THE MULTITUDES SHOUT WITH JOY

GREAT REPUBLICAN VICTORY IS "OCCASION FOR JOLLIFICATION. An immense throng of people gathrred upon the banks of the Iroqrob in this city Saturday evenin? to jive vent to their-unrestrain-able rapture on account of the reai victory won by the Republican party on November 2. Joy and gladness reigned universal. Democrats vied with Republicans in their zeal and earnestness to add their approval of the verdict ’ expressed with such unanimity by the plebeian electorate consisting of mil--lions of men and women of this nation. The women were out en masse and were foremost in expression of their delight of the important part they had taken in this great epoch making historical event. Great credit is due those who participated in the wonderful parade. Led by the Rensselaer Band the parade consisted of almost every conceivable kind of conveyance, with banners stuccoed with pointed expression bearing upon the recent campaign.

A white mule hitched to a wagon drew from the crowd tremendous applause. Upon the wagon .was a platform to represent the Democratic platform. Upon this was a coffin labeled, “The Democratic Party.” The driver was a good take off for Jimmy Cox and by his side/ was the Smiling Thomas Taggart, less the smile. After crossing the Iroquois river bridge the coffin was born from its resting place and by the faithful pall bearers was taken to x the huge bon-fire. Here the casket, supposed to contain the lean remains of the late deceased, was carried in a circle around the great red flame While the band rendered a suitable selection. At last the coffin was placed upon the burning funeral pile and was soon reduced to a degree of nothingness almost as small as the vote received by the Democratic candidates in Keener township. Another conveyance contained the remains of a faithful mule belonging to John Kohloff, the Democratic chairman of Jordan township. Poor old mule, while dead as stone, was a fitting reminder of the present state of the party which delighted to use his photo as its emblem as much as Mr. Kolhoff appreciated his usefulness as a faithful toiler upon the farm. Just what purpose was in the minds of the paraders when they selected Bill Murray’s manure spreader and made it an important part of the demonstration will not be announced in this account.

The Union township fife and drum corps enlivened the occasion and the great number of automobiles in the parade from Keener township was another expression of the devotion to the G. O. P. of these good people whose vote stood 305 for Harding 39 for Cox. The heavy county road roller was paraded up and down; the streets and the shrillness of the two whistles electrified the populace. There were many other interesting features, but a recital of them all would make this account too extended. The great bon-fire lighted the heavens for miles and it doubtless drove its scarlet rays so far that they penetrated the hiding place of the head of the Democratic press of this city who was reported to have retreated to the dense bushes along the undisturbed waters of the Kankakee, far away. It is reported that the great distributor of false and malicious jibuse of the personal character of Republican candidates was accompanied in his hiding by a famous sport of this city, whose sad plight is due to his mistaken thought that Jimmy Cox could by magic change his SI,OOO roll to $2,000. Picture, if you will, this mournful scene of Bab and Charley in the muck and marsh* deserted even by the bull frogs, doWncast, broken in spirit, if not otherwise. • One of the banners of the parade suggested that had the Jasper County Democrat been circulated in Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and other southern bulwarks of Democracy, these states would have been found in the Harding column.

It is reported that three Democrats remained at their homes, giving as their excuse that they had been called muck-rakers and slanderers. But the rank and file of the Democratic citizens of this county were present and joined heartily in the jollification, knowing full well that the personal abuse by the local Democratic press was responsible in a very large degree for the utter rout of their party. The great victory has been appropriately celebrated here. Let’s all go to Kentland Tuesday afternoon and evening and jollify in honor of the matchless achievement of Warren T. McCray, “OUR’’ (with apology to the democratic organ for our plagiarism) Governor. The county is SAVED, AMERICA IS FIRST. LET’S GO. One .of the features of the jollification meeting which was missed by many was the burning of O. K. Rainier’s straw hat at the corner of Washington and Van Rensselaer streets by John Poole, a dyed-in-

RED CROSS IN TIME OF PEACE

STRIKING PAGEANT TO BE GIVHERE ON ARMISTICE DAY EVENING. The Fourth Red Cross Call drive will start on Armistice Day, Thursday, November 11. The TriKappas of this city have the Jasper county drive in charge and they will open with a remarkable pageant entitled, “The Red Cross In Time Of Peace.” This pageant was first given at Cincinnati, 0., at the convention recently held by the Lake Division. It made such a sensation that all chapters in the division have been urged to reproduce it. It most strikingly represents the work of this, “The. Greatest- Mother In The World” in peace time. The scenes show the ministration of this beneficient mother to all peoples everywhere, on the battlefield, in the navy, among the- poor of our large cities with the diseased in all parts of the world. The returned soldier is cared for, his family is assisted, the forlorn and sad are made happy. It is a wonderful story. Its proper reproduction will move people to act with a liberality so much deserved by this greatest “Mother.” • The Red Cross and those who are making the sacrifice to do this great work must have the hearty co-opera-tion of all. See this Great Pageant! Be ready with your Fourth Roll Calls fee or better go to the Red Cross and enroll and offer your services during this drive which starts on • Armistice Day. J. F. Nelson of Fnant, Mich., and J. F. Harmon of Vinton, lowa, are here to attend the funeral of their ■uncle, the late J. F. McCord, who died at the Jasper county hospital Friday, November 5. Mrs. John G. Rhind, of Remihgton, returned from Chicago today where she had been visiting with, relatives.

