While the Star Is now being operated by a receiver on account of a quarrel as to who owns it, it is generally known that Dan G. Reid, the Wall street magnate, has been the paper's cnief financial backer. It Is therefore amusing to see in Mr. Reid's paper such things as this: “Does the democratic party of lndi-

ana think It 1b the hero and the beneficiary at the new spirit that la moving upon the American people Then let it give some evidenve that It la for the people and progress Instead of for Its historic errors and the trusts. ’ In campaign after campaign, the democratic party has stood "for the people and progress" and has given abundance of evidence of the fact. Many thousands of republicans are coming over to the democratic way oi thinking and will vote the democratic ticket In preference to supporting either faction of the republican purty. It does not lie In the mouth of the paper so long backed by Dan Reid to talk to democrats about being “for the people and progress." It will have quite enough to do if it can explain Its own attitude. Republican insurgency has attracted considerable attention merely because of its novelty. So far as it is honest it is merely an effort In the direction of the ground which the democratic party has always occupied. FRIENDS TO LABOR Every Indiana Congressman Proved His Claim to the Vote of Workers. MR. GOMPERS TALKS Mr. Kern Has a Great Labor Record and Deserves All the Votes. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The records of the American Federation of Labor, on file in Washington, D. C„ show that every democratic member of the Indiana delegation in congress is regarded as friendly to the cause of labor and that the two republican members of the Indiana delegation are considered unfriendly. This record was announced recently in Indianapolis by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who made a non-partisan speech in Tomlinson hall in behalf of labor candidates. “When 1 learned that 1 was to speak in Indiana," said Mr. Gompers, “F wrote to the bureau maintained by the legislative committee of the American Federation in Washington, and asked for the records of the Indiana congressmen.” Mr. Gompers then read the report made to him by the Washington bureau. The names of Representatives Boehne. Cullop, Cos, Dixon, Moss, Korbly, Adair, Rauch, Cline and Barnhart were given as “right" on all labor questions. They are Indiana s eleven democratic representatives. The names of Congressmen Crumpacker and Barnard were read as “opposed” to organized labor measures. Crumpacker and Barnard are the two republican members of the delegation. “1 do not know the politics of these gentlemen" said Mr. Gompera," and I am not interested in that. It is their records that count.” It is in keeping with the declarations of the democratic party that its Indiana representatives in congress were thus proved by their deeds to have lived up to their promises while the only two men of the thirteen who were tagged as opposed to labor w-ere the two republican members of the delegation. Another desperate effort of the Beveridge press bureau to create sentiment favorable to Senator Beveridge among the workingmen, is evidenced in its false report concerning the election of Everett McGinnis as *!erk of the board of state election commissioners. McGinnis is president of the Central Labor union here, and it is the desire oY the Beveridge press bureau to make workingmen believe that McGinnis owes his election to the republicans rather than the democrats who control the board. A story has been sent out to the effect that Charles O. Roemler, the republican member, came to the aid cf Governor Marshall, when the other democratic member, M. M. Bachelder, opposed McGinnis, who was the governor’s choice. When the board met to organize, Governor Marshall stated that he was ! for McGinnis. Batchelder offered the | name of “Tommy” Right, a union labor man, and Roemler gave A. E. Butler, clerk of the state printing board, as his choice. Mr. Bachelder then said that he would vote with the gov(Contiaae ik» pa«t 4.J

SOCIETY DOINGS Miss Irene Schirmeyer Entertaining at a Week-end House Party. A KITCHEN SHOWER Given by Miss Della Sellemeyer For Miss Emma Mutchler. ' One of the happiest of the many prenuptial events given for Miss Emma Mutchler was the kitchen shower given Friday evening by Miss Della Sellemeyer at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer, on Tenth street. Guests were the members of the choir of the German Reformed church, for which Miss Emha served faithfully as organist for a number of years, and also the members of her Sunday school class, taught by Mr. Fred Sellemeyer. Great bowls and pardiniere of golden rod, that queen of autumn flowers, and the national flower of America, filled the rooms of the Sellemeyer home, adding much to the beauty thereof. One of the unique features of the entertainment was a contest. Cards bearing letters which, when deciphered, formed the names of kitchen utensils, taxed the ingenuity of all, Miss Ellr Mutchler winning the prize, an apple roaster, which she in turn presented to the bride-to-be. The esteem of the friends was showered upon the prospective bride in the very material form of a large number of useful kitchen utensils of all kinds —from the most prosaic skillet to the more poetical and fairy-like egg-beater —ail supposed to charm the appetite of man —the best of whom cannot “live without dining”—according to Meredith. The gifts, which had been packed in a large tub, were hidden away until time for the grand finale of opening, when the prospective bride and groom, Miss Mutchler and Rev. Edward Worthman, were given the pleasant task of bringing in the tub and unwrapping the packages, and reading the cards attached thereto, many of which, in original rhyme, conveyed expressions of the esteem of the donors. Later in the evening, a supper in two courses was served, Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer and Mrs. Fred Heuer assisting in serving. The party included besides the bride and groom, the members of the choir, the Misses Lucy Fruchte, Ella Mutchler, Mrs. Fred Reppert, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Reppert, Mrs. Ben Elzey, Mat Kirsch, Martin Worthman. Peter Kirsch, Della Sellemeyer, and their husbands or wives, and the following members of the Sunday school class: Esther Sellemeyer, Emma Mutchler, Matilda Sellemeyer, Rose Nyffeler, Emma Conrad, Margaret Weidler, Lizzie Knapp, Emma Schlickman. There was a goodly attendance at the meeting of the Christian Ladies’ Aid society yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles Meyers on North Second street. The society made arrangements for holding a rummage sale the third week in October, and also for the serving of coffee and pumpkin pie on Hallowe’en evening. The next meeting will be with Mrs. C. J. Weaver in two weeks. A party given Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carroll was a merry one of the week. The hours passed happily as the guests busied themselves with games, songs and music, after which refreshments were served. Those invited to share the evening’s pleasure were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gerke, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burdg, Mr. and Mrs. Lamberman, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hancher and Mrs. Clark of Portland. Mrs. George Winters hospitably entertained a company of friends at dinner, which was much enjoyed by the follow'ing guests: Mrs. Lon Murphy, Mrs. Henry Meyer, Mrs. Stella Kern, Mrs. James Archbold and daughter, Miss Jennie; Mrs. Ed Ashbaucher and Mrs. Amelia Butler.
