REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT AT RISING TIDE

Sumner Curtis Gives An Impartial View of the Massachusetts and New Jersey Results. The congressional elections in the 7th New Jersey and 12th Massachusetts districts last week resulting in the actual election of a republican congressman in the one and the advance of the G. O. P. fioin third to second place in the other, has been a national topic for the past week. Sumner Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald thus analyses the situation: The most significant thing about all the returns to the impartial observer is the disintegration of the progressive vote. All questions of immediate advantage in the tote showing asides it is indicated most plainly that without the personality of Roosevelt the candidate, to keep the bull moose forces together, the next great (battle will be between the two old armies—the republicans and the democrats. The progressive leaders are in the dumps, for it is being shown that it will be mighty hard to carry out their program of keeping congress democratic for another two years merely by keeping up the third party organization. / In the 7th New Jersey district the democratic candidate’s vote dropped from 9,990, received by Bremnor in 1912, to 5,420, while the republican vote Increased from 6,666 in 1912 to 10,620. And the progressive vote dropped from 4,746 to an insignificant 611. The socialist vote of 5,053 cast yesterday is interesting in a sense, but it is not important from a national point of view. It merely reflects a local situation. But, as stated in the beginning, neither the democratic slump nor the republican gain would have been of such damaging significance as far as the administration is concerned had the president and his friends not staked so much on the result in advance.

In returning to their former republican allegiance the voters of this New Jersey district possibly have emphasized disapproval of democratic policies, especially by reason of the fact that it embraced a manufacturing community which is keenly interested in the protective tariff. In this connection let it be said that the tolls question, which was made an eleventh-hour Issue by the declaration of O*Bryne in favor of the president’s stand, did not cut as much of a figure in determining the result—in the minds of unbiased analysts-as questions of economic policy. In Massachusetts the thing most interesting to the national leaders is the terrific slump of the progressive vote from 9,001 In 1912 to 3,502, thereby raising the republican party from third to second place in the district Massachusetts is a stronghold of the progressives, as indicated by recent elections, but the original strength is not being held. In this district, moreover, the tolls question was more of an issue than in New Jersey. The democratic candidate squarely opposed the president in this matter, while the other candidates sidestepped. Democratic candidate received a majority- over both the other candidates, while in 1912 Curley, democrat, fell a few hundred short of a majority. Representative Mann declared that the New Jersey election is only a precursor of what will come. The republican congressional campaign cominittee in a statement tonight says that 'Tn every special Section since 1912 the anti-democratic vote has exceeded the vote cast in support of the administration, thus negativing the claim thgt the democratic policies are being endorsed by the people.”

Recruits For Active Duty Will Be Drilled.

The writer, who is the captain of the local militia company, has believed for the past two years that sooner or later the United States will intervene in Mexico. If this is done the militia of the country will doubtless be called into active service. Militia companies furnish only the nucleus for war strength organizations. The present enlisted strength of Company M, stationed at Rensselaer, is forty-six... A fully enlisted company for active service consists of 108, The recruiting for these companies will not be done at home in ease of active call, but the companies would be mobilized at Portßenjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, and filled up after arrival there. It would be much more desirable, however, if one were to enter active service to go out with a home organization. This being the case, and believing that there are hundreds of patriotic young men in Jasper county who would answer the call of country, it has been arranged to have the armory open on Saturday night of this- week and each Saturday night thereafter and on other nights if there are any who want to so arrange. Recruits will be enlisted and given their first drills, and 'equipped with the clothing, etc. The drills, however, will npt be confined to those who desire to enlist, but any young man can join beginner’s class and receive instruction even though he may not want to enlist. Every able bodied man between the ages of 18 and 45 is subject to draft and should his services ever 'be required he will find it an advantage to have had some military training. He will be better able to render valuable service to his country and better able to protect 'himself. If we should intervene in Mexico there would be many hardships. None should consider enlistment who lack the devotion to their country that will make them uncomplaining servants in time of danger. Not much of a soldier would result if his love of country was not sufficient to overcome his timidity and to nerve him to endure the exegencies necessary to. sustain his country’s cause. The offer to give some preparatory training to all who wish to come contains no obligation of enlistment. All that is required is that strict adherence to military discipline and authority be observed. Should any care to enlist they will be given the medical examination anrj their applications taken.

Funeral of Mrs. Earl Duvall Will Be Held Friday Afternoon.