the-wool Republican. Mr. Poole and Mr. Rainier made an agreement several weeks ago to burn their straw hats after election, the match to be applied by the one whose party was successful at the polls. It afforded considerable amusement to the spectators. Mr. Poole did his work well and as the Rooster straw hat was licked up by the flames the crowd cheered wildly. Mr. Poole’s hat was the last to succumb to the flames.

AERIAL ROUTE TO FIFTH WIN

LOCALS QUIETED LOGANSPORT 7-0 SUNDAY—HIGH SCHOOL LOSES 2XO. Playing on a field made treacherous by the heavy rain of the* night 1 before the Rensselaer independents proved themselves a trifle better mudders than the highly touted Logansport A. A. at Riverside park Sunday afternoon before a large outpouring of fans and jammed, their way to their fifth straight victory of the season, keeping their season’s slate clear of defects by the narrow margin of one touchdown, which came in the "opening quarter on the fourth down when Capt. Nowels tossed a forward pass to Lee Collins at right end who scampered gleefully over the few remaining yards for the day’s only marker. Nowels booted the goal, making the score 7 to 0. In polishing off the Gass* county aggregation the Parkers- removed one of the strongest teams on their season’s schedule and took a long step forward in independent circles in the state. Until their reverse of yesterday the visitors had not been handed a single defeat and their loss was the more bitter since it came from an unexpected quarter. The Wabash A. A. and KirHm were two teams that had bowed before the crimson and white jerseyed athletes, twb teams that on paper were doped as being far ahead of Rens-

SOl&dT, On a dry field Rensselaer would have probably won by three touchdowns, as even the most unbiased spectator will agree, and on a mud,dy field the locals proved jar the better club, only the freaks of fortune keeping the score from mounting. At no time did the invaders threaten and durjng the greater part of the afternoon the ball was inside tiie Logansport forty-yard mark. ’ Rensselaer Could make but little headway against the visiting line but their aerial attack had the visitors guessing and disorganized, and many a long Rensselaer gam was recorded during the fifty minutes of play by a well directed pass. Rensselaer received the kick at the start of the game and was forced to kick after three downs. Logansport attempted line smashing but without success .and the ball went to Rensselaer on downs. The Red and Black then started a march that carried them far into Logansport territory where the crimson and white line braced and Rensselaer found hetself on the eightyard mark on the fourth down; Quarterback Moore called for a

NoWels-Collins forward pass at this point which was executed successfully, the latter pulling in the ball after a hard run and' sprinting across the line. There was nothing of interest throughout the remaining three-quarters of the game, the field being so slow that the players were unable to get under headway. The work of Beam at center for Rensselaer was the feature of the afternoon’s play. He was in practically every play and his tackling was hard and brilliant At one time he intercepted a forward pass and on two occasions.*recovered fumbles which helped the Rensselaer cause considerably. Beam has been a were two teams that bowed before star at his position for years but is not of the showy type of player, and for that reason his wonderful work has not received the credit from the fans that it would if he were of the spectacular type. The only injury to a Rensselaer player was received by Royster, who suffered a broken collarbone during the final quarter. He finished out the game, however, neither he nor his mates realizing the seriousness of his injury. He will probably be out of the game for the remainder of the season and his speed and line smashing will be greatly missed. The championship aspiration of .Rensselaer high school was handed a severe jolt Saturday afternoon when Emerson high school of Gary knocked off the locals in a one 5 sided win, the Steel City gang piling up a 24-0 count on the Red and Black. It was only the second win of the season for the upstate team which shows how much off form Coach Leighley’s men were. . A lack of team play and aggressiveness were the factors that brought defeat to Rensselaer. Coach Leighly and the team followers were greatly disappointed over the pitiful resistance Rcnsse laer put up before a team that had all season been used as a door mat by other aspiring elevens, and unless a great reversal in form can be brought about within the next three days Rensselaer is likely to again find herself on the wrong side of the ledger when Kirklin comes here Armistice day for a game.

The Garyites rushed over a touchdown three minutes after the opening whistle, pushing their way thru the Rensselaer Tine almost at wilt Rensselaer seemed to have became suddenly smitten with stage fright and were badly disorganized.. Another Gary touchdown came in the following quarter and half time found Rensselaer trailing 12 to 0. Rensselaer showed to better advantage during the final two periods and seemed on the point of scoring on two or three occasions, only to lose the ball on fumbles. The final gam/ of the season will be played next Thursday at Riverside park with Kirklin as the Armistice Day attraction.
