The much advertised “all you colei' (I men come up to the Republican I' iilquurters tonight and hear a white man tell the truth” meeting v i one grand fizzle. To mention it tn a Republican this morning was cause for a burst of anger from the C 0 I’, member. They wouldn’t even tell who the “white man,” who
adilr sed the meeting was.
Ti ■ was a fair portion of Ureeni 'si h colored men out for the r i Mug. But they were the dlsgust- ■ i I >t this morning. Curiosity to 1' irn who the man was “win could ti ll the truth” caused many of them
to attend.
1 ic •nifleance of the sign was !' 1 this morning from a colored m n who attended. Charley Case, of Oklahoma, former mayor of Green1 ast!■ was the speaker. Mr. Case did not talk politics. He gave the

1: ter\ of his life leaving out many of the Interesting features. I t"' colored men saw the point. C 1 was afraid ho could not discuss I’Mi'C's and tell the truth—Republl1 ai this year are stearing clear of b ruth- so he avoided discussing i s. Several of the colored men,
told all the events of his life Needless to say he would not even do that. The main address of the evening was followed by a discourse—notice the “discourse” by William Lock ridge. The meeting was personally conducted by Mr. Loekridge and of course lie got the last say. It is said that he attempted to discuss the Issues of the campaign but got mixed in his dates and confused “hank guarantee” and “tariff reform.” It was his first political address, however, and so the mlxup can he ex-
cused.
There was much doing just previous to the meeting. Loekridge was on the war path and swore that Charley should not address the meeting. Whether he (wanted to he the "speaker of the evening” himself or was afraid that Charley would make a break is not made clear. Anyhow there was much stir among the Republican leaders and finally ^natter
were adjusted.
Charley got so enthusiastic, so i* is said, that the Republican leaders thought it best to get him out of town before he opened up his heart and told the story of his "whole life." Case left town on an early train. This morning the Republicans would not mention the meeting unless something was asked about it. Then they would declare ignorance regarding the identity of the speaker of the evening. The colored men were a disgusted lot. The insinuation yesterday afternoon that a colored man could not tell the truth and the fact that the meeting last night was a fizzle caused them to sit
up and take notice.
"Do the Republicans think they can do with us as they please." one inf them said tills morning. “Do thi > •>j think that we are so ignorant that we *•* i could not comprehend a discussion of
l
^ j the political issues. Why then do they 4 | ha ve an Oklahomian tell us his llfe-
❖ history.”

JOHN W. KERN WILL BE
HERE TOMORROW
!
The last regular meeting of the Bryan and Kern Club was held last night in the assembly room of the eourt house. The speaker of the evening was W. V. Rooker, formerly student of DePauw and later a printer, member of the Typographical Union and an attorney for the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Rooker told in a very interesting way how tlie organization of the Typographical Union had shortened hours and raised wages. He made it quite plain that tin* tariff had no part in their rise except to compel the men to pay double for the necessities of life. He declared that as an attorney for the Federation he had argued cases before Judge Taft, and confirmed the labor view of the Republican candidate. lie spoke at length of the tariff and the taxes it imposed, a tax not in proportion to a man's wealth but in proportion to the size of the family and ills need for the necessities of life. Tlie speech was strong in facts, and made many things plain that liave not, heretofore been thoroughly understood by many people. Not all the colored voters attended the "white man telling the truth" meeting, as many were out to hear Rooker
Fn route to Indianapolis from Kansas City president Edwin Holt Hughes stopped off at DePauw yesterday afternoon and remained until this morning. Bishop Hughes gave ;.n address in Kansas City, Tuesday night and went to Indianapolis today t<> attend the meeting of American Bishops. There was joint chapel services this morning led by President Hughes. The hall was full to overflowing and both Bishop Hughes and the students seemed overjoyed. In a brief interview Dr . Hughes said that he misses the university greatly and that lie grows homesick for DePauw. One of the fir&t places Dr. Hughes went to on his arrival was the new library. Its imposing appearance pleased him greatly. The president then took a short drive with several of the faculty members. Dr. Hughes will return Friday from Indianapolis.
JOHN MITCHELS POSITION
THAT GRIFFITHS SPEECH
MR. MARSHALL'S CHARACTER An Open Letter Diretted to the Republicans W ho Have Been Sending Out Slanders with Regard to the Democratic Candidate for Governor.
Orator Promises Dispassionate Diseussinn of the Campaign Issues And Then Devotes His Time to lli-.tort ami a Reckless Denunc-
iation of Bryan.
SPEECH COMMITTED TO MEMORY
John L. Griffiths, of Indianapolis, h Republican of substance like unto Taft, spoke to a well-filled room at tlie opera house this afternoon. Mr. Griffiths spoke as one who has committed well his speech. At times when tlie place was reached for applause he had to wait over-long for the feeble hand-clapping, but sooner or later some one came to his assist-
ance and started the noise.
The orator began by declaring that ho proposed a dispassionate discussion of the issues of the campaign. He soon forgot this, however, and launched into a review of history and a partisan denunciation of Bryan. The issues were largely forgotten. He dwelt upon what he styled the “Impossible new Bryan,” and did the “scare head” business in good style, hut advanced little argument of any
kind.
The audience filled the chairs of the lower floor and were scattered along the first two rows of seats in the balcony. About half the crowd wen* women and many Democrats, drawn by the speaker’s reputation as a fnn maker, were also present. The speech pleased the radical Republicans and
affected no one else.
To the People
Within tlie received from
persons living
First Presbyterian Church Rev. A. 1). Sutherland
Minister.
Columbia City., Ind., October L’d. 1908.
of Indiana;
last few days I have a large number of in different parts of
the state, letters addressed to me as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Columbia City, making inquiries as to the truth of charges seriously reflecting on tlie sobriety and general moral character of the Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic
candidate for Governor.
Upon my own initiative and without the suggestion or knowledge of Mr. Marshall, and Wholly in tlie interest of fairness and decency, 1 take the liberty of addressing tlie people of this Commonwealth, in answer to
these many inquiries.
Mr. Marshall is not a drunkard, but on the contrary is a total abstainer; a practical, consistent temperance man, yet not a hypocrit nor a fanatic. His influence and support are foremost in every moral and philanthropic movement in this city. No breath of scandal of any kind rests upon him here, but he is loved and admired by all right living, right thinking moral people, irrespective of
sect or party.
Mrs. Marshall has always accompanied her husband on his business trips since their marriage, and she is but continuing the custom now. Having no children, it is a matter of congeniality for them to travel together; besides she is a great support to him with her sympathy and intelligent interest In this arduous campaign. Language can not fitly portray my indignation that partisan depravity should not even spare tier name. I can speak with authority concerning his home and church life, for I am his pastor, and he is a faithful parishioner and church officer. His home life is ideal as all who have shared ita generous hospitality will bear witness. As a churchman, Mr. Marshall is most conscientious, never missing a service nor shirking a duty
found their man gone they at once when at home. He lias been a mem-
became anxious, and their anxiety increased when they were told that he I had been seen going away with I several Democrats. Visions of a kidj napping rose before tlie minds of the j tardy committee. And they were only quieted when Griffiths was found enjoying himself at the Phi
i Psi house.
FEARED SPEAKER WAS CAPTURED This morning Chairman Zeis and B. F. Corwin went to the interurban sUition to meet Mr. Griffiths, the Republican speaker of the afternoon. Both gentlemen were late and when they reached the station the speaker was gone. As a mater of fact several students had been present when Mr. Griffiths arrived, had made themselves known to him, and had taken him over to tlie Phi Psi house. When Messrs. Zeis and Corwin arrived and

