tor Taggart is unfair, unjust and unbecoming. Mr. Taggart has proven himself a high class representative of the people and is of the sturdy business class which are needed in the legislative halls. He can do things. He has and will help the people of Indiana whenever given the opportunity. FOOLING THE GERMAN-AMERICAN: — The German-American voters of this country are being blinded in this political campaign. The republicans are sending them literature, newspapers. and telling them through speakers employed for the purpose that President Wilson has not been neutral and yet every proposition of the president in connection with the German controversy has been approved by the Kaiser, who is admitted to be the greatest authority on international law in the world. , While this political scheme is being used to “hoodwink” the German democrat into voting the republican ticket, Theodore Roosevelt is going over the country telling the people that Wilson has not been firm enough and that Germany shduld have been more harshly treated—and it is stated and has never been denied that Roosevelt is to be a member of the Hughes cabinet. Mr. Hughes says he is in hearty accord with Roosevelt. Think of it, Mr. German voter! Mr. Wilson has tried to be fair. He has kept the nation out of war and we are now the most prosperous in history. You should study it out yourself and not believe the smooth and tricky statements of the republicans who are thus seeking to get into office. They do not care for you or your interests. They are playing with you and the following extract from a speech delivered by Colonel Roosevelt as Louisville yesterday and published this morning in the Indianapolis Star, leading republican paper of Indiana, should be enough to convince you that the Hughes outfit has about as much use for you as they have for Germany: “Instead of speaking softly and carrying a big stick. President Wilson spoke bambastically and carried a dishrag. For these offenses against us I blame the Germans, for nothing can excuse their jeopardizing and taking the lives of men, women and children; and I do not believe that under the circumstances we would have done what they have done. For less heinous offenses against our property rights I blame the British, but I blame them much less, and I do beliwe that under the circumstances, we should have acted in the same way, if other nations would have let us. But I blame the United States even .more than I blame Germany, and far more than I blame England, for in our case there has been no splendid alloy of heroism to offset the wrong-doing. Our offenses have been those of cold, shortsighted selfishness and a mean timidity which has invited, and has therefore been partly responsible for the German and British offenses against us. We could have stopped them had we any real leadership in Washington, had we shown any firmness of soul and readiness to make effort and encounter risk for high ideals. Kept us out of war! If the Wilson administration could point to one sacrifice this nation has made for the right, to one indication of willingness to face loss on behalf of principle, it might deserve some credit. But it deserves none. Thanks to President Wilson, we have shown our-
selves too craven to stand up for our own rights or for the rights of weaker peoples,” Business is gootj—your boys are at home —the affairs of the nation are safe in the hands of Woodrow Wilson. He has earned re-election —vote tor him. Compare John A. M. Adair and his record to James Goodrich and his activities and you will soon convince yourself that the people will be best served by Adair. He is clean, capable, a business man, and an honest public servant. The Fort Wayne News says that three hundred people attended the Fuelber meeting at Freidheim Tues da?* evening. The good honest people of that community know best hownear the truth the statement is and by that knowledge they can judge the rest of their statements. Roosevelt insists that nothing will do but war. Hughes is in hearty accord with him. It has been declared and never denied that Roosevelt is to be a member of the Hughes cabinet. Those who vote for Hughes know pretty well what they are voting for—a change—a firmer stand— Roosevelt, and probably war. Do you like it? Candidate Hughes is being “heckled" and refuses to answer questions put to him by laboring men, farmers and others. He has one idea in making speeches—scolding the president, but he falls to say how he would have done different in any crisis Mr. Wilson has had to meet. He is still traveling in his eleven ear solid Pullman advising the common people how to vote. Some times we are led to believe he wants a job worse than any thing else. The inside politicians from Ohio have arrived at New York and reported confidentially to the national committee that the Buckeye state is right now more than 100,000 for W ilson. It caused a severe slump in the Hughes stock and now it is announced that every spellbinder in the nation is to be rushed into that state in a last frantic effort to save it. The list includes Hughes, Taft, Beveridge, McCormick, Fairbanks and a dozerf others. Too late, boys, better give your attention to Pennsylvania—you may save that and Vermont. Mr. Hitchcock boasts that he has 40,000 men employed in the interests of the republican party in Indiana, which explains the reason that they are able to tell so many different stories in different part of the state. At one place they are for the German. In another they are against them. They are on every side of every question and stand for nothing. The voter who pays attention to these employees of a party which is spending millions to secure control of the governmental machinery are not treating themselves fair and square.
