Every indication points to the almost unanimous election of Woodrow Wilson, in Indiana Sam Ralston will win by a large majority and the entire state ticket will be elected, unless tile democrats neglect the duty of voting because of over-coufldence. Kvery voter should take part in this election. it is important and you if you have registered and have the other legal qualifications, should cast a vote. He a part of the government This is when you do your duty. Ex Mayor Holtzman. who speaks here Saturday evening, is one of the best orators In the state In a recent speech at Indianapolis he told his audience some startling farts about the ownership of the large newspapers and showed why the Star league is supporting Mr. Roosevelt. He will make a speech in Decatur that will interest every voter who hears It. James Robinson, who will also address the voters here Saturday night, is one of tiie best campaigners in the country and it will o<* an evening of politics In bis speech at the democratic dub Tuesday night, Itore H. Erwin said “If the democrats, who have been fighting for fifty years ,jr the prim 1ples in which they beUeir, do not win this year, they should realise that It doc* not mean a temporary defeat, but a defeat forever.- And that s the ttuth If with the republican party divided, they do not secure an abaoltre verdict tn their favor this year, it will-

be because the democrats do not support their own ticket, and will prove their inability to win. But we are going to win, and St will be the moat | conclusive victory ever known in this country. The people, irrespective of j politics, have made up their minds, 'and the ballots next Tuesday will * prove that they have decided wisely. '| ’ The report or the democratic national committee of its contributors 1 was filed at Washington today. Henry . Morgenthaii, chairman of the committee, submitted a detailed re- , |K>rt of the exiiendltuios, along with the report of Treasurer Rollti Wells, ’ showing the receipts and expenditures. The report shows the amount of receipts received up to October 24th. The total number of contributors t* 53,203. The number of contributors - and this Is the most remarkable point , of the democratic list—shows 52,2-f# j persons who have contributed under SIOO. There are 1,057 people who con* I tribitted SIOO and over. The amount • received to October 24th Is $678,264.73. Os this sum $28,625.16 was received as surplus of the Baltimore convention . fund. The amount of contributions l under SIOO is $236,456.02. The amount . of contributions of $l0t» and over .. $441,908.77. How different is this re- ■ port than was that of Mr. Roosevelt, where four people gave practically all of his campaign fund. i j : George Harnett’s name will appear on the ballots in Adams county, as a I bull moose candidate for county auditor, noth withstanding the fact that he , does not want to belong to the pro- , gt ensile party, has so published the . fact and made an attempt to have i his name kepi from the ticket. lie . was not a candidate for the honor, and . when informed of the action ol the contention said he '“ou.ci not run. . However, he did not file his resigns . tion as provided by law within three i days after his nomination had been . certified io the county clerk. Under the law the election commissioners , could do nothing else but place his name on the ballot. However, there was some opposition to this and the i commissioners Tuesday evening eali * ed up the attorney general's office an-1 i were advised that the only thing to do i was to place the name on tl»e tieekt. i Another point argued in favor of pbe > ing the name on the ticket was that > bis resignation was not substantiated I by an affidavit and is therefor held not to be record. At any rate the i name- is on the ballot and here we ■ find a man cunning for an office on :t f tic ke t w • ieh be himself cannot sirc- ’ jjort. It’S a queer business, but a lot of funny thing* are hapitening in polities just now, among them being 1 that Mr, Wilson fit to be the unsnt > ntotts choice of the states for the pre#1 idem*} George Barnett Is a good lei- ' tow and we hope he becomes disgust--1 ed enough with till the branches of the republican (tarty that be votes the democratic ticket straight The activities of Mr. Beveridge • when a member of the United Bias**# I senate, as inscribed In the congres-

sional record, makes instructive reading, especially when they are compared with bis deteuse as presented orally to the people of Indiana. Mr. Beveridge entered the senate on March 4, 1899. The senate in those days was in , the grip of the Aldrich ring—the early counterpart of the ‘ Invisible government' we hear so much about, today. For years it had been Mr. iieveridge’s ! ambition to become a senator. Once : a senator it was his ambition to be- j ' come one of the "inner circle" dtreejJM ■ by Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and/participated tn by Hanna, Hale, Kean, I 1 I Spooner, the two Platts, Ellison and . I Elkins. Mr. Beveridge entered the I distinguished body comparatively unknown, but with the power of a great ■ • state behind him, and be ii said to th<> ' j ct cat it of his ambition that, after cultivating the leaders mentioned, he > succeeded in the brief spaee ot two ’ years tn becoming a member of tins omnipotent ’'steering committee.” ! Mr. Beveridge contributed lo the t congressional record many pages ot

debate, but it is nol on record that he * ever, publicly or privately, renounced 1 this unholy machine. Even after Sen- * ator I jvKollette begun his lone handed ! struggle against the Aldrich oligarchy, Beveridge continued to associate and ' to train with the bosses. He has had * much to say concerning his tariff retI ord, bit! those who have studied politi- . cat history know that not until the j voice of Indiana unmistakably der mu tided tariff reform, revealing his * utter helplessness in seeking re-elec- ‘ Hon If he did not heed It. did he make ' his set. itlorified break with his party over the question of revision. And ‘ even then file congressional record has s some interesting things to show. Dur- * ing the consideration of the tariff WU 1 there were 1 1* roii calls on proposed amendments, and on thirty-eight of these Beveridge dodged. Indianapolis News PCLITiCA..
