Hughes Money Swamps Market in Washington.

Washington, D. C., Nov. I. Hughes money has swamped the betting market in Washington. Little Wilson money'is in sight, and Wilson backers are asking odds even greater than those reported from New York, according to hotel and club men here. Today a wager of S6OO to SSOO with Hughes the favorite, was placed. An offer of SI,OOO on Hughes at odds of 10 to 9 was not covered. ' Two newspaper men, each explaining that be is merely an agent, insist that they have an aggregate of $26,000 to place on Hughes at odds of 10 to/9 and can not find “coverers.”

The Evening Republican.

WILSON AND MEXICO. Wilson says Mexico should be left to work out its own destiny. Yet he overthrew the established and recognized government in Mexico, invaded the country twice and by- manipulating che embargo on arms favored first this and then that, bandit chief. RURAL CREDITS. The democrats are appealing to the farmers on account of their new rural credit laws. Experts of all political parties who have studied it condemn it. The law was framed to help the southern plantation owners, not the farmers of the north, east and west. It is so drawn that the wealthy farmer can get plenty of money which he doesn’t need, but the poor one, trying to get a start, is as bad off as ever.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY. The democrats in 1912 promised economy in government. Their pork barrels have been the biggest on record, providing for improvement of southern streams which a child can jump across, and government buildings in southern towns of 1,500. Hundreds of jobs have been created for “deserving democrats.” The present congress is a three billion dollar congress.

UNDERWOOD PROSPERITY. The democrats claim that the Underwood law is responsible for our present prosperity, confined chiefly to the munitions belt. Yet in 1914 there were thousands bf expty box cars an the side tracks of the country, hundreds of thousands of idle men, bread and soup lines in the big cities, all under the Underwood law. It was only after Europe began to' demand the products of our factories that we were rescued from stagnation and disaster, and at a fearful cost of blood and horror in Europe.

S’he Cincinnati Enquirer straw balloting in Indiana continues to be interesting. The latest installment of votes total- of 3,469 for Hughes and 2,854 for Wilson. Goodrich runs slightly behind Hughes, his figures being 3,238, but Adair, with 2,515, falls much farther behind Wilson. Watson and New continue to lead Taggart and Keim in the senatorial race. Mr. New has a vote of 2,661 to 229fWbr Kern. Watson runs.decidedly al,.ead of Taggart, 2,492 to 2,096. Scattering votes are few and only fourteen represent themselves as undecided. These votes are taken on trains and in hotels and shops, and while they are “straws,” they are taken impartially and are honestly significaht of coming results. They show a drift in all quarters toward the republican ticket and sustain the estimates arrived at by more systematic and scientific methods at republican headquarters. The figures are significant and encouraging.

SOMETHING NEW We’re showing some very , clever Pinch Back model suits and overcoats, Society Brand and Fashion Park. — Hilliard & Hamill. .- 1 * New York dity eats two and a half million dollars’ worth of food daily. Suede and- Reindeer leather vests, $5 to s7.so—Hilliard & Hamill. A Flathead Indian won the premium for the best wild timothy at a county fair held in Montana. He raised it on the sod roof of his cabin.

HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR

THE MAIN ISSUES SUMMARIZED

THE DRIFT TO HUGHES.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA. THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1916.

I PREPAREDNESS. 1 The say they are in favor of preparedness, though Wilson says we proud to fight. The principal reason they want preparedness seems to be so they can have excuse, for levying taxes to make up the Underwood deficits. The republicans favor preparedness and they- want it • scientifically and economically done. • This means doing it under a republican business administration and not through the precepts of Wilson psyi chology.

KEEPING US OUT OF WAR.

The democrats say Wilson*kept us out of war. Yet we stormed and captured Vera Cruz, invaded Mexico, engaging in many battles, lost scores of ’ men in a massacre at Carizal, have had one American town invaded and ravaged, and have accomplished nothing except sending thousands of boys to the border to bake in the sand and fight tarantulas. And we have had .a war tax, too, and a war :n Haiti, which country seems to be about Wilson’s size. And if the present- weak and wabbling international policies are continued we will inevitably drift into war, not out of it.

WILSON VS. HUGHES. The republicans are not ashamed to compare presidential candidates. Wilson is an academic theorist, a web spinner and note writer, an egoist who would say with King Louis, T am the state,” reducing congress to an abejet .slave. He has earned for us the derision and contempt of the other nations of the world. Hughes is a lawyer, a jurist, and a statesman. Everybody remembers his fine record as governor of New York. Every holder of a life insurance policy in th 4 United States owes Hughes a vote and a personal debt of gratitude. “By their fruits shall ye know theip.” Think it over.

Voters Should Go Early to The Polls Next Tuesday.

