Voters Have Duty To Perform Tuesday

Voters should not lose sight of the fact that.they have a solemn duty to perform next Tuesday. There is more than the presidency at stake; the political complexion of the next congress, both house and senate, is to be determined, and no half-way measures should be employed. i If the voter casts his ballot for Mr. Wilson then he should also give him senatorial and congressional upport. Likewise, if the voter is casting his ballot for* Hughes and Fairbanks, he should support the republican candidates for United States senator and congressman. Without congress behind him 10 president can accomplish anything worth while, and the administration would be compelled to mark time for two or four years until another ele> tion should have brought a sympathetic president and congress together. . »

There is too much at issue, the world is changing too rapidly, new problems are springing up almost over night, and it would be almost suicidal to place ourselves in a position where the utmost harmony and unity of purpose did not obtain in dealing with the questions which will confront the next administration. If Mr. Hughes is worthy of your support he is worthy of all the support you can give him, and he has a ’ right to expect that if you are going to elect him you are also going to elect a senate and a congress that will be. in harmony with him and assist him 'n* putting into effect the policies which will characterize his administration,,= —■ - - -—; —l No farmer would hire a man to husk com and fail to provide him with the equipment that would enable him to perform his duties. And no man ( should vote for a presidential candidate and then rope and hog-tie him and render his efforts ineffectual by‘hampering him with an opposition

50,000 Republican Majority Seen In New York.

New York state will go republican this year by at least 50,000, according to an analysis of the political situation there by Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the republican state committee. This means forty-five sure electoral votes for Hughes. The total vote in the state will in all probability exceed 1,600,000, as it has in each of the previous years. No candidate. running on the democratic ticket in this state has ever received 750,000 votes. No republican candidate for president or governor ever received Tess than 600,000 votes in the last three presidential years, except in 1912, when the republican vote was divided with the progressive. Most of the voters who were progressives four years ago have returned to the republican party. The

congress. The plea of the self-styled independent voter who proudly proclaims that he votes for the man is merely a note of discord in this election for the simple reason that priricipies are at stake that cannot be made effective by inharmonious elements.. Not for a good many years has the question of principles been so much at stake, nor the differenc'e between the two parties so marked, and for this reason the voter is not merely voting for a preferred presidential candidate, he is voting for the principles which that candidate represents, and to make them effective the successful candidate must have the necessary 7 law-making support, otherwise his administration must be sterile of achievement.

Confronted then with a situation of that nature, we urge that Mr. Hughes be given the support of the Indiana delegation in congress. Give him the assistance of Harry S. New and James E. Watson in the senate; give him the assistance of Will R. Wood in the lower house. These men are republicans, they believe in the ’principles for which- Mr. Hughes stands. They are ready to help him fight the battles for American honor, Americhrt prosperity, for the prote :- tion of American labor. They are in harmony with his purposes. There may be other excellent men in the field, but they are candidates on the democratic ticket. Their aims and ambitions and associations and party allegiance are at variance from those of the republican party. The ; r purposes and hopes and ideals of government are different. Briefly, .they are-oLthe-opposition.— They have, their own presidential candidate w’ith whom they 7 have cast their political fortunes, they 7 are putting forth their effort to elect' him, they condemn everything for which the republican party stands. • /

democratic vote iW the state has been falling off since 1908. The republican enrollment for this year increased nearly 100,000, while the democratic enrollment fell off. All of the heavy gains recorded in registration in New York have been front republican districts. In Manhattan, Tammany’s stronghold,the registration fell off. The steady falling off of the democratic vote and the rapid increase in the republican vote, the edmocratic falling off of enrollment and the marked republican gain, and finally the falling offofre gist ration inthe strongest democratic territory and the heavy gains in republican secKofis, together with the results of the actual canvass that has been made in evfiry county indicate beyond the shadow of a doubt the success of the entire republican state and national ticket.

60,000 Negroes Brought North As “Repeaters

Washington, Nov. 3.—An official estimate that 60,000 negroes have been transported recently from the south into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states was made by the department of justice in a statement declaring that a number of th enegroes have fraudulently-registered, and that other election frauds disclosed include padding of registration lists reaching into thousands of false names in one city alone. The statement, issued with the sanction of Attorney General Gregory, gives warning that conspiracies to intimidate voters will be prosecuted promptly. It is the department’s first official announcement that actual cases/of fraud have been developed by its investigators. United States distinct attorneys and investigators have been instructed to be fair and nonpartisan in investigations and prosecutions. Information received by the department of justice shows that within the last three months approximately 60,000 negroes have been transported from certain southern states to northern and western states, mainly to middle western states, particularly Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

Why Canada is For Wilson.