Repubilcan papers have spem much time lately, attempting ti prove that John Mitchell, ex-presi-dent of the Mine Workers of Ainerii ■ was not for Bryan. Tin- followin ; shows the untruth of such statement - Editor New York World; “In accordance with your invitntion I wish to state that, in my judgment, the election of Bryan would Isfor the best interests of the whole nation. “He stands on the much beter platform and will be guided by it in the event of his election. M,\ Taft is “handicapped by the zealous advocacy of IBs cause by the predatory rich. Honest wealth and have nothing to fear in Bryan , election. “JOHN MITCHELL

FEARS DEMOCRAT INVESTIGATION
In a. speech delivered Tuesday night at Indianapolis Ex-Mayor John Holtzman makes some charges against Governor Hanly that ar" well worth remembering and thinking over. Tlie charges are from rcoor.L in the slate house and slio.v th< worst of ini£-inanageinent, graft, and inconi potency, it is flatly charged that the Governor fears tlie ' lection of a Democratic governor because Ik fears the investigation of his record and acts that would follow. Mr Holtztnan’s charges as quoted by Tin News are as follows: According to the report of the le_ islative committee, the estimate o the cost of tlie new deaf and dum' school was $325,000. Plan woprepared for a building to cost tlia amount. Accordingly, an app ipi i ■ tion of $315,000 was made. Tic n Port of the commission Intiuste with the work shows that tlie tota cost of the building contra ted fo would he $ 1 ,o 1 1,7 I I. \fter the a p pi opi iatlon was mad", tlie origina architect was discharged, another nm employed, and the plans changed ■ as to make the building cost *ver million dollars, which was $750,001 in excets of tlie appropriation Tlx legislative committee on Slate edn a tional, benevolent and corre'tiona institutions for the year 1907 show that the total cost of Purdue i nivei fifty, with its 1,658 students, was onl $1,062,880. It is believed tint th deaf and dumb school, with |e s that 400 students, will cost $ 1.2.>0,1100 Tlie cost of this new school will 1> equal to tlie cost of Purdue Unlver fifty, or of the State Pniversity am State Normal School combine". Here is a clear ease of reoklos ex travagance. The State House cos only $2,000,000, and this school loi the deaf and dumb, with an averagi daily enrollment of only 3 11, wil cost $1,250,000. It deserves, not merely criticism, but the severest am sharpest condemnation. Mr. Holt ', man charges that $300,OOu woith ol the stone used was purchased fron three Republican politicians, friend' of the Governor. He further sayi that ninety feet of the wall collapsed throwing the stone cornice and tin brick wall to the ground, and that one of the rear walls bulged outwaiu to such an extent that it had to Ik taken down and rebuilt. The whole construction is said to be flimsy and unsafe, and itoi fireproof.
