Warm Floors and Healthy Children Make Happy Homes There is no better way for you to avoid worry and expense than by insuring your children’s health. Warm floors in the home> which is the children’s play house in winter, are assured when using Cole’s Original Hot * Blast Heater. The steel base and body construction allows the heat to be radiated to the floor keeping it warm during the coldest weather. Cole’s Original Hot Blast Heater The Cleanest'—Easiest to Care For Burns Soft Coal, Lignite, Hard Coal, Crushed Coke, Wood and Cobs. Users of coal must remember that the ordinary heater is a big care to operate. That its smoke and ashes entail dusting, curtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the ease of operation and the cleanliness of Cole’s Hot Blast. Cole’s Hot Blast has a guaranteed smoke-proof feed door—open the feed door and the current of air draws the smoke directly across the top of stove to the stove pipe—away from the opening. Contrast this simple, cleanly feed with the side door in an ordinary heater. The side door used on other stoves permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and . accumulated soot drops from it. If you overfill a side door stove, coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot ( make a side door heater air-tight—an everlasting advantage in favor of Cole’s Hot Blast which is air-tight and guaranteed ; to remain so always. : K Np fires to build—die fire is never out in this remarkable beater from fall until taken down in the spring. / i ' Better select one today—surely it is the heater you need— Warner Bros.

KANSAS IS REPUBLICAN

Roosevelt Strength Aniohg Voters Is Decreasing Perceptibly Throughout State. Topeka, Kah., Sept. 23. —Notwithstanding the enthusiasm which has always existed in Kansas for Theodore Roosevelt, it is undeniable that his strength as. a presidential candidate is decidedly waning throughout the state. If he were the candidate of the Republican party, and if there were a chance of his election, he would, of course, sweep the state without any serious opposition. But neither of those conditions exists. The fact that his otvn leaders have been obliged to yield to the wave of indignant protest which swept against them on account of their effort to have Roosevelt’s electors placed In the Republican column has not only proven the strength of the Taft sentiment, but It has eliminatetd all possibility of Roosevelt carrying the state. The withdrawal of his electors from the Republican columns has emphasized the fact that he is not the Republican candidate; and Kansas is too* well satisfied with the conditions which have prevailed during the past sixteen years to follow any man, however popular he may be, out of the Republican party. The Roosevelt sentiment has been further weakened by the universal conviction that there is no possibility of his election and that the only effect his candidacy can possibly have is to expose the country to the danger of a Democratic victory. Kansas is as far from being a Democratic state as it ever was and with the substantial collapse of the Roosevelt campaign, this state will be found in its accustomed place near the head of the Republican column.

LOSING IN NEBRASKA.

Progressive Party Will Die Before Election Day ’Comes Around. Reports from Nebraska show that the Roosevelt sentiment Is decreasing. “The Third Term party,” says one letter to Director Mulvane of the western bureau of the Taft campaign, “is dwindling down to Pops.” James H. Clark of Hastings, Neb., president of a large company which handles investments, securities and farm mortgages, and who has exceptional opportunity to know the feeling among the farmers, says that in Nebraska the farmers are beginning to realize that if they followed Roosevelt they will land nowhere, and if they allow a Democratic president to be elected, they will be ruined. In Lincoln, Neb., the Third Term party had difficulty in securing even two hundred and fifty signers to a petition for their county convention. “The Progressive party will die before election,” says one report “Sentiment is looking better for Taft every day."

WHY ROOSEVELT IS LOSING GROUND

Lifelong and loyal Republicans will not follow him out of the Republican party. The American people will not gratify the disappointed ambition of a man who, in a spirit of revenge, would wreck the Republican party because it refused him a presidential nomination. The country does not want for president a man who eagerly grasps at every wild and radical theory merely to gain votes. Honest men will not support a candidate who instituted dishonest contests to help his nomination and who accepts money for his cam-' paign from the Harvester and Steel trust directors. Thousands of Republicans do not believe that men of unblemished character who disagree with Roosevelt are thieves and liars. Right-thinking people cannot trust a candidate who violates bls solemn Diedges. Republicans are beginning to realize that the only possible effect of his candidacy may be the election of Wilson, and they are not willing to bling upon the country the disaster of a Democratic administration merely to gratify one man’s hatred or ambition. The people win not Mexicanize the United States by electing to the presidency a man whd declares that he sees no objction to any number of terms provided there is a recall. That is, if again made president he would expect to remain in that office until the people drove him out. What Washington would not take, what Grant could not get, Roosevelt shall not have.

