RANKS Henry Sherman Boutell, Cannon champion, and standpatter of the old republican school, will be an independent candidate for congressman in the Ninth Illinois district, where he was defeated for renomination, and denied an indorsement by the insurgents Thursday. Yesterday Mr. Boutell took the words used by John Paul Jones on a historic occasion and said, "I have just begun to fight." Then he said: "I will run as an independent candidate and I will beat my rivals on the basis of the simple principles of representative government.” I place no reliance in a verdict of the people expressed through a direct plurality primary. In my district less than one-third of the republican voters went to the polls. This is a time in government when we face a crucial condition; when the professional insurgents seek to lead the people to believe that the one way to right wrongs which we recognize are existing is by taking a step in the direction of pure democracy. Pure democracy • always has been a failure. The iniative and referendum, the direct selection of senators by the votes of the people are vagaries. The idea of a hundred million people acting together to legislate upon matters which individually they do not understand is an absurbity. I stand for the principles of representative republican, government as expressed by Washington, Hamilton, and Madison. The only thing which might make me hesitate to run is that I am a party man. I am ready to accede to the wishes of my party where they are honestly expressed. Yesterday they were not honestly expressed. The voters were misled by the statements of paid professional liars. I am going to continue the publication of bulletins. Tn them I propose to tell the truth, and, if necessary, the unpleasant truth."— Fort Wayne Journal. A straightr-out, old-line republican paper declares that ‘‘insurgency will pass as a bad dream” and that “real republicans" should have no part in keeping it alive. And that seems to be the attitude of the Indiana regu-

ident Taft, the national leader of the republican party. • Colonel Nelson of the Kansas City Star (Insurgent) finds great comfort in the republican defeat in Maine. He declares that "hi the absence of a progressive republican ticket Maine did the next best thing and went progressively demodratis." That's the kind of republicanism (?) that makes loyalty to the party a joke, and fully justifies the epithet “Near democrat.” —The Huntington Morning Times (Rep.) The Indianapolis Sun, under Its present ownership, is a red-hot Beveridge organ. And it handles one phase of the war of the factions in this wise: "Every standpat paper in the country is terribly exercised that Roosevelt should call the editor of the New York Post a liar —a good old-fashioned word it is, too. Yet the word liar is the stock in trade of the standpatters. Cannon’s answer to criticism is to call Murdock and LaFollette and Dolliver liars. Aldrich’s only answer to Bristow searching charges was to call Bristow a liar. Ballinger s defense was to call everybody against him liars. Why should the standpatters object to Roosevelt using the word liar? Have they got the word copyrighted?" Where there is a lot of smoke there must be syjne fire. And the bandying of the "shorter and uglier" would indicate that the veracity of some members of both factions is open to question. It would be more seemly, however. if they would call names and fight their fights more privately. “A ROYAL SLAVE.” Oriental Plays All the Rage—At the Opera House September 21st. Mr. Bosse, the energetic manager of the Bosse opera nouse. has secured Clarence Bennett's beautiful Mexican play, “A Royal Slave," for Wednesday evening, September 21st. The author nas solved a story, startling in its intensity, calling into play the strongest emotions human nature possesses. The royal, undying devotion of Agupila to his young mistress, the passionate hate of the Countess Inez de Ora, the sweet confiding love of the gentle Isadora—relieved by the bright, breezy comedy of the American newspaper corespondent and the equally sprightly Annetta with the specialties they introduce —all contribute their share in making "A Royal Slave” one of the most enjoyable of this season’s offerings. —o FOR SALE.

SOCIETY DOINGS “The Twilight Club” Dawned in North Part of the City Last Night. A CHINA SHOWER Given For Miss Emma Mutchler by Friends—- „ Other Socials. *= • ( . ■ ■ The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth The form of things pnknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. —Shakespeare's Mid-Summer Night’s Dream. One of the very prettiest of prenuptial affairs was the china shower given Friday evening at the Ernest Schlickman home on Fourth street by the Misses Matilda Sellemeyer and Emma Scnnckman for Miss Emma Mutchler, whose wedding to the Rev. Edward Worthman will occur September 29th. Though the guests numbered exactly twenty-three, this number was meant in no way to be emblematic of a desire on the part of the bride’s friends to hasten her away—simply to speed her on her way with their best wishes. Pink and white were the decorations of the home, the walls, draperies and chandeliers of the parlor being festooned with strings of hearts in pink and white. The living and dining rooms were festooned with streamers in these colors caught to chandeliers and here and there in an effective way with emblematic white wedding bells. An appropriate little "heart” contest, consisting of questions to be answered with words beginning In "heart" was in order. Mrs. Fred Fruchte winning the prize in this, while in a similar “bell” contest, answered with words ending in “bell,” honors went to Miss Lucy Fruchte. One of the novel features of the entertainment was the mock wedding. Miss Mutchler of course was the bride and Esther Sellemeyer, the dignified groom. Della Sellemeyer, the best man, and Miss Bertha Knapp, the bridesmaid, while Mrs. Chris Vogt officiated as "marrying ’squire.” The esteem of the guests for the honored one was manifest in a most lavish shower of gifts. Os all kinds of beautiful and delicate china which will find an abiding place in the new home. The gifts carefully and daintily wrapped, were placed in a large pink heartshaped box on a table, where they were, one by one, opened by the bride-to-be. Supper was served at the table in the dining room. Here the same lovely and delicate colors of pink and white were carried out. The centerpiece of the table was a bowl of pink carnations, and pink and white candles threw a rose-tinted glow over all. Favors were cunning little pink baskets of pink and white after-din-ner-mints. Assisting the hostesses in serving were the Misses 'Rose and Dora Schlickman and Huldah Bauer. Out-of-town guets were Mrs. N. E. Vitz of Defiance, Ohiq; and Miss Norma Helmstetter of Portland. "The Twilight Club” is the name of a new social band which took material form Friday evening, comprising a group of friendly neighbors in the north part of the city. The organization was effected at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey, with the following members' names on the roster: Mr. and Mrs. Cliffton Haughton, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Schug, Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Meibers. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rice, Frank McConnell and Mrs. Anna Yahne. The official board is as follows: President, Oliver Schug; secretary, Clyde Rice; treasurer, Cliffton Haughton. That good times will be in order is an assured fact if that of Friday evening is any criterion. A great number or games were called forth to enliven the evening, progressive peanuts seeming to be the favorite. The first prize in this was captured by Cliffton Haughton, while President Schug consoled himself with the booby. A general good time, after which refreshments were served, made the evening one of exceedingly great pleasure, and even more firmly established Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey’s reputation as royal entertainers. The club will meet every other Thursday, the next meeting to be held September 29th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rice. Mrs. Florence DeVilbfss went to Monmouth last evening, where she spent the night and this morning in

