Rep. So it was a famous victory for Theodore Roy-- Wit personally, in I that he got the Job wnich he sought,, but a shameful defeat for the cause of reform. Let it not be forgotten that Mr. Roosevelt was the absolute master oi the New York republican convention. He was its temporary chairman. He and his friends refused to allow the districts, as represented in the convention, to choose their members of the resolutions committee. as had been the invariable custom. The choice was made by Mr. Roosevelt, the temporary chairman. This utterly revolutionary plan was adopted because the Roosevelt people ' “lacked the necessary votes to con-| trol the committee on platform. ’ 'So Roosevelt made it himself, and hence | he controlled it. It was a Roosevelt committee. The convention was Mr. Roosevelt's convention, the platform committee was his committee, and consequently the platform is his platform. He dominated the situation pre-; cisely as he dominated the national convention two years ago. which adopted a tariff plank which meant I one thing in the east and another in the. west, and which is today appealed to by the standpatters as justification for the Payne tariff. —Indianapolis News.

diana democrats. All it takes this year to win an overwhelming victory is for the democrats to vote the democratic ticket. There is less reason for them not voting their party ticket than perhaps ever before. The issues before the people and the trend of political sentiment is toward the democrats, and now but little more than five weeks before the election, there is little doubt of victory and this fact Is sufficient to warrant every democrat remaining faithful and true to their party and the principles it has so courageously defended.

M J M — A Happy Thought That has made some hearts sing: 1 have, like other people, 1 suppose, made many resolutions that 1 have broken or only halt kept; but the one which I send you, and which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the keynote of my life. It is this—always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost to the beginning: I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to "blossom, like Aaron’s rod, with flowers.” —Helen Keller. Saturday. Thimble Club —Mrs. Fred PatterCLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. son.

Mrs. Clem was formerly Miss Mary Miller of this city, having been one of the Euterpean club members for several years.

Progressive crokinole provided amusement, the first prize being won by John Bailey, and the booby by Mrs. John Bailey. Another contest was an interesting one.

IT OPENS TONIGHT Kern and Shively Open the Democratic Campaign Tonight. FIREWORKS BEGIN Colonel Bryan, S. M. Ralston and the Other Big Ones Will Speak. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU, 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., October I—The1 —The voice of democracy will be raised in Indiana tonight, John W. Kern, democrqfic nominee for United States senator and Senator Shively making the first formal speeches of the campaign at Evansville and Laporte. Great preparations have been made for each each of these meetings, and judging by the enthusiasm already manifest, each speaker will face a splendid audience. Mr. Kern is popular in southern Indiana, as he is in all parts oi the state, and his Evansville speech Is eagerly anticipated. Senator Shively is known as a brilliant and eloquent speaker and an expert in tariff matters, which form one of the big issues of the day. His speech at Laporte is bound to attiact a iarge crowd. With the formal opening of the democratic campaign this evening, the last and final stage of the battle begins. Governor is the next leader to enter the arena, his first speech having been arranged for Tomlinson Hall, here next Monday evening. October 3rd. Governor Marshall's popularity with the people of Indiana assures him an audience that will tax the capacity of Tomlinson hall. Democrats and republicans alike have high regard for the state's chief executive and word has been sent that there will be large delegations from surrounding cities on the night of his first speech.. Another of the big figures in the field of democratic oratory is Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, who is always in demand. Mr. Ralston will give as much of his time as is possible to the democratic campaign and can be counted on to present the issues in a forceful and entertaining as well as a convincing manner. His first speech will be at Nashville on the afternon of October 15th. That evening he will return to Lebanon, where Col. W. J. Bryan speaks in the evening. Mr. Ralston speaks at Cambridge City at night; October 19th, Knightstown, night, and at Lynn, October 20th, at night. Colonel Bryan has given one more day of his time to the Indiana campaign. This announcement was made yesterday by Bert Hendren of the speakers’ bureau. Instead of entering the state and speaking first on October 15th. Colonel Bryan will come on October 14th, speaking that afternoon at Auburn, and in the evening at Columbia City, Governor Marshall’s old home. From reports made by members of the democratic state central committee and the candidates on the state ticket, who met here this week, there are further evidences that Indiana is going to be in the democratic column this year. At the meeting of the state committee each district chairman made a report to Chairm: r. Jackson, taking up in detail the situation in his district, county by county. There was no glossing over of trouble or discussion where any existed. Local trouble were reported in two or three counties, such as in Monroe and Lawrence, where there is a controversy over the office of prosecutor. But these difficulties, in the opinion of the chairman concerned, while regrettable, are purely local, and will doubtless be adjusted before election. Tn any event they will not affect the state, legislative or congressional tickets. The reports made by the state candidates were along the same lines. Nearly all of the candidates have traveled extensively over the state and neither in their meeting nor In that of the state committee, was anyone able to report any democrats who were for any reason inclined to support the republican ticket. “The democrats are in line for their ticket and they will stay there,” was the general opinion.

MS/ I i i I rsM I The Wedding of the Gas Range and the Kitchen Heater took place in Mrs. Jones’ Kitchen last Wednesday. They were joined together by one ot our _ most populai gas fitters Mr. Bill Smith. Mr. Bill Smith will officiate at no less than 200 similar weddings scheduled for October You should plan for such a wedding in your household. The marriage of your range to a useful little kitchen haster would free you from the expense, the worry, the work and the annoyance that go with coal, ashes and soot. It would enable you to enjoy the pleasure of cooking all winter on a gas range in a warm, cozy kitchen. Strange as it may seem this little heater will furnish all the heat your kitchen requires with no fuel other than the rubbish and garbage usually carried out to the alley. Os course it will do its work with an insignificant supply of wood, coke or coal, but no matter what the fuel, it will easily heat the largest kitchen in the coldest weather and hold a coal fire all night. Such an exceptionally useful kitchen appliance is certainly a most welcome invention-one that is selling fast. You can see and order them at the gas office. The Indiana Lighting Company
