JESSE D. SMITH. Jesse D. Smith, Democratic nominee j for the office of State statistician, is a native of Union county, where he was I born in 1871. He was reared on a farm and received his education in the I public schools and then entered the i school work as a teacher. For several years he was principal of the Brownsville graded schools and proved JESSE D SMITH a popular and conscientious instructor | Later he entered into the employ of j the New Castle Bridge Company, and j In 1901 removed to Indianapolis. He j is now in charge of the contracting and collecting department of the company, one of the most responsible positions in its business Mr. Smith has i always been a Democrat and has made a host of friends throughout the state. T’ ’ office for which he has been nominated is an important one and his election will insure an energetic and earn-S-4. discharge of its duties. THE ISSUES. In his admirable letter of acceptance Judge Parker thus defines the issues of the campaign: "Shall economy of administration | be demanded, or shall extravagance be ■ encouraged? “Shall the wrongdoer be brought to j bay by the people, or must justice wait | upon political oligarchy? "Shall our government stand for ; equal opportunity, or for special priv- | ilege? "Shall it remain a government of' law, or become one of individual ca- 1 price? "Shall we cling to the rule of the j people, or shall we embrace benefi-

cent despotism? 'With calmness and confidence we await the people’s verdict. "If called to the office of President I shall consider myself the chief magistrate of all the people and not of any faction, and shall ever be mindful of the fact that on many questions of national policy there are honest differences of opinion. 1 believe in the pa- . triotism, good sense and absolute sin- ! cerity of all the people. 1 shall strive ; to remember that he may serve his ! party best who serves his country 1 best.” Discussing the state debt in his An- ' derson speech. Hon. John W. Kern, Democratic candidate for governor, showed conclusively that the money comes from a law enacted by the Democrats and that the Republican state officials deserve credit only as agents of the people for paying the debt when the money comes into the treasury. He likens the officials to a bank cashier who receives deposits and pays out money on the checks of the depositor. "These Republican officials,” he declared, "are entitled to the same credit as the cashier, and no more. You paid your money into the state’s sinking fund. They paid it out to the state's creditors because they were compelled by the law to do so.” The biennial convention of the National Republican League at Indianapolis last week was a veritable frost on the party. Seven hundred delegates 1 were expected and there were just 175 ' present. And. strange to relate, the j managers said the small attendance was due to the general apathy in the party. But why apathy, when there is such a strenuous man at the head of the ticket? Senator Beveridge appears to be letting his enthusiasm get away with his judgment. Some of the statements that he is making in his > speeches are so contrary to facts that | one stands appalled at the nerve of the speaker He ought to remember that he is speaking to intelligent people men and women who read and think, and that his utterances challenge their credulity and awaken distrust. Mr. Beveridge has discovered unexampled prosperity among all classes of people, and tells his audiences that they were never better off than they ; are today. Yet there were in his audi- I ence at the time many men who were employed by trust factories and who have been idle for months. According to Bradstreet the number of business failures in 1904 were greatly in excess of the number for a corresponding period in 1903. And this. too. when every Republican la •touting prosperity in our ear*

The average citizen would say that it is an outrage to override the decision of the local boards of review and increase the assessments on land in a county SO per cent and at the same time take the Judgment of railroad. Corporations on the value of their property and ft* the appraisements accordingly. But u tljs jg a Republican tax Soard has done.'and one' of the consequences is that railroad property Jw assessed on a valuation of J?3.oSo.oOO less than it slioidd Te. But. worse than this, the board has really reduced these assessments $16.000.000. when increases in trackage are considered, in the past nine years. When a Republican speaker advocates ’he increase of our merchant marine he means to subsidize certain large corporations, and when he talks of industrial combinations he means the trusts. These are but the polite terms that the "grafters” require the Republican orators to use when speaking of them. The words "trust” and “ship subsidy” have come to be obnoxious to the people, and the Republicans are now employing the milder terms Every Democrat admires William Jennings Bryan and the most zealous of his followers will feel on election day as Mr Bryan feels now when he says: "If Judge Parker could vote for me when the money question was paramount, I can vote for hltn when we are confronted with another and greater issue than the money question ” Ed \ ancil made a business trip to Portland today.
