FORMER PROGRESSIVE COMMENDS HAYS

Endorses Republican Platform and Will* Support Cause in Lake Co. Elections This Fall.

Indianapolis, Ind., July B.—Chairman Will H. Hays, of the republican state committee, today received a letter from E. C. Davis, of Crown Point, Ind., who was a progressive in 1912, in which he commended the republican state chairman for the statements he recently issued “to every well wisher of good government in Indiana.” Mr. Davis writes as follows: , “I take pleasure in endorsing every Statement made in the literature being sent out by the republican state central committee, and I hereby pledge you my assistance and cooperation in the coming campaign. “I left the republican party and voted the progressive ticket in 1912 4n the belief that the progressive party, at that time offered the most effective panacea for the ills of democratic legislation. Since then the changed attitude of the republican party, coupled with the pleasant remembrance of its great achiever ments, its position on the vital issues, and among them the tariff question, on which democratic legislation has proved so hurtful, I became convinced that the republican party should be returned to power. Living examples of democratic incapacity are in daily evidence in the administration of both state and national affairs. The party has always been strong n promise and weak in execution; its leaders a/re usually impracticable theorists. Democracy is by far a greater menace to good government today than the so-called republican bosses. “I agree with you that this country needs today to united republishall come to the republic.’ “Yours for the success of the republican party.”

Saw Some Country That Was Exceedingly Dry.

Mr. and Mrs. O. K. Rainier returned Thursday evening from a week’s auto trip through Indiana. They left Friday morning, July 3rd, for Indianapolis, and paid a short visit to theij son, Rev. J. Ford Rainier. They went next to Seymour and visited the parents of Rev. Rainier’s wife. They returned home by way of Frankfort, Logansport and Monticello. At Logansport they visited George Raub, formerly of Chalmers, who is now engaged in the banking business at Logansport. George is a nephew of Mrs. S. R. Nichols and has many acquaintances in this city, who w'll be pleased to learn that he. is getting to the front financially. Mr. Rainier says that the country south of Indianapolis has lost heavily because of the drouth, which has been much worse there than it has here. The oats was practically a total loss, the wheat, which looked like it would run 30 bushels to the acre, was not filled out well and ‘was making only about 18 and 20 bushels. The corn was badly rolled and there was danger of an almost total loss of the crop.

FORMER DEMOCRATS THROUGH WITH PARTY

Convinced That Polity is Wrong and That Crawford Fairbanks, «t al, Control pf Party Is Evil.

Indianapolis, Ind., July . 9.—Two democrats, brothers, one a working man from Muncie, and the other the proprietor of a store in Indianapolis, dropped ■ into republican state headquarters in the Hotel Severin the -other afternoon for a chat with L. W. Henley, secretary off the republican state committee. Both of them made it perfectly plain that they are through with the democratic party. “I have been convinced," said the man from Muncie, “that the democratic notion about the tariff is wrong. Their policy brought hard times under Grover Cleveland and it is doing the same thing under Wilson. And again I do not like the democratic way of conducting the affairs of this state. They have shoved taxes up to an exorbitant figure and there is no promise of relief from this source. Again, I do not like the idea of voting -for candidates who owe their nomination to such men as Crawford Fairbanks, the big brewer, Tom Taggart and Donn Riberts, the notorious mayor of Terre Haute. The brew-, ery interests zfre in control of the democratic organization in Indiana and I am one democrat who will not stand for it. lam going to vote the straight republican ticket from now on. No more democracy for me.” His brother sanctioned his remarks with the exclamation, “Nor me!”

Herman Hordeman received a postal card from his brother, Father W. B. Hordeman, today. It was written in Rome and stated that he had visited the catacomb, seen trip. His uncle, William H. Hordeman, *of Idaho, has been making the trip with him and they will go together to Florence, where .Father Hordeman will stop to visit, while his uncle goes On to Germany to visit his old home and where Father Hordeman will join him later.

ENDORSED AT HOME.

Such Proof as This* Should Convince Any Rensselaer Citizen. The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-citizens, addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one’s experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated. The following statement given by a resident of Rensselaer adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan’® Kidney Pills. Read it. William Clift, 528 College Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely. I didn’t sleep well and was annoyed by a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. I took doctors’ medicine and remedies of various kinds, but found no relief until I used Doan’s Kidney Pill®. Since then my back hasn’t troubled me and I have felt better in every way. It gives me great pleasure to endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all' dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Clift had.

TRUSTEES ARE NOT COMPELLED TO BUY

Accounts Board Decides That Law of 1913 Does Not Impose Purchase of Charts.

The acts of 1913 made it a requirement that instruction by means of. illustration be given in the district' schools off the danger off infections from flies, rodents, etc., and some of the school publishing houses, which are always looking for some opportunity at graft, at once put out some expensive charts which showed how diseases were carried by flies, rats, etc. Then the publishing houses began to circularize the trustees and to point out to them that the law, compelled them to buy the charts. They even threatened to bring suit against the trustees who did not buy and used all the tactics of blackmailers. ' i T® (Xfany trustees took the bait and made purchases, while others decided to await a demand from higher authority.. The state board of accounts was appealed to for an opinion and one has just been rendered to the effect that trustees are not required to purchase the charts. The teachers must follow the method of instruction set down by the law, but the illustration may be by drawings on the blackboard or by observation. The blackmailing publishers doubtless had the law passed with a view to 1 compelling the purchase a thing which seems to be quite common practice, but the ruling will make the purchases at the high prices charged unnecessary. Ruby, 3-month-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Hilton, died a little after midnight Thursday night. Pneumonia, complicated with whopping cought, was the cause off death. This is the baby born to Maggie Curtis and for which a ffather was not found until a few days ago, when Hilton was taken before Squire Bussell on a paternity charge and induced to marry the girl. » , Mrs. Martha Washburn is here from Chicago jfisiting her son, Dr. I. M. Washburn, and her daughter, Mrs. Erret Graham, who is visiting here from Paw Paw, W. Va. Mr. and Mrs. Graham will go to Goodland this evening to visit Warren Washburn and family.
