Eleven Hundred Miles on Motor Cycle in. a Week.

Chas. Anderson, of Chicago, stopped here over night on his way home from Huntington, West Va. He left Chicago last Thursday on his motorcycle for an eleven-hundred-•mile trip to Huntington and return. He passed through the cities of Rensselaer, Lafayette, Frankfort, Indianapolis, Richmond, Ind.,, Dayton, Washington Court House, Chillicothe, Portsmouth, Irontown, Ohio, and Ashland, Ky. He reached Huntington Saturday evening, spending Sunday there, andleft on the return trip Monday morning*

He expected tp reach home yesterday, but near Montmorenci he got on the wrong road and lost several hours. Hg got over, in the neighborhood of! Oxford, and inquired of a farmer the' way to Wolcott or Remington. The farmer scratched his head, reflected a moment, and said he had never heard of those towns. After trying different roads Mr. Anderson struck the right one and arrived in Rensselaer last evening and decided to rest over night. He left a little after seven o’clock‘this morning and expected to' be home before noon.

The total expense of his eleven hundred mile trip was sls. He says riding long distances on a motorcycle is very tiresome and it takes a man with a good constitution to stand the jolting. Strange, isn’t it, that we all of us, nearly all of us, chafe, fret and sweat trying to hold a position in the 2:07 class when we could travel comfortably and have a heap better time with the 3:20 boys?

And on behalf of the whole people it is the positive duty of republicans who have influence to join forces to make the fight unitedly and with the old vigor. The republican party has the best chance in many years, in Indiana, to prove its ability and its desire to serve the whole people. The situation forces to the front some issues that are bigger than partisan; politics. Questions broader than party liner are involved. . “We have every reason to expect a terrific splitup in the democratic state convention when it comes to forcing the proposed new constitution on the democratic party ballot Indiana democrats are no. more revolutionary than are Indiana republicans. Some of the very men who helped put the constitution act through the legislature under the whip are extremely sick of the whole business right now. “It may be summed up that so far as Tippecanoe and the Tenth District are concerned, republicans desire a good organization made with an eye to results. We wish to start off with all republicans satisfied, as nearly as possible. The year 1912 is important nationally. Conditions in Indiana make 1912 still more important within the state. Republicans everywhere see this clearly. That |s why there is such a strong desire for the steady exercise of horse sense In organization matters and in campaign preliminaries ” i L 4 A _
