4 REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Pursuant to the order of the Republican Central Committee, the Republicans of# Hancock County will meet in Mass Convention at the Court Room, Greenfield, Ind.,

Saturday, September 14, 1912, at 1:30 p. m., for the purpose of nominating Candidates for the following offices:

Judge. JJri)secuting Attorney. Sheriff. Treasurer.

Don't Forget to Register. Every citizen who wants to vote should register. Next Friday/ will afford another opportunity for the registration. People should not- be careless about it. No trifling inconvenience should prevent a person entitled to vote from doing so.

We are not in favor of the recall of judges, but we would faVor an amendment to the Federal Constitution limiting the service of all judges of the United States Supreme Court to one term of ten years. We do not believe in a life tenure in any public office.

With cattle selling at 10 cents per pound,t hogs at 8% cents, wheat at 95 cents, corn 74 cents, butter 20 to 25 cents, surely the farmer will be slow to vote for a change of policy when that change means a reduction in prices.

The temperance people are drawing the line on Thomas R. Marshall because of his record on temperance, but how about Albert J. Beveridge? Senator Beveridge dictated the Republican State plat--form in 1908 when it omitted the ^county .local option plank. ^V

Promises Are Kept

The Capital State Bank does not offer inducements for new business which it later declines to keep. It is attracting new customers by its consistent attention to all details of every account, and keeping old customers by fulfilling every expectation based on business principles.

Officers welcome interviews on all money questions, whether they involve small or large amounts.

then the people of the country will have a tariff-for-revenue-only law, which will reduce prices. Everything will be cheap under those conditions, except money.

One would naturally expect the new party leaders, as they have practically all been Republicans heretofore, to assail the Democratic party instead of the party with which they have been affiliated and the principles of which they have so often indorsed and sustained.

If the principles of the Republican party were ever worthy of support, they are still worthy. There is as much evidence that Republican principles are essential to the prosperity of this country as there was four or eight years ago. The men who have stood for the principles of the party for the past eight years cannot consistently abandon it now. The plea of wrong at the national convention will not justify leaving the party now, when they stood by it four years ago. A road roller was never heard of until four year ago. It was intro-

duced by Theodore Roosevelt. It was operated by him and his convention bosses, and it was operated by him as President of the United States in favor of a candidate taken from his cabinet and literally forced upon the people of the country. The only difference between the roller work of 1908 and that of 1912 was that in the former convention the roller'ran over loyal Republican party men who regarded their party greater than a few candidates and delegates who, in the game of politics were run over. They were ruthlessly run over in 1908 by the very man who this year felt the weight of his own national committee machine. There were things done in both conventions which were wrong— apd we will not attempt to defend them, but the man who used them as Theodore Roosevelt did in 1908 is not in a position to complain now^-his hands are not clean. He is guilty of the wrong of which he complains. He is not willing to take what he' gave. The self-declared apostle of the "Square Deal" is a flagrant breaker of the Golden Rule.

He even is lacking in that quality which is often praised among the men of loose morals, of abiding by results when beaiten at their. Own

game. In defeat he would wreck, if possible the organization which has given him his prominence and several of the highest offices in the gift of the people. He could not have gotten those positions through any other organization. We do not believe that a man prompted by such motives will succeed, no matter how popular he may have been.^ We believe the great Republican party will endure even after Theodore Rooseelt and Albert J. Beveridge are no more.

The results in Michigan and Vermont have not justified the claims of the Progressives. If men are to command the confidence of the people in their prediction on political results, they must cling close to the real conditions and indications. Some of the leaders hope to influence results-in election by confidence expressed before elections. When these are found always to be incorrect, the leader who makes them will lose the confidence of the people. The best plan is to stay close to the truth.

Our ideas of campaign may be wrong, but they have our own approval. The Republicans are. in our judgment, defeated now in the national campaign, but their confidence in the principles of the party is such that they are not dismayed. They are just as courageous for their party principles in defeat as in victory. Nothing will embarrass the Democratic party so much as victory at the polls and responsibility of administration.

All the good in American citizenship is not in the Republican party, neither is all the bad. The new party has no monopoly of the honesty and brains of the country. It will have its troubles just as other parties have. No other party that has discharged the responsibilities of administration and accomplished so much in constructive legislation as the Republican party has done has ever been so harmonious on the principles for which it stood and so united in its actions. The division today is more due to the conflict of personal ambitions than to differences on the principles of the party.

Thursday Morning Session. Institute convened at 9:30 by singing "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me." Prof. Roscoe Thomas had charge of the devotional, reading the last seven verses of the fifth chapter of Mark.

Dr& Elson's talk for the morning was "The British and American Governments Compared." This talk was one of intense interest to all students of civics and government. The speaker has traveled in England, and has made a thorough study of English Government, and said that while many of the forms of English Government are better than ours, taken as a whole, the Republican form of our government is the better.

Dr. Chubb's talk Was on "Shakespeare, the Prince of Poets." The doctor recited parts of many of the poems of Shakespeare in which were shown that Shakespeare was a thorough student of humanity, also a firm believer in God. Many of Shakespeare's works.have a deep morality in them.
