WERE PROUD THEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) "Horace Stillwell insisted that the vote was wrong and asked for a recount, Chairman Will R. Wood held that it was too late to question the accuracy of the vote." And then James E. Hemenway. who had been elected a delegate to the national convention by the power of the polled and detective forces of Evansville, is reported to have "placed In nomination for delegates at large to the Ciycago convention Charles W. Fairbanks. Harry S. New. James E. Watson and Joseph T. Oliver.” Two days after the Indiana convention Colonel Roosevelt made a speech in Chicago. Among other things which the colonel had to say was this: "Against all the money, all the patronage, and all the efforts of the Kealing machine in Indiana, with nothing but the plain people of the state to rely upon, we carried the state convention unanimously, and then by fraudulent action, which can only be called brutal in its utter defiance, fully two hundred delegates were thrown out and the will of the people reversed. • » • The Kealing machine state delegation in Indiana does not represent all the people at all. Now the fundamental issue in this tight is an issue of honesty, business and fair play. « » » Have the rank and file of tiie plain people, in whom Abraham Lincoln trusted, the right to express their free will? Or are they to be bullied and defrauded of that right by the representatives of political and financial pillage? “The representatives of the powers of pillage, with the backing of big crooked business, work through the lowest kind of political machinery with the support of the great financial powers that work in the dark ness. * * * The issue is whether the American people are fitted and able to govern themselves or whether they are to be governed by these machine politicians jrhose close alliance with the worst fljrms of big business has produced nine-tenths of the corrupt Jon and scandal in American public life. The republican party fortunes are now committed to these political machines in the various states, which are led by men like Tawney in Minnesota. Kealing in Indiana. Penrose ■ in Pennsylvania. Ballinger in Washington. Barnes and Koenig in New York. ' Gallinger in New Hampshire, Guggenheim 'and Evane in Colorado, Aldrich in Rhode Island. Cox in Ohio and Lorimer in Illinois.” In the newspapers the same date. Joe Kealing assuming to speak for the republican party in Indiana, said: “It amuses me very much, but Colonel Roosevelt has been grossly misinformed. The republican partyin Indiana is not now and never has been controlled by any, interests.” When the credentials committee at Chicago got busy with the road roller. arranging the roll call of the convention. Alabama being first 'on the alphabetical list of contests, the regulars were speedily- seated, whereupon Harry S. New. Indiana member of the national committee and general manager of the steam roller, is quoted in the records as saying, "there is absolutely nothing in these contests. This case is a fair sample of all and they will be settled as this one was.” Results prove that* one Harry S. New was an excellent guesser. • On Jurjp Bth, the newspaper dispatches from Chicago tell how Horace Stillwell, opposed to the Indiana machine, made certain compromise proposals looking to party harmony. The newspaper report advises us that “the proposal was turned down flat.” Whereupon, Jim Hemenw-ay- declared. “I was elected legally and properly and so were all the other delegates from Indiana, and I do not propose to consider any proposals to deprive any of us of the full rights and duties in-the convention which have been placed on us by the republicans in Indiana." Two days later at the Chicago convention Hemenway was still talking. He could not understand how anybody could go to the national convention and charge that there had been gross repeating in the Indiana primaries and “not present evidence as to the identity of the repeaters. How any one can come to this committed . and talk about road rolling when our majority is more than sixty-one . more than I can see,” declared Mr. j Hemenway in childlike innocence. , At one time in the proceedings Harry S. New became greatly per- i turbed and he found it necessary toll issue a statement in which he said: 11 “This is a national convention, not' a prize fight or a beer garden.” The delegates and folks back home really thought it was a riot. On the eleventh' I ’of June, standing in tiie Congress hotel lobby and mopping the perspiration from his classic features, the newspaper reporters described him as “Mr. Kealing, republican leader of Indiana,” and ' and they quoted him after this Planner: "Believe me. lam feeling pretty good. Everything was decided tho way it should have been against the colonel. His methods of graft have

been fittingly rebuked. No man can fool all of tiie people all of the time.” Hooray for “our Joe.” And yet in 191(1 comes Joe Kealing with his friends Jim Hemenway. Jim Watson, Charlie Fairbanks. Harry New. Will Wood and Jim Goodrich, all dressed in outward robes of purity. proclaiming that they have always been the advocates of progressivism and good, honest represents tfve government. This is but a brief chapter from much that was written in 1912 and again in 1914, and which is moat interesting to the people of Indiana in 1916. A WAY OUT. A Resident of Decatur Shows* th? Way. There’s one effective way -to re lieve kidney backache. Liniment and plasters may relieve it. But they seldom reach the cause. Backache is cause to suspect the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for disordered kidneys. * Decatur people back them up. Read a case of it. Mrs. Judson Teeple. 706 N. Second street, Decatur, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the past and. they have never failed to satisfactorily me of backache anc 'other common symptoms of- kidney trouble."
