He defends the action of the recent Chicago convention, and J'm ought to know something about it, for he is accused of being one of the real chauffeurs of the Taft roller, used so effectively at that time. Woodrow Wilson will be notified officially tomorrow of his nomination on the democratic ticekt for the pres identy. Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky will make the notification address and the New Jersey governor will reply, his speech stating his position on the various questions of interest in the approaching campaign.

TO IMPROVE CHURCH Father George to Beautifully remodel I Edifice Auburn, Ind., Aug. 6 —Having looked forward to the day when they could occupy a more magnificent ami spacious church home, for several years, it looks like the Auburn Catholics are to have their dreams realized, for, with a confortable sum in the church coffers and an enthusiasm of two hundred followers, the work of remodeling their little house of worship really begun. The church has been moved twelve feet back from the sidewalk, raised four feet and a large and roomy basement is being built. At the rear of the old building, a wing, 46x20 feet, will be built at either end of which will bo provided a vestry. The interior of the old auditorium and the new addition will be beautifully decorated and refurnished. If no unforseen delays intervene, it is hoped that the new church, as it will practically be, will be ready for dedication early in October. INDIAN KILLED ON TRACK.

PLATFORM ADOPTED- > tinned from Page 1) demned, but by truth alone and the truth is his vindication. He is never spectacular, he never advertises, he operates no press bureau to herald his own greatness, and therefore the facts about his administration have remained damned up, while the vocabularies of denunciation have gone bubbling along. "Wherein is our great change that so many who toiled and struggled with us but two years ago should fin us so unworthy now? "We know precisely when this crisis began in Indiana. We know that it began the very hour that Albert J. Beveridge learned he couid not he re-elected to the United Stntes senate. And it began in the nation the very moment Theodore Roosevelt learned he was not the nominee of the Chicago convention. Had he been there would have been no crisis. Had he been, he would have today been the champion of the same rock-ribbed party regularity he had always been up to the hour of his defeat. "The new party is built wholly upon the personality of Theodore Roosevelt. If he had been nominated at Chicago there would have been no third party and everybody knows it Time and again after the platform had been adopted at Chicago Theodore Roosevelt stated and lepeated and reiterated he was willing to accept the nomination on that platform. What room is there then, for this mock devotion to heroic principles? ’’Theodore Roosevelt might have ■ named a compromise candidate at Chicago. In the interest of harmony and party fealty, the Taft forces might have yielded to such an arrangement, and yet, when it was proposed to him that he name one of his trusted leaders, he denounced the proposition in bitter terms. When It was suggested to him that he could probably nominate Governor Hadley, he furiously spurned the offer and fearing lest some other person might be nominated at once wrote a letter to the convention which was read by Allen of Kansas in which he commanded his followers to vote for nobody but him. “And ye’ ne proclaims that he is ".ga’nst bosses.” Watson dwelt at length upon the tariff question, criticising Governor Wilson and the democratic party’s views on free trade. Numerous quotations from writings and speeches of I the New Jersey governor, giving his views on immigration and labor, were given. Watson also praised the administration of Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and defended the Payne bill. o A QUICK RELIEF FOR HAY FEVER i A Simple, Safe.
