And now it is reported that each of the candidates for the republican nomination for governor are conducting campaigns that will cost a total of SIOO,OOO each. It looks impossible that a man who can afford to spend that much would want to take the chance, but Barnum used to say “A

sucker is born every minute." Recently every republican paper in the state was announcing that Ed Toner of Anderson had returned to the republican ranks. They are not making near so much fuss over his interview in Washington a day or so ago in which lie said Indiana is a doubtful state and much depends on whether < r not the progressives are sincerely recognized. If Toner was the chief witness a few months ago why not now ? Hon. James P.

p history of American railroads. This = applies to all of the railroad systems t in the United States, and not to a - certain few of the more fortunate sysf terns. The prosperity of the Unit'd States is distributed all over the country, and the people in all parts of the nation are participating in it. The fact is that business in all lines is 1 i booming and has been booming for months, in spite of the fact that standpat politician* are still howling that the only thing that will relieve the "terrific depression" and break up the 1 "awful iwnic” that they love to talk t about is a return of the Republican j party to power. Whenever a man t hears these office-hungry fakers talk like that, all he needs to do is to stop and think of his own condition at this time. He will find that he is prosperous, that he has plenty of work, that business is good, that lie is raaking money and that everything is all 1 right. Then he can answer these political shysters himself. —Marion Leader Tribune. n > _____ e
