" ' CAMPAIGN- OPENING It is announced that the democratic campaign in this state will be formally opened by Governor Marshall in a speech at Indianapolis on Monday, October 3rd. On the Saturday preceding that date John W. Kern will speak at Evansville and Senator Shively at Laporte. From that time on until election day, November Bth. the contest will be waged continuously. There has been already, however, much firing on the picket lines, and this will go on until the pickets and advance guards are swallowed up in the grand sweep of the regular line of battle. The democra'.TC party Is compact and aggressive. And what is more k it is everlastingly right on all the great questions of the day. Its delegation in congress has stood solidly for the interests of the people. Governor Marshall has administered the affairs of the state in such a splendid manner as to win commendation from good citizens of all parties. On all hands the party has shown itself clean and capable and to be thoroughly abreast of the best spirit of the day. The people are awake to their interests and they naturally look to the democratic party for the doing of

The Difference In Clothes It is the easiest thing in the world to buy poor clothes. They prevail to a much greater extent and is easier to make. But when it comes to satisfaction-that is wearing quality, workmanship and style --only the good clothes make a return on your investment and these are the features we claim for the clothes we sell. Visit us at your first opportunity, we will be glad to show you Men’s and Young Men’s suits at $12.00 to $25.00 that contain the best quality fabric and workmanship for that sum of money.

those things which need to be done. No hope lies in any other direction. The republican party is wholly disrupted and discredited. Nothing will give such emphasis to the protest against the mtsgovernment of the republican party as complete and decisive democratic victory throughout the state. So, therefore, when the cam paign is opened it will be opened in earnest. The New York Sun, republican, has made some figures since the Maine election mat are decidedly encouraging to the democrats, It figures that on Nogember Bth the senate, ns well as the house, may be lost to the republicans. The senate now stands 58 republicans to 34 democrats with thirty senators retiring. To gain a major'ty of one in the senate, the Sun figures, the democrats will have to elect thirteen senators. One of these has already been gained in Maine. Assuming that democrats will be elected from states now sending democratic senators to Washington where the remaining twelve are to come from is what the Sun is trying to figure out. The Sun calculates that the democrats have a fighting chance or better of carrying the legislatures of Delaware. Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska and Nevada. This would insure six of the remaining twelve. After eliminating what the Shh concedes as safely republican states it says: "There remains New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and West Virginia. It would be idle to deny that the democratic party in these four states nurses the hope of a landslide that will give it the legislatures and additiohal United States senators.” If this hope should come true the Sun figures they would still be two short. But the unexpected might happen as it did In Maine and prior to a week ago the Sun might nave regarded Maine as safely republican as Pennsylvania.

HAS HAD ENOUGH The Hoosier State Has Had Enough of Theodore Roosevelt. HE IS A BOSS Thinks He is Bigger and I Better Than Any One Else. !» 3 ... L DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 21 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Newport (Ind.) “Hoosier State,” the old republican organ of Vermillion county, has had enough of Theodore Roosevelt. In an editorial the “Hoosier State” says plainly that Roosevelt made “an ass of himself” when he refused to sit at the table with Senator Lorimer at the Hamilton club in Chicago. Attention is called to the fact that Senator Beveridge, former Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon were invited guests and raised no objection to the presence of Senator Lorimer. Who then, is this Roosevelt that he can consider himself better than these other gentlemen, inquires the "Hoosier State.” The editorial, in full, follows: "Theodore Roosevelt, the great African hunter, who made a swing around the circle last week in the interest of a "muck-raking” magazine of New York, to which “muck-raker" .he is a contributing editor, created quite a sensation in Chicago last Thursday, when be refused to dine ' with the Hamilton club if Senator William Lorimer, a member of the club, was present. If Teddy’ wants to consider himself better than Senator Beveridge, former Vice President Fairbanks, Uncle Joe Cannon, and other celebrities, who were there as guests of the club, and not one of whom raised any objections as to other guests, that is his business. But he should have been more mannerly and genteel about it. He could have told the committee quietly that Senator Lorimer was persona non grata to him and that he would prefer that the Chicago Senator have urgent business and be unable to attend. The committee could then have quietly told the senator Roosevelt’s wishes, and the whole affair could have taken place without any sensation or first-page newspaper notoriety. The Hamilton club would have been saved from the shame of telling one of its own members that be could not attend a banquet given by the club. The republican party would have saved another eruption. Roosevelt would have saved himself the criticism Os all the honest journals of the Country, but the muck-rakers — well, let them go to the devil. What right did Roosevelt have to say to the reception committee that one of the club’s members must not attend? The committee was stampeded when Roosevelt bawled out: ’No, I won’t attend the banquet if Lorimer does. No, do not tell him quietly. Send him a telegram and do it at once. I must see the telegram and o. k. it. So must Jimmy Garfield.' What would any one of our readers think if an invited guest to a dinner, at the eleventh hour, would demand that some member of the Host’s family be sent away, or else the guest would not come? Why, the guest would be told to stay away himself. There is not another person in one million who would make such a demand as that, and there are not many clubs who would do as the Hamilton club did. Lorimer, it is true, has been charged with buying his seat in the senate. It has never been proven on him. He denies it. At the very time the former president was making I charges of corruption right and left against Illinois legislators the jury < was considering the case .of Lee . O’Neal Browne, and a few hours after the great African hunter left the city Mr. Browne was acquitted of the charge. Now, honest Injun, what would you do, if you were invited to the editor's home for a dinner and there was an emeny there? Would you raise h—ll about it? Or would ' you, out of respect of the editor’s hos--5 pitality, treat his guest civily. We agree with Roosevelt in denouncing corruption, and if Lorimer is proven guilty, we say give him the limit, but in this country he is presumed to be ) innocent until proven guilty. It seems ) that Roosevelt is trying to override precedent and the constitution again. Let's see. Didn't certain Indianapolis and New York dailies have something to say a few years ago about a certain Panama canal deal? Were those papers not sued for libel? Have they been convicted yet? Couldn't Lorimer with the same propriety refused to have attended the banquet with a man charged with Panama crookedness?

Oh, Teddy, you are too much of a boss. You are too arrogant. You are too much of a dictator. There are several qualities about you that we admire, but you should come down off yous perch and not play for first-page notoriety in the yellow journals. You should not be so anxious to create scenes. You would not have to sacrifice any of your independence. We think you need toe weights. Roose velt stock has dropped several points at this place since the incident.” SOCIETY DOINGS L- * -• Mrs. Robert Blackburn Guest of Honor at Surprise Picnic Supper OF HISTORICAL CLUB At Home of Mrs. Jesse Sutton —Birthday Party for Mr. Limenstall.

Baptist AM—Mrs. David Stolen. The Historical club opened its season’s study at the home of Mrs. Jesse Sutton Tuesday evening with a picnic spread that proved to be a very enjoyable one. The supper was given as a surprise for one of the members, Mrs. Robert Blackburn, who leaves in October for California to spend the winter, and was planned by Mrs. Schrock and Mrs. Sowers. Mrs. Blackburn had been invited to supper at the Sutton home, little dreaming that she was to be the victim, however, delightful the occasion, of the scheming of the club members, and great was her surprise upon arriving there, to find them all assembled with an elaborate picnic supper spread, consisting of fried chicken, delicately browned, with innumerable other good things, tempting to the palate and pleasing to the
