The Philadelphia North American, repnblican, sent its Washington correspondent, Angus McSween, to Indiana to report impartially on conditions there. This is a part of the report* I he sent back to his paper: “Indiana is hopelessly lost to Pres- j ident Taft and the republicans. From no indications is it possible to reason that they will be as strong as they were in the last election, when they lost every congressional district but one, and control of the legislature. Since then the rapid development of progressive republican sentiment into an open hostility to the Taft administration, and the reactionary policies which he advocates, make it obvious that with Taft as the republican can didate again, the vote against him in this state will be overwhelming.” The first political aspirant for chair-' man ot the Eighth district was made in the Bluffton Banner Friday evening. as follows: “Charles H. Plessinger of this city,, cashier of the Studabaker bank, and democratic county chairman for the campaign of 1908, at the time that Governor Marshall was elected governor, today announced his candidacy for democratic district chairman. Mr. Plessinger has been a resident of Wells county bis entire life and has always been an active democrat. He never asked lor any office, but has always been high in the councils of the party and has always lent his efforts in bringing about the success of the party. Local democrats feel that Wells county should receive the chairmanship, and according to reports from over the district, Mr. Plessinger has a good chance of being elected ” ONE MAN KILLED And Another Fatally Injured in Fight With Robbers.

Wehmeyer, the affair being e Hallowe’en entertainment. First of all Mrs. Wehmeyer took a picture of the girls, then they bobbed for apples, and tried the uncertain stunt of eating cookies tied from a string, hung in the archway, and then hunted for peanuts. The luncheon was a pleasing part of the entertainment, this being served at | the table in the dining room. Cun-1 ning little jack-o'lantems were set at I each plate and the centerpiece of the j table was a pot of witches, which really proved to be all-day-suckcrs, I dressed up to represent witches.
