STATE ISSUES (CONTINUED HIOM PAGE ONE) fully informed of the scandulous aitI uation. But the Democrats then as now were without any advocate among the newspapers of general circulation over the State; they had no funds with which to make an aggressive campaign; beyond the speeches made by William J. Bryan in 1906 (and Mr. Bryon discussed only National issues) and a speech at Indianapolis by John W. Kern and one hy Samuel M. Ralston no campaign was made. We all remember Senator Korn’s satire on “Poor Mr. Bushy” who thought he was shoveling coal into the gubernatorial coal bln when he was only "shoveling house rept”, and Mr. Ralston’s scathing denounciation of the moral obloquay of a man who could accept the money of a defaulter for campaign expenses and then send him to the penitentiary for committing the crime of getting caught. A Secretary of State forced from office by reason of defalcations, an Auditor of State sent to the penitentiary. a prominent officer of the National Guard In disgrace, these were the jewels of Republican rule in Indiana ten years ago. It became so “raw” that even the Indianapolis News refused to support the Republicans in 1908. Must we now hear taunts about “Terre Haute" from a paper that was

editorially indifferent as to these 1 1 things, and remain silent about scandals of greater magnitude connected with the Republican party. We ask that the conduct and record of the present State officials be contrasted (since there is no comparison) with that of recent Republican offiI cials. We ask that it be remembered that under Governor Marshall and i Governor Ralston a full and complete I exhibit of State finances has been , published, not only because the Constitution requires it, but because It is an ample defense of expenditures. In short we ask that the record of both parties be given, and that both shall be judged by that record. His Feet Not Cold. “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” This has long been a favorite quotation with which to squelch recKI less senators who upset revered pollI tical tradition by venturing to express their view upon the floor of congress : during the first term of office, says the South Bend News-Times. The 1 first year senator, or congressman, -s supposed to we/id his way to his axalted seat, if he wends at all, on tiptoe, there to sit in fear and trembling and list to the words of wisdom of his betters. Over in Washington, now. they are flailing Tom Taggart with the “fools rush in” quotation to a fare-you-well. Tom ran contrary to form. After only five weeks of dwelling in the holy of holies, he made a speech. Worse still, he criticised his fellow senators. He wanted to know why congress didn’t stop grandstanding and get down to its business of lawmaking. And he said—we repeat it with bated breath — that congress was recklessly extravagant. Such talk as that is reserved for f - publican nominees for president—not for “green senators” on the floor. Indeed, the Indiana man must be awfully “green.” Yet, Tom said it; the evidence of his heresy is overwhelming. We fe.l sorry for the new senator; he hrs committed the unpardonable sin and, of course, congress has placed the jinx sign opposite his name. The fool rushed in where the angels dared not tread—their feet were so awfully cold.