Canada is hopeful that Woodrow Wilson arid a democratic congress will be elected in the United States is the November’ elections. Up in Winnipeg the British trade commission is conducting investigations and considering ways and means for promoting Canadian and British trade expansion. The commission’s plan is to raise a tariff w*all around Canada so high that few, if any products of American factories will be able to get into the Canadian market. At the same time it hopes that democratic success will continue in force the Underwood tariff in this country sb“thaFCmiaffiaW“”gddd® may “"be brought into our markets at will, thereby giving Canada the trade balance.

This kind of one-sided “reciprocity” is very pleasing to the Canadians and the, Underwood tariff already has been of great benefit to the»n. In the opinion of British and. Canadian trade experts the best thing that could happen for Canadian agriculture and industry would be a continuation of the UndePwood tariff here. A democratic president and congress would insure this. - -—===s = • J No such good fortune for Canadians can be sighted in case Charles Evans Hughes and a republican congress .are chosen by the American veters. While no one will blame the Canadians for grabbing all the trade they can get, it is the self interest of American farmers and workingmen to see that a republican president and congress go into power and make secure the business interests of the United States. —. ■

FREE MAIL DELIVERY IS NOT DROPPED

Council Now Having Map of Town Made So That Numbers Can Be Put Up. f Republican: What has become of theproject for free rtia.il delivery in Rensselaer ? That matter, as w& understand it, is not dead by any means. The city council has passed an ordinance providing for a uniform system of. street numbering and now is having a map of the city made for the purpose*of s 1 ’owing where to place the names of the streets. These signs will be paid for by the city but the house numbers will have to be bought by the property owners. The city will probably recommend some particular kind of number but it will not be compulsory upon the property owner to buy that pa'rticular kind. The postoffice department requires the houses to be numbered and certain other conditions to be complied with before establishing free delivery. After the houses are numbered the matter will be taken up with the department and free delivery will probably be ordered established here.

Rensselaer High Plays Hammond At Latter Place Today.

-Hammond Times. Rensselaot’s state championship team will be in Hammond Saturday to play the local high school at football. Rensselaer is making a bid for the championship of Indiana. -They beat East Chicago by the close score of 7 to 6, whUeHammond defeated East vider margin >f 19 to 7. D<Ge is ail in favor of the honje team, and the fans are expecting the Hammond boys to clean up Rensselaer by a larger score than they did the East Chicago team. Last night’s scrimmage against a strong second team showed that the local eleven has a stronger punch and go have displayed at any time this season.

Coach Kenney gave the team a real serious talk last night and showed them where they were weak. The team then came on the field for scrimmage and their attack was formidable. They hit the line with a determination to show the coach that they had the punch. Tomorrow this punch will show up (<- and the down state boys will not have a look in. Rensselaer is bringing fifteen men and rooters to back the team. Hammond will have two full teams out, and enough rooters to make the side lines black. This is the last home game of the season and the last chance to see the local boys add glory to the school.

One Reason the Price Of Eggs Is So High.

After' hearing charges by Aiderman Pretzel that l there were 37,500,000 dozen eggs in Chicago in cold storage while the price is soaring at xabout 45 cents a dozen, the Chicago council committee invited U. S. District Attorney Clyne to attend the next meeting of the committee, at which an effort will be made to show collusion on the part of the middlemen and producers to control the price of foodstuffs. Henry I. Coghlan, a Michigan farmer, testified that half a dozen Chicago operators control egg prices through the middle west. Their agents buy up the supply, he said, “contending that it was not profitable for farmers to ship.

Thanksgiving Birds Will Come High This Year.

Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner 's going to come high, according to poultry dealers, who have made investigation of the supply in different sections of the state. The east airways makes a high bid for the Indiana bronze turkeys and while enough efotherbreeds-willbe-left, probably to meet the demands, the price will be up several cents a pound over former years. Texas, Kentucky and Missouri, which general provide a surplus, report a shortage.

U-Boat to Convoy Deutschland On Her Homeward Journey.

New London, Conn., Nov. 3.—The German armored submarine U-57, sister ship to the U-5.3, which recently sank five vessels off the New England coast, is expected to act as a convoy for the under sea freighter Deutschland on her return trip to Germany, according to a statement tonight by Capt. Paul Koenig. The Deutschland’s skipper added: “I would not be surprised if the armored submarine appeared off thia coast while I am nr port. You can’t tell what the government will do.” In answer to questions Capt. Koenog said he probably would make his homeward dash within the next ten days. He -denied a report that he would go through the Cape Cod canal, saying nothing was to be gained by this route. Officials of the Eastern Forwarding Co. announced that the Deutschland’s cargo was discharged at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Great case was exercised to prevent outsiders from seeing the work.