THE SETTING SUN

It Shows That the Roosevelt Movement Is Now on the Decline. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 30. — A careful canvass has been made of the Roosevelt sentiment in every county in this state. The inquiry was started by a prominent business man of this city, who was anxious to learn for himself the true condition of affairs. He sent out a large number of letters to men in each of the counties who were not politicians and would have no incentive to falsify the situation. The replies showed that in every county in the state, with one exception, there had been a marked deerease in the Roosevelt sentiment. The opinion was universally expressed that the Third Term candidate had fewer followers now in Indiana than at any time since the campaign opened and this number was steadily decreasing. A few of these Reports summarized are as follows:

White county—“ Ours is an agricultural community and the farmers all seem satisfied with conditions and are not calling for a change. I see no evidence of Bull Mooseism spreading. On the contrary* it is weaker than at first.” Steuben county—“ The Third Termers are on the down grade and will not be as strong a month later as they are now." Lake county—" Sentiment for the Progressives is weakened, especially among the farmers. Sentiment is growing more and more favorable to the administration." Montgomery county—" The Bull Moose sentiment here is waning. The Third Term party is losing as the campaign progresses.” De Kalb county—“ There will not be many Bull Moose voters here. Taft will get some Democratic votes — quite a number." Miami county—" The changes are now coming all our way. There are no more desertions from the Republican ranks.” Tippecanoe county "The Bull Moose sentiment is subsiding.” Reports from Allen and La Orange counties are to the same effect.

Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit and Is Rapidly Receding. Reno, Nev., Sept. 26.—The decline of the Roosevelt movement, noticeable throughout the country, Is very apparent in Nevada. “The interest in the Bull Moose movement is crystallized in Roosevelt,” says the Evening Gazette, “and that interest is waning." The Gazette further states that Roosevelt’s disappointing speech in this state, the fact that he is receiving funds from George W. Perkins and is being supported only by cast-off politicians, are drag-stones about his neck. The Gazette sums up the situation In Nevada as follows: "Roosevelt has reached the limit of his power and is sliding back rapidly.”

CANVASS OF INDIANA

SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA

SPLENDID MEETING OF MISSIONARY WOMEN

Hammond District Meeting Brought Sixty Delegates, Representing Every Church in District. ' ; X : ——- ———~~~, . i—The forty-second annual meeting of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Hammond district of the Northwest Indiana conference, which convened in Rensselaer Thursday, has proved a very Interesting meeting. To begin with sixty delegates were in attendance, representing every church in the district that has a society of this kind. The ladies were entertained in the homes about Rensselaer and everything done for their comfort. The program at the church occupied the time of the delegates quite completely. Mrs. W. W. Worthley, of Michigan City, president of the district, called the meeting to order at 1 o’clock Thursday afternoon and delivered a keynote address that started the meeting off in good earnest style. Mrs. T. J. Everett, of Brook, conducted the devotional service and Mrs. A. A. Fell delivered an address of welcome, to which Mrs. A. T. of Valparaiso, responded. Following the roll call of ofiicers and auxiliaries, the auxiliaries reported. The district had pledged $2,000 for the work and the report showed that the pledged amount had been raised and exceeded, the amount being $2,169.38. The Rensselaer auxiliary raised $163.00 of this amount, which was the most raised by any auxiliary. The auxiliaries raised a total of $1,815.20, the Standard Bearers raised $194.30; the King’s Heralds raised $57.27 and the Little Light Bearers raised $102.61. Kentland exceeded among the Standard Bearers and Francesville among the King’s Heralds. The report was very gratifying to all the officers and members. At 4 o’clock the school children of thte grades were taken to the church, and witnessed an interesting program which Miss Emma Knox, the returned Chinese Missionary, had arranged. The infant classes of the M. E. church sang in a most pleasing manner and the girls from the Monnett Home also sang pleasingly. Miss Knox appeared in Chinese, costume and told of the customs of the Chinese people and exhibited a number of. curios, delighting the school children and at the same time instructing them so plainly that the least could understand. In the evening the devotional service was conducted by Mrs. Dorothy Hart, of Wolcott. Mrs. M. D. Gwin played a piano solo and Misses Mary Harper and Georgia Harris sang a duet. Miss Knox again spoke of the missionary work in China- Her address proved very interesting to. the large audience. This Friday morning a “love feast’* was led by Rev. Harper. Miss Stella Meeker, of Crown Point, read a splendid paper entitled ‘*lf.’’ It served to enthuse all to greater effort invtheir missionary work. The election of officers followed.

MORE FINE TRAINS ON MONON ROUTE

Palatial Passenger Trains to Run Between Chicago and Louisville As Nos. 5 and 6. Monon passenger trains No. 5, leaving here at 11:18 a. m., southbound, and No. 6, leaving here at 3:37, for Chicago, are being newly equipped. They are to have new coaches of a bright color, the latest in design and up-to-date in furnishings. The new trains will be known as “The Kentucky Colonel,” and “Windy City Special.” They will resemble the “Hoosier Limited,” running between Chicago and Indianapolis. The new trains will be on exhibition at the principal towns along the road from Chicago to Louisville. The new coaches have arrived at Indianapolis and are to be broken in on the “Hoosier Limited.”

