CONFESSIONS . t ■ I. ’if ARE COMING REGULARiLY Confessions from those high in the circles of the republican party are coming regularly. Confessions, too, that bear out in detail every argument ever made by a democrat, that the republican position on the tariff and other great questions, was wrong in theory and wrong to practice upon the American people. Here is the latest from the tongue <pt Gifford Plnchot, who, in a speech at St. Paul the other evening, said: “But in the meantime the people of the United States believe that, as a whole, the senate and the house no longer Represent the voters by whom they were elected, but the special interests by whom they were controlled. They believe so because they have so often seen in congress reject what the people desire, and do instead what the interests demand. And of this there could be no better Illustration than the tariff. “The tariff, under the policy of protection, was originally a means to raise the rate of wages. It has been made a tool to increase the cost of living. The wool schedule, professing to protect the wool-grower, is found to result in sacrificing grower and consumer alike to one of the most rapacious of trusts. ,v “The cotton cloth schedule was increased in the face of the uncontra-, dieted public testimony of the manufacturers themselves that it ought to remain unchanged. ’I fa?. ’■ i “The interests by a. trick secured wn fadefattalbto ta the tiriffon , Structural steel. y “The sugar trust stole from the jfpv-, -ernment lite a petty thief, <yet congress, by means of a dishonest sched; ule, continues to protect it in bleeding the public. “At .the very time the dutiea.on manufactured rubber were raised.' the leader of the senate, in company with, the Guggenheim syndicate, was organizing an international rubber trust whose charter made it also a holding company for the coal and copper deposits of the world. “For a dozen years the demand of the nation for the pure food and drug bill was outweighed in congress by the Interests which asserted their right to poison the people for a profit. I } “Congress refused to authorize the ] preparation of a great plan of waterway development in the general interest, and for ten years has declined to pass the Appalachian and White Mountain National Forest bill, although the people are practically unanimous for both. The whole nation is in favor of protecting the coal and other natural resources in Alaska, yet they are still In danger of being absorbed by speclai matters. And as for the general conservation movement, congress not only refused to help it on, but tried to fc; . forbid any progress without its help.” " r THEY TALK ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT The Decatur Democrat, for owned by L. G. Ellingham, formerly of this city, has been Incorporated. John Heller, for several years bustness manager, now has a third- interH est in the paper.—-Bluffton Banner. ‘ ■ • V-' : The Decatur Democrat has resolved itself into a company and incorpoj; ated, J, H. Heller having purchased a K third interest and continues in the • X management of the paper.—Geneva Herald. • ——— > John 11. Heller, who ter tweve yrara has been the business manager of the Deeatur Democrat, has purchased a ; third interest in the newspaper plant, the other two-thirds being held by Lew Ellingham. The company has been Incorporated as the Decatur DemK ocrat company and publishes a daily and weekly newspaper. Mr. Elling-

! ham Is the democrat candidate for secretary of state. The publishing company Incorporators are Mr. Ellingham and his wife and Mr. Heller and . his wife.—Bluffton The Decatur Democrat Company is the name of a new corporation, but one that is new in name only. The : company has been incorporated and . J. H. Heller takes a third interest in the plant with Mr. Ellingham. Heller has bean with the paper for twelve years ahd is closely identified with i its growth. The Democrat is one of > the most prosperous papers in east* , ern Indiana. It is always clean and ; up-to-date and deserves the success ■ that is coming to it—Winchester Herald. By the terms of a business deal recently consummated, John H. Heller has become the owner of a third interest in the Decatur Daily Democrat, identifying himself In a business way with Lew G. Ellingham, democratic candidate for secretary of state. Mr. Heller is an able writer, a thorough business man, and has a host of acquaintances in northern Indiana who will wish for him a most successful future.—Auburn Courier. The Decatur Democrat, owned and published for the past twenty years by Lew G. Ellingham, democratic candidate for secretary of state, began business Wednesday morning as an incorporated stock company. The Decatur Democrat, under the excellent team work of Ellingham and Heller, has become recognized as one of |the brightest and most prosperous small city daily newspapers in Indiana and the incorporation is but a step in advance and when Lew Ellingham becomes secretary of state Heller wil be the helm at the Democrat— Portland Sun. ■’ ' V ; ‘ Mr. John H. Heller, for eight years' business manager of the Decatur Democrat, has become a part owner of that Mr. Lew G. Ellingham, formerly sole owner of the Democrat, pays Mr. Heller a handsome compli tnent in a signed editorial, and thd good things he sayS about "his bid manager and new partner are all fully deserved. There is no brighter newspaper man nor better manager in northern Indiana than Mr. Heller. The phenomenal success of the Democrat during the past eight or nine years has been due jointly to the excellent editorial work of Mr. Ellingham and the business acumen of Mr. Heller. It is a good newspaper, far beyond the ordinary, for a city, of Decatur’s population. It was made by by Mr. Ellingham and Mr, Heller.— Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. | 1 Shall the old eagle scream? The band boys are trying to stir up a little enthusiasm and aided by the business men of Decatur they will do it. These are great times ror, the steel trust and for'shipyard owners. The government is to build the two biggest warships of the world and at the biggest cost, naturally. And still some people wonder why the cost of living continues to count. —New York World. Governor Marshall was given a true southern reception while a guest in Alabama, and some mighty nice things were said about him by the press of that section. They like him, and it is not out of place to suggest that , they i will like him better, the more and the better they know him. \ , The senior senator from Indiana was given another curtain lecture in the senate, and accused of trying to destroy the best tariff law ever pass- * Thus it will again be seen that the senior senator should be a demoV erht in name, and not try to practice ‘ the impossible of being for and ’ against a political party, at one and 1 the same time. When any particularly good propot sitioq: * n congress has been carried » against the vote of the "regular” re i publicans, the anti-regular republican papers announce the fact in big headr lines, thus: "Insurgents Win Big Vlcl, tory.” The fact is, of course, that the - democrats furnished nearly all of the r votes-tad won the victory with the - aid of, a few insurgents. .•

