GREAT VICTORY IS PREDICTED

INDIANA REPUBLICANS ELATED OVER SEPTEMBER REGISTRATION SHOWING. Indianapolis, Sept. 24.—Indiana will go republican this fall by a decisive vote, according to the predictions made by republican leaders. The predictions were 'based on reports made at the conference of members of the State Executive committee, the Advisory committee, the Women’s Executive committee and- the Wommen’s Advisory committee, held here. The members, however, warned against overconfidence and urged continued efforts. The committee members were elated over the showing made throughout the state in the September registration-. The entire organization has planned to continue a vigorous campaign to assure the registration of all republicans Who failed to register the first day. The next registration day will be October 4th and the state organization is striving for a 100 per cent en'rollment of republican voters, men and women, on that date.

Interest Very Keen. Favorable reports on the progress of the campaign were brought by all the workers. Interest in the political affairs is very keen /in most communities, it was said, and the Republicans generally are unusually active this year. Several teemen pointed out ""the fact that the attendance at republican meetings has been larger than ever 'before and the number of volunteer workers for organization and registration work has been larger than ordinarily in the case. “Everything is now in readiness for an energetic campaign from now until the polls close on November 2nd,” E. M. Wasmuth, state chairman, said.

THE LATEST FALL STYLES IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

Mr. Franklin Roosevelt complains that Senator Harding is old-fashion-ed. We hope he is. It is rather gratifying to learn that we have an oldfashioned statesman left We only wish we had more of our old-fash-ioned institutions. The old-fashioned statesman had a deeprooted belief in the Constitution of the United States. The new fashion is to ignore one provision of the Constitution after another. It is old-fashioned today to uphold the integrity of the Constitution, the powers of Congress, the right of free speech and the right of the people to a free, untrammeled governmeht. The new fashion is to send American lads to fight in foreign countries without telling Congress anything about it, to* arrive at understandings with foreign ministers without taking into account what the American people want or do 'hot want, and to agree to enter a league of nations organized upon principles that no sane American would ever dream of indorsing. It is a new fashion—just about seven years old—to climb up on a seif-constructed pedestal and undertake to tell the American nation what its ideals are and how those ideals must be z earned out. It is an extremely old fashion to hold an election in Maine and Georgia and New Hampshire which gives such pedestal a swift kick in the slats. , _ „ Washington, Jefferson, Monroe and Lincoln xwere old-fashioned. Whether Wilson is merely up to date or 2,000 years ahead of nis time, only future historians can tell. At any rate, it seems rather intelligent on the part*of Senator Hardiilg to stick to the old-fashion-ed idea of American government rather than to the new. We would strongly advise him, however, to ask Mr. Will Hays to put Mr. Franklin Roosevelt on the pay roll of the Republican campaign speakers’ bureau. They might pay his carfare, anyway.—HeraldExaminer.

VICTIM OF AUTO MISHAP DIES AT HOSPITAL

Chris Troxel of White county, 22 year old, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident last {donday, died Thursday evening at‘7:4s o’clock at St. Elizabeth hospital. The accident that cost Troxel his life occurred at the west edge of Monticello. He was driving to that place with John Walburn, of Wolcott, when the car struck some fresh gravel in - the road, turned over twice and pinned the men beneath the wreckage. Dr. G. R. Coffing, of Monticello, attended the men and they were taken to their homes. Dr. Emil Besser took charge of the Troxel case which was the more serious, and on Wednesday had the injured man brought to the local hospital where an operation was performed in an effort to save his life. Troxel’s skull had been fractured and he never regained consciousness from the time of the accident. Walburn who was with Troxel was not seriously injured and is getting along nicely at his home at Wolcott. The bod of Troxel was taken to Remington Thursday night. He lived three miles east of that town. His mother, Mrs. Lydia Troxel, was with him when he died.—Lafayette Journal.

NO LABOR TROUBLE OR CLOCK PUNCHING HERE

Chas A. Lytle, who came to this county from Rensselaer two years ago, but is originally from Illinois, resides two miles south of town, where he is farming 350 acres of land belonging to Will Gray and’ the Horner estate. Mr. Lytle started as a yearly renter, which owing to mutual satisfaction of landlord and tenant, has been made a five year lease. Mr. Lytle Tias six sons, four of whom are full fledged farmers, each performing his full share in the cultivation and harvest of crops. The oldest is 28 and the youngest past 14 of the four in active duties. None of these boys has any desire to quit the farm and seek less inviting tasks in the city. Scarcity of farm hands has no terror for Mr. Lytle, who is prospering in com-' mon with those who constitute his family. It is not uncommon for farmers to have sons, but it is too often the case they, give up the calling for which they are best fitted for employment which at best is a poor substitute for their native heath. —Monon News.

MISS LEONARD AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP COURSE

Felix Borowiski, president of the Chicago Musical College, has advised the Tribune by personal letter, that Miss Anne Leonard of this place, has been awarded a free scholarship in the vocal department of the College. As these scholarships are competed for by vocalists from all parts of the United States, it will be seen that Miss Leonard s success has been of the notable kind. Miss Leonard won the vocal honors in the college last year. —Francesville Tribune.

AMERICANISM.

The Republican desires to call the especial attention of its readers to a series of articles now being published in both the Evening and Semi-weekly Republican. To the reading and thinking man no confirmation of the fact that forces are at work having for their intention the destruction of the United States Government. If such forces are innocuous, why did the authorities deport so many aliens charged with seditious and anarchistic activities? Why so many others held today, who will probably be deported; and why have American citizens been tried and convicted and many others await trial, on similar charges? . * , To offset the insidious forces and specious doctrines at work, is it not the duty of the PRESS to preach Americanism —the principles laid down by the founders of this great republic, upheld by . their successors, and which have made us great among the nations? We are pleased to call your very preferred attention to this splendid series of articles under the title of “Americanism,” by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. The articles have no party slant nor political bearing and General Wood being no longer a candidate, does not write from the standpoint of a partisan but of an unstanding patriot, a vinle man with messages vital with the essence of American idealp and principals. These articles will prove especially helpful and inspiring io students of American history.