The voters of Jasper county are urged to go to the polls eaily next Tuesday morning. The polls will close at 6 p. m., in order ! that the counting of the votes may I start and the official count forwarded to headquarters. There is no excuse for a voter waiting until a late hour to cast his ballot. Jn some of the precincts the registered voters are many and if they do not keep the polls inhabited throughout the day there may be some who will not get to vote if the warning is not heeded. There is no reason in many of the precincts why all the voters should not have their ballots cast long before the time of the closing of the polls. In Jasper county there are six precincts in which the registration exceeds the number supposed to vote in a precinct, 250. The precincts in which this is true are a follows: Marion Nos. 1, 2 and 4,3 TO, 356 and 352 respectively; Barkley East, 330; Carpenter south, 252, and Wheatfield, 280. If there should be 25 or 30 voters in one precinct who waited until the last half hour to cast their ballots, the probabilities are that some of then) yould lose their votee, as the polls close, regardless of whether or not there are still some waiting to vote. | ( By $1 means let the.“vots_ early” slogan be uppermost in your minds on next Tuesday. .

Polish is now obtained from sea weed, called kelp. Ball Rubbers, Ever Stick Rubbers, all fresh stock.—Hilliard & Hamill.

THE, COST OF LIVING. | Democrats in 1912 promised to reduce the cost of living. They closed , the factories in 1913 and ’914 but didn’t reduce the cost-of living. Are two dollar potatoes, fourteen cent beans, ten dollar flour and forty cent bacon, evidences of reducing the cost of living?

GETTING THE REVENUE. The Underwood tariff law is not even a tariff for revenue. It has failed to produce, and even the income tax could not make up the deficit. The democrats had to levy a war tax in time of peace, making us a nation of stamp lickers. The stamp law was repealed two months after election. If Wilson is re-elected the stamps will come again, together with bond ‘issues.

ADAMSON WAGE LAW. On the basis of the Adamson wage law, which is not an eight hour law in any sense of the term, democrats are claiming that they are the special friends of toiler, and that the campaign is a battle between labor and capital. Yet the Adamson law is clearly unconstitutional, and the date of its operations were postponed until after the election in order to hide this fact. Its provisions, moreover, were withheld from hundreds of thousands of workers in interstate commerce to whom congress might with" equal propriety have given relief. The real feeling of Wilson and the democratic party for the wage workers us shown in Wilson’s strong utterances against labor as a college professor, and in the state of legislation in southern states, where the democratic party has long been in power, and where social justice and labor legislation lag half a century behind the republican states north of the Ohio.

Eigelsbach Playing QuarterBack On Freshman Team.

Bill Eigelsbach, former star quarterback of the local high school team, is playing quarterback on the fresnman team at Notre Dame this yea r . In a letter received here, Eigelsbach states that he has been in every scrimmage against the varsity and is getting along in fine shape. Freshmen are not allowed to play on the varsity at Notre Dame and this is, the only reason that Eigelsbach has not been in any of the games. He reoently intercepted a forward pass and ran sixty yards through the varsity team, but was stopped from making a touchdown by the varsity safety man. Bill states that the Notre Dame team this year is a one and has been crushing everything they have gone against. Eigelsbach will play with the freshman eleven against St. Viator.

ANOTHER SHIPMENT From New York—sl.so caps and $1 neckwear. —Hilliard & Hamill. The value of knowing the weight of a soil lies in the possibility of calculating the amount of water, humus and plant it cpjjtains and thus compare two softs as to their relative cropping JAY WALKING PROHIBITED ry - o Don’t “Jay Walk” when you buy clothes—-gd straight to Hilliard & Hamill. Why, you ask? Here’s why,: Largest stock; newest stock; best makes and not “at get-rich-quick” prices. Stop in and see for yourself. There is no market for foreign beers in Brazil.

Koenig Tells How He Dodged Allies With $10,000,000 Cargo.

New London, Conn., Nov. L—“English blockade?” Captain Paul Koenig,, commander of the German under-sea merchant packet, Deutschland, lifted his voice to a note of slight impatience as he repeated the query. He turned his eyes upon the questioned. They are sharp little eyes, of a bluish gray color. “Well, it hasn't stopped us yet,” he said, dropping his voice to its usual quiet, even tone. With ten million dollars worth of cher.tical dyestuffs, drugs, jewelry and .stocks and bonds packed between her homely sides, the Deutschland is lying in this harbor ready to unload. Capt. Koenig was seated at a long table late this afternoon in a private dining room of the Mohican hotel. He was telling the story of that trip. The ship—Koenig always calls it a -ship—had an uneventful trip. It saw a lot of hostile but the hostiles never saw the Deutschland. It ran about a hundred miles under water all told on the vVhy across. It carried a cargo estimated in value at $10,000,000, including drugs, such as asperin and salvarsen, and there is an intimation .that a lot of precious stones and maybe some stocks and bonds are aboard the ship. It brought mail for the German ambassador and others in this country. The voyagers have heard nothing of the Bremen and believe that boat has been lost. The Deutschland is manned by the same crew with three 1 exceptions, that took her to Baltimore last July. _
