COMPLETES 7,000 MILE TRIP TO EXPOSITION

George >M. Myer and Party Return From Auto Trip to California Without Mishap. George M. Myer, the telephone man, returned home Tuesday evening from California, where he had made the trip from Rensselper by automobile. Mr. Myer, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Wills, Mrs. Best, and his sister, Miss Myer, of Chicago, left Rensselaer July 6th in Mr. Myers’ tßuick Six for a trip to the world’s fair at San Francisco. They arrived at Ogden, Utah, on the edge of the desert, about July 25th. There they picked up a man and took him with them for the trip across the desert to Reno. The distance across the desert is about 600 miles and it is a very disagreeable trip, three miles an hour being the average speed through the sand. A week was consumed in crossing the desert, or an average of 35 miles a day. The soil is principally alkali and sand and at places the car sank into she soil to the hubs. About twenty cars a day pass over the desert. Not over 50 families, mostly ranchmen, live in the desert, and one night the party was forced to sleep in the machine and in the open. At Cody, Wyoming, they stopped off for a trip through Yellowstone National Park. The park had not yet been opened for automobiles upon their arrival there and they waited a week for the opening, their’s being the fourth oar to enter the park, but they were well repaid for their wait, as the trip through the park was an enjoyabel one. From the park they went to Salt Lake, where they spent three days in sight-seeing. The Union Pacific route was taken to Reno, and a visit was made to Taho Lake at the top of the mountain on the line between Nevada and California. Saacremento was visited and from there the trip was taken to San Frhncisco, where they arrived August 15th. One week was spent in San Francisco, and then the journey home was started. South from San Francisco they went, to Los Angeles, 250 miles squth. One-half of this road is boulevard, and when completed will be one of the finest roads in the country. Three days were spent in that city, then the Santa Fe trail was taken to Passadena, then the desert trip was undertaken. This southern desert trip was much worse than the northern route and the heat was something terrible, at Needles, 2,000 feet below the sea level, the temperature being 140 the day they were there. They spent a day each in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. At Colorado .Springs they made the trip to Pikes Peak in their car, their’s being the second car to make the road trip, only 13 miles out of the 17 of the road to the peak being completed. They also visited Denver, the Grand Canon in Arizona and various other places. From Denver went to Davenport, where they experienced the only bad weather of the trip, the rains making the roads muddy. They arrived in Chicago Sunday evening and Mr. Myers left the rest of the party there and came on home Tuesday evening. The trip was without mishap and was a delightful one, taking it all in all. The car wais in good condition when reaching Rensselaer and not over a dollar was spent in repairs on the 7,000 mile trip and the original tires weTe still in use, and on one of them the original Indiana air was still in use.

Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Bellows went to Berwyn, 111., yesterday for a visit of a week or two with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Murphy.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22, 1915.

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS FORCASTED BY BURGOO

Early Enthusiasm of G. O. P. Exhibits Optimism For Victory at Election in 1916. Special to Republican. % Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 22.- —'Enthusiastic and happy republicans to the number of 25,000 or near that number according to estimates made by several, are today eating “burgoo” at the state fair grounds and everyone seems dead certain that they are launching a campaign in Indiana that is going to give the Hoosier state a republican governor, a republican legislature, and send a republican United States senator to Washington. The burgpo is the result of plans made by the Columbia Club, the Inidianapolis republican organization, with a fine home on the circle. This club had a membership of 1,000 last spring and Lucius O. Hamilton, the president, said the membership could be doubled if the republicans from all over Indiana were invited to join. The invitation was given and already the membership has reached 3,065 and they are coming in by tens and twenties eveiJy day. The hope now is for a membership of 5,000 by the first of January. But to get back to the burgoo and republican optimism. The Webster definition of “burgoo” is a sort of oatmeal gruel. But the republican party has given it a new meaning and following a custom of many years has improved upon the commonly accepted definition of the term and today “burgoo” means a mess of meats and vegetables cooked into a remarkkbly delicious goulash and calculated to make all who eat it supinely happy and anxious to get a chance to vote so that they can restore republican prosperity and • republican management of the affairs of state and nation.

Republicans began to gather in IndianapoM Tuesday morning and they kept on coming all day and all night and all this morning. The Columbia Club was headquarters for all who could crowd into it and the Severn hotel was filled up v-ith the overflow. Candidates were introduced as little bunches chatted and laughed in' the most enjoyable manner and there was never a more enjoyable crowd gathered fourteen months ahead of an election. The crowd began assembling at the state fair grounds at IQ o’clock and there were a number of speeches of the happy sort before the wonderful “burgoo” was served between 12 and 1:30 o’clock. Bands played lively music, patriotic decorations gave a charm to the setting and prepared all for the splendid speeches to be made this afternoon, when James E. Watson and others are to speak. The big and happy crowd and the cheerful feeling that a huge republican success is being inaugurated has made the Columbia Club’s “burgoo” a real conquest in the early campaign. Among those here from nearby towns are Lawrence Lyons, of Brook; Ray Cummings, Cbas. Morris, Warren T. McCray, Simon Dodson and Editor Charles E. Davis, all of Kentland.

