There are two things in the present campaign that are conspicuous for their absence namely, the full dinner pail and the “rough riders." Can you tell why ?—Columbia City Post. The speaker for the opening of the campaign at Geneva has been changed from the Hon. Dan Sims to Judge James D. Ermston, of Anderson, who by the way is a cracker-jack. Geneva democrats are fortunate in having Judge Ekmston. Judge Ermston left at noon today for Winemac where he addresses a democratic meeting tonight with Hon. John W. Kern. The judge, who is an able speaker, will be act ivly engaged from now on in the state campaign. He has been billed up until the eve of the electoon—Anderson News.

p ’ ORGANIZATION. The Democrats of Indiana cannot put too much stress upon the necessity for organization in the present campaign, it is the one thing that brings members of the party into close touch with each other, that leads to Interchanges of ideas, to wise counsels and to effective work. Without it much of the effort of individuals, how ever intelligent and well meant, is ineffective because it is not made in; unison with the effort of others and is | thus lacking in that broader scope which it might otherwise attain. The , county committee ought to take up the subject at once and prosecute it till every school district is In charge of some earnest, enterprising Democrat who will take immediate steps in organization. Whether the party is in a majority or a minority makes no difference. If the former, no effort should be lacking to make it more pronounced, and es fective organization is the one great factor in its accomplishment; if the latter, the Republican majority may be reduced and thua even a minority county may contribute to a victory In district, state and nation. What is true of the party organization as a whole is alike true of every individual of which ft is composed. Everyone can do something, and where the di section Is Intelligent the effort earnest and the zeal untiring, the work will be effective. The matter should not be deferred but should be taken up at onee. There is no greater thief, with the possible exception of some Republicans whe were employed In the postofflee de partment at Washington, than Pro crastination. It steals time and time in a campaign is always valuable Now is the time for work, and the first work to be done is to organize. This accomplished, everything else will be easy, for on a close, thorough I compact organization all the future; work of the campaign must be based I The State Central Committee must de pend upon the county committees for Its information, and the National Com mittee must depend upon the state organization. Thus, in the very na ture of thing’, the county, township and school district organizations are the structures from which is built the confidence and the intelligent effort that alone can insure a November vici tcry.

Reports from Senator Fairbanks’ tour do not justify the hopes of those who were so insistent on his nomination. His speeches do not awaken any enthusiasm and. though he has been royally entertained by wealthy men of the party, there have been no sreai ueinonsnavions in 111 s uonor. Indeed, some of the Republican papers have mfldlv criticised both the senator's style and the subject matter of his speeches. He has not met expectations by advancing any new ideas, and of course, he is wholly incapable of those flights of oratory which catch a promiscuous assemblage and engender enthusiasm. Everyone knows that the nomination of the senator has not been productive of enthusiasm in his own state He has long been regarded as a cold, calculating politician whose personality is not attractive and who is distantly removed by na ture and by subsequent cultivation from the exercise of those sympathies with his fellows that stand out on the surface and make men popular. In no sense is the senator a man to make impromptu speeches from the tail end of a car. and his attempt to tour the country in such away is farcical. Mr Fairbanks, in a moment of inadvertence. practically Indorsed the ship subsidy bill in one of his speeches. Vx nen be saw his words in print and weighed their meaning carefully. he entered a denial, saying he was misunderstood. Just why he should deny that be is now for a ship subsidy when be voted for a bill that was pending in the senate, needs exi planation It might be suggested that a campaign is now on. whereas one had just been closed when his vote was cast for the ship subsidy steal. It sometimes makes a difference whether an election is before or behind the politician, and this seems to be the case with the Indian senator. It is the “greater issue" that Mr Bryan sees He confesses no change in his views on economic questions. But be insists that these are in abeyance while an issue involving the very existence of the constitution and American liberty is being decided "Judge Parker believes in the gold standard." he says. "I believe in bimetallism. Nit I can vote for him in . order that through him the country may rid itself of an imperial policy.’’

JOINS HUSBAND Rtv Alexander and Family will Begin ' Life Anew. g Mrs. A. D. Alexander, wife of the Alto minister who abandoned' g his pulpit and “ returned to the | world' 'in what is believed will be . ’ but a temporary lapse, has left with her eleven year-old son for Toledo [ * and will join her husband, accept- * ing his professions of deep repentance and placing faith in his prom- 1 Ise of an upright future. It is understood that in his letter to her the 1 Rev. Alexander asked her to sell all their household goods, convert everything she oould into money I and assured her that they would soon build a new home and a new name among strangers. This is ' taken to menu that he huu exhausted bis means before the letter was written and was depending' upon money thus derived to make ; another start in the world. Th£ household effects were not sold, but were left in charge as a friend who will dispose of them upon notice from Mrs. Alexander to do so. Rev. Alexander's downfall the story runs, occurred during his visit to the world's fair, three weeks or more ago. He concealed this fact from his family and friends on his return, but once away from home and its influence* again and the passion overmastered him and he went to the fullest ex cesses. Tue unfortunate affair is regarded a« a closed incident in Alto n<iw. but it has been one that ha» cattsed deep s<rrow for the lapse of a popular pastor. D. of P Notice. All members of the Pocohontas council are requested to he at the hall Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, as there is something doing. , By order of drill master.
