WHAT A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY WOULD MEAN.

This j raises the question, If workingmen have prosperity under Republican administration, why risk the dangers of a change in political control?

MEANING OF THE RECALL.

A comprehensive view of the lnitiative, referendum and recall, advocated by the Progressive party, is given by Elmer Bassett in the Shelbyvill# News, In which he says: Let us see how the initiative, refer* endum and recall of judicial decisions, when coupled together, will operate By the initiative it is proposed ta provide that when a certain per cent or number of the citlsens of the State shall petition the Legislature to pass a certain bill, the legislature shaC pass the bill as petitioned for. Thea the bill shall be referred to the people at the next general election sot ratification. If the voters vote to ratify the bill, the same shall become I law. Now suppose that A shall sue M and the suit shall involve a mattei and be in reference to a matter with which the said law shall have to d« and to deal; that the controversy shillbe decided under this law. Suppose A shall contend that the said la# i* unconstitutional, that it is contrary to the proyls'ons of our written, constitution, and that the court trying th* cause and the Supreme Court sbhl! so hold the law to be unconstitutional. '* ' Suppose B is a party of means and influence, say the steel trust, harvester trust, oil trust or some other, that he prepares and circulates a petition for an election to recall the decision of the court as aforesaid; that hegjsta on said petition the repaired numbei of petitioners end presents said petition to the proper authority and , me election is called. Now B, feeing a party of great wealth, the steel trust oil trust or tofeecoo trust,- os? some other trust with great wealth, employs speakers to stump the State and yre-' sent arguments in favor of the recti! of the decision as aforesaid, and-dap-pose the said B buys space la the n*w»papers of the State and has pHftfdt and - published in the same their argument for the said recall of said decision. Suppose Ais a poor person and can not present his arguments in the same manner as to why said decision should not be recalled. The people read one side of tee case, believe they are informed and that they are able to vpte intelligently upon the question, and do vpte to recall said decision. What la tee result? A law shall stand on tee statute books of the State, which law ia unconstitutional, and the constitution is overridden and counts for nothing. It is easy for one to aae the dangers of such proceeding and such a law. The fundamental law of the land will be broken down and oar form of government changed.

COLLEGE MEN FOR TAFT.

Appeals to the college graduates of Indiana, regardless of the school they represent, to contribute to the campaign funds of Woodrow Wilson because of his services as president of Princeton University, have not been as cordially received as the Woodrow Wileon College Men's League had. hoped. The league has found that President Taft has a warm place In the hearts of college men, especially those of Harvard College; where he was graduated with high honors. One Harvard man who was asked to give to the Wilson fund wrote to the league: “Because of his unflinching adherence to truth, President Taft deserves the support of every Harvard. man. He has steadfastly refused to compromise with error. He has kept In the straight course dictated anl* ’ by wise and deliberate judgment, uninfluenced by any selfish interests or by any mere policies of parties or pairsons. He has been true to bis friends and true to his noble principles and high sense of duty. "Mr. Taft has fought, and Is still fighting, for the cause of good government, for the cause of progress mid reform under our constitution He stands today, in a greater measure than does any other living person; as the bulwark of our constitutional govenunent against impracticable and vicious innovations * - - - ...
