M'CARDLE MADE TWO SPLENDID SPEECHES

Indianapolis Businessman Presents Argument in Favor of Return--4 ing to G. O. P. John W. MeCardle, of Indianapolis, made two good speeches to the voters in Jasper county Thursday. He spoke at the opera house ih the afternoon, the rain which came up having made it impossible to hold the speaking in the airdome. In the evening he went to Remington and spoke in the town hall. Mr. MeCardle has for thirty years been in the grain business, was for several years a tax commissioner, and a year ago was admitted to the practice of law' He is not abusive, but extremely good natured and he presented some splendid argument, supported by figures taken from the annual report of the auditor of state, which are conclusive proof of the great increase in the cost of many of the state offices. He said that it cost $99.09 per hour more to haveVfom Marshall governor than it did Frank Hanly and that it cost $186.16 more to have Samuel E. Ralston governor than it did Frank Hanley, and he showed among the expenditures of the last legislature a hhmber that show the conditions that made it necessary for the state tax levy to be increased more than 25 per cent. He_ said that at this very time, after’ having borrowed $685,000 since the July settlement by the county treasurers the call was being sent out to the treasurers for advance payments. He showed that the increase in the state tax levy was costing Jasper county SIO,OOO and that it was a sure thing that the next year assessment would be made on a higher valuation., He spoke of the extravagances in the state house, of the domination by the Taggart-Fairbanks-Roberts-Bell ring and the fact that Donn Roberts, tlfe Terre Haute mayor, was now seeking the next democratic nomination for governor, in an effort to Tammanyize the state. He said that the only successful rebuff that could be handed to the ring was the defeat of the party at the polls and expressed the belief that many loyal democrats would not stand for the corruption. In the evening at Remington Mr. MeCardle made a very similar addre«s>. He closed his speech Jiere with’a Hight of oratory that caused a burst of applause. In Remington W. L. Wood spoke for a short time, stating some of the things which have appealed to him as the duties of a representative. He said that tie would favor economy by urging the discharge of needless employes, of unnecessary commissions and ofthat class of patronage known as , political hangers-on. Mr. Wood made a very favorable impression. Reuben Hess, of Kentland, republican candidate for prosecuting attorney, attended the meeting here and at Remington and circulated among the voters.

BRYAN COMING TO TALK U. S. ISSUES

State Democratic Bosses Want to Divert Attention From Candidacy of Homer L Cook. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. s.—ln a last desperate effort to get the minds of Indiana voters off of state issues, the Crawford FairbanksTom Taggart political machine has made arrangements for William J. Bryan, secretary of state, to make a two days’ tour of Indiana and talk solely on “national issues.” Bryan has always been pretty much of a circus attraction and for that reason it is expected that he will draw well. He has long been rated a first class chaiitauqua card, along with Tyrolean yodlers and the trained pigs. If Col. Bryan was a resident of Indiana the chances are about a million to one that he would not take the stump in behalf of a ticket headed by Homer L. Cook, who was speaker of the 1913 legislature when laws were juggled into the statute books that were not passed by that body. In Nebraska, his home state, Col. Bryan, on more than one occasion, has declined to support democratic candidates who owed their nomination to the machine that controls his party in his home state. It is inconceivable that Bryan would advise any Indiana democrat to support such a ticket as has been named by the brewery outfit that is in control of the democratic party organization at this time in Indiana. Bryan’s record makes it plain that he would be vigorous in his opposition to candidates with such a public record as that of Cook. Col. Bryan will find that thousands and thousands of Indiana democrats have decided to follow his example this year by voting against a party ticket, names solely by an unscrupulous organization. The long standing animosity exTsting between the Taggart machine and Bryan is so well known it is not surprising that Bryan will not discuss state issues. He never could see the Taggart brand of politics with its extravagance, crime and incompetence, and has often done everything he could to further the interests of those democrats in Indiana who are opposed to the machine rather than see the TaggartTerre Haute Brewery Company brand of politics prevail. Another reason advanced for Bryan’s refusal to discuss state issues is his soreness over the treatment he received from the Taggart delegates in the Baltimore convention in 1912. He has not forgotten the bitter opposition he encountered from the Indiana delegates in his attempt to force some of his ideals and principles into the Baltimore platform, nor has he forgotten the opposition that arose in the Indiana delegation to his choice for the presidency, Woodrow Wilson. Taggart and Bryan followers clashed all over Indiana when the delegation to the 'Baltimore convention was made. The Taggart men secretly packed the delegation in the interests of Champ Clark.

