MR. McCRAY’S CANDIDACY.

Pew candidates have ever attained the popularity which has already manifested itself in Mr. McCray's candidacy for gubernatorial honors in Indiana. Mr. McCray is perhaps as widely known over the state as any individual whoever and he makes it bin policy to get out and meet the voters. No community is too small or too remote for him. He feels that the people are entitled to sice up their candidates by personal contact and he has accordingly mapped out a most rigorous itinerary which will take him into every corner of every CO»nty. Mr. McCray has met thousands of Indiana voters and has talked with them intimately and definitely, not as an orator, but as a farmer and business mln discussing, governmental principles and the affairs of the state with his friends and admirers. He has outlined a progressive program which has been received by the people as a sane and constructive proposition. V . Here is a candidate who talks business. By that is meant his straightforward approach of the questions before the electorate and his frank, open discussion of them. His proposal is to conduct the affairs of the public along the same lines as a modern business man would conduct the affairs of his individual business or as the president of a corporation would deal with the interests of his company. The gubernatorial nominee of Republican party is a firm believer in. having things done economically and efficiently, because he understands that the one is dependent on .the other. He knows that a thing cannot be done economically unless it is done efficiently and he further knows that it would be ruinous and foolish to do it efficiently if it were not at the same time accomplished with economy. ‘ Mr. MeCray’s personality and engaging manner, his past record as a successful farmer and business man and his earnestness in his aspirations are qualities which invite the confidence and support of the voters of Indiana. -r- ~ His popularity is gaining steadily and in such a wholesome manner that it assures him the victory in November.

Americanism

By LEONARD WOOD

Where law end* tyranny begin*. — William Pitti Speech, January 9, 1770. LAWS companion is order. There la no tyranny like the tyranny of the mob. Americanism means law, and law means Americanism. Without it there is first chaos and then for out of disorder comes that type of government which, while In a way restraining us, destroys liberty under. the law. Such a condition Is almost the inevitable consequence of departure from the law Into the realm of unrule. Law and Liberty are inseparable. Liberty lovers can be depended upon to see to It that there is not too much law. The people in a republic are-the writers of the laws. They can be trusted to secure Just that measure of regulation consistent with order and inconsistent with the tyranny of too : much restriction of the popular rights. In America in those places where there have been outbreaks, where the people have taken, as it ia called, the law Into their own hands, tyranny has shown itself. Happily its rule has been only temporary. The spirit of the mob is despotic. The spirit of the law is democratic.

Americanism means obedience to law. The Fathers of the republic knew this and laid stress upon it They built upon the foundation of law and they built an orderly structure. When the foundation is destroyed the, structure falls and It -cannot be reared again except upon foundation stones of the kind first used. Law is government and there can be no Abraham Lincoln’s government of the people, by the people and for the people unless law enters into it as a constituent. The flag of the American republic represents law just as truly as it represents liberty, for there can be no liberty without the law. Proper laws safeguard freedom and never menace It. When the enactment of laws goes beyond reason there is the repeal. The people are the judges of the limits of legal restraint. Americans know how much law is needed to give them full liberty and yet save them from license. The American flag stands for the nation —it ranks everything else in America. All salute it, from private to president. The flag of a country, however, can represent nothing except what the country is. When we teach respect for our country’s colors, we must bear in mind that respect can be instilled only if the institutions for which the flag stands are maintained In the integrity which the Fathers gave to them.

WOODROW WILSON, May 6, 1914.

“America should load her own life. We cannot form alliances with those who are not going our way. We heed not and we should not form alliance* with any nation in the world. Those who are right, those who hold their honor higher than their advantage, do not need alliances.”

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER, IND.

(POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.) THE ISSUES a J The result of the coming election will not hinge upon the Wilson League of Nations. It will not and should not. The Wilson League with Article 10 can not be ratified whatever the result may me. At most it had but 29 votes in the last session, and with election of every new senator favorable to it, it would still lack constitutional majority in the , next session. The next senate will adopt some league, some association or some adaptation of the original idea. That it will not be a military alliance that will sacrifice any part of our« sovereignty is certain. It WILL be an adjustment arrived at by the senate —just as all our governmental policies have been and as was the’ Constitution, and being such, it will be safe and healthful, and will be promptly signed by a Republican President. That acin the spirit of our represntative government, . Such an .autcome we can not change or prevent, and should NOT. I The Questions We Must Determine by Our Votes Aro— Are we willing to risk four more years of Democratic Mismanagement? Will we return to"“Party Responsibility” or continue to depend । upon the “One Man Rule?” Will we have the Democratic Party or the Republican Party solve the following problems during the next four years? THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OR OPERATION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES. THE CONTROL OF AGGREG ATIONS OF CAPITAL. THE MAINTENANCE OF WAGES BY THE CONTINUATION OF RENEWED PROSPERITY. THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY. THE REVISION OF FEDERAL TAXES. THE TARIFF. THE MERCHANT MARINE. THE RESTORATION IN ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENTS OF SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED HEADS TO DISPLACE IMPRACTICAL IDEALISTS OR PARTISAN INCOMPETENTS? The Failure of Democratic Statesmanship The failure of Democratic statesmanship to meet these issues and solve them is notorious. In Washington today there is wastefulness and extravagance, inefficiency and carelessness, such as has never been seen there before. There is compromising with evil. These is greed. There is an army of needless employes wording for party and not for country. There is dealing with capital and dealing with labor—all putting off a reckoning that threatens the . most serious disaster. Most serious of all, there is display of recklessness with the fundamentals of our ‘government. The Republican Party Promises ■ ’ cept the responsibility as a party, and to have again the departments of government 1 functioning together in harmony and unity. .
