CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

With this issue of the Republican, the ownership and management passed from Clark & Hamilton to the junior member of that firm, Louis H. Hamilton. As.announced last week by Leslie Clark, the senior member of the firm of Clark & Hamilton, has 'sold his interest to Louis H. Hamilton. Ms. Clark has spent all of his life in the newspaper business. Most of this time he has. been connected with a Rensselaer, He was the owner of the Rensselaer Journal which was consolidated with The Republican in 1908. Much of the success and the high standing of The Republican is due to his ceaseless effort in serving the public in the capacity of publisher. Financial succes makes it possible for him to retire from a position calling for so strenuous and ceaseless, tiresome effort. He has other interests which have required considerable of his attention and which have been profitable investments. Mr. Clark is a thorough business man and has the ability to succeed in whatever he may undertake. In his newspaper career he has always had the management of the business department. The partnership just severed has been pleasant and agreeable and there is a mutual concern and interest in the future success and happiness of the members of the firm. , . . The writer came to this county when a lad eight years of age. Since that time he has had many experiences. Must of these years nave been filled with happiness wd a moderate degree of success. The handicaps that have come into his life have been met bravely and with a determination that they should not deter him from striving to make the Almost possible out of the conditions he had to encounter. We have learned that the good

AUTO OVERTURNS IN DITCH; OCCUPANTS ESCAPE INJURY

Five members of the base ball team of this city miraculously escaped injury Sunday afternoon while on their way to Medaryville for a game with the team of teat place when the automobile in which they were riding was overturned in a ditch, the result of the driver losing control of the car momentarily and permitting it to go into the ditch. Not a single occupant of the car suffered so much as a scratch, but the car, a Ford, and the property of the Main' garage, was pretty badly damaged. The occupants of the car continued their journey in another car. Those who were in the car were Fred, Feldhous, Harold Clark, Herbert Hammond, Paul Healy and Fred Speaks, the latter doing the driving.

people of this city and country are always ready and even anxious to help those who Till endeavor to help themselves, that service is always appreciated and more than justly rewarded. Knowing this from experience, we ajre undertaking the tdsk of giving to our people a newspaper which has already won a place in the hearts and homes of its thousands of readers. We know that the paper will receive all tee support which it merits and it will be our endeavor to keep pace with the progress which is being made in the business, home, education and civic life of the people we will endeavor to serye. We say to you, truthfully, that we appreciate from the very depths of our soul your splendid co-opera-tion; hut it is our determination to make that more apparent in the character of the service we will attempt to render. The Republican force under tee new management will not be changed, except in tee place of Mr. Leslie Clark a reporter will be substituted. Howard Clark will remain with the office force. Our faithful and efficient printers. Miss Haas and Mr. Reafsnyder, will continue at their posts and Mr. Kurtz* a thorough newspaper man, will act as mechanical foreman and will assist in the linotype department. As a linotype operator he is equal to any operator that has ever sat at a keyboard in this city. “Billy” Campbell will continue as our faithful devil. Just as soon as he can do so from the standpoint of his health, Fred Hamilton' will return from California and will become a partner with his father. It is hoped that he will have fully recovered from the effects of being gassed during the war and may join us by September 1, 1921. LOUIS H. HAMILTON.

