JUDGE RILEY MAKES ADDRESS

IRISH ORATOR MAKES DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS IN THIS CITY TUESDAY NIGHT. Judge T. R. Riley, of Boston, Mass., made an address at the New Ellis Opera House Tuesday evening. There was a good sized audience present, many of them being of the sam* nationality as the speaker. From the standpoint of an orator, the judge was equal to any one who has spoken in this city. He recited the glorious history of this great nation in a most interesting, while somewhat extended, “discourse. He attempted to be fair, but evidently would still have been against the League of Nations, had not his life long participation in the Democratic party impressed upon him the necessity of party regu- ' larity. ' He said that he had made five thousand speeches in the Irish cause. For many months he talked against the League of Nations. That he had traveled extensively in the old world and during the war made addresses for the government. » He is a man of large means and had offered the Democratic national committee the largest, gift they would receive or to give his time and effort, paying his expenses in the campaign. The committee told him to go out, and he has spent a week in Kansas, a week in Missouri, last week he was in Kentucky and this week he is stumping Indiana. Everything he said was from the standpoint of the. Irish question, he having been sent here to try to line up the Irish, most of whom stand with the “Friends of Irish Freedom’* against the League of Nations. . He made the statement that the only hope Ireland had in its fight for freedom was through the league. He said that 4he idea of Great Britain having six votes to every other nation’s one amounted ,to nothing as only the negative votes count. He did not tell his Irish friends that one vote, in tj»e negative would lose their cause in the league and that England would always have one vote and. later may have more in the Council as Canada has been assured that she may be elected a member of the Council. Nor did he tell them that England could have - the question referred to the Assembly and there England has six votes and all propositions are carried or lost by majority vote. - Every Irishman, who will read the League of Nations, must know that every nation which joins the League, pledges itself to England’s side of the ' controversy. The league guarantees the political integrity of every nation which is a member. - < - Irish freedom will be lost instead of won should the League of Nations as it was written by an Englishman and fathered by Woodrow Wilson become effective.

REPUBLICANS HONOR M'CRAY

DEMONSTRATION AT FOUNTAIN PARK INDICATES HIS POPULARITY. — It is estimated that more than twelve 'hundred persons were present at the Republican Rally at Fountain Park, Tuesday afternoon. Ibis, ,in spite of the very inclement weather, being so disagreeable, that many took it for granted that the rally would be postponed. The commodious pavilion at this beautiful chautauqua grounds was crowded to capacity and all remained to hear three great addresses lasting from one to four o’clock in the afternoon. County Chairman Moses Leopold presided at the meeting. The Remington A. B. C. 'band and Glee Club added greatly to the enjoyment of the meeting, both organizations being composed of high class artists, and their music was most entertaining.

The first address was made by Miss Rita Kissin of New York City. This talented and cultured lady Stirred her audience with patriotic fervor.*and moved them to conviction by the logic of her argument. She had traveled in the counties of Europe, knew considerable of their problems and spoke with weight and - conviction upon their ability and disposition to >be members with us in a League of Nations. ’ She said that this instrument was written by an English statesman. That it was British and was wholly in the interest of the British Empire. She. was opposed to the binding of this nation into a covenant in which the American soldier and American money should be forced into the wars of Europe without the consent of -the mothers of ’ the American boys. She said we had always done our full duty at all times and that we do .not need any agreements with other nations in future, but that the conscience of the American people can be relied upon in every crisis and under every circumstance, whether the wrong to be righted is national or international. Her appeal was to the American mother and the American father and she urged that the very foundations of our sacred liberty was being attacked in the attempt to fasten upon us this unholy alliance. She is, a gifted orator, and brought before her ’such an array of convincing truths, that the minds of those present were enlightened and their souls made stronger in the faith of Americanism. No mother could have heard this address and vote for the League of Nations, without a consciouness of being untrue to herself, her loved ones and her country. The second address of the afternoon was by Warren T. McCray, tiie Republican nominee for goverbf Indiana. Mr. McCray devoted a part of his time to the national issues and the principle of the Republican party. He discussed these propositions with fairness and clearness showing that he has a broad knowledge of national affairs. His discussion of state issues was pointed. He said he had no fads, which he wanted to inflict upon the people of Indiana, but that he wanted to give his state a clean, business, economical administration and that while most of his holdings were lend, farm equipment and live stock, he wanted to be the governor of the whole people and not of any particular class, clan or profession. He favors the budget system, suitable recognition of the soldiers of all wan, including, of course, our boys of 'the Great War. ... He said he would ask the advice and would be guided by the council of* the best men of the state. That he would seek to place all of the state’s institutions, upon the most efficient basis possible. He said that during the entire campaign he had not uttered a sylable of abuse against his nent ot* any other candidate. That he did not want to be elected on that kind of a campaign and that rather than to stoop so low he preferred to be defeated. He ask§. all, who thought there be some truth in the SgiiKHial attacks which had been made against him to take it up with those who know him best. His Mie has been an jO pen book. He has nothing to hide and is wining to stand or fall upon his record, as a citizen in the community in which he tas resided all his life. . . He charge in roference to his Red Cross activities during the war, saying that he was selected as chairman of the finance emmittee of the Newton County I Red Cross chapter. That the peoyle ‘of his county contributed liberaOy the money was by hun j* Sn 0^th ‘ he H the vote of confidence wtach. hu I ucsriiibors ado ineDuS rctposcti i* * ID 018 QWD WBwKaS Wvlv Afi

divide among all the other candidates. At the same primary election he received 91 per cent of C AH 1 of h sTeS r n d h «v« tfon. Mr. McCray will be elected ernor of Indiana on November 2. In many counties of the state he will run ahead of the national ticket, but he is anxious that his own district give him the full Republican vote. He made this clear when he said, “I would rather be defeated and carry the counties m my district, than to be elected and fall behind the ticket in my home district. This district is composed of Jasner. Newton, Lake, Porter, Benton/White, Warren and Tippecanoe counties. x Mr. McCray made a most convincing statement and from the applause he received Jasper county see that he does not lose a Republican vote on account of the continued malicious misrepresentations of the local Democratic press which is functioning its vjle abuse asut gan of the Democratic party in tBS Logansport. In beginning his address Mr. Landis said to Mr. McCray: “Do ifot worry, Warren, they said worse things about Abraham Lincoln.” “If the Democrats did not throw the dirty mud in this campaign lake and would send a doctor to examine my local Democratic chairman at once.” . „ Landis held his audience spellbound. His wit and humor caltodj cited the mistakes ofthe present ad-1 the N.jew! from the Council to the Assembly and here the decision is made bya majority vote and Great Britain has six votes. , of instruction and a gathering full of patriotic fervor.
