SOUGHERTY GETS "IN BAD" MEDAL

Denounces Postal Savings Bank Law From Banker's Side.

MARS MARSHALL'S MEETING

Rank and File Democrats Who Stood For Postal Savings Bank Law Severely Shocked by Bad Taste of

Magnate—Serves to Remind People

of Pledge Breaking by Indiana Democratic Law Makers.

Hugh Dougherty is ihe latest Democrat to "spill the beans." In hi? speech at the Marshall opening of the Democratic state campaign, Mr. Dougherty, president of a trust company, assailed Senator Beveridge because the latter championed the postal savings hank law. Mr. Dougherty holds that the postal savings bank law is a mistake.

Democratic politicians were extremely sore at Dougherty for carrying his banker's advertisement and business prejudice into the Marshall meeting. Dougherty's foolish break was passed in profound silence. But liis folly was more discussed following the meeting than was the address of Governor Marshall

Dougherty ignored the fact that the Democratic national platform of 1908 called for the postal savings bank law. He ignored the fact that the law was so written as to embody the Democratic platform idea. He forgot, or he did not know, that many Democrats voted for the law.

It is true that ten of the Indiana Democratic congressmen and Senator Shively voted against the law, thus violating their party's pledge. But the action of this little controlled group of Democrats was not enough to prove the law to be wrong. It remained for Mr. Dougherty and his trust company complaint to convince the people that they have been mistaken in asking for postal savings banks. Other countries have had such banks for many years, and they have succeeded abroad. Mr. Dougherty apparently ignores that fact, along with other truths. He says: "It is not my purpose tonight to deliver an extended address. I have always thought that the presiding officer of a great meeting like this makes a serious mistake when he encroaches upon the time of the one who is selected to make the address. But 1 have lived long enough and seen the effects of a deception in politics until I have reached the conclusion that it is every man's duty, as well as his privilege, to take part in the progressive questions of the day. "Senator Beveridge is now ending hisf second term as United States senator. 1-le has had time enough to be tried out and to determine whether ..e should be his own successor or not. One of the things that Senator Beveridge has performed as a senator from Indiana is to champion one of the bills that has become a law. That statute makes a provision for the postal savings bank. The average man, dare say, has not studied this question and therefore may indorse his action when, if he had looked into the question and into the future far enough to see the effects of that statute, he would very earnestly condemn it. "One of the reasons given by Senator Beveridge, as well as by the president of the United States, for the passage of this law is that they want a Kf fe place for the deposits of the laboring man. This declaration itself 13 a libel upon the best institution in th« state of Indiana. When they said tnar tie deposits of the laboring man are not safe in the trust companies and savings banks they uttered what is not true. The records show that during the history of the last ten or fifteen years no one has ever hist one dollar through a trust company in Indiana. "Every dollar that is deposited in the postal savings bank that should go into the trust companies and savings banks of Indiana, as well as throughout the entire country, is one dollar taken away which has been available for the purpose of home building. Home building, my friends, is the thing which makes good citizens. But Senator Beveridge has championed this law. As I dare say the result will be, as we go down the times, that we will all realize that we have made a mistake that will be fastened on to us firmly."

Will Act Accordingly.

The Indianapolis Sun is trying to convey the idea that $9 hogs are a glut

011

the market that the farmer would rather sell more hogs at a less price. The fact is that the farmer can sell hogs as fast as he can raise them at the market price which now is in the neighborhood of $9. "The farmer ia no man's fool." He knows on which side his bread is buttered and he will act accordingly on election day.— Hnshville Republican.

Cattle Bring Riches.

R. H. Hodgkin, of Waveland, sold a carload of two year old Hereford steers in Chicago the other day at $8.30 per hundred pounds. He topped the Chicago market on a day when 20,000 cattle were sold. He traveled home with some $1,800 in his wallet. And he is not saying a word about forcing prices to lower larsla.

STATE TICKET'S SPLENDID APPEAL

Republican Candidates Positive In Popular Standing.

MAKING FBIENBS EVERYWHERE

Men Who Are Stating the Republican Cause tc Voters Give Strength to the Party and Lend Forceful Argument to Good Government Campaign

Something About the Candidates Who Ask For Consideration.

Indiana Republicans have a decided advantage in the fact that their candidates for state offices are able to make an effective campaign for votes. Each candidate has his own positive strength and popular hold on the people. Otis Gulley, for secretary of state, has shown in many meetings and communities his remarkable ability as a speaker. His eloquence, his candor, vigor, frankness and sincerity make a decided appeal. He is up from the land, and has won success and made fame as a lawyer. He is selfmade, and has met the people where they live, during all the years of his development as a leader. So when he goes to them with an appeal for support, he is able to make them listen and understand.

John E. Reed, for auditor of state, carries dignity, weight and the solidity that goes witn experience. He has been tried in *bsi public service, and has made good so strongly as to merit and obtain the indorsement of men of all parties. He is a force for good politics, healthful business methods and expert efficiency and economy in state management. Indiana owes to tne sagacity and fidelity of John E. Reed and to the Republican officers at the statehouse of past administrations, a large consideration. It is only justice for the voter to weigh the candidates carefully when voting for state officers.

Jonce Mnnvhan, for treasurer of state, is substantial, practical, successful in business and dependable in every way. His friends are finding that Mr. Monyhan is well acquainted the state over, an a that in most sections he will run exceptionally well because of his personal popularity and affiliations with men who do things.

Finley P. Mount, for attorney general, is a splendid leader of the sturdy manhood of the state. Ne is the son of a farmer, and is a large figure at the bar of Indiana, where he has made a forward place by his own efforts and ability. Mr. .Mount is a fine speaker, and his addresses in the present campaign have been heard with great pleasure and profit by the voters in all parts of tlie state.

