, Lydia Miller, Amelia Weber, Messrs. Will Johns, Fred and Herbert Fullenkamp, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ehinger and daughter, Mary. Miss Artie Numbers of Austin, Tex., and her sister, Mrs. Kate Beers, of Fort Wayne were guests yesterday of Mrs. John Niblick.

OBITUARY. Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind’s breath, And stars to set —but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, Death. “Death borders upon our birth and our cradle stands in our grave.” Marion Edgar, son of Homer S. and Rachel Samantha Walters, grandson of Elijah and Esther Walters, and Rudolph and Eliza Venis, was born in Defiance county, Ohio, June 25, 1909, and died September 12, 1910, aged 18 months, and 18 days. The litle darling was suddenly taken. He was slightly ill in the night, ate some breakfast, but as the day advanced, grew worse rapidly. The alarmed parents sent for a physician hastily, but as the disease was the fatal meningitis, ere the doctor arrived little Marion went into convulsions and died. There is a Reaper whose name is Death, And, with his sickle keen. He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. He was one of five children. Bernice C. went home to Jesus over two years ago. Don D., Edna E., Hubert B. and the grief-stricken parents mourn the loss of the precious babe. There is no flock, however watched and tended, But one dead lamb is there! There is no fireside, howso’er defended, But has one vacant chair. The funeral was held in this city Tuesday afternoon at the U. B. church, the Rev. Powell officiating.