HARRY KELLOG, OF MONON, LOST LIFE

Monon Brakeman Killed While Making Coupling at Monticello Thursday—Lived Few Hours. Harry Kellog, a brakeman on the local freight between Monon and Indianapolis, lost his life at Monticello. Thursday afternoon. He was making an air coupling and a drawbar on one of the cars broke and he was crushed between two strings of cars. One leg was badly mashed and he received internal injuries. He was placed on a train and started to the Lafayette hospital, but died when Reynolds was reached. He was a single man about 25 years of age. The rush abodt a printing office on some publications days causes somp queer mistakes. An item about a baby born to Mr. and Mrs. Roe Yeoman at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A K. Yeoman, did not state the sex of the child in the Evening Republican, while in the Semi-Weekly it was 'printed that the child was a girl. It was, however, a boy, doubtless just what the father and grandfather were most hoping for, and a mighty fine boy, too, which will secure for the father the congratulations of his many friends.

TAGGART COLLAR IS WORN BY RALSTON

Political Record of Democratic Candidate Shows Close Relation to Brewery Machine. S. M. Ralston is reported as having said in a speech at Salem, Ind.: “I learn that Mr. Beveridge pointed out in effect why I should not be made Governor of Indiana because of my relation with, certain men whom he denominates as bosses. This is legitimate argument, and I take no exceytion to it. If Mr. Beveridge can point out to the people of Indiana that * relationship ever existed between me and any man, or combinalon of men, in this State or elsewhere, that would make it unwise for the voters of Indiana to support my candidacy, it in his duty to do so. I go further than, that. If there is a voter in the State of Indiana who knows that I sustain a relationship with any man, or combination of men, -that would be likely, in his to influence me against the public welfare, in the event that I am made Governor, it is his duty as a citizen to. withhold his support from me.” The people generally remember wen the methods which Were used by the Crawford Fairbanks-Tom Taggart brewery machine to force every aspirant for the Democratic nomination for Governor out of the way in the interest of Mr. Ralston’s candidacy. The last to be forced out was John W. Boehne, Congressman from the First District, who as Mayor of Evansville, had compelled the breweries and the saloons to obey the law. Crawford. Fairbanks did not want him. He usually knows the men, he selects the favor and has a fair idea as to what! they are likely to do If elected. Rd-, membering these things, thousands or Democrats would have gone quietly at the polls and voted against Ralston without any noise about it before* hand. But here Ralston proposes a direct challenge. He can only be judged by his record, by the past. Thus we must form our belief as to what he will do. Judging by his past record, it will be worth about a million dollars to French Lick as the new, state capital and about that to the lawless brewery machine to have Sam Ralston in the Governor’s chair.

“I am and have always been a party man,” said Ralston. That statement la incorrect. Mr. Ralston has not been a party man, but a machine man, always. His allegiance to Thomas Taggart and his machine has always been greater than his allegiance to the Democratic party. He has not served the Interests of the masses of the Democratic party. He has been ever ready to override the will of the majority of the Democrats of Indiana to serve the will of a small and mercenary minority representative of the machine. Can he point to a single Instance wherein he has ever opposed the wishes of Fairbanks and Taggart? Can he point to a single instance wherein in any important matter he has ever had a policy, a thought, or a principle of his own? Has he not drawn his political life and'being for years Has he not been Taggart’s messenger boy, willing to* perform the most menial and degraded services at the behest of the boss? Can he show a solitary instance where in personal gratitude for past favors was ever evidenced by him, provided that his master forbade it? Has he not turned down his friends and consorted with his personal enemies at the mandate of Taggart? Can any one doubt, can Ralston deny that in case of a vacancy in a United States Senatorship he would n appoint to the United States Senate the man who got 21 voters outside of the stolen Marion County delegation in opposition to Kern? , Democrats who have suffered all. kinds of frauds, intimidation, remember these things too well to be killing to accept Ralston’s explanation. He would .not be the real Governor if elected. The real Governor would be Taggart, the sub-boss, the lieutenant of Crawford Fairbanks, king of the Democratic party of .Indiana. The proscription of all who will not wear the collar is notorious. No matter what services one has performed for the Democratic party, nothing counts in Indiana under this despotism except wearing the collar of faithful ser-i villty to the machine. No better ex-f ample of this servility can be found than Ralston. If the people of Indiana want to place servility before ability, if they want to condone'the methods of terrorism and thuggery which have made the name “Indiana Democrat” a badge of servitude the country over, they should elect Sam Ralston. But if the example of Governor Wilson in smashing the New Jersey machine is to be simulated, it would be kindness to themselves and to the future of the Democratic party in Indiana for Indiana Democrats to refuse to ratify and condone the debauched methods which made Sam Ralston the candidate for Governor of Indiana. Would Ralston, if elected Governor, use his influence in favor of an effective precinct primary election law? He would hardly favor a measure which would destroy the Fairbanks-Taggart machine. He would probably remember the scriptural injunction “Reme» ber thy creator.” The whole power of the Governor’s office would be used to strengthen the machine and its despotic authority. ' ’ •
