I tariff was a tax, unjust and unreasonable. He challenged any ot.e to show that prosperity was produced by it, or panic prevented or wages raised. These things came, not so much from the tariff as from worldwide influences, from our crops, our limited population and our great op-

portunity.

He touched on most of the issues of tlie campaign, and his logical dis mission, humorous sallies and searching sarcasm kept the audience in the best of humor and enthusiasm.

•lolin W. Kern's Speech

Mr. Kern spoke briefly as he said lie was worn in strength and voice He declared, however, that he had enough of both to carry liini through the light. Hi' spent much of his tine on the question of intimidation, now the paramount issue before the people. He declared that it was Hi policy of the Republican party to frighten men into voting for Taft by crying panic, panic. He declared that Roosevelt had maintained, until recently, that the panic of last fall was brought on by the Wall Street crowd to embarrass his administration. Senator LaFollette lias stated that mo men in Wall Street were the controllers of the financial situation. Mr. Kern declared that it was his belief that Indiana and the States of Hie Union had in them yet enough of the spirit of ’7 0 and '05 to make them scorn the threats of both Taf and the select 100, enough of the spirit of patriotism to make them stand for what is right in spite of (he frowns of‘‘malefactors of wealth "and the hisses of “swollen fortunes.” He declared that it was a question of the man and the dollar, that the Re publican party was making the dollar the important issue, forgettiiu; the teaching of Lincoln, forgetting the interests of the people. He made a plea for a vote ns conscience dictated, uninfluenced by “scares” or the words of those who now speak exactly Hie opposite of their declarations before the campaign, as is the ,'ease with Theodore Roosevelt.

Two great crowds greeted John W. Kein, Indiana’s vice-presidential can(iiilale, who is stumping the state for ihe Democratic ticket, in the court hmi.-e tliis morning. Mr. Kern’s first address was made in the court room tu the largest crowd that has ever been in that room. After his address there Mr. Kern was taken to Hie Assembly room of the court house i ere he addressed another large

crowd.

iireat enthusiasm was aroused by the appearance of Mr. Kern in each meeting. Cheer after cheer greeted the speaker when he was introduced to liis audiences and every few minutes his speeches were Interrupted by clause. He spoke for about fifteen

minutes at eaeh meeting. I'ersoniicH of Kelli’s Early.

Senator Owen Speaks.

Senator Owen of Oklahoma devoted most of liis time to a discussion of the record of Taft in that state. He declared that when the constitution of Oklahoma was drawn, (hat Roosevelt opposed it, and that Taft was sent by the big interests lo advise the people not to adopt it. That Taft had opposed its injunction proviso, its employer’s liability act, its child labor law, In fact he had found nothing good in the constitution because it was for the people and against (lie “interests.” And then, said (he speaker, “the great man from Nebraska came down and advised the people to vote for the constitution, praised our constitution. And when the people of the state voted on it they voted for tile advice of Bryan and against the advice of Taft by a majority of 200,000, 70.00O Republicans voting with the Democrats for " <• constitution, and .only ;io,0(io white votes being registered against it. This was Taft’s record, a record showing him opposed to those things which are for the protection of the people, in favor of all that is to ren der more secure the control of (he “malefactors of great wealth." He created considerable applause by declaring that he believed that Unpeople of America were not ju favor of “a third term by proxy” nor of an heir apparent in the White

House.

Senator Owen declared that he had been advertised as an Indian. “According to ihe statutes of the United States l am a Cherokee hid ian,” he Paid, "but by the grace of God I am Scotch-Irish.” The senator was an ahIA speaker and contributed much to a clear understanding of Mr Taft’s position on questions of moment at (he present time. S|M'eeh for Old Soldiers. General Weaver of Iowa also spoke on intimidation. He is an old ^ soldier, and his speech was pointed j with illustrations from the war and the record of soldiers. He declared that in the war he had seen Indiana

soldiers do most brave deeds, in (hr face of death for their country and their duty. He did not believe that these men or their sons could be frightened into voting against what they believed right by any cry of “panic.” He had rather, he said hand down lo his posterity povertv ami ideals of duty and freedom than to hand down wealth and the idea tha: the dollar controls all things and all

men.

Further he stated that w*e could not have a panic because of Bryan" election cm n if Wall Street wished it for we are immune. The man wholia the smallpox can not take it Hie se ■ ond time while he slill has the fever of the first attack. Wall Street brought on one panic, according to Roosevelt, lo embarrass the present ; administration. That panic still exists and no other can come till it is out I of the way. Tie quoted from yesterday's paper to show that Rockefeller and Uai negle had declared for Taft. He asked Republicans who had learned from Roosevelt to distrust these men whether they could have faith in the man those men were hacking. He called upon men to vote their convictions, leaving the fear of panics with the weaklings and the cowards, whose sense of duty and whose ideal are never higher than their pockets. General Weaver could hardly lie dragged away from liis speech to catch It is car. Many old soldiers rushed up to shake his hand, and Inhad literally to be dragged away from the enthusiastic friends he had made in IDs short speech.

KERN AT RDACHOALE

In telling of J. W. Kern's trip yesterday the Indianapolis News said last night: At Roaelidale, en route, where the train stopped for about three minutes, a crowd at the station shouted for a view of the nominee. M-. Kern appeared on the steps of the ear and. when the cheering ceased, said: “You look mighty good to me, gentlemen. Everything in Indiana, and in tin- country looks good. The only chance left to I lie opposition now is to try lo scare you with threats of panic into voting for Taft.” To Smash Panic-Creating Power. “They can’t scare us worth a cent,” some one in the crowd Interrupted. “We are calling on you men lo smash that, power which can bring about a panic to order.” “That’s what we’ll do next Tuesday,” shouted another. “How’s (he boy?” asked a grayhaired old man, Hie oldest Democrat in Putnam county, crowding liis way to tlie steps and grasping the candidate’s hand as the train moved out. He got till- heartiest handshake of all with Ihe answer, “Geting along line, thank you, sir.” At Russell a small crowd was waiting. Mr. Kern again came out and wag assured that tin- county (Putnam) would go Democratic.

IS EASY ON HIS WEN

Fearing further Injury to liis team Hoach Brown yesterday confined his work-out to signal practice and catching punts. it is now thought Greenstreet will lie out of the game Saturday with his injure 1 shoulder. The injury is not healing as fast as was expected and the loss of the half hack will be a severe blow to the Old Gold lineup. Scott Is working cut at tin- right half position. Coach Speik of Purdue has been giving his squad daily scrimmage practice on Stuart Field during the week and hi.; men will he hardened for a severe struggle. Although the squad at Lafayette lias a list if cripples to straighten up by Saturday alt cases of injury seem slight and Purdue will probably meet DePauw with a sound team. One of the strongholds of the Purdue play is their use of tin- forward pass and tin* Methodists will use every effort to curb the success of the Play.

Football Excursion. The Mouon will run an excursion to Lafayette on Saturday on account of the DePauw football game. The train will leave Greencastle at 12 o'clock, noon, ami will stop only at Crawfordsville. Returning tin- train will leave Lafayette at ti p. m. Fanil for the round trip.
