Bryan is making them all sit up and take notice at Baltimore. He came up from his defeat in the temporary chairmanship fight with a bland smile and was able to have Ollie James, of Kentucky, made the permanent chairman. He also had Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana, placed as chairman of the resolutions committee. There was a lot of oratory Wednesday afternoon and the convention had to adjourn to shut up the spellbinders. ~ Bryan’s suggestion to make the platform after the candidate was nominated was embodied in the rules committee report. Bryan has been working hard for Wilson and against Speaker Clark. He made a big showing and at the mention of Wilson’s name the convention began cheering and kept it up for 33 minutes. The Clark men insist that there has been no break in their ranks, however. The situation at midnight Wednesday night, when the convention adjourned until morning, was as complex as it had been at any time since the convention opened. Bryan was as busy as a bee all the time and was instrumental in securing a passage of the rule to disregard the instruction of the state delegations except in states where the law is mandatory on the subject. This will secure for Wilson 18 delegates from Ohio, which it had beeh expected would go to Harmon.

The thirty Indiana delegates are all pledged to Marshall and they are standing fast, it is said, although overtures have been made by the Wilson and Clark managers to tempt them away. Taggart is determined that all the support he can control will go for Clark as against Wilson. Tom is believed to be much against Marshall but to be masquerading it with a strong appearance of loyalty. That is one of the characteristics of Taggart and he nearly always gets away with it, too. No nominations had been made up to 3 o’clock, Baltimore time, this afternoon.

W. F. Smith made a business trip to Kokomo today. Mrs. Frank Maloy, of Lowell, is visiting here today. Mrs. Roberts and daughter, Marceline, are spending the day in Lafayette. Miss Floy Williams went to West Plains, Mo., today to visit with friends for two or three weeks.

The broken parts will be replaced by the new ones and the dredge will be in operation by the afternoon. < ; . *

WEDNESDAY MORNING FIRE DEVASTATES FARM HOME.

House on Chamberlin A Martatt Farm Razed to Ground—Household EL fecte Total Loss. A fire starting about nine o’clock Wednesday morning razed to the ground the tenant house on the farm, twelve miles north of Rensselaer, in Barkley township, belonging to John Marlatt and C. S. Chamberlin. The farm is tenanted by John Williams and family. Mr.. Williams was not at home at the time and his wife had left the house to turn some cows out to pasture, leaving a baby and two small childrep lying in bed upstairs. The fire was first, noticed by Greely Comer, who was working in a field about a quarter of a mile away. started in the second story and was under too much headway to be put under control without fire fighting apparatus. Mr. Comer rushed to the house and succeeded in rescuing the children, but all of the household goods, save a few trinkets, were consumed in the burning house. The Williams family was left in a destitute condition, everything being lost but the clothes they were wearing. The house was insured for SBOO with the Continental Insurance Co. Chamberlin and Marlatt have not made definite plans for rebuilding.

Should Bader Be Paroled?

The twin daughters of Clinton L. Bader circulated a petition and carried it to Governor Marshall asking the parole of their father. Governor Marshall favors the parole but he does not want'to grant it if there is going to be any great opposition. He wishes the people to speak in his behalf and has temporarily held up action on the petition. ' - - - ■ ■ • - The Republican has always entertained a feeling of commiseration for Mr. Bader, notwithstanding the very clear showing ,that some of the bridges he built in Jasper county did not meet up with the specifications that formed the basis for making the bide. And we will never believe that he was nearly so guilty as some persons sought to make him appear. He was the business manager Of the Winamac Bridge Co. He solicited the business and filed the bills. He depended upon other members of the company to buy the material and do the work. He could not have been guilty without the knowledge and connivance of other members of the company. He might have been entirely innocent and he acted during the trial like a man convinced of his own Innocence. He did not take any advantage of legal technicalities. He acted like a man surprised when he was convicted. The Republican has always claimed that, although the bridges he built proved not to be as good as the specifications called for, they were just as good as could be purchased far the money his company had charged. He did not defraud Jasper county very extensively at the most and it is probable that with all the savings affected by toe scimming of the specifications he did not secure for his company to exceed |SOO. He has spent a year or more in prison. His business was is left penniless. His wife has become an invalid. His daughters need his counsel and companionship. Almost 500 citizens of his town have asked for his release. Jasper county is now safeguarding its interests by having all bridges carefully measured before they are accepted. The lesson of honesty in public contracts has been taught as completely as it could be if Mr. Bader were required to remain in'prison the maximum period of time. His life has been one of probity prior to his downfall in the bridge business. His reputation has suffered by his exposure and with the stain upon his name he must now stai4 at the bottom of the ladder, practically penniless,

and we believe the qualities of honor, worthy a trial at freedom and that the parole board and the governor will be doing an act of justice as well as one of charity if they grant him release at this time. And we believe that the great majority of Jasper county people will feel that hehas received severe punishment and should be given all the freedom that a parole means. j The law is for corrective and not persecutionary purposes. The people are charitable, even forgiving, and thb law having satisfied its correctional purpose, the people are certainly charitable enough to extend to. Clinton L. Bader his release from prison and an opportunity to engage in some business for the‘care of his family.
