AN IMPRESSIVE KEYNOTE ADDRESS

' The keynote speech delivered yesterday at Crawfordsville by Warren T. McCray, Republican nominee for governor, was impressive in the directness with which he discussed the issues of the campaign. Mr. McCray is a clear thinker who sees distinctly what is ahead of the state and nation. He is a business man without hobbies or fads to try out, who may be depended upon to give to the management of the affairs of state the same quality of judgment and administrative capacity that have made him one of the most successful farmers and live stock raisers in the United States. He talks very much like the kind of man the people want in the present emergency. Mr. McCray says the Republican party is best qualified by experience, principals and the quality of its leaders to get the nation back to normal working conditions, after the upheaval of recent -years. Ours is a system of government by parties and the ‘Republican party has demonstrated repeatedly its capacity for constructive leadership in state and national affairs. He believes that the same reasons that should prompt the voters to place the Republicans in power at Washington, should impel Hoosiers to entrust the state administration to the party of Lincoln, McKinley and RooSeThose 'who heard Mr. McCray’s address, or who read it, can not fail to be impressed by his practical sound sense conception the opportunity for service the next Governor of the state will have. He does not propose anything revolutionary er spectacular. He is for a budget system, for better pay for teachers, for road improvements, for the advancement of agriculture, for a return to thrift and economy, fpr generous treatment of the world war veterans, and considerate action to promote the welfare of the workers of the state. Mr. McCray, apparently, does not conceive it to be the province of the next Governor of Indiana to settle* the fate of nations nor to solve all the problems of the world at large. He sees before him the management of the business of a great corporation of 3,000,000 stockholders and proposes to give to the task the best skill and attention of which he is capable. He is willing to take the time from Jus own important interests in order to serve the people of his native state. Mr. McCray’s administrative ability has been demonstrated in his own business. His candidacy offers to the citizens of the state an opportunity they will not underestimate. —Indianapolis Star.

S’NOTHIN’—WILLIAM TRAUB DID THE SAME THING

A full grown army truck/ one of a covey which passed through here late Friday afternoon, completely demolished one of the city light posts at the corner of VaA Rensselare and Washington streets as the driver made the turn from Van Rensselaer street west on Washington. The post was so badly mangled that it is beyond repair. The driver didn’t take the trouble to stop and make a survey of the damage he had done. However, City Engineer Chamberlain secured the license plate number of the car and a statement will be sent to the government. The city will foot the bill at least until the statement reaches the government—'but it. takes a long, long time for anything to reach its destination once it is placed in the slowly moving waters of the military channels. If one of these posts must be wrecked ever so often the city officials much prefer that the job be left to one of our citizens who is proficient in that line, William Traub for instance.

CONSERVE COAL URGES GOODRICH

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 3.—Governor Goodrich issued an appeal to the people pf Indiana today to conserve the Coal supply of the state. The governor points out that there probably will be a severe coal shortage unless private consumers, industries and public utilities immediately begin saving coal. “Wiih cool weather approaching, it is incumbent on the people of Indiana to lay plans for the careful conservation of coal,” the governor said. “State authorities are doing everything in their power to correct the fuel situation but - indications noiv are that there will be a shortage of fuel unless every user takes pains to save coal at all times. , ' The governor issued the statement following receipt of a * letter from Charles L. Hhnry, president of'the Indiana public utility association calling attention to the seri-. ousness of the coal situation as they affect the utilities of the state.

ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM NEWSPAPER FIELD

At the end of this week, with feeling of regret, I abandon the newspaper profession, which I have followed from the age of sixteen, having sold my interest in the SemiWeekly and Evening Republican, to my partner, L. H. Hamilton. As to my future occupation or location, I am as yet. uncertain, but wherever I locate I will always have a warm feeling for Rensselaer, the city of my birth, and the best little town in Indiana. I thank the many patrons of the Republican for their liberal patronage - in the past and ask a continuance of the same for my successor, Mr. Hamilton, who has been associated with me for the past four years.

BESSER AT HIGH SPEED.

(Remington Press.) Well, Mr. Editor, as I promised you a. few lines giving a little sketch of my trip. Leaving the good, tittie city of Remington, boarding tile “Apology”'at 7:22- leaving Logansport at 1:50 p. m., getting on a much better train, we skipped along at a good speed through Ohio into Pennsylvania, passing through considerable rain, and before forgetting, did not see a real, good field of corn during that day. Nothing serious transpired to mar our trip thus far, until word came that a train had struck an auto in which our former Governor, J. Frank Hanley, in company with some friends of his' from Ohio, were riding and that all were killed. Of course, being a noted person from one’s home state, meeting the exgovernor at Fountain Park, it sends a shadow of sorrow over one for the time being. In a short time we came to the foot hills, where a “second hog” they call them, a large mogul engine was hitched on in front of the one on our train, the .two dragging us up hill at a good pace. Surely everything was in our favor. The sun crept out from his hiding place only to make the real beautiful more beautiful; passing through tunnels, viewing the majestic mountains, the romantic wobdlands, the inviting lakes, the ever-changing scenery! My, oh, My! You can’t imagine the thrilling sensations one experiences when you look out one side of the coach you see up possibly a half mile, the other side, within a few feet of' the ties it is straight down for .several hundred feet. Standing on the rear platform of the train in making horse shoe bend one can. almost shake hands with the. engineer.’ Scenery, yes scenery! I have seen beautiful pictures but nature has her more beautiful than human - handa can tint them. You remember in the beginning I spoke of the “Apology.” Well, when one takes ride over the mountains, watching those two moguls doing their very best, the nice sleeping apartments, divers and other accommodations, and lastly you reach your destination, I think you run in the third basement at the Pennsylvania station, which covers two large city blocks, one can’t help but think what a great and grand railroad system. r Well, I crawled up the long stairway, wondering where I would land. Did you ever read Dante’s Inferno? .If you did you will know what passed my mind like a dream. Stopped at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Service, yes, service you surely get, but you pay from ten to fifteen bucks a day. I stayed one night. Very truly, E. BESSER.
