AN APPEAL.

October 12, 1914. To the Republicans of Indiana: The country needs today a® ®he never needed before, a reunited, militant, victorious republican party. What the country needs it is the duty of every man to give, regardless of personal influences, past party affiliations, anger, pique, resentment, ambition or sacrifice. To fully realize the immeasurable present need Tot the success of the republican party we need but look about us, analyze our own, situation^ 1 or ask any wage earner, manufacturer, farmer—any man in any section or in any walk of life. To the republican party now, as in the past, the country will turn for deliverance. To make the victory certain it is our duty to wage a vigorous campaign. To do this, as everyone knows, requires a certain amount of expense, which,’ by reason of the size of the state, is necessarily large. This is especially true for the balance of the campaign, by reason of the heavy expense of our speakers, meetings and postage.' To provide the money for the necessary expense we have to depend 'solely upon voluntary contributions from individuals /interested In the success of the party and the consequent prosperity of the nation and good government of the state. To meet these financial requirements we appeal to all republicans, to all who are opposed to present conditions in state and nation, and w<? a§k that they send to Frank D. Stalnaker, President of the Indiana National Bank, Indianapolis, and Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, such amounts as they can spare, assuring all contributors that even the smallest sum will be welcomed most heartily.—Republican State Central Committee. Joshua Crowe, 84, is dead. He lived 73 years on one farm near Salem, this state. James Hamilton, 72, fell ten feet from a ladder at Lafayette. He fractured his skull and cannot recover. f Although suffering with a broken arm, James O’Conhel, 14, son of a Bedford newspaper man, covered his route as a paper carrier. The boy fell from a tree while gathering hickory nuts.
