T. R. Wins Supporters For Hughes In Kentucky.

Asserting that for three years there had been “no protection of our citizens abroad,” Theodore Roosevelt in an address last night at Louisville, on behalf of Charles E. Hughes, assailed the course of President Wilsbn in dealing with Mexico, and his conduct of the country’s foreign affairs. “It combined lofty promises and complete failure in performance. It consisted of words which wore nulified by deeds,” he said in summing up his view of the president’s course. Entering Kentucky in the morning, Colonel Roosevelt delivered more than a dozen rear platform addresses, before reaching Louisville. Crossing the Ohio river at Cincinnati, his course took him almost to the Tennessee line. At Paris and Cynthiana he told his audiences he must be glad to be in Kentucky where, it was necessary, “the people were nottoo proud to fight.” His largest audiences were at Richmond and Winchester.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1916.

DEMOCRATS WORK FOR PROGRESSIVE VOTE

Claim That Most of Progressive Party Platform Has Been Adopted and Ask Their Support.

Democratic campaign speakers throughout the country are claiming that they are deserving of the votes of the members of the progressive party inasmuch as they have adopted the principal planks from the progressive party platform. These same speakers state that they believe in the principles of the progressive party, blit the need of that party continuing has vanished since the present administration has enacted into a law all of the essential planks of the. progressive platform. Arguing that the democratic party has adopted planks which the progressive party advocated, they therefore state that the progressives should support Woodrow Wilson for president. It is not hard to see through the. above argument. It is only a concerted effort oh the part of the democrats throughout the country to again cause dissension in the ranks of the republicans, knowing the only way they can attain their desires is by going against a party divided’ against itself, as was -fee case 1912, when the republican party was so split up that .-it L ’was imposl- - for Wjlsau,MJ&se,_'with a .solid democratic vote behind him. However, the year of 1916 is not going to be a repitition of 1912 and Woodfbw Wilson will have a much harder time in again being placed in the White House chair, as the head odf the great United States of America. The republican party is reunited and pulling together, which can mean only one possible thing—the defeat of Wilson in November. It is true that there may be a few progressives- who will still refuse to vote the republican ticket, but they will be just a mere handful in comparison with 1912, and even some of these who still refuse to vote the republican ticket will remain away from the polls rather than vote for Woodrow Wilson.

The statement that the democrats have adopted the platform of the progressive party is simply another instance of-trying to get the combined vote of that.party. Hasn’t the republican party also adopted parts of the progressive platform? If no;, why did they come back to the republican party if their desires wer<| not accomplished? Why is Theodore Roosevelt supporting the republican nominee? No one -ean -accuse—this former president of being a quitter. The progressives desired that parts of the republican platform be -changed and when this was not granted they formed a party of their own. Why then would they after only one campaign"cbme"back to the G. O. PT if they were not satisfied and had not thought they had served their purpose? This flimsy pretext of the democrats that they are in sympathy with the progressives and that they are adopting their principles is too thin. No one in the country is working harder for the election of Hughes than Theodore Roosevelt, former leader of the progressives. The election of Hughes will satisfy the progressives as well as -the republicans, and this clAhn of the democrats is only an eleventh' hour flirtation that they are carrying on with the progressives in hopes that they can get enough of them to flop to their side to again defeat the republicans. No, no, Woody, you are going to find the going rougher than in 1912.

Indiana-Tufts Game Hardest On I. U. Schedule.

Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 18.—Long, hard scrimmages and stiff signal drills are on the program for Indiana University’s football team, which is working out daily in preparation for its great intersectional gridiron battle to be played with Tufts at Indianapolis Oct. 28. Beginning early in the afternoon the gruelling practice continues until it is necessary to use the giant electric reflectors which have been erected at the field. The work-outs include speedy signal practice, work on the tackling dummy, getting down to punts, charging the line and making interference. Open, _ play generally is getting special attention because of the lightness of the Indiana team and the great defensive game which its eastern opponents have been putting up this year. Both Harvard and Princeton have failed to cross the goal of the Medford players and the only way Indiana can hope to cum the trick is through the headiest and fastest sort of open field running and forward passes. The Indiana team looks good tn makp tike Tufts men play the game of their-Hygs at liidianapolis Oct. 28. 1

How Catarrn is Contracted.

—Mothers are sonictinies~Bo thu uglit=' less as to neglect the colds ’which their children contract. The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life’s burden. Many persons who have this loathsome diseaes will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have been avoided. For sale by B. F. Fendig. C

SOME STATEMENT FROM SUPPOSED AMERICAN

- Secretary of War Baker Compares Washington’s Army at Valley Forge With Mex Bandits.

The following account containing remarks made recently in an address by Secretary of War Baker, should serve to make the blood of any true American boil: “History scholors toddy took issue with what Secretary of War Baker said about the Continental army under George Washington at Valley Forge in a political speech in which Mr. Baker is said to have compared Mexican revolutionists with the “rebels” of 1775-8. The remarks attributed to Mr. Baker in his address are: T know that the Mexicans do not respect life and property * ♦ ♦ But people never respect these things in revolutions. We did not respect them in our civil wan Washington’s soldiers in the march to Valley Forge stole everything they could lay their Hands bn; took silver vessels out of the churches and soldthem to buy drink. They drove ministers out of the churches. Their money was worthless and they were just as bad characters as the Mexicans.”

Francis Wayland Shepardson, professor of American history at the University of Chicago, said: “As a matter of fact, continental money was' worthless and there is no question that the army endured a great deal of suffering at Valley Forge, but that is a tender spot in the" history of the American people. 'I wilPhave to be shown where Washington’s army pillaged churches before I will believe it. They may have jumped on an Episcopalian minister, but only because he was a tory. There are bad men in every army. I can hardly beheve a man of Mr. Baker's education and position spoke as he is quoted,” Mrs. Mary Ridpath Mann, daughter of John C. Ridpath, an eminent historian, said: “Mr. Baker’s charges are absolutely untrue. With my father I have been over all the documentary ground of the revolution and never did I encounter any instance of church pillaging by the continental soldiers. They in no way resembled the Mexican revolutionists and one who says so has ..sadly neglected his education in American history or in Mexican history or both.” James Edgar Brown, an active member of the Sons of the American Revolution and past president of the S6ciety _ of the War of 1 812, made it for the time unanimous. He said: ‘Granting that some isolated cases of depredation may be ascribed to Washington’s soldiers in their march to Valley Forge, does this give a high official of the armistration license to brand our revolutionary forefathers as a whole ‘as had characters asthe Mexicans’? The disorganized colonial government in those days was as indifferent to its defense and the welfare of its soldiers as the present administration is. Washington’s soldiers were barefooted atad without clothing. They were often without food and hungry. Some of them doubtless did forage for food, and history says the patriotic preachers and congregations in some instances willingly sacrificed the silver service on the altar of their country. Having been a student of American history, and for many years historian of the Illinois Society of the American Revolution, I denounce the reported statements and conclusions of Mr. Baker, in the main, as unfounded in fact, untrue historically, unpatriotic and un-American.”