PRESIDENT SHOWS DETERMINATION

Huerta Can No Longer Evade and Temporize—Nation* Will Stand Firmly By Wilson. President Wilson did not bact up one particle Wednesday an his attitude demanding thorough reparation from Huerta for the insult heaped on this government by the arrest of a deputy U. S. paymaster and several blue-jackets. He sent positive information to Huerta through Crage O’Shaughnessy that the salute to the American flag must be given just as demanded and that the demonstration of battleships would not only take place in the Gulf nf Mexico but also on the pacific coast, totally blockaded intervention in Mexico and his the assembled battleships would be the greatest fighting force the United States has ever assembled on sea. Huerta said that he thought the questions involved should be arbitrated before The Hague, and President Wilson replied that the nation’s honor was not a subject for arbitration and that this country would handle the question without outside influence. President Wilson seemed to have his “dander” up for the first time since he became president and he made it mighty plain that the methods of ■ evasion and delay which Huerta has depended upon in the past will avail him nothing now. President Wilson has certainly ■dealt patiently with Huerto and Villa in trying td bring about an amicable adjustment of the warring factions in Mexico and has withstood many insults and made many sacrifices in an effort to avoid armedd intervention in Mexico and his policy of “watchful waiting” has met general approval, we believe, irrespective of politics. However, our people have generally been of the opinion that ultimately intervention must come and When the right time arrives the president will find a patriotic nation isady to support him in any policy he adopts. If it should now be the decision of the president and his advisers that the United States shall take a more aggressive attitude, we believe the president will find that he is backed by the solid approval of a great nation, for he has used every care, it would seem, to avert this result.

Received Sad News of Her Mother’s Sudden Death.

Mrs. J. W. Crooks this Thursday morning received a telegram imparting the sad news that her mother, Mrs. L. C. French, was dead. The news came as a great shock as only last Friday she had received a letter from her mother, and it stated that she was in her usual excellent health. Mrs. French’s home was at Mount Vernon, Ind., but her death occurred at Petersburg, where she was visiting. The funeral will be held at Mt. Vernon Friday of this week. Mrs. French would have been 81 years of age the 18th of June. She had enjoyed remarkable health and her .death came as a great shock to Mrs. Crooks, with whom she had visited three weeks since Christmas. Mrs. Mrs. was the mother of thirteen children, ten of whom, 6 sons and 4 daughters, survive. She also raised three other children. She was a woman of unusual ability and her fine health was the marvel of all her family. This fact made the news-of her sudden death a great shock to them. Mrs. Crooks will go to Mt. Vernon to attend the funeral, probably going to Chicago first to a brother, who resides there. Tnl sympathy of the community will go out to Mrs. Crooks in her great loss.

A Great Many Will Erect Sleeping Porches This Year.

Quite a number of Rensselaer people will erect sleeping porches this year, in order to avoid the sultry, sweltering heat of the house. Photographer Parker has plans made for erecting a double deck porch at his home on Milroy avenue and College road. The porch will extend across the south side of the house and around to the west and will be entirely enclosed with screens, both floors. The old buildings are to be torn away and the house further improved, by increasing the capacity of the basement and installing a laundry room. A bath room will be added above and waterworks installed, greatly improving the residence both in appearance and as a matter of convenience. R. D. Thompson is also to erect a double decked porch, the upper floor for sleeping purposes, to his residence on Milroy avenue. E. J. Randle, who has been making a number of improvements in the former J. T. Randle property, just vacated by Geo. H. Healey, will probably build a sleeping porch during the summer. A heating plant is also to be installed in the house. There will be even more building than heretofore Stated in The Republican, a number of others considering the building proposition, including S. C. Irwin, who will probably build in the Fred Phillips’ addition.

“Weeding Out” Has Started But “Lefty” Still With Squad.

An Adrian, Mich., dispatch to the Detroit Free-Press under date of April 13th, says: “Manager Cristall, of the Adrian team of the Southern Michigan league, now has a healthy looking squad of candidates on hand. The pitchers and catchers, numbering 14, are working out twice a day. Manager Cristall js teaching his youngsters the art of twirlign. Clark, a southpaw from Rensselaer, Ind., is showing excellent form and bids fair to land a berth with the locals.” The only other pitcher mentioned is Fleischman. A short letter from Clark expresses some doubt as to whether he will be able to withstand the final application of the pruning knife. He says that four of the squad have been released. He has hopes of lasting until the first of May, according to his modest way of putting it. Adrian papers praise the work of Clark highly, making him a head liner on the sporting sheet. Clark, as is well known, has marvelous control, putting the ball wherever he wants it. This is a great advantage. He says that Manager Cristall is giving the squad lota of practice and that he is paying close attention to everything that the manager says. So far the pitchers have thrown no curve balls, simply acquiring speed and control until the arms are strengthened. Nothing ruins a throwing arm so quickly in the spring as to throw curves. When Clark gets his “precipice” drop to working it is probable that Manager Cristall won’t let him go on a bet