Not long ago Bryan -announced that most of those connected with the democratic administration in Washington, himself included, would stay there on the job and would not participate in the campaign. He was still smarting under the country-wide criticism of his leaving Washington to deliver Chautauqua lectures. This it will be remembered, forced him to discontinue and stay at his desk. But now’, notwithstanding the crisis that has arisen by reason of the renewed warfare in Mexico and the European war, he drops the reins in his office to hurry to Indiana in response to a desperate plea from the Indiana delegation in congress to try to save the sinking ship. Bryan’s Mexican policy, his appointment of incompetents to consular service abroad and hisVnumerous other acts have been so laughable that beyond furnishing a' little entertainment for Hoosier voters his tour of this state will accomplish little for the democrats of Indiana. His Mexican policy has been the laughing, stock of >he world and his grape juice diplomacy has caused so much ridicule of Americans abroad that the United States is rapidly becoming discredited.

Baker passed away at 3 o’clock this Friday morning, Mrs. J. P. Green was found cold in death when her husband arose this morning, and Mrs. David D. Gleason died in Chicago Thursday afternoon at about 1 o’clock. MRS. WILLIAM P. BAKER. Mrs. Maria (Rees) Baker was the widow of William P. Baker, who died last Christmas. She was 70 years of age on May 29th. Her health failed after the death of 'her husband, whose passing away she deeply mourned. She declined slowly and her case did not become serious until Tuesday afternoon, when she had a sinking spell. She revived slightly that evening and the following morning only to suffer a relapse Wednesday and after that she failed until the end. Hardening of the arteries and acute dilatation of the heart are assigned as the causes of death. Mrs. Baker was the daughter of Major John Rees, for many years a resident of Barkley township. She is survived by her sister, Miss Nancy Rees, who lived with her, and by two children, Mrs. C. Taylor Boicourt, of this city, and Lawrence A. Baker, who resides in the west. Mr. Boicourt was. in Hamilton, N. Dak., when Mrs. Baker died and the funeral arrangements have been partially deferred until he is heard from. It is probable that the funeral will take place Sunday afternoon. MRS. J. P. GRIEEN. Mrs. Marilla (Carr) Green, wife of Rev. J. P. Green, who had been an invalid for more than eight months, passed away in the night, her husband finding her body cold in death at about 5:30 ..o’clock this Friday morning. He had remained by her bedside until after 10 o’clock and at that time she asked him for something to eat, saying that she wanted some bread and butter. He got is for her and she insisted that he remove his clothes and lie down, saying that she was all right. She ate but two or three bites of the bread and Mr. Green watched her for fifteen minutes or more. She fell asleep and he then went to an adjoining room and went to bed. At 4:30 he awoke and went to her bedside. Apparently she was sleeping peacefully. He prepared breakfast for their son, Howard, and at 5:30 again went to the bed and found that his wife was in the final sleep. A physician was called and expressed the belief that death had occurred several hours before. Mrs. Green was 65 years old on Sept. 3rd. She was born in Erie county, N. Y., and married Rev. Green in 1889. Only one child was born to them and it passed away seven years ago. Rev. and Mrs. Green came to this city four years ago in July and he was for some time pastor of the Baptist church. After coming here they adopted a boy from the orphan school and he took the name of Howard Green. He is a clerk at McFarland’s grocery store and is a manly and hustling young fellow. Mrs. Green had expressed the wish that she be buried at Muncie, where their son was buried and this request will be complied with. The funeral will be held at the Baptist church Sunday morning, at 10:30 o’clock, and the body will be sent to muncie, leaving heie on the 2:01 train.
