ELECT LIEUT. COL. ROOSEVELT.

, Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 5. —Oyster Bay gloated today over the . election of Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt to the state assembly and shared with him his happiness at the birth of an “election day” son. The one topic of discussion in this little town, where the name of vßoosevelt is worshiped, was “Young Teddy’s” remarkable run in yester-r day’s election, his majority over his democratic opponent, Elias Raff, being estimated at 3,000 to 3,500. This was declared to be the biggest republican majority ever rolled up in the second assembly district in Nassau county. The son has been named Quentin, after the ex-president’s son, who was killed in France in aerial combat.

MARION CO. SENATOR TO BE CANDIDATE FOR LIEUT. GOV.

Senator Harry E. Negley, of Indihnapolis, in the following state- ■ ment announces that he will seek the republican nomination for lieutenant governor. “Editor Rensselaer Republican: I “I beg the privilege of announcing through the columns of your paper my candidacy for the republican nomination for lieutenant governor; and, since the principal duties of the office pertain to the enactment of our statute laws, the people are entitled to know my views upon some questions that are now of vital import. “I believe in the right of collective bargaining, as I 'believe in the inviobility of a contract and the right of protection for.life and property guaranteed by the constitution. And I believe that law and order must be enforced in America, by Americans, and for Americans. -z—----“I have profound faith in the ability of the American people to manage their own affairs, internal and external, national and international, without the interference of any man not a citizen of the United States of America. And that applies equally to all alien advisors so in-, terfering, be they titled diplomats or red socialists. And I have an abiding faith in the American soldier of the national army, be he discharged or still in service, backing that principle to the utmost essential. “I believe in the right, and duty, of the state to so exercise its various functions as to bring the most benefit to the most people; but charged always with the obligation to safeguard public and private morals, and most particularly so in the operation of our public schools. “I believe, with all due regard to the present high-grade personnel of the police an.d f ire departments of Indiana, that a law should be enacted in all of the states prescribing the same penalty for conspiracy among sworn peace . and public safety officers to desert their sworn duty in a body, as is prescribed in the respective states for manslaughter. This because such desertion may be reasonably expected to indirectly result in the sacrifice of innocent lives. “I do not believe in the province |of the state to invade the private rights of the citizen, or usurp the inherent privileges of the home circle, except in the face of the gravest I emergency; and in such event I con- ' cede it only upon the failure of the | citizen, after proper notice, to peri form his whole duty in a manner consistent wijh the public safety.

MAKE IT A HOLIDAY

ARMISTICE DAY SHOULD BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY. November 11, 1918, marked the end of -the bloodiest struggle known to the human race—that struggle in which for four years millions of i men had been engaged and many ■ millions had made the supreme sacrifice in defense of democracy. I The first anniversary of that ; great world event, possibly the most important in all profane history, will occur on Tuesday, November 11, 1919. There is a sentiment to make this day a real holiday. It is suggested that business be suspended, that the schools be-closed and that everybody everywhere do homage to the heroes ' of this great war. I The Rensselaer city schools will be closed and the other schools of the county may also be closed as the War Mothers have urged the trustees to close them.

NOTICE, TOWNSHIP CHAIRMEN! All township chairmen of the Jasper County War Mothers will please 'report at the War Mothers’ headquarters in Rensselaer upon their ari rival in the pity on Armistice day, | November 11. It is urged that you report not later than 11:00 _ —o — * , RENSSELAER CITY SCHOOLS TO CLOSE. The board of trustees of the city schools has granted the request of the Jasper County War Mothers and the schools in Rensselaer will be closed on Armistice day. A like request has been made of the other school coTp ora ti° ns county and it is possible that all schools of Jasper county will be closed in honor of the heroes of the great war.

LAKE COUNTY TO VOTE BY MACHINES.

Crown Point, Ind., Nov. s.—Voting at the next election in Lake county will be done entirely by machine. The county board of commissioners yesterday contracted for thirty new machines which will completely equip the entire county for the present. The machines, which represent an outlay of $29,460, were purchased of the Automatic Voting Machine Co. W. J. Lauster, president of the company, and James Davis, a field representative, were before the commissioners and submitted bids which were accepted. The county now has a total of one hundred machines, which provides one for each township and two spare machines for emergencies. . When the women of the * county are permitted to vote, and it is expected soon, it is estimated that at least thirty more machines will have to be purchased and the question has been asked why the commissioners did not prepare for this emergency, which is expected to arrive before the next presidential election.

ELECTIONS FAVOR THE REPUBLICANS

! STRONG SENTIMENT FOR REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES MANIFESTED. „ !■ Four states elected governors last Tuesday. Massachusetts re-elected (its republican governor by the stupendous majority of about 125,000. Gov. Calvin Coolidge stood with the Republican party and republican > principles. He stood for re-election on the spund republican doctrine of the enforcement of just laws and true fundamental Americanism, . So just was his cause that even President Wilson felt constrained to send him a message of congratulation. In Kentucky Governor James B. Black, democrat, was defeated by Edwin P. Marrow, his republican opponent, by about 30,000 votes. In New Jersey Edward I. Edwards, democrat, seems to have a small majority over his republican opponent, Newton A. K. Bugbee. However, the legislature of that state will be republican. The issues here were mixed, both “wets” and “drys” claiming victory. The constitutional convention, delegates to which were elected in Illinois, were very largely republicans. The election of governor in Maryland is very close. The democrats may have won by two or three hundred votes. Everything considered, the- republicans must feel greatly encouraged over the prospect for the election of a republican successor to Woodrow ■ next year.

A. M. Robinson was in Chicago today. Mrs. Sara Miller entered the hospital today for medical attention. Mr. and Mrs. David Zeigler went to Lafayette this forenoon. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. McNary returned today to their home in Indianapolis.
