Kern for Un- , ited States senator, east your ballot ..tor Jacob Butcher. ’ Mr. Henry of Texas, in opening his address at the court house Wednesday evening, said his only regret was , that he could not lend us about 100,- > 000 of their democrats to vote in the • northern states this fall, thus fully as- ’ suring a sweeping victory everywhere. While we appreciate the of- , fer. we cannot help feeling that the > votes are not needed in Indiana or • Ohio, much as they would have bene- ‘ fitted us a few years ago. > William J. Bryan today closes a six > day tour of Indiana In that six days ’ he has discussed national issues with , that great broad mind of his in away , that has helped many a voter to ' make his decision. And that opinion is—for John W. Kern. Mr. Bryan stands for him because he is one of the people, because he is honest, a fighter for the right and a man of ability. Mr. Bryan has no apology to make and his speeches were straight out as they always are. We believe his trip across Indiana was one of great good for the entire democratic ticket.

Mr. Kern stands for constitutional government as established by the fathers. He stands for a tariff act as provided by the constitution, which will take away from the powers of pillage the privilege and favor given by the republican part}-, and deprive them of the power to fix both the purchase and selling price of their products. Mr. Kern stands for oldfashioned honesty and economy. He stands for the rights of the people as against the powers of pillage. He is an honest, upright and sincere man; a good neighbor and a good citizen, and will represent no special interest but the common good.—From Speech by ex-Mayor Holtzman, introducing Mr. Bryan at Indianapolis. A brilliant speech by a brainy man, was the general verdict of those who heard the speech Wednesday evening by Congressman Robert L. Henry of Texas. He abused no one and accorded to every man the right he claims for himself to believe and vote as he thinks right. His speech was on the tariff and was one of the ablest addresses along that line ever heard here. He described Cannonism and told how the tariff was reduced upward instead of downward as promised. He announced himself in favor of tariff for revenue with which to conduct the government, and plead for the election of John A. M. Adair to congress and for John W. Kern for the senate. He told of the valiant work in congress by Mr. Adair and at each mention of the latter’s name he was applauded liberally. Mr. Henry is a big man and his visit here was appreciated. Under the caption, “The Roosevelt Incubus,’’ the Buffalo Commercial (Rep.) denounces Rooseveltism and declares that Mr. Roosevelt is “queering and demoralizing the republican party. The Commercial is owned by William C. Warren, erstwhile republican leader in Erie county. The editorial which caused a sensation in Buffalo, says: "The Commercial idea about the eclipse of President Taft and of the republican party by Colonel Roosevelt and the substitution of his personality In the place of all other issues in the New York campaign is

that it Is a preposterous and intolerable situation. It is a situation that discredits the republican party and theratens it with overwhelming disaster. » • » There was no precedent and there is no sense or decorum in a retired president's acting as Mr. Roosevelt has done since his return from his travels. His head has been turned by his success in exciting popular interest and by the endless roar and glare of publicity. “The eruption of Roosevelt is queering and demoralizing the republican state campaign in the most helpless manner. He has unquestionably made himself and the government tendencies he advocates and embodies the main issue in this campaign. ‘The new nationalism,' Mr. Roosevelt declares, 'demands of the judiciary that it shall be interested primarily in human welfare (guided by the spirit of the times) rather than in property,’ and the 'new nationalism’ also ‘regards the executive power as the steward of the public welfare.’ Conrad Brake dead, seems impossible to the many who were used to greeting him each day. He was one of the best known men in this city, and we believe honestly that he had not an enemy in the world. Still he was an active man until very recent years and served the public in various official capacities. He was one of those men who always had an opinion and to whom every one seemed to grant that privilege without question. An ardent democrat he took an active part in every campaign and was especially interested in the questions of this year. He was in this office this morning seeking information as to the progress of the campaign. Os him it may well be said, he was honest and upright, both in private and public life, a good neighbor and citizen, who had fought his own way through life, and who leaves it without stain of any kind upon his name. SOCIETY DOINGS Beautiful Autumnal Party and Dinner Gived at the F. W. Dibble Home.

SHAKESPEARE CLUB With Mrs. Allison—Mrs. Ben Pillars Entertains This Evening. Sudden Rain. They flash upon the window pane From skies grown swiftly dark— The wild keen lashes of the rain; They make my heart their mark! Even so can tears —tears not my own. The very daylight blind; Across my heart the griefs are blown Os all my human kind. —Edith Thomas in Smart Set. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Thursday. Thimble Club —Miss Midge Smith. Euterpean —Miss Nora Del Smith. Baptist Aid—Mrs. Henry Winnes. Helping Hand —Mrs. John Glancy. Saturday. Loyal Hearts —Miss Bertha Schultz. These bright autumn days bring with them an eagerness for the country, where autumn certainly is exalted as queen on a throne brilliant with vivid greens, browns, reds and yellows—nowhere so artistically displayed as in nature —and this is no doubt one reason why the afternoon and evening spent by the Sewing club and their husbands at the F. W. Dibble home east of the city Wednesday was so delightful. The Dibble home was a veritable bower of autumn. Fluttering dainty-colored leaves were pinned to curtains and walls, and even great branches of most beautiful leaves in autumn tints, were used in decorations, as were profusions of autumnal garden flowers arranged by the deft hands of the hostess and her daughter. Miss Blanche. The ladies brought their sewing and spent the afternoon, being joined at the supper hour by the husbands, whose business cares could not allow them to come sooner. At 6 o’clock such a dfnneF'fc those for which the Dibble farmhouse is noted was served, those assisting in serving being Mrs. Otis Dibble, Misses Marie Patterson and Blanche Dibble.
