I want ► to know more about her. If Senator » Beveridge is really in earnest about * ner welfare he should have voted for 'aws that would get her brtter prices for her chickens and let tier have , mote money for the products of her

• farm. He ought to havo voted to re- ’ duce the taxes on everyth'ng she wears and eats and uses in her vine- , covered cottage.” , “The democratic party has been in power for fourteen years,” exclaimed , Mr. Bryan. “No, my friends, not in ■ office, but It has had the power to ’ drive the republican party into the reforms that Roosevelt and Beveridge are advocating. 1 would rather be In , the party out of power that leads the 1 party in power than in the party that ’ is in power and is led by the party ’ out of power. The democratic party ' for years has been fighting in the , open and winning victories for the 1 people, and no nihil in Indiana has ' done hloi-e for these victories than John W. Kern. ’ Mr. Bryan at different points de- , dared that every reform Senator Beveridge is now so lustily advocating ’ has been fought for by John W. Kern ’ for twenty years; that Mr. Kern is a veteran in the cause of tariff reform, while Beveridge is a raw recruit. CAMPAIGNING WITH MR. BRYAN Mr. Bryan was greeted by big crowds both at Bloomfield and Washington. He left Evansville at 9 o’clock, accompanied by Dr. T. D. Scales of Boonville, Representative Boehne, Former Representative Arthur H. Taylor, Representative J. C. Floyd of the Third Arkansas district, and those two vigorous Indiana candidates. Lew Ellingham of Decatur, democratic nominee for secretary of state, and J. Fred France of Huntington, candidate for clerk of the supreme court. Just as a matter of information for the benefit of other candidates, Messrs. Ellingham and France are not letting any grass grow under their feet when it comes to getting votes. These two “wise men” realize at the beginning that wherever Mr. Bryan goes he brings together party workers and leaders from the surrounding country and so the two candidates seized the opportunity to do some I handshaking over the state. Both Mr. Ellingham and Mrs. France are highly pleased with the result of their experiment so far. Mr. Ellingham also ■ is deeply impressed over the good re- j suits that he feels will accrue to his ' party from Mr. Bryan’s tour. “I have heard Mr. Bryan in several campaigns,” said Mr. Ellingham. “but I consider his present political message the strongest and most important that he has ever delivered in the state. Ido not agree at all with those who opposed Mr. Bryan's coming into Indiana. I consider he is doing the I party great good.”—Staff Correspondent, Indianapolis Star. A splendid Christian gentleman, a scholar and every inch a man. is John Worth Kern, democratic nominee for the United States senate, and for whom Jacob Butcher stands pledged to vote. Indiana may well feel proud of him and will appreciate his efforts for the people in the halls of congress. Hon. Robert L. Henry of Texas will speak at the court house in this city this evening on the issues of the present campaign. He is a splendid speaker, one of the best on the platform this year, and his address should prove of much interest to those who gather at the court room this evening. Mr.’ Henry represents the Eleventh [ district of Texas in the national congress and is one of the leaders of the delegation from that state. He is well posted on the big questions. Join the crowd and hear him. 1 _____________ ! Indiana democratic means more to Indiana democracy than retention of the present delegation of eleven democrats in the national house, the possession of both United States senatorships, control of legislation in the state and capture of the state offices. Indiana democrats this year will turn the eyes of the national democracy hitherward. There will be thoughtful looking up at the man who wheeled the state out of the republican column two years ago and under whose administration the democracy has repeated its victory. Governor Mar-

shall as a presidential candidate can carry Indiana and he can carry every state any other democrat can. Indiana democracy can greatly Increase its national prestige and place itself in the van of the party for the great struggle two years hence by holding the state in line this fall. —Ft. Wayne Sentinel. STANDS FOR KERN % Captain Stewart, Prominent Republican of Howard County, Comes Out. OPPOSES BEVERIDGE And it is Claimed He is the Straw That Will Turn County Over. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU, 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 19 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —In the absence of any denial from Senator Beveridge, or any explanation from Charles G. Sefrit of Washington, Ind., Mr. Sefrit's statement in the Washington, Herald on Monday, July 18. 1910, that Senator Beveridge would -have voted for the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill if his vote had been necessary for its passage, is gaining credence even among the republicans. But, it is not having the effect intended by Mr. Sefrit. He, as editor of the paper, published in an attempt to line up the conservative republicans to whom Senator Beveridge's attitude on the tariff is repugnant. It is now having an entirely different result. It is driving republicans to the conclusion that Senator Beveridge is insincere and that the only way to bring about desired reforms is through the election of a democratic senator. This is the view taken by Captain H. H. Stewart of Kokomo, a republican. who has represented Howard county in the Indiana legislature. Captain Stewart has come out openly in a set speech appealing for support in behalf of the democratic congressional ticket in the Ninth district and the democratic legislative tickets in the state senatorial district of Howard and Miami counties, and the joint representative district in the counties of Howard. Miami and Car- ' roll, and for the democratic candidate i for representative in Howard county. In a word, Captain Stewart, one of the most active republican members of the house in the last Indiana general assembly, has asked the return of Martin A. Morrison, democrat, to the national house of representatives, and the election of John W. Kern to the United States senate. Captain Stewart indicated that he was impressed with the entire correctness of the declaration of Mr. Sefrit that Senator Beveridge's vote for the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill would have been forthcoming had his vote been necessary to the passage of the bill. As he sees it, Mr. Sefrit, the personal friend and supporter of Senator Beveridge, was seeking to line up the regulars for the senator, in the face ]of the senator's “near-insurgency.” ' and that he spoke by the card, this being one of the many evidences of Senator Beveridge’s insincerity. Captain Stewart is a red-blooded insurgent. and as he has reached the conclusion that the only way to crystalize progressive principles into law is far from being pleased with Senator Beveridge’s dodging of the dollar-a-day pension proposition. In his Ko- ■ komo speech, heard by many Howard I county veterans, Senator Beveridge . made no reference to it. i Captain Stewart’s disaffection has created a profound sensation in the 1 republican ranks of Howard county. • There are free predictions that Howi ard county, which gave 2,500 for . Roosevelt and 945 for Taft, will elect the democrat legislative ticket and will give a plurality for Morrison 1 (democrat) for congress, and will 1 elect part, if not all, of the county ticket. — o— MR.