MONTICELLO AND DELPHI MEETNGS DRAW THOUSANDS

Rousing republican rallies were held in White and Carroll counties Friday afternoon and evening and the voters pf both counties turned out en masse to hear Senator James E. Watgd% and Warren T. McCray, candidate for governor. At Monticello, where the White county rally was held, in the afternoon several thousand people assembled and it was one of the biggest rallies ever held in the county. Every township was represented and a parade containing nearly 500 automobiles traveled over the streets. There were thirty floats in the parade, some representing republican views or the various arguments *of the democrats. The “Cox $15,000,000 slush fund” was represented by an empty barrel; a float, representing “the Democratic party” was draped in American flag and nothing in it. There was also an Uncle Sam float and many others. Monon township sent a delegation of automobiles, and republican enthusiasm abqunded everywhere. ' The meeting was held on the court house square, where a platform was erected near the building and seats provided on the lawn. Despite tee provision made for caring for a large gathering, the court house yard overflowed and hundreds occupied places in the streets. Senator James E. Watson directed the attention of the voter to democratic mismanagement and by request talked on the league of nations. His arguments were concise and to the point and the defects in the league as he viewed them were made plain to all. Mr. McCray spoke on efficiency in state affairs and explained how he expects, if elected governor, to install a budget system for the management of state institutions, which he claims will materially reduce tee state expenses. Mrs. Dodson, of Montana, also spoke, as did Congressman Will R. Wood, of Lafayette. All received enthusiastic applause. < Friday night the Carroll county meeting was held in the city park at Delphi and 5,000 people turned out to hear the speeches of Messrs. Watson and McCray. Ed Brown introduced Senator Watson and Bennie Cornell presented Mr. McCray. Besides the speeches, music was furnished by the Girls’ Glee Club of Huntington; The Delphi band and the Wheeling male quartet. It was the largest political rally Delphi has seen in many years. The addresses aroiised great applause, Senator Watson’s denunciation of the Wilson league of nations being especially popular.

LEAGUE THE BIG ISSUE.

"The great iftuo of the present campaign is thp Wilson league of nations,” *aid Col* Roosevelt. “Like every good American, I don’t want to see future wars, for I know what war is, and have three yonng hoys of my own/ Thorn are the seeds of more war in the document which Mr. Wilson brought hack with him than in anything of its kind in history. Founded on injustice, and containing, as it dees. Article X, the 1 segue of nations is n death-trap.”—-THEODORE ROOSEVELT, JR.

LEWIS HIGH WINNER AT OHIO STATE FAIR

The herd of Hampshire hogs owned and exhibited by John R. Lewis & Son were among the highest winners of the Ohio state fair held at Columbus last week. The competition was unusually keen, there being more hogs entered at the Ohio fair than is usually tee case at tee National Swine show, and especially was it trues in the pig class. In a class of over fifty spring hoar pigs of excellent quality, representing the best that could he produced by the combined efforts of the pig clubs and feeders of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, the pig of Lewis & Son stood first. They received the first premium also on yearling boars and aged sows, second premium on junior and senior yearling sows. In the herd classes the aged Lewis herd stood second while the herd exhibited as produced by one sow stood first. No other single exhibitor received more of the high honors than did Mr. Lewis.

EDUCATING ADOPTED SONS.

Yeppe Hanson of Gillam township was in Rensselaer this Monday forenoon, having brought his two adopted sons, Clarence and James, here to enter the Rensselaer high school. There is a high seat in Glory for those who will be good to boys and girls, whose parents are not living. These young men are very fortunate in having the privilege of the splendid home of Mr. andi Mrs. Hanson and they will undoubtedly appreciate the same by taking advantage of the opportunities thusafforded.

THE REAL ISSUE.

While Mr. Cox is trying to draw attention away from the uncomfortable fact that he is pledged to Mr. Wilson’s covenant by sounding the alarm to awaken American voters to the danger of their being bought by the Republican party, let us humor him by reverting to a domestic issue. Considering that Mr. Cox insists upon changing the subject, we'll agree, in view of the present prospects of the covenant, that this issue is more important In fact, we think it is paramount Mr. Gifford Pinchot has defined it as follows: “If Gov. Cox should he elected, which he must not be, we would he ruled for the next four years by a combination of the old southern Democracy and the most vicious political machines in the country: the Democratic machines of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, and HUnois. What we have suffered already in reckless waste would he merely a curtain raiser to what would follow.” Perhaps Mr. Pinchot exaggerates as to the possibilities of a restored Democratic rule. The war, after all, gave cover to a lot of things that could not be got away with in peace time, even by an administration sewed up with Tammany and the deserving Democrats of the solid south. After all there is a limit to what the pifblic will accept, and we think the outgoing political powers reached that limit. Nevertheless, the relief to he expected from Mr. Cox’s confreres is about what a typhoid patient would get from a relapse. We'll do' batter without the relapse.— Chicago Tribune.

CARD OF THANKS.

We desire to in this way express our heartfelt thanks to the friends, neighbors, the nurses at the baupital and the old soldiers for their many acts of kindness shown us during the sickness and since the death of our beloved husband and father. MRS. THOMAS CROCKET AND CHILDREN