s| - District chairman B&bte has called f the district organisation M a meet • ing at Muncie on next me.,. at 1 which time and place the democratic congressional convention for the Eighth district will be arranged. Were ’ Decatur favored with better railroad t connections we could have this con- > vention, and along with every other 1 citizen of Adams county we regret 1 that we are in away isolated from ' the rest of the district. ! ."1 ■■■■■—» 1 I i Isn’t it just a little too democratic : the way these insurgents talk 'about . the protective fed interests, and-their . outrageous assaults against the dear people? No wonder the average standpatter feels just a little sick at the stomach, and resents the motives of their former associates. We do not blame them for harboring this-resent-ment and along with it the feeling that a real democrat has a better record than a near-democrat or insurgent could possibly have. . Politics cuts no ice with the Democrat while deserving men are in the public eye. We consider it a privilege to say that the retiring postmaster and the able corp of employees Who have served the public and the government under him, have performed their duty and performed it well. Judging from the character of the newly appointed postmaster for this city, the same able'administration of the postal affairs of this city will continue, and to that end the Democrat will ever lend its influence and aid. One of the features of the coming campaign will De me inauguration of a press bureau wmen will afford the democratic newspapers of the state the opportunity of getting the actual political news of the state. This will also afford the readers of these newspapers the opportunity of reading news instead of that which is to a large extent manufactured for the purpose of assisting some political party or some political leader to ta advantage. We hope that the democratic press bureau will be honest' and candid in everything it may &y br do, and thus establish itself on a high plane, "i r if Republican defeat at the presidential election' of 1912 was freely pro-' dieted at the sessions of the National Association of Hosiery and Underwear Manufacturers by its leading men, who declared, that by that time the effect on business in general, as the result of the present tariff bfi| will be so great that the democratic party will elect the president and congress. Not only manufacturers and business men will come to realise the situation confronting them but the working men also, several manufacturers declared, and the result will be that there will be a general political uprising.—Philadelphia Record. The republican standpatters were free with their hot air predictions that the present democratic delegation of eleven in congress would be the means of Indiana losing prestige and standing with the powers that be in congress. The omnibus building bIH, which is now prepared, does not Indi*’ cate much loss in the pork barrel. Twelve appropriations for public buildings in Indiana were allowed them, the total of such appropriations being in excess of six hundred thousand dollars. Congressman Adair gets sixty thousand for a site and building . at, Portland. The more these hot air republican partisans talk, the deeper they get both feet in the mire. The insurgents .are becoming Jud > a little brazen. They are how claim ing that they are carrying out thp, Roosevelt policies. And who pray, cept one William H. Taft, has any. mortgage on the Roosevet policies. We all remember the political history of two years ago, and-It is with mortification and some shame that we remember the political history since , that time. But nevertheless, We do not propose to see our president robi 1 »• bed of that which to him is the most dearest—those Roosevelt Official notice is therefore hereby directed to any and all insurgents and would-be Insurgents that they must keep off this sacred ground. 11- r ..jL'MßHage Henry 0. Havemeyr, former head of

i shear trust is it a me sugar is n is comptratively safe, therefore, for the other t officers of the trust to lay responslbllc ify for the weighing frauds, by which s the... trusts made millionß, at his doot. e The “live ones,” however, should be 1 attended to and a|so the party that i- gave the sugar trusVits power for evil r Says the Louisville Courrier-Journal; t “Very probably Henry Q. Havemeyer knew of and approved the weighing methods of the sugar trust. Was he guiltier; if this is true, than distinguished leaders of-<the republican party who know of, and approve, the 1 party's method of filling the sugar ' trust’s orders for legislation?” Hardly. And while the republican > party is not dead, as Havermeyer is, it t seems to be bordering on dissolution, i < • u. ' Another American commander has suddenly become famous.. Down off the coast of Nicaragua, where the varlous forces have almost spent themselves, Commander Sines of an American war vessel, has' shouted out across the waters, “At the href shot fired against the American flag or an i American vessel, I will level the bluff.” That’s all that is necessary to advertise a man in America, where we thrive cm patriotic sentiment. Such headlines made Bob Evans fampus. Paul Jones’ oath that we had just begun to fight made his name ring around the world, and there’s Dewey, and Peary, and Farragut, and a dozen others. It pays to advertise, and if you can phrase your headline in a catchy way that stirs the masses, you have but written an 'ad” that will last a lifetime.

