Senator La-Follette is out in a statement in which he attacks both Roosevelt and Taft, claiming that neither was the real choice of the Chicago convention. Thomas Taggart will continue as the national committeeman from Indiana. The state committee unanimously voted to refuse to accept his resignation and Mr. Taggart consented to serve until after election. The prohibition party has renominated Chafin and Watkins for president and vice president. The same men headed the ticket four years ago. An effort to change the name of the party to the 'Progressives” lost The investigations now being made show from the evidence of Mr. Cortelyou, who was national chairman at the time, that the republicans had a campaign fund in 1904 of nearly two million dollars. That exceeds by about $1,500,000 all the campaign ftftids the democrats have had since the war. And Roosevelt favors the people, not the interests! The "Bull Moose” party,'being organized by the Roosevelt republicans, will hold a state convention at Indianapolis on Thursday, August Ist, at which time it is said a state ticket will be selected. On July 31st district meetings will be held, at which time district and legislative nominations will be made. Mr. Lee is the head of the Indiana organization and seems determined to proceed with his program against the advice of many of his own faith. Senator Txtrimer. defending his own seat in the senate, made a bitter attack on Senator John Kern, who was one of the members of the committee which reported in favor of unseating him. Lorimer is unfair and unscrupulous. Everybody knows that Mr. Kern is an honorable gentleman, and that all the headlines printed by the republican journals of this state, have been made over and added to create political stuff. Mr. Shively was chosen at a regular caucus of the democratic members of the legislature, and an interview with Mr. Kern, who was defeated at that ti tie, has been used over and over and rehashed to

prove that Mr. Shively's election was j fraudulent He was chosen fairly and squarely after an all night’s session, I and any one who cares to investigate it can discover that all the candidates in the race could not have raised a Lorimer fund. The fact remains that Senators Shively and Kern are big men in the senate, that they have ability, that they were regularly elected and that they represent the people and not the bosses or the interests. "The selection of Mr. Hilles as national chairman denotes the same sardonic, desperation of the scuttle pilots that appeared in their renomination of Jim Sherman and the adoption of a standpat platform. They turn the ship over to Mr. Taft, lock themselves in the admiral’s stateroom, throw away the key and await with fortitude the end. They were willing, of course, to put in Barnes. Possibly they would have preferred Aldrich or Cannon or Lorimer or Smoot; but Barnes would have done very well. Any who could not discern tie skull and crossbones at the masthead would know by the pirate at the helm that the ship was doomed. What the president needs, of course, as the national committee knows, is a strong man of brains and character to make up where he lacks in political sense; to guide, admonish and restrain. In this situation the party leaders, with exemplary and demoniac abandon of faithlessness, give him a man who will be nothing but the executor of Mr. Taft’s will, and what that means they know perfectly well. The poorest politician in the world, the mast of infelicitous speech —they leavem hi most graciously and condescendingly to his fate. It would be false and stupid to call them leaders —they are wreckers, and masterfully well their work is being done." —The Indianapolis Star. NOTICE TO TRESPASSERS.
