RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1910.

Indiana Northwestern Traction Election to Be Held Tuesday.

Eugene Purtelle, president of the Indiana Northwestern Traction cornpans, for which an -election to vote a subsidy in Marion township is to be held in Rensselaer next Tuesdays was in town yesterday afternoon in the interest of the, road. Mr. Purtelle is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the road and says that If a subsidy is voted here, .that construction work will begin here by the first of the year at the latest, unless the condition o£ the wpather prevents. The company has given a bond for $5,000 to commence work within 30 dayq if the election carries, and will be compelled to begin work within that time at the farthest. It is the intention to rush the work from the depot to St. Joseph’s college, and to complete the entire line through the township as soon as possible. An election will be held in Lincoln township at Roselawn next Saturday to vote aid to the road and as Mt. Ayr is very anxious to secure the road an election will probably be held there and in another township in the near future. If the aid is voted the route will be changed so as to run through Mt. Ayr. This will cut out Surrey, Parr and Fair Oaks, the interurban striking the Monon at Roselawn. This would really be of more benefit to Rensselaer than the original route, as it would open up a new territory, not now reached by rail from Rensselaer, and would be of vast benefit to our merchants. The election here next Tuesday should carry, and as nearly every one seems in favor of the road a big majority will probably be given in favor of the stibsidy.

“Farmer” Hopkins Put Under $5OO Surety of Peace Bond.

_“Farmer” Hopkins had his hearing under the surety of peace proceedings yesterday afternoon and was bound over to the February term of the circuit court under SSOO bond. This bond also acts as a surety,, of the peace bond until that time and If he commits any more assaults upon any person during that time, the bond will be forfeited. A. F. Long, the druggist, went upon the bond. “Farmer” paid the fine assessed for assault and battery and was released.

Goy. Marshall Urges Democrats To Stand by Party Pledges.

Democratic legislators who met in Indianapolis this week were told by Governor . Marshall that they should resent any attempt on the part of himself or others to influence them during the session of congress. He said it was their duty to stand firmly on the pledges they had made in their platform and he said: “The party is a traitor if it does not stand by its policies.” He reminded the members of the pledge to elect John Kern to the senate. He also plead for harmony.

Garment Workers’ Strike In Chicago Still Continues.

The garment workers of Chicago have been on strike for some time, causing great hardship to their families. Contributions for their support have fallen off and the strikers are dismayed. Thursday strikers assaulted nonunion workmen that were being escorted to their place by the police. A clash ensued in which a policeman shot and killed one striker, fatally wounded another, and which resulted in several injuries on both sides. The strikers used bricks.

Champ Clark, of Missouri, Probably Next Speaker of the House.

Democratic caucuses are daily occurrences in Washington. The selection of a successor to Joseph Cannon is causing considerable stir in the democratic side of the house. Champ Clark, of Missouri, undoubtedly has the lead and his election seemfc sure. Indiana democrats have failed to agree on unanimous action and seem to be flirting a little In an effort to get oh the winning side. The fact that Governor Marshall is a probable candidate for the presidency makes Hoosier democrats very diplomatic and they hope to gain friends for Marshall by boosting the prospects of the most promising candidate for speaker. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, has been in Washington for a few days and has been putting in some good work boosting Marshall, whom he calls an “old-fashioned” democrat. He tells politicians at the national capital that Governor Harmon, of Ohio, is all right, but not up to the Marshall standard. He says the Indiana delegation to the next democratic national convention will so enthusiastically endorse Governor Marshall that the coftvention will give him the nomination.

“Demonstrated” to Remington In A Gentleman’s Roadster.

N. C. Shafer, the Maxwell man, having offered to demonstrate his cars to us at any time, we asked him to demonstrate us over to Remington a few days ago and he did so. He took us out in the big red racer, which is a gentleman’s roadster and built for fellows who want to “go somV” Its engine has a musical buzz that sounds good and as you speed ever the ground in the most exquisite comfort, you can’t'help but wish that you owned one; not necessarily a gentleman’s roadster but something that approaches the good qualities of a Maxwell. The roadster is a snug built car for two people, apparently for two males, as it is considered that a fellow with a “girl like the other fellow has” would not want a car built just like the roadster. There is a sort of partition between the seats. Just as we rounded the corner to the college road the machine driver let out a little and said something about holding on. It wasn’t hard to hold oh, for the Maxwell rides easy, but we remember that we looked over at the Indian school and then back to see that our suit, case was riding safely and by the time we had turned our eyes to the front again we were going over the slou|h bridge. A large banner extending from the front to* the rear of the ear us from looking to the right and all that could be seen was the left or east side of the road. It was a rapidly moving panorama and although we have made trips over the road a great many times since we started to learn the printer’s trad& on the Remington News way back in ’B9, we never went over there before and observed less en route. Yes, we have traveled it a great many times and have some impressions of many trips, but this trip didn’t give un an opportunity to form any, except to realize that occasionally we went ty a house or a barn, or passed a buggy, and that we arrived safely in Remington in an almost incredible short space of time. The Maxwell is apparently equal to any of the demands made by the public, having strength of construction, a well designed body, a good engine, strong axles and springs and balanced in every particular for speed and comfort. If we had the time and Mr. Schafer the inclination, we would like to climb into his Maxwell red racer and have it “demonstrated” to us every few days. If you want to get some place In a hurry a Maxwell gentleman’s roadster will annihilate space and preserve time better than any modern invention we know anything about. It moves Remington nearer by half the distance.

Government Appropriation May Be As Great As Last Year.

Although Chairman Tawney, of the house committee on appropriations, is trying tp carry out the recomniendations of economy made by President Taft, there Is such a howl for money from all departments will not be improbable if before the session ends the appropriations will be about as great as last year. It now seems probable that arrangements will be made for the public buildings previously authorized, but for which no money was provided in the estimates of Secretary MacVeagh. Tawney would discharge 300 clerks, thereby saving the government about $300,000, but this proposition caused a storm of protest. It has always been the policy of the government to employ extra clerks whenever a special need was apparent and then to adopt some scheme to keep them permanently after the special occasion had passed by. There are now some 30,000 clerks in the various “government departments.
