EVADE TIIE LAW We have had mueli, lately, of tlv Republican attitude on campaign contributions. We have been to’d that they would abide by the la s’ and accept no money from corpora tious. and make public the contributions iftcr election. Now we learn, from first-hand material, that this is only a bluff, and that the law is to be evaded, the contributions coming from the corporations in the form of checks made out in the names of individuals instead of bearing the corporate name. Yesterday there fell by mistake into tlie hands of a Democrat of the city a letter sent out by the Republican National committee asking for money. One clause of that letter is especially interesting ir the light of the Republican attitude on the question of contributions. It reads as follows: “Congress recently passed an act making it unlawful to solicit money ft>r political purposes from corporations. All funds, therefore, for the campaigns must tie supplied by individuals. Those connected with your company are asked to tiring this matter to the attention of their business associates and ask each to send a check.” This interesting epistle is signed by J. Wood Wilson, the fat-fryer for the National Committee in Indiana. The corporations are asked to contribute, but as Individuals, that no tafnt may be discerned. It is simply a method of avoiding the law. The mViriey will bo on hand, as the chairman of tlie state Republican committee suggested, “for tlie last days of the campaign."

OVER ENTHUSIASM It happens, now and again, that men. perfectly honest, heroine so enthusiastic over some particular thing that ttie) lose all sense of persfA-ot-ive, see only one side, and become biased and radical. Such men, in in their over-enthusiasm, become not onlv biased In view, but also exaggerated in statement. Smail things become mountains, ordinary acts are distorted into acts ef crime and corruption. A story Illustrating this attitude lias jus! come to hum’ it has to do with a member of th'* state legislature. Some time ago. when the $1,000 license was up some of his friends, much Interested in temperance, advised him strong’y to vote for it. He did not believe it a rigtit measure and refused to da as they requested. Immediately they became over-enthusiastic, declared that he had forfeited his maohood, that Ik* had betrayed his people, that ke had wrecked tiis lif.;, sold out to the saloon interests, and In other exaggerated statements pointed out that they would see to it that liis political future was ruined forever. Later, when the county local option fight was on, this man, after careful consideration of the question, came to the conclusion that it was right, and voted for the measure. At once the men who had

Mr. Osear Lane, candidate for representative on the Republican ticket, writes ns that we have been iinjusl to the Anti-Saloon League. He holds lhat the League lias a righ to support him and to turn from Mi Hostetler. We quite agree. If the League believes Mr. Lane will do all its behests without question, and I nows Mr. Hostetler will not, then they are surely right, from th standpoint of politics, to support Mr. Lane. Wo have never quarreled with ihis position. Our quarrel was with the statements, direct and implied, that Mr. Hostetler, because tic refused, for good and sufficient reas ons, to vote for this particular meas ure, was, therefore, corrupt, a trait or to his pledges, an ally of tlie saloon i iterests. This does not follow, aid we object to the biased and unfouml'-d statements. The Leagm las a right to support Mr. Lane. It lias no rigtit to accuse Mr. Hosteller of dishonesty, or to insinuate that his character has been smirched. This, and this only, we contend.

Where Bullets Klew. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: “The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. 1 then tried Electric Bitters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well.” 50c at the Owl Drug Store

HURRAH FOR GEORQ1A1

At the election for governor last week Georgia gave the Democratic candidate a majority of 100.000 over the Republican-Hcarst combination. . The vote was heavy and Democratic gain is nearly 40,000 over four years ago.

• l;ir other than many at There is no stopping the Democratic e thought it, and that the , _ , ,, .

tidal wave. Every state election so far held shews that it is irresistible.

IRVING TO EXPLAIN" THLIR EXTRAVAGANCE. .lohii Rillheiiner, Republican candidal - for stale auditor, lias taken his turn at the task of trying to explain tiie enormous increase in the cost of the stati* government since the Republican party has been In power. Governor Hanly first tried his hand at the job, and then came Candidate Watson. All that these men have been able to do has only emphasized the fact (hat for twelve years the people of Indiana have been bled by a horde of political cormorants who looked upon the taxes paid by the people as partisan plunder. Neither Hanly, Watson nor Billhelnier, nor any other Republican speak er or newspaper lias disputed the fact that the same offices In the state house which cost $t:!1,! ,l *fi a year under Democratic rule, cost last y« ar, under Re publican administration $925,470, as shown by the appropriation arts. Governor Hanly cannot deny that the annual appropriation for ids office Is now $58,550, ns against $12,020 under Matthews And Mr. Billheimer cannot deny that the appropriations for the state auditor’s office are now $64,020. as against $12,800 under the last Democratic state auditor. Nor can they nr anybody else deny that the appropriations for all of the ottier slate offices have been Increased in like proportion until the aggregate of increases amounts to $492,570 a year more than was found necessary by the Democrats. Hanly, Watson, Billheimer and all the rest of the “explainers” fall back upon the fact that certain state offices prior to 1895 drew fees in addition to their salaries. This is tine, but it affected only the individual compensation of the official and bore no other relation to the expense of the office. But. these fees were not allowed nor drawn by Democratic officials after the taking effect of the fee and salary law passed by the Democratic legislature of 1891, which exempted persons then in office from its operations. Tlie Indianapolis Star, Republican state organ, comes to the rescue of the wasters of public money, in an editorial a column long it says that “Mr. Marshall, candidate for governor of Indiana, also raises the cry of extrava ganee in regard to Republican stati administrations, and makes many loose asserllons in regard to tax levies and the cost of operating the various state offices and institutions.” Air. Marshall has, indeed, raised the “cry of extravagance,” mid he will continue to raise it, but he has not made a single statement which is not tn accordance with the facts and susceptible of proof by the official records. He lias kept himself strictly within the truth, and it is the ban* truth that causes such panic among the tax-eaters. The Republican offi cials and their organ are only trying to distorl the facts and twist the fig ures, hoping thereby to muddy the water and mislead the voters, but they will not succeed.

A CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED BRIBERY.

“NOT THE CASE AT ALL," WATSON.

In a speech at Hammond on Oct. 3. Mr. Watson, one of the Republican candidates for governor—Mr. Hanly not being present—had the following to say on the county option bill: “My fellow citizens, the baby has been born and it is named. Now. some parties are saying that we propose to put all saloons out of busln< s right off That is not the case at all. The law simply provides that the people of Lake county, if they want to have local option, they ran have it: but before they can get it 20 per cent of the entire voting population of the county, which at tiiis time would be more than 5,000 voters, must first sign a petition to the county commissioners asking for a special election.” From the above extract it will be seen that Mr. Watson wanted the people of Hammond to understand just how difflrult it ts going to be to apply the county option law in their county. Ho was particularly arvious that the Hammond saloon keepers should know that they were not to be “put out of business.” Such a thing, he declared, was "not the case at all.” But just listen to .Ii'sms in a different locality!

Everyone who knows Luther W. 1 Knisely, a repn si illative in the legls-j lature from Ih kail) ■ ounty. knows that! he is an hon si. conscientious man, who is res pec icd L\ Ids neighbors re-J gardlcss of parly. He is a quiet, uu-j assuming man. who dislikes notoriety. But when he was improperly approach ed with an offer of appointment to of-j flee if he would desert ids party and! vote for Governor Hanly’s county option bill, he thought it his duty to] make the tact public. Within an hour after the dishonorable proposition hail been made, Mr. Knisely denounced it on the floor of the house. Later he made an affidavit setting out the facts Involving Republican Senator Wiekwlre and Governor Hanly. Then there was great squirming among the Republican schemers. Doubtless they had not dreamed that a practice, so usual and ordinary among Republican politicians of their class, would cause so nnich fuss. The trouble was I hat they had run up against an honorable man and in that had made a "mistake.” Everybody knew that Mr. Knisely had told the

truth.

The governor, with great apparent indignation, called for a legislative inquiry. This was held and Mr. Knisely reiterated his story. Tlie governor declared that he had only talked to Knisely “on high moral grounds,” and Wlckwire said lie was "misunderstood,’' etc., etc. The investigating committee expressed confidence in Knisely, gave the governor a neat (but thin) coat of whitewash, hut failed to exonerate Wlckwire. And then Wiekwlre declared that the committee had made a "scapegoat” out of him. He tried to see Hanly, but the governor was not to he seen The legislature adjourned, leaving Wlckwire in the air. and at last account's lie was still trying to "see Hanly,” who was still sturdily refusing to be seen. SLANDERING TRAVELING MEN. A large proportion of the traveling men who represent houses doing busi ness In Indiana are supporting Bryan and Kern and Marshall. There are many Republicans among them. They are opposed to Taft and Sherman and Watson and doubtless they make their opposition known wherever they go. No class of men are better Informed on public questions, especially those which affect their interests. The Republican organization Is trying to break down the influence of these men. James E. Watson’s home organ, the Rushville Republican, is particularly slanderous and vicious. On Sept. 17th that papei published an article which the Republican organization is distributing. From this article we take the following: “For several weeks traveling men have been going up and down the state crying down Watson at every opportunity. The only unfavorable reports heard this fall could be traced to the traveling men. * * « * * “It has now developed that the socalled traveling men are fakes, pure and simple, nothing more than hirelings of the brewers, who are behind the Democratic state committee In the present campaign. And some of them are the worst type of individuals, such as crooks, bartenders, hangers-on, exconvicts and the like. * * Most of their pictures can be found in the rogue’s gallery in Indianapolis and other eilies. * * Think of men of tiiis type going about the state spreading malicious reports atiout a man aspiring for the great office of gover-

nor!"

These extracts from the article are sufficient to show its purpose, which is to cast discredit upon every traveling salesman who dares to express opposition to the Republican party and its candidates. It is a disreputable piece of business, but it will not close the mouth of any honest man. The publication and circulation of the story has been denounced by (raveling men’s clubs as a peculiarly vicious and senseless slander.

<~X"X*'X~x~X“X'*-:'-x~X'-x*'X'*'X Mr. Editor: Referring to the secret letter of the Anti-Saloon League against Mr. Hostetter and urging the election of Mr. Lane, as explained in your daily of the 10th, proves one thing, namely: The League having had the united support of all temperance people regardless of party affiliatlohs, (of which Mr. Hostetter was one), sought to betray the Democrats Into the Republican party. And they said to Hanly call a special session and we will deliver them to you. For a parallel case read Mat*:. 26th chapt. 14-25, “Then one of the Twelve, called Judas Iscariot, wen*, unto the Chief Priests and said unto them, what will ye give me and I w'll deliver Him unto you? and they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

“Funny Jim” 'Sherman and Longworth. Roosevelt’s son-in-law. pretend to be desperately afraid that something may happen to the geld standard. The Republicans have declared in two campaigns that they had established the gold standard "firmly,” but Funny Jim and the equally funny Nick say that the whole thing can lie overturned by “executive order.” This is not true, but that fact doesn’t keep these two great statesmen from telling it.

The legislature kicked Governor Hanly’s "night rider”•bill into the ashbeap, but he is going to “throw” himself Into the campaign "for all he is worth,” It is announced. Two years ago he did the same tiling and the Republican party lost 60,000 votes. And now It will lose 60,000 more.
