RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY JULY 8, 1912.

FINAL SUMMONS CAME SUDDENLY TO AGED CITIZEN.

William E. Moore, Aged and Esteemed Resident Passed Away Early Sunday Morning. William E Moore, familiarly and affectionately known in Rensselaer and throughout Jasper county as “Squire” Moore,' died, at an early hour Sunday morning at his home on Van Rensselaer street, across from the electric light plant. . For the past three or four years Mr. Mooref had been failing rapidly and on several occasions had for a short time become quite low, but from each sick spell he arose with considerable vigor and a strong determination and although very weak for some months he was able to be on the streets or about in his buggy, driving to his farms, which was a great pleasure to him. A few weeks ago he had another severe spell, and for a time it was believed he could not recover but he apprised his family* and friends by his rapid regaining of strength and for the past two weeks had been considerably better than common. No later than last Saturday he made two trips to the countr.y_toone of his farms. That evening he was feeling as well as usual and retired at an early hour in. the evening as was his custom. At the house with him was his housekeeper, Miss Alma Stiers, and Miss Nellie Reish, a clerk at the county auditor’s office. They did not hear him during the night, but at about a quarter of 7 o’clock when they arose his dead body was found on the floor pf his bedroom, near the bathroom door. It is presumed that he was going to the bathroom when a sudden rush of blood to his head or a stroke of apoplexy caused his dearth. It is certain that he had been dead but a , short v time. Dr. English was summoned and found life extinct but the body still frarm. Mr. Moore frequently arose in the night and when it was dark would always turn on the lights. As the lights had not been turned on, it was quite certain that his death had occurred after daylight. William E Moore was born in Randolph county 85 years ago on Jan. Bth. He came to Jasper county 59 years ago, locating on a farm in Hanging Grove township, about 6 miles east and a little north of Rensselaer. He was a man of rare energy and helped to develop the agricultural possibilities of the county. He was thrifty as well as industrious and accumulated a great deal of property, owning several farms. Recently he divided among his children and heirs about $1407000 worth of property. Mr. Moore was a devout Christian, having been an active member of the M. E. church for more than half a century. He was also a Strong temperance advocate and an ardent supporter of the right at all times. In politics he was a staunch democrat. His Wife dded about ten years ago, since ifchieh time he has maintained a home a considerable part of the time in Rensselaer, having a housekeeper and being visited frequently by his children and grandchildren. Of seven children born to himself and wife, all are living except Frank Moore, who for many years was engaged in the insurance business. The living children are, Mrs’. H. E. Parkison and Austin O.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION AUGUST 6TH.

State Central Committee Fixes Date and Issues Official Call for Making Nominations. / r ■_ ■'*/' The republican state convention Will be held at Indianapolis Taesday, August 6th: This date was selected last Friday by the members of the state central committee. State Chairman Fred A. Sims was insructed to send out the official convention call. The apportionment of delegates is based upon the vote for Otis E Gully for secretary of state in 1910. There will be one delegate in the state convention for each 200 votes cast for Gully, with an additional vote for each fraction over 100 in each county. The temporary chairman will be named by the state committee but has notr yet been chosen. The republicans will name their state ticket when the convention meets. William L. Taylor and George »B. Lockwood are the most talked of candidates. Either should wifi in Indiana this year. Jasper county will have eight delegates to the convention.

Brother Babcock Will Be Supporter of Wilson Ticket

Brother Babcock has decided to, smother his personal views and td support the Wilson & Marshall ticket, distasteful as it is to him, and over the signature of W. R. Nowels, with whom he had a short but spirited discussion about the Baltimore situation recently, it is stated that he never threatened to bolt the Bryan dictated choice of the convention. Mr. Nowels states that he was going to the postoffice after his mail the morning following Bryan’s spectacular charge of “big -business” domination of the New York delegates. Mr. Nowels had read the morning paper and had talked with a few democrats who approved the action of the great commoner. He exchanged greetings with the editor and remarked, “Well, Bryan is going right after them, isn’t he?” The editor replied, Yes, he’s making a damned fool of himself.” This reply did not bluff Mr. Nowels, however, who has always been a firm believer in Bryan, and he said. “Weil’ I think he is doing just right, and I believe that when you talk with the democrats of the county you will find that they do not think he is making a ‘damned fool’ of himself either.” Mr. Nowels says that at this point the editor said that he was opposed to Bryan’s attitude and said that he was going to “fight” him. Mr. Nowelsinformed him that if he did he would lose a lot of subscribers. Soon after the discussion, in which the editor showed some anger, Mr. Nowels spoke of the incident with democratic admirers of Bryan. One of them informed the editor of The Republican, stating that Babcock had said he would fight the ticket if Bryan controlled it. The man also said that there would be an uprising of democrats if he did. And he didn’t. He now proposes to swallow the ticket, Bryan influence, Tom Marshall and all, which means the stifling of his personal opinion to avoid the loss of business. It is well known that Editor Babcock favored 'the nomination of Governor Harmon, of Ohio, who was probably the most pronunced reactionary candidate before the conveption, and whom Bryan had fought from the start He had long ago given editorial endorsement to Harmon, much to the disappointment of the local Bryan admirers. He had also lost no opportunity to take a dig at Governor Marshall, not because Marshall had extended clemency to Bader, but because the editor don’t hold his ability in very high regard. The ticket is, of course, a great disappointment to him, but he has decided to “be good” and to avoid any chance of a subscription cancellation. Mr. Novels’ remark proved very timely, and to him will belong the credit of keeping the county organ lined up for the New Jersey governor.

THIRD PARTY ISSUES CALL TO THE PEOPLE.

4t ■■ Sympathizers Asked to Send Delegates to National Convention to Be Held In Chicago. Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana, the manager of Theo. Roosevelt’s campaign, has issued a call for a third party convention to be held in Chicago on Aug. sth. The territories will not be represented, says Senator Dixon. This as a chance for all who balieve that the way to reform a party is to leave it. It is certain to secure the aid of disgruntled persons and to prove a big drawing card with the fellows who have held office under republican administration and whose terms have expired and who have no reason to expect more favors of the party. The call doeß hot lay down any rules for selecting delegates. The primaries will not be insisted upon. The convention will be called for the singk purpose of gratifying the ambition of Theodore Rtoosevelt, who has been out of a job for four years after having held public office all of his life.

GOVERNOR'S PET MEASURE GIVEN DEATH BLOW.

Supreme Court Declares Hie Marshall Constitution Illegally Advanced and Rules Adversely. r «" The one big act attempted by Governor Marshall has been discredited by the supreme court of the state. The finding of the supreme Justices of the state on the Tom Marshall constitution was made public last Friday and is the final blow to the governor’s effort to override the constitution now in effect by ignoring Its provisions for amendment and to provide a new constitution which had the approval of the governor and a coterie of his democratic advisors. The legislature of 1911, which was democratic, passed the act to place the proposed constitution on the ballot at the coming general election. Judge Charles Remster, of the Marion county court, declared the act null and void, which would restrain the governor, secretary of state and other members of the board of election commissioners from placing the new constitution before the people. The majority members of the state supreme court upheld Judge Remster’s decision and the constitution act is thus declared invalid. «
