William Guthrie, democratic candidate for state representative, was in attendance at the speech made by Senator Clapp last night. As Mr. Guthrie heard the Senator speak at Monticello in the afternoon, we rather think that we was so favorably impressed that he is almost a convert to progressive republicanism and shall pot be surprised to hear his announcement with-, in the next few days.

Minnesota Legislator Made Address Upholding Senator Beveridge and Proclaiming Insurgency. Senator Moses E. Clapp, junior senator from Minnesota, opened the campaign in Jasper county Wednesday night with a rousing speech that was chiefly devoted to setting forth the position of the so-called insurgents in congress, and showing the causes why their progressive attitude toward evils in national life had led them to being called insurgents. While the speech was mainly directed against the standpat element of the party, the senator occasionally took a swing at democracy and advocated the voting of the republican ticket from top to bottom. The Senator rehearsed a number of the charges frequently printed in the newspapers that much legislation is passed favoring special interests and that the insurgent movement was started with a view to correcting these things and that it is growing and succeeding the country over. He appealed to democrats to consider the reforms and the policies advocated by progressive republicanism and to join hands with the men who are striving for righteousness in government and to lend their aid to the great struggle that will place the citizenship of the country in command instead of permitting bosses to run the affairs of state. He was frequently applauded and especially when he credited Senator Albert J. Beveridge with leadership in modern thought and with having accomplished so much by his courageous attitude for the right. , ... . There can be no doubt that the great majority of the audience was heartily in favor of the speaker’s advocacy of the policies of insurgency, but there were others who believed that his attitude of assault against the party

leaders and in favor of factionalism is calculated to stir up strife that it will take some time to overcome. All are progressives if they are republicans but all are not willing to concede that all of a sudden the republican party has found itself controlled by rascals and plunderers and that a revolt against the very basic principles of the party is essential to the correction of evils that have been uncovered. It was probably unfortunate that Senator Clapp was sent to Rensselaer, for his speech was not calculated to harmonize but to aggravate and in a place where there was perfect harmony and where republicans believe in correcting evils while maintaining organization it could accomplish no beneficial results. The speech made by Senator Clapp makes Senator Beveridge the paramount issue in Indiana and we believe the majority of our people, both republicans and democrats, are interested in seeing Senator Beveridge returned to the United States senate in order that he may complete the work in which he is so enthusiastically absorbed. Senator Clapp spoke in Monticello Wednesday afternoon and will speak in Logansport tonight.

Alienists Pronounce “Shorty” Adams Hopelessly Insane.

Dr. William H. Bohart, chief surgeon of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad, accompanied by two other expert alienists from Chicago, one being Dr. J. F. Hultgen, came to Rensselaer Wednesday and in company with the local physician held an expert examination' of Leonard Adams, the unfortunate young man who is confined in the padded cell at the county jail. The examination was made by direction of the railroad to protect itself against any possible suit for damages that might result from the injury he received by a blow on the head a short time before he became insane. They took some time in the examination and arrived at a conclusion that the insanity was apt to be permanent, although he might have occasional sane periods that would perhaps last for a month or more. They stated that he was insane as the result of dissipation and a wasting of the brain matter through bad habits. Dr. Bohart said that he had attended Adams in the hospital after and that he was not seriously hurt. He was discharged from the hospital and directed to report back for work. The following day he was found in a saloon in Danville, 111., in an insane condition. He was then brought here. The doctors claimed that the nature of his injury could have nothing to do with his mental condition, but they also stated that he was not Intoxicated when found, but had apparently sought refuge in the saloon. Adams has been cared for by Harry Wiltshire, who makes several trips a day to the jail. He eats but lightly and is quite thin. He has not been shaved since he was taken to the jail two weeks ago and presents a frightful spectacle as he stares at one through the little door at the cell. He recognizes acquaintances but immediately lapses into mental abberation. His attendant observed that he had two spoons this morning which he had kept when fed. He took the spoons out of his trouser leg and pounded them together. He gave one up with reluctance but when the other was demanded, he said: “Jesus says wait.” He did not give it up, however, and no further effort was made to get it. The doctors agreed that he should be taken to the asylum as soon as arrangements for his admission can be made.

Rumored That Capt. Guthrie Will Climb on the Water Wagon.

Monticello Herald. It is rumored that Capt. Guthrie, the democratic nominee for representative, after taking his bearings carefully, has concluded to repudiate the state platform of his party clare himself for county local option. It will not be surprising to see him climbing upon John Brown's platform this week.

Jury Adjourns for Term After an Inactive Session.

The regular impaneled jury was adjourned for the term this Thursday noon and permitted to go to their homes. They had a rather inactive session, owing to the fact that several cases that bid fair to occupy considerable time were disposed of in short order, or not tried at all. The cases against Bader will not come up at this term and probably not until after the case on which he was convicted is decided in the supreme court.

Brookins Making Successful Flight from Chicago to Springfield.

Special information received by the Republican at 1:30 o’clock told of the successful flight that Walter Brookins, the daring young aviator, was making in a Wright biplane from Chicago to Springfield, 111. He set out on the flight at 9 o’clock and was confronted—by -a heavy wind from the southwest but he was mastering it, and at 11:15 he passed over Mantino, 111., and at 12:45 he passed over Gilman. The distance he is to travel is 191 miles and he bids well to succeed. Wednesday his trirft flights in Chicago were successful and Rensselaer people who saw them pronounced them very fine. Among others was A. J. Brenner, of the Makeever hotel.

Democratic Candidate for State Representative For County Option.

Representative Guthrie, of Monticello, has addressed an open letter to E. P. Honan, of Rensselaer, who was the chairman of the recent democratic representative convention, in which he accepts the nomination for state representative, provided the party wishes to accept his declaration in favor of county option. In all other respects he rests wholly on the state platform. Mr. Guthrie writes at considerable length and employs a number of maxims traditional to the party setting forth the things that he will stand for if elected. He assigns as his reason for favoring county option, that both Jasper and White counties have shown by their votes that a good majority of the people favor the restricted sale or prohibition of the sale of liquor and he believes it to be his duty to see that the law is maintained and he pledges himself to see that it is kept on the statute books if elected. So does John Brown, who helped to make White county dry and who, in addition to being in favor of the majority control, is in favor of the temperance cause and whose policy is endorsed by resolutions passed by the convention that nominated him.