Ed V. Fitzpatrick, for clerk of the supreme and appellate courts, knows the voter? of all parties, and is remembered pleasantly wherever he lias made himself acquainted. Mr. Fitzpatrick's unfailing courtesy and willingness to serve the public whenever called on, join with his efficiency to make him deserving as well as popular. .I. L. Feetz. statistician, who is running to succeed himself, is a skillful and practical statistician, whose experience dates lack of his present term in the office. Mr. Peetz has won commendation from authorities beyond (he state for his methods, his accuracy and his originality, lie is an expert and adds industry and zeal to thorough qualification along scientific lines.

Samuel 0. Ferrell, for superintendent of public instruction, has back of him in the campaign the great bulk of the educators of th- state, and the school patrons who uve at heart the best interests of the school system. Mr. Ferrell has had wide experience as a school man, and his success has been unusual. He has achieved success largely because he has been a ha*i worker and a -nan of ideas. He has served as a country teacher, as a teacher, ward principal,- high school teacher and

principal,

city superinten­

dent and county superintendent of schools. He worked his way through college. There is no phase of educational •work with which he has not made himself familiar. He is the ideal superintendent of public instruction.

W. S. JiJs-U'vJey, for state geologist, needs no encomiums. He ought to be re-elected unanimously. Such is his fitness and record as to make his retention vitally necessary.

Cuts Both Ways.

The Washington Realty Company closed a Daviess county sale the past week. F. E. McMullen of Areola, Illinois, has bought the Adeline Powers farm in ISImore township at $120 per" acre.—Washington Democrat.

Land values are sustained by crop prices. The Washington Democrat, and some other Democrats, &,fe preaching "low prices" this year. What would Mr. McMullen think of a price cut that would rob him of half his land valuc?

Keep 'Em Apart.

It is significant of the extraordinary harmony exirting between Mr. Kern and Senator Shively that they open their campaigns in the extremes of the state, the one at Evansville and the other at LaPorte. Can they keep '9is £hat far apart throughout the campaign?—Evansville Journal News.

DEFY OILY DOSS AND HIS "WHIP"

Taggart's Theory of Democracy Not Binding On Progressives.

DEFECTIONS ARE NUMEROUS

Former Democrats Who Refuse to Be Lashed Into Line by Threats or Other Boss Methods "A Democrat

Is a Man Who Votes the Democratic Ticket," Says Taggart Free Men Laugh at the Decree.

The Taggart bureau is swinging the party lash. In an editorial printed in several Democratic papers the Taggart decree is set forth as follows: "A Democrat is a man who votes the Democratic ticket. This is a matter o? principle. It is the old-fashioned way."

But the whistle of the lash has no effect on James L. Keach, riva? of Taggart in Marion bounty leadership among Democrats.

The whip does not frighten W. J. Bryan, national leader of Democrats, who has bolted the head of the Nebraska Democratic ticket.

The swish of the blacksnake does not scare Judge George W. Thompson, Democrat, of Indianapolis, who has begun a speaking campaign for the Republican ticket.

The crack of the Taggart lash has no effect on E. B. Funk, Princeton, who is out for Beveridge and against Kern, though for twenty years a Democrat,

Dudley Straughn of Rockville doesn'.t mind the whip, but is out working against Taggartism.

Cy Davis of Linton has been in revolt against the boss for some time. Will V. Rooker of Hamilton county, candidate for supreme judge in the Democratic state convention, pays no heed to the Taggart whip.

Douglas Dobbins of Shelby county does not hesitate to read the warning of the times to Taggart henchmen.

Charles Menzies of Mt. Vernon, in defiance of the Democratic bosses, has become a Republican.

William Dobbins, labor leader, refuses to bow to bossism, and is out working for the Republican legislative ticket in Marion county, though he is a Democrat.

The list grows every day.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS

A Beveridge-Heaton club, with a big membership, has been organized at Ft. Wayne.

The Republican meetings being held over the state are eys openers as far as attendance and interest go.

The election this year occurs November 8. One who moves from a precinct in less than thirty days immediately preceding the date of election will be ineligible to vote.

David D. Robidaugh, one of the Democratic candidates for representative from Elkhart county, terms John W. Kern a "Yellow Hammer," because, he says. Kern showed such a "Yellow Streak."

There will be one big day in Indiana, October IS, especially along the line of the Big Four route from the Illinois to the Ohio line, as Col. Roosevelt has promised a number of speeches.

The Mitchell Commercial runs over a splendid picture of Senator A J. Beveridge, the caption, "A Hoosier Teddy."

The Butler Beveridge club, formed at Butler University, witn about 75 per cent of the male students enrolled, is to be the nucleus for other Beveridge clubs at the various colleges.

That speech of Senator Clapp's at Lafayette, seemed to please his hearers mightily, especially when he urged the return of Mr. Beveridge to the senate.

There is something significant in the character of the receptions being given those candidates and speakers in Indiana who rejoice in talking of bumper prices and preach the doctrine which means the continuation of these prices.

James G. Berkey, of Salem, Republican candidate for Washington and Orange, the judicial district in which French Lick is located, is said to look the winner.

Worse Follows Worse.

The heaviest blow the Democratic party of Indiana has received was the resignation of Prof. Aley who was on the ticket for superintendent of public instruction. On the heels of it a Taggart follower being appointed disgusted the rank and file all over the state.—Plymouth Chronicle.

Faith of the Right Kind.

Echoes of the bump given the New York machine are still vibrating throughout the land. Thus the people have again demonstrated their faith in the progressive idea.—Goshen. News-Times.