company with her father, Samuel Kunkel, went to Tocsin, where they attended the Kunkel-Kleinknlght reunion, which is being held in the Tocsin grove. This is an annual event, looked forward to from year to year with much pleasure by all the members of the family. Many from thl city will attend the wedding of Miss Adele Koenemann of St. John's to Mr. Paul Wehrman of Springfield, 111., which will be solemn ized at the St. John’s church tomorrow afternoon by the Rev. Jaus. The Misses Grace and Pearl Purdy, Anna Meyer and Mamie Harting will be entertained at dinner and supper tomorrow by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Reitz pt their home southwest of the city. Mrs. Elizabeth Voglewede will entertain tomorrow at her home on South High street in honor of the Misses Bertha, Rose and Agnes Voglewede and Miss Mayme Terveer. Miss Rose Dunathan left yesterday afternoon for Monroeville, where she will spend the week-end as the guest of Mrs. Melville Clem. STETSON'S “UNCLE TOM’S CABIN” Os all tie great American plays, the old historical drama, “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” has the strongest hold on the people. It is beyond question one of the oest piays ever written, hence the warm place it retains in the hearts of people of every clime. The greatest production that this American classic has ever had will be given at the Bosse opera house on Monday, September 19th, under the management of Leon W. Washburn. Watch for the big street parade. The Bosse opera house will have what will prove a big bidder for pul lie patronage this week, as its attraction is to be Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's great story, “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Although as a result of some cheap productions touring the country this famous play has received ridicule at times still, under capable, conscientious management, as that of the Leon W. Washburn Company, it will ever have the power to make its auditors feel the beauty and pathos of its lines. The Washburn Company, known for years to the public as "Stetson’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin Company," has a larger combination this year than ever, there being two bands, two Topsies, two Marks, fifty men, women and ctnldren, the finest pack of Siberian bloodhounds in the world, a lot of beautiful Shetland ponies, two carloads of magnificent scenery for the stage and besides all this, a grand spectacular street parade with tableau wagons and little carriages all worth the seeing. o FOR SALE.

I HEY ARE COMING All the Big Insurgents in the West Are Coming to Indiana OVER A PROTEST Republican Editors of the State Protest But it Was of No Avail, DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 17 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —Those republican editors of Indiana who have been portesting to Senator Beveridge's state committee that Dolliver, Bristow, Cummins and LaFollette should not be brought into Indiana for the speaking campaign, and who had hoped their protests would prevail, were sadly disappointed. They were counted "out” by the state committee which held a special meeting here yesterday. Cummins, Dolliver, Briatom and LaFollette are coming to Indiana, one or all, as the committee sees fit, regardless of the feelings of the republican editors. Some time ago these editors, nearly twenty in number, met and agreed that Senator Beveridges campaign methods were a little too “insurgent” to suit hundreds of she conservative republicans of the state. More than anything else they deplored the advent into the Indiana campaign of Dolliver and his fellow insurgents. They took the matter up with State Chairman Lee and it was understood, or hoped by them, that the state committee at today’s meeting would adopt a policy in keeping with their desire. They didn't even get consideration, it seems. According to a statement given out after the meeting the committee did not discuss the subject—orders to this effect coming of course from Senator Beveridge who controls the committee. It is understood that the plan to bring Dolliver, Cummins, Bristow and LaFollette into Indiana has already been settled beyond any possibility of change and that if the republican editors don’t like it, they must get along the best they can. Every one of the editors who attended the meeting and took part in the protest, is a man of high standing in his community and has long been identified with the republican party. Each felt that things were going too far in the way of radicalism and that it was I time to call a halt. „ Chairman Lee is quoted as saying after the meeting that the “campaign is going to be progressive,” but that "no one’s toes will be stepped on.” On the other hand the Indianapolis Sun. which is an ardent Beveridge organ, prints a story of the meeting in which the determination of the Beveridge committee to "sit down on” the editors is plainly apparent. The Sun says: “Insurgency, red- ■ blooded, rock-ribbed, dyed-in-the-wool, straight-from-the-shoulder insurgency | —that tells the whole republican plan ’ of attack for the remaining six weeks lof the campaign. All middle of the ' road ideas were completely sidetrack(Continue <von page 4.)