Mayor R. O. Johnson, of Gary, and a train load of Lake county republicans arrived at 10 o’clock and were met with a band. Candidates were hi great profusion. Warren T. McCray, James P. Goodrich, R. O. Johnson and Quincy Myers, all candidates for governor; Arthur R. Robinson, James E. Watson, Walter Olds and other candidates for U. S. senator; Chas. Leng and Uz McMurtrie, candidates for state treasurer, and many others were at the Columbia Club Tuedsay evening and had brought with them live-wire friends. Mr. MoMurtrie was the only republican elected in Giant county in 1912 and he is a great organizer of young republicans and will have their support in his candidacy for state treasurer. Republicans are coming back because the party deserves to win and Indiana will doubtless return’ the greatest republican majority in 1916 it ever gave. And the Columbia Club "burgoo” will help.

Hammond Has Device For Controlling Torpedoes from Wasps.

Washington, Sept. 21.—John Hays Hammond, Jr., inventor of the wireless controlled topedo, fired from the shore and recommended by army officials for purchase by the government, discussed with Secretary Daniels today a plan for a similar device for torpedoes fired from submarines. Many torpedoes fired by submarines or destroyers never reach their mark. Hammond told Secretary Daniels he believed he had found a means by which the deadly missiles would be guided to their mark unfailingly.

HILL WOULD LEND EUROPE OUR CROPS

Famous Financier Says America Can Afford to Let Allie Have Wheat and Cotton and Only That. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 21.—Here are James J. Hill’s opinions of the attitude this nation should assume toward the proposed loan to the allies, carefully worked out as he was speeding westward from New York, upon the train which took him homeward to St. Paul after his participation in the great conference between the representatives of the allies and a group of paramount American financial magnates. He believes that we should ma..e no loan to them in money. He believes that we should loan them what they need of wheat and cotton, thus saving ourselves from the worst of the great war’s reactions on us.

Mr. Hill said: “If we loaned Europe actual money we shoul dbe prolonging the war, to our own ultimate loss and to the consummation of further ruin there r and we should not be taking advantage of the one opportunity which exists, in this year of generally large crops, to get good prices for our product. Europe 4rould be able to use the money loaned to her by us for the purchase of Indian, Canadian, Australian, Russian wheat. Ours would go begging for a market but would find none. We would be giving Europe much and taking as our pay disaster.

German Ship Loaded With Dynamite Must Unload or “Beat It.”

Washington, Sept. 21.—Coast guard officials have been ordered by Secretary McAdoo to see that the German steamship Magdeburg gets out f New York harbor or disposes of 300 tons of dynamite it has aboard. The vessel has been at New York ever since the European war began and the war and treasury departments have concluded its presence is a menace. As it can not leave without ruiining the gantlet of British cruisers off the coast, officials here think the dynamite will be sold.

McBride & Groom Have Formed a Partnership.

The following item appeared as a special in Tuesday’s Indianapolis Star, under the heading “Did Anyone Send Flowers?”: “'Shelbyville, Ind., Sept. 21.—1 t sounded like a report of a wedding, jut an announcement today that McBride & Groom had formed a partnership was merely a notice of the formation of a drug company here. Charles D. Mcßride, of Salem, Ind., and John I. Groom, of Rensselaer, Ind., took over the drug store formery owned by Harry Fleming and the ate Omer Doran.” John’s many Rensselaer friends will join with us in wishing him success in his new" undertaking.

Democrats Fear Defeat With Vice-President Marshall on Ticket.

Indianapolis, Sept. 21, 1915.—They are after the scalp of Thomas R. Marshall, retiring and bashful candidate for renomination for the vicepresidency of the United States. It isn’t the Taggart gang in Indiana that is after him. It’s something that really counts in politics this time. It’s the national administration that is after him, and the plans to unseat Marshall from the democratic band wagon are fostered by not a few of the many senators of Washington. This news not only emanated from Washington to the democrats of Indiana, already scared to death because of the reports that the national administration practically had given up winning Indiana again to the democratic column next year, but it is being talked about in whispers and among leading democrats here, who a week ago believed that they would have no trouble in renominating Marshall and thus bringing a pressure to bear on Indiana voters to support the democratic ticket In Indiana—candidates of which are already so numerous that they look like a large flock of zeros.

The report that Marshall is to be sidetracked has caused consternation galore here and plans are already on foot but they will be useless, according to persons who are in touch with the Wilson administration at Wasnington. These persons say that Marshall has done many things that did not endear him to the official populace of Washington nor to the members of the Senate which he ruled over. In the first place these persons say Marshall was too apt to express his own views wherever he took a notion on subjects that were under debate in the senate. Now the vice-president is supposed to keep his hands off of things entirely. Then, too, the need of having a much stronger man than Marshall on the 1916 ticket, in its fight to live down the fiaSeoes, as the mammoth treasury deficit, which now appears, the Mexican situation, the work of Bryan along many lines, and the troubles fostered by the war, has become so apparent at Washington that they are actually talking of running Hiram Johnson, governor of California, and candidate for vice-president with Roosevelt on the democratic ticket, to see if the bull moosers won’t fall for it and support Wilson. Strange to relate, Thomas Taggart and his crowd in Indiana are just as anxious to have Marshall kept on the ticket as Marshall’s friends are. The crowd at the Indiana statehouse, headed by Governor Ralston, know that they cannot win the 1916 election unless some accident occurs, if they should even succeed in putting a bull moose ticket in the field again. There have recently been too many grand jury investigations, too many Terre Haute cases, too many patronage tangles fox Ralston to solve; and too many indictments in Marion county on the charge of election corruption, and too much news of a decidedly unfavorable attitude published about the state machine. Therefore they are doing two things that they think may help them. One is to boost renomination, hoping thereby to cement the party in the state; and the other is to seek by various devices, means to incite the progressives to put another state ticket in the field, knowing it again would run a bad third in the state race.
