His terrific line bucking was repeatedly cheered. He made two touchdowns from line plunges of fifteen yards each, hut the climax of his work was the third touchdown when he went through DePauw’s line for twenty yards, carrying several men on his back until the crossed the Methodist’s goal. Holloway’s Interference was especially fine, being as good as ever shown on Stuart Field.

At the close of the day before election there is nothing in the situation to cause the Democrats to lose hope. The claims of the Republicans are acknowledged by conservative Republican leaders to he based on very unsubstantial grounds. As a matter of fact those who are closely watching the situation declare that there has been little change In the last week, and what small change there has been was toward Bryan. The Rockefeller and Harriman endorsement of the Taft ticket has had its effect in causing some Republicans, whose prejudices were not I quite overcome, to slip from

Bodkin, class of ’77, DePauw, spoke in connection with the evening service. She recently represented California In the national meeting of the Woman’s Homo Missionarv Society at Philadelphia. The address was preceded by an interesting service of song conducted by the choir.

tho

Democratic ranks, nothing to send

Democrats into the Republican ranks. The scare stories are failing to work, owing to the fact that a Republican panic is now on and also to the fact that the stories are sa exaggerated and improbable. Many Republicans acknowledge that if the money to he used tomorrow does not change the complexion of affairs the

party will be defeated.

Walter Wellman, writing for the Chicago Record-Herald declares that 1 it will be very close In Indiana, Ohio and New York, not more than thirty thousand votes either way In all three states. We believe that In Indiana Marshall will lead tho ticket \ with Bryan very close behind him. There is little doubt of Marshall's election. Again Republican claims j are worthless as material to get a I line on the situation. There has been little change in the Watson-Marshall ; 4 fight for a week and their Is likely to he little. It looks like Marshall by

25,000 or more.

Conditions in Putnam County have improved daily for the past week. Within the last days Republicans heretofore thought to be unmovable have declared that they will vote a scratched ticket, and some have declared for a straight Democratic ticket. It looks as if Bryan would surpass the majority given him in 1890 by a goodly number. All tho county ticket will make gains and an unusually large vole is looked for. Ralph Moss bids fair to win over Maxwell, as large majorities are promised him in Clay, Vigo and Vermillion counties, as well as in Putnam, while Hendricks Morgan and Parke will cut down materially the former Republican majorities. Hostetler is one of the sure ones and will win with a large vote. Things never looked brighter for Democracy. With a clean ticket, clearly defined Issues and a united party things are surely

coming our w-ay.

Bittles and a Yew of their friends and families gathered at the home of Jesse XVeik, about noon with well-filled baskets and walked In on the Bittles family surprising them completely, it took Mrs. Bittles several minutes to compose herself hut she proved herself equal to the occasion. It did not take long to lengthen out the lining table and unload the baskets of provisions and the table fairly groaned with everything that was gootl to eat. Mr. and Mrs. Bittles were seated at the end of the table witli Mr. and Mrs. H. <’. Allen beside them, being rujnored that it was their anniversary also, but not the 25th. They had been married a few years: also. After all had gathered around the table ‘‘Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow" was sung. Dr. Hoagland offered prayer. After all had been bountefully supplied Mrs. XVeik in lies- inimitable way made a speech and presented the bride and groom with one-half dozen silver spoons.

Greencastle’s hero worshipping spirit was well shown yesterday by the crowd that turned out to hear the Bishop who had once been a citizen of Greeneastle and president of DePauw university. Some time before the hour announced for the address Meharry Hall was filled to overflowing, and a large number who came slightly after the appointed hour stood in the hallways or were obliged to return to their homes without hearing Bishop Hughes. Few crowds of this size have tilled Meharry Hall to hear any man at other than commencement times. Bishop Hughes spoke of the ballot and the duties of citizenship, lie declared that the interests of tho community were superior to the interests of party. That it was the duty of each man to cast his vote, If only to register his opposition to the candidates in case all were equallv had. He believed that the men on tho tickets and the principles for which they stood should Influence the voter much more than any idea of party. Every man should vote for the best interests of his community, his state and his nation, not to preserve a

party.
