The biggest type in the office of erery republican sheet in the country would now be need to show the tremendous shrinkage in the raiue of stocks from day to day if the democrats were in power. But they are not. and there isn’t a republican paper in the whole country that can see any polities in the collapse in stocks or the unrest among the people.— Columbia City Poet. This picture of the control of the republican party and the coercion of the president by the trust magnates and the monopolists, should open the eyes of the voters everywhere to the hard game they are now up against. It is safe to say there will be no tariff reform by the coming congress unless enough republican members, forced by their constituents, join hands with the democrats in passing some measure of relief. Some of the things that are being discussed are the conditions that now exist in the world of stock speculation. Things have gone to cussed smash over in Wall street in any number of stocks and yet the men who are.manipulating the game that catches suckers are still [looked upon as the“conservative business element" of the country, as the creme de la creme of respectability and business sagacity. The real truth is that if the people of this country had sense enough to sit down and think cobsecutively for ten minutes they would know that this so called -conservative business element” is a thoroughly discredited class of high binders, freebooters and commercial Bashi Bazouks; that they are robbing the pejple of the country everv day and laughing at them. Take the United -States Steel corporation, for instance, and see what has happened. The officials of that gigantic trust seem actually to be proud of the number of victims they have fleeced in the past year. For Sate—A good horse at the right price at Bnttaun Bros. 218d6

TAGGART'S CANDIDACY RECEIVES WIDE FAVOR

Indianapolis. Sept 28.—The Hon. Thomas Tag gar*. national committeeman and former mayor, has very strong hopes of being elected chairman of the Democratic national organization. yet he dors not want to appear as an active candidate. He says the office should seek the man, and to Taggart s credit It may be said that he is not making any open efforts to land the place. But It is understood that he is receiving offers of support from prominent Democrats throughout the country It saems that many of the loaders regard him as the most available man for the place. Taggart. as head of the nar’nnal organization. would be the real leader of the party, and as he says, it ts a position anyone might be proud of. Taggart was probably never more fit for such •work as is required of a national chairman. When he left the mayor s office he was not in good health and som» of his friends feared he had a chronic stomach trouble, but he has gained wonderfully and Is now looking better than ever before. And it may be said that while Taggart is regarded as a dangerous opponent, he has hosts of Republican friends In this state who are anxious to see him at the bead of the Democratic committee. The city campaign will close two weeks from tomorrow It ts probably the only campaign tn the history of the city that has ended on the thirteenth day of the month. So there is a certainty that many people are going to complain of the "thirteen hoodoo." There never was a campaign in which there were so many predictions No one seems positive of what the result Is Io be. Many Republicans say the Democrats will win. Many Democrats say the Republicans have a cinch So there you are The leaders of both parties admit privately that there Is dieaatinfection tn ttfl" own rsnVa and ssrsreelv

BALL GAMES. Rosenthals Win From Portland. A Team of Printers Defeated at New Haven. Story of the Games. The Rosenthals won in a walk from Portland Sunday, in a game that was interesting nevertheless ■ from start to finish. Tom Railing pitched for Decatur and proved his ’ abiliy by striking ont twelve men ; ' and allowing but eight hits. Coffee caught the game and* did nicely.' The features of the game was a double play of a hot line to Bines . France who threw to F. Peterson at ■ third, a catch by outfielder Peterson i after a hard run. falling with the . ball, the batting of Ted Coburn. . Taylor and Hartzel formed the battery for the visitiors and did very good work, though they allowed fifteen hits. Decatur made one error and Portland three. Deeaur stole five bases and Portland three Moses Krohn and Jesse King umpired and gave satisfaction with the exception of one or two instances. The fire works opened in the first inning when Portland scored a run on an • error and Decatur earned three, both teams were white washed in the second and third but in the fourth the Rosenthals secured a tally. another in the fifth and two in the eighth. The visitors secured their second and lust run in the fifth inning and the total score was'even to two. A fair sized crowd atended considering the cool weather. Score by innings: 123456789 HRE Portland— 100010000 8 2 3 Decatur— '3 001100 2 0 15 71 A team composed of Decatur printers went to New Haven Sunday and were defeated by a score of twenty to six. A pitcher named Brown of Hoagland was taken along and while he was in the box the game was a good one. In the fourth inning with the score four to one Brown was hit on the thumb by a pitched ball while at bat and disabl-' led him so badly he could not finish 1 rhe game The boys say they can beat the New Haven bunch with an even show and may arrange another date.

enough, they seem to flg'rre they can win by getting enough votes from the other fellow's following The coming two weeks will be full of actlv- 1 ity. There is so much at stake that each side Is to make a grand finish. , The candidates for mayor wIU speak every day and night. Senator Beveridge is to speak for the Republican ticket Saturday night, and the party leaders are expecting him to make a hit for them Congressman Overstreet is speaking for the Republican ticket, aim it is likely that Congressman Landis will come this week for a few speeches Most of the speechmaking on the Democratic side will be done by ths Democratic candidates. A meeting of the leading eoal operators will probably be held at Terre Haute within a short time to consider p'ans and suggestions for a mineral exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair. The committee on natural resources has decided that a giant pyramid of coal will be the most attractive exhibit that can be arranged. Crawford Fairbanks, chairman of the executive committee of the Indiana World s Fair aoiamiaalon, will lavlte the operators ( to meet with him at Terre Haute. The largest lumps of coal that ran be secured are desired for the show. | It is thought that the operatnss will co-operate willingly, as it would be a good advertisement of their business.! The pyramid is to be fenced with Tndiasa oolitic limestone and other minerals found tn the state are to be displayed inside. The announcement that Chairman 1 Ed Logsdon of the Republican city, committee Is to become a candldat< i for district ehslrmM hors has erewUc much talk, an Floyd Woods one of I-ogadon's friends, la a candidate for reflection as committeeman. Politicians seem to think there Is a deal oa of some kind, but as yet they have bee* nneble <• fathom k.
