RAPER SNEERING . ; , . AT HONESTY k " U:;r. ~.1 14 - ewtttaoti ■< •. ■ xp'jj Because Senator Gqpa was the' cause of starting the investigatlop Ipto, the rotten deal in Indian lands that i unscrupulous speculators were trying io get through congress by hook or 1 crook —by “influence” and briberysome of the republican newspapers are saying that he has "injured himself.” Others besides Senator Gore can well afford to “injure” themselves In the same way. But it happened that the gang that was bent on despoiling the defenseless Indians in, Oklahoma were republican politicians. It happened also that one of these ■ ■ • politicians had offered Senator Gore a bribe of |25,000 to4eo,ooQ and had told him that if hewould join the gang he would have'respectable company, to-wit, Vice President Sherman and other “higher-up7,fellows. Senator Gore at once stood -up in toe senate and denounced" - the He backed up his derations toy his sworn testimony, in Vhich he was supported by other reputable persons. And it was then that * certain class of republican newspapers began a»;, serting that he had 7 *injured himself.” Among these papers is the Indianapolis Star, the organ .<jf Senator BevCridge, and the present republican organization. It should be remembered, in this connection, Mt Beveridge has never disclosed or denounced any of the numerous ghabp. that have been put through the senate since he has been a member. He has been careful not to “injur! himself” in that way. . INDORSING • STANDPATIBM ■’ < | j The republican-eandidates for congress in this state have made themselves ridiculous. Especially is this true of those who have professed (if not confessed) insurgency tendencies. By indorsing Grumpacker of, the Tenth district as their candidate for speaker of the national house they have indorsed Cannon. Crumpacker is a standpatter, <>,He he a CannonAldrich style of standpatter. He voted for the tariff*bttl which Beveridge denounced as vicidui, and which all of the republican Jpsurgents in bther states are fighting- .Nothing 80 thoroughly disclosei/the weakness of the. republican campaign inlndiana as this panicky grasping at the rotten straw of in the'form of the steel trust, congressmen of the Tenth district, “It JBhpwa copclugively that the managerk have no fixed ideas, no honest convictions, ho opinions, views or principles whtih the/' will not sacrifice for a little help from Che "interests” which were so .Joudly/denounced in theii’ritate convention. ; By their present cbi&tfb they have forfeited all right to even respectful consideration. . ABOUT ELECTION FRAUDS The attack made by that staunch insurgent paper, the .Indianapolis Sun,; upon the election frauds perpetrated' in Indiana two yeafrs-ago in .the interest of the republican- state and national tickets causeda great flutter among the politicians responsible for them. It ws#* made plain by the Suri that the defeat of most ,of the democratic state ticket was due to these frauds, but the fact" was just as well known at ,the time they occurred. The thing to do now is. to see that they are not repeated next November. If the republican senate had joined the democratic house in passing what the republican papers called the "Marshall bill” frauds of the kind that disgraced Lake county—and to some extent other counties—two years ago would be impossible. But the Senate would not passihe bill. It is the duty of all good citizens to join the democratic organization in its effort not

They can serve ho good purpase Wrkthoroughly the tariffqjMstiqp InalHUdeUils arpTterir and' htf between. This is due, largely, to the superficiality that is traceable tq so many newspaper establishments. Tpjntting—-deen, earnest solid thinging—is vary distasteful to the average scribbler. ..... ... The Statement has been put forth that those republican politicians whose only interest in political contests eenters about the spoils of office will rally to the support of the state ticket. Bu what if they do? It is not the spoils of office that the people are concerned about. On the contrary it fe thbi homest .and economical administration of public pffices that they have in mind. It is the votes of the taxpayers' that will count this year and not the support of the spoilsmen. Dr H. B. Downs of Danville, lit., ! is a repuoucan wno has -had courage enough to get out for the republican nomination that Uncle Joe must have to get back to congress and the way he dresses down the old war horse is enough to make that dignitary get out his choicest epithets and dust them off for immediate action. The pretender to the throne of Cannon wants to know if the Eighteenth lUinois district republicans with their 30,000 votes are going to send Uncle Joe back where he has become a millionaire oh what the speaker calls 'stary.atioh wages and his charges are direct and plain spoken. Cannon‘will have no trouble in disposing of his trihn and in getting the nomination, but he will to make a campaignfor the electloin.—Columbia City Post -r“ .r i ■ * The rebuff given ■htt. Roosevelt tuesday by the New fork republican state committee which stated decisively that it would have none of the colbnei as temporary chairman of the state Convention In September precipitated a political conflict that ii to be far-reaching in its effects. The first phase of the development hqs already arrived in the form of a stateament by Mr. Roosevelt in which , the former president does nothing short of lining up with the "progressives” in ■ opposition to the "old guard” of New York politics. Discussing the result 1 of the committee action, Mr. Roose--1 velt said: “To the various persons who asked me whether I would ac- ! cept the position of temporary chair--1 man of the state convention I said ■ that I would do sb only if they were sure, after knowing my attitude, that • they desired me, because my speech I,: woyld be of such a character that it - might help if the convention nominat- ‘ ed the right a?man, on a clear t cut, progressive platform; but that it “. would hurt if neither the right kind of > a man were nominated Aor the right J kind of a platform adopted.’’ New ’ York republicans may as well jjclear - decks for action.

He has long been a. prominent arid influential republican. He was formerly state election commieaioner. ü ßut ,b« is riot an Insurgent. In xme of his, lecent published statemerits he sayst r. “Senator Beveridge will not be reelected to the seriate from Indiana, i Why? For two reasons. First, the Indiana legislature is practically certain to be democratic on joint ballot, as it was two years ago; and'second, because should the legislature contain a republican majority, Beveridge could not get the support of a suffi- ' cient number -of the republican members to elect himself.” Mr. Claypool declares, that “Forty per cqpt of the men nominated as republicans for the legislature are known to be opposed to Beveridge’s re-election to the senate, and a sufficient number of those, if elected, wopld never vote for him to prevent his election.” But above all, it is Mr. Claypool’s opinion that the "decided leaning fbr democratic politics,” which characterized the state prior to 1896, . has returned,'and that democratic suo cesn- W: is a* normal manifestation r of sentiment of the people on vital l»v subs.

At the Bosse opera house will be presented the musical farce corned; success, "My Wife's Family," by Hal Stephens and Harry Linton and under the direction of Wallace R. Cutter. It |s one of the real musical comedy successes of the season, and has played to enormous business since it original production. "It will be found by local theater goers to be a delightful and Welcome change, for with one or two exceptions patrons of the playhouse have had a< steady diet of heavy drama and melodrama all season. ' There is a real life plot in “My Wife’s Family,” and it deals with that old story of the hen-pecked busband, the more than usually obnoxious moth-er-in-law, and a family of brothers . sisters, cousins and aunts and so eri, all sewed up in a new/.dressing, so bright and breezy that one almost forgets that he ever heard the term '“mother-in-law” before. The’story !< that of a young man making a determined effort to dispose , bimpedf of the bondage of 'many relatives ,by, marriage. He has one ally, and only one, and the two encounter a of funny experiences and hair-breadth escapes, Which is framed up into 1 one of the most delightfully, ludicrous stage productions of the season. “Jack Gay?’ the husband, interpreted by Giles W. Harrington, and "Doc Kpott,” fake physician friend, played by JoSjy MyliX are the leading comedy doles,'fil'd 1 Ue# h » T ® plenty of witty dialogue, in addition to catchy sengs arid an excruciatingly funny autmnrw bile.
