Entered at the postoflice at Decatur Indiana, as second-class mall matter OFFICIAL PLACE IS PARAMOUNT WITH HIM From a republican standpoint the campaign In Indiana will be Insurgent through and through. All the leaders in that element of the party will circle Indiana through the invitation of Senator Beveridge and by the direction of the state organization. Senator Clapp, the big Minnesota insurgent, is already here, speaking tonight at Lafayette, and will speak in the northern part of the state the balance of the week. Bristow of Kansas, Dolltver of lowa, and all the rest of the big guns in republican insurgency will be heard. The voters of Indiana will have to choose between democracy and insurgency, and the choice should be easy. Insurgency means simply the transfer of the management of the republican party from one set of statesmen to another set of statesmen, and perhaps the changing of a few schedules in our present Payne-Aldrich tariff law. This is the only difference between the insurgent republican and the standpat republican. With all the thundering in the index by ex-Presi-dent Roosevelt about the need of honesty and morality in public life, many of the present abuses be complains of were first introduced during his administration as president. Many of the pretended reforms he now champions were suggested by William J. Bryan during the Roosevelt reign, and the then might president vigorously placed the stamp of trrevelency upon them. Was he honest then and is he honest now'.’ And is Senator Beveridge honest now? In those happy days he stood as the rankest of rank protectionists. He said trusts were a necesary evil in the great progress of this commercial age. He said corporate wealth was needed to properly transact business of this great country. In those good old days he stood

ter would grow green with envy. And now ho claims to have had religion—a political death-Led repentance, as It were. Who believes him? Were he truthful he would say that he simply wants to be returned to the United States senate. In other words the glories of official place is paramount with him. What’s the use of nominating candidates if they are not to be supported at the election? Pinchot wont into Minnesota, campaigning for an insurgent, but also announced thiat if his man was not nominated he would aid the democrats in defeating the candidate at the polls! If this Is "reform'' why did Judas go out and hang himself? Another feature of politics, too, that every decent republican feels like swearing about, is the nomination of alleged republican candidates by democrats. It was done in Wisconsin, where democrats stuffed the ballot boxes at the r< publican primary by voting in dr< for LaFollette. It was done also 5. Minnesota Tuesday, where thoust of democrats were permitted to vote in order to defeat Congressman Tawney. Disclaim it as they may, the insurgents are hand-in-glove with the democratic party, and are disrupting the party for the benefit of the democracy. The "purification of politics" has fallen into the hands of a conscientious gang of party-wreckers whose motives are malice and personal aggrandizement.— Huntington Morning Times (Rep.)

Thursday. Twilight Club —Clyde Rice. Black Rag—Miss Blanche Dibble. Saturday. Thimble Club—Mrs. Fred Patterson. A very pleasant affair was the complete surprise that was carefully planned and executed on last Saturday evening for Mrs. Jonas Fisher in honor of her birthday anniversary. The amusing part of the affair was that a few weeks ago Mrs. Fisher very nicely surprised her husband, and has been having much fun since at his expense, but her many friends w ill now smile at her, for thew knew when she invited them to surprise Jonas that they would return soon in response to invitations that had already been issued by Mr. Fisher, and for one time in her life speech failed her. But after a brave effort she rallied and proved herself a fine hostess. She received many beautiful presents. Like Mrs. Fisher, Mr. Fisher had prepared ice cream and cake. A very pleasant evening was speDt and the friends departed at a late hour after wishing both Mr. and Mrs. Fisher many more such happy events. Those present were as follows: Messrs, and Mesdames Charles Wolfe, i E. A. Mallonee, Sam Butler, Amos | Fisher.

Guy Raudenbush, Bernard Ray, Homer Ellsworth, Fran- | cis Ellsworth, R. A, Answers, Floyd : Baxter, Kenneth Wolfe, Leßoy Wolfe, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and children, j lola,‘ Ireta and Glenn. A very happy birthday surprise l was given for Mr. and Mrs. Albert Knavel, everybody coming with well filled baskets, from which an appetizing supper was served. Instrumental music and singing passed the evening hours. At a late hour they all returned to their homes, with empty baskets, but feeling better in other ways, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Knavel many more happy birthdays. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Bert Close, Mr. and Mrs. Rollie Runnells and children, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Timmer and Lee Sydels, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Beatty and daughter, Sylvia; Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Meyers and son, Ray; Mr. and Mrs. Will Shafer, Mr. and Mrs. John Glecker and son, Ray; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Baker and family.

ening of this week. Invitation* have been issued to a large number of the friends of the members which will admit them to the many happy gatherings during the coming winter months.
