The following letters explain
themselves. The first one, sent out !
by James F. Goodrich, Chairman of j The last regular meeting of the the Republican State Committee, to Bryan and Kern Club will be bold Republican Precinct Committeemen, J tomorrow evening at 7: Jo o'clock In was intended to put in his possession j the assembly room of the court
the names of “from five to ten re-I | 10 , lst , w y
liable temperance Democrats." When be had secured these names, the other letter given below was mailed to them by the “Anti-Saloon League.” The letters show the close-working arrangement between the Republican State machine and the “League.” If any “reliable temperance Democrats” receive the “League’s’ ; ppeal, they will understand that it comes to them merely as a part of the Republican campaign. Here are the letters: Indianapolis, Oct. 21, 1908. My Dear Sir; This is very important. Please send us in the enclosed envelope just as quickly as possible, the names of from five to ten reliable temperance Democrats of your precinct, if you will do tills, I am sure that there will be votes made for the Republican ticket. Please write the names and postoffice addresses on the back of this sheet and return it to us in the enclosed stamped envelope by eturn mail. Very truly yours, James P. Goodrich, Chairman. When the names were received tiiis letter was sent out from Republican headquarters.
Dear Sir: In our opinion, Indiana is confronted with the most serious crisis since the civil war. Unless the friends of temperance stand together against the liquor interests -it the coming election we may lose those advantages which have been gained by years of strenuous endeavois. It is the intention of brewers and other managers of the liquor interest to elect a governor, a lieutenantgovernor and a legislature in Indiana that can he depended upon lo repeal the county local option law. They are doing their utmost to defeat Attorn-ey-General James Bingham for reelection. because he has brought suits against the leading breweries in the State to have their charters annulled on account of their constant, open and flagrant violation of law. There is no time for the friends of good government to dwell upon mere party differences or microscopic differences in temperance methods. We are confronted by a common foe, bold, brazen, determined and unscrupulous. and it is now necessary for good citizens of whatever party or church affiliations to stand together like a wall of adamant. We therefore urge voters to Maud by those candidates for re-election who voted for the passage of our county local option law. We urge that every candidate favorable to the saloon l)e defeated. For your further information we publish herewith the accurate records of the two leading candidates for governor. Do not lose sight of the fact that one of these candidates is sure to he elected the next governor of Indiana. If the people of our churches and all other decent, self-respecting and law-loving citizens will now sink minor matters out of sight and unite in this crisis to oppose the ruinous policy of the leaders of the liquor men, we can promise that this crisis will be safely passed and the liberties of the people in self-government once more successfully defended and secured. Yours for Righteous Government! Indiana Anti-Saloon League. Rev. F. O. Ballard. Rev. J. Stanfield, Rev. J. P. Cowan, A. K. Holland, Mfg. H. L. Whitehead, Real Est., Rev. E. S. Shumaker. Supt. Eli F.

each occasion.
MUST TAKE TICKETS SOON
Those who ordered lecture course tickets held for thorn at Langdon’s Hook store should see that theii tickets are all reclaimed by Saturday afternoon. Tickets will lie lie! 1 for those who find it necessary to wait until early on the evening of the per formance but it is the desire of the management that the tickets ell be reclaimed by Saturday afternoon in order to avoid confusion in the evening and in order to make way for those who are still wanting tickets for Hie course in case any of those which arc now being held shoi'iJ not be reclaimed. There are still several good seats remaining on the lower floor < f the hall and balcony. Those who are wanting tickets for the entire course should see to this before Thursday for the tickets for the single admission of Victor’s band go on sale Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The sale this year lias been a good one hut if there are any students or citizens of the city who are still in need of course tiewets they should see to it that they purchase them early this veok for they are still selling and by the tatter part of the week it h thought first-class scats on the lower floor will be hard to find. Course tickets, however, can lie purchased until the night of the first performance but those waiting that long will not have much choice. Singh- admission seats for Victor's band n«xt Saturday night wUl sell at BO and 7B cents each, the tatter goins-; on sale Thursday afternoon.