The insurgents lost out in lowa and in Wisconsin they are in a fairway to get theirs. While in Indiana we will have to wait until the election returns are all in, yet present indications point to their overwhelming defeat. Why phouldn’t they be defrated? The only question in which they differ Is th« tariff, and upon that question they should either be democrats or they should be republicans. If democrats they are against the protective principle and if republicans they are for such a principle. There is no half way jumping-off pißbe, as-Tor fastanCe being only for h hominal tariff of a few protected articles. If It is a good thing they should be for it heart and soul and for all they can get of it. If it is a bad thing they should be a democrat and be against it, and be against it from principle. From a republican standpoint the standpatters have the best of the argument. The effort of the Indiana Beveridge organs to make it appear that the failure of the people to re-elect Beveridge to the United States senate will mean that they have been bought up by “the interests” and -are unfit for selfgovernment, is most tiresomely silly. What the people of Indiana want is a man in the senate, who, like Senator Shively, will vote for all of the measures that will benefit the masses and against all of the measures designed to confer special favors and privileges on a few persons. Such a man is John W. Kern. Mr. Beveridge has himself- been the beneficiary of “the interests.” He stands right now for many things that these same in terests want and for very little that the people want. The people of Indiana will show good sense, good judgment and a thorough knowledge of ’ the real situation by returning Bever--1 idge to private life; Speaking of the result of its recent vote wherein 1,500 Indiana people .gave: their opinions ttpta men and measure, the Cincinnati Efaqulrer,

f says! .... . - “Os the success of the administra- ’ tion of Governor Thoma* Marthall the ’ plebiscite Indicates popular approva'. ’ There are 1,110 who say that it is giving satisfaction, which ffcdfttof the whole number, There art 174, or X»>r,cont who Ife l i gist that It > a ,f*|h£e,and.4B&<W ! about 9Mi Per cent, who saythat,suc- » cess or failure is a matter of doubt. ( *■ Saving these exceptions, there is nd gainsaying that the vote indicates. more than the usual popularity ’ achieved by a chief executive elected ■ ntilll the Unusual ; circumstances • which attended Governor Marshall’s t victory over such a strong man as Congressman James Watson.” As the vote upon other questions indicated that at. least hflf, and per- : masy more than half, of those

whose views were sought are republicans, the indorsement of Governor 1- Marshall’s administration is practicali ly unanimous. Which merely goes to ? shew: that Abe people kno<w and approb elate a good thing when they .tae it - " • . ■ t ’’ , sSssraassMaspas • In a convention held yesterday Hou, . d. J. Netterville of Anderson * 'nominated by the democrats for joint - senator for the counties of Henry and 1 Madison. Mr. Netterville is a broadminded, public-spirited citizen and in i ■ - } the Indiana state senate he will prove . a leader and legislator worthy of the name. ' - The democrats of Delaware county meet on next Wednesday to nominate their county ticket, and judging by the noise being made there now by the many democrats who want a place on the ticket, one would think there was a lead-pipe cinch lying around loose. There will be .even stranger things happen in this campaign than the success of : the democratic county ticket in Delaware county. It is charged that Senator Beveridge on the day of the republican state Convention, sent a telegram to a friend in Washington saying that he bad “kicked the stomach off of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill?’ And now the Hon. Jim Watson, backed up by the Taft administration, is going tp try to kick it back on again by making two speeches a day for a whole month in the Indiana campaign. With Beveridge kicking it off and Watson kicking it on that stomach is bound to suffer some damage—to say nothing

about what the democrats will do to it. . ' The standpatters have at last decreed that self-respect and self-preser-vation can only be sustained by a square-toed fight for those principles and those policies for * which they haye contended for all these years. They are going before the country on their record, and they are going to fight it out on that line. Knowing their proclivities for fighting in. the . past, the. life of an insurgent will be,; .one tong- dreary waste, even pay the democrats to alt up and; take notice. But this is the right and the manly thing to do. They are either right or they are wrong, and if wrong they are even, constatent in standing by the doctrines of the past. We think that Governor Marshall completely illustrated insurgency when he said that he did not think much of a man that would live with a woman for twenty-five years and then deny his own children. ssnssEessßasne PLEABED LARGE AUDIENCE.
