Don't make a business mistake with your vote net Tuesday.

It is hard for us to understand why officers will favor a policy that always brings financial trouble

The expression, "these hard times" is not heard at thi^ time, but just wait a year or two—it will come into appropriate use.

There are other places than the church where backsliders* an(^ wanderers are welcomed back'into the iold. It is said the "vilest, .sinner may return."

The farmer has never Had such prosperous times. He not only, has ^gotten good prices, but his land has doubled in value. Does he want a change?

If the voters of the country vote down the present prosperous conditions, they should never be heard to complain of the conditions they aid in producing.

-J.«' The Anti-Saloon League knows -a which one of the three candidates MOT Governor in Indiana is the most friendly to temperance legislation,. X&J 'and so puts its O. K. on Col. Durbin.

These times are good enough for &L'ns" Prosperity is pretty generally passed around. The man who has nothing but his labor to sell finds

Xy, a ready market these days at a 1 good prfce.

•..v

Col. Winfield T. Durbin has con-

fidence in the Civil War veterans 'voting right. He was a soldier in two wars. He says this is the year when soldiers should be true to» the

Republican party.

The prospects are very favorable for the election of Woodrcw Wilson, notwithstanding he clings to the idea of tariff-for-revenue only. An idea that always disturbs business whenever there is any prospect of its being enacted into law. Mr. Wilson's election will be the beginning of his trouble.

EITHER TAFT OR WILSON

will be elected president of the United States next Tuesday. Roosevelt cannot possibly win.

And If you vote'f or Roosevelt you help to make Wood row Wilson, college professor, free trader and theorist In governmental affairs, the next president.

Wisdom and patriotism demand that you vote the Republican ticket.

Voter, do not make the serious mistake of thinking that the contest for the Presidency is between Wilson and Roosevelt, and for Governor between Ralston and Beveridge. Such is not the case. The contests are between Taft an,d Wilson and Durbin and Ralston.

The Republicans will keep open house after November 5th for the next four years. Every wanderer who wants to return and declare true and faithful allegiance to the old party of prosperity and advancement will be welcomed back into the fold with open arms.

The man who has left the Republican party because he did not like some candidates, or because some officer did not do just what he wanted, should reconsider the matter before it is too late, and return to the party of his father, which has accomplished more than any other party in the history of this great country. On election morning let him go into the booth and vote under the good old "American Eagle."

TAFT WOULD BE ELECTED

beyond any question if Theodore Roosevelt had not divided the Republican party when he failed to receive the presidential nomination.

The party was good enough for Roosevelt until Taft was nominated. Now he is trying to wreck it. His present position is a combination of selfish ambition and personal spite.

Why should you desert the party which has done so much for the country and thus given you a share in prosperity and progress?

The constitution and the Union still look good to us. We will have to forget the glorious history of this country before we can cease to revere the constitution of the United States. Socialism may look good to some, but it is not in the same class with the old tried and true constitution. The ten commandments are still applicable in the moral world, and so is the constitution in the great American Government.

Our faith in the principles of the Republican party is not shaken, though on the very eve of a na-( tional election it looks like we wer^) facing defeat. There is no reason why Republicans should be dismayed even in the face of defeat. The people, after four years of experience, will be glad to return to the protective principles of the Republican party for relief. It can open the channels of industry and business and establish prosperity on the wrecks of panic.

A vote for the Republican ticket means no change In prosperous conditions. It means goiod wages and steady employment for the worklngman and good prices for the crops. j.

The people do not appear to be taking as much interest in politics this year as formerly. They are so busy they do not have time to talk politics. They do not have time to think about party principles. The present campaign W in grtat con

hen the officers of this bank see a depositor making steady gains in his balances, our confidence in him grows. When a depositor has won our confidence requires money with which to develope his business, our large resources enable us to give him all the credit his financial condition warrants.

The merchant, the manufacturer, the builder or the farmer who doee business at this bank receives its financial support when he needs it.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 31,*1912'

trast with the campaign of 1896. That year every man was a campaigner and he had time to talk politics nd make speeches. There were plenty of idle and unemployed men to listen to him. The subject then was-''bread and butter." When men have not enough to eat, they take an intense interest in all political subjects which refer to industrial and business conditions.

History may repeat itself.

yfveep in mind that the debt you have assumed in prosperous times has to be paid in full. Hard times may cut your prices, profits and wages, but they do not cut down the size of that debt. When times are prosperous and people get good prices for their products, they are really surprised at how fast they can cut down their indebtedness, but when products are being sold for half the prosperity prices, it is difficult to pay more than the interest, which will advance about 33 1-3 per dent, on short notice. There is plenty of money now at six per cent., but when panic comes it will jump to eight per cent—an increase of one-third.

Every dollar of indebtedness any man owes will remain exactly the same after November 5th. If his wages, the price of his products or other sources of income are suddenly or even gradually lessened, his ability to meet his indebtedness is by so much diminished. If his income be not interfered with he can pay what he owes. It is the man who is in debt who ought to fear a change, especially a change to a system which has within 20 years shown what it has done and will do again to the business of the entire country. The money loaner can easily take care of himself at such times.

The motorcycle rider was compelled to ditch his machine to avoid a collision. |jf

BE ELECTED

IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO RECEIVE

LARGE ENOUGH PERCENTAGE OF REPUBLICAN VOTE.

FACT IS BEYOND DISPUTE

Question at Issue Is Whether Couhtry Wants Taft and Protection or Wilson and Free Trade, Because Either Taft or Wilson Will Be Elected.

Theodore Roosevelt cannot possibly be elected president of the United States.

This is not a mere statement. It can be demonstrated by figures. It can be shown that he cannot secure the voting support which would be necessary to give him a successful showing in Republican states.

As the popular vote for Bryan in 1S0S was 6,409,104 and for Taft was 7,678,908, it is a mathematical fact— assuming that the relative strength of the two parties in this election will remain the same—that Mr. Roosevelt will have to get the vote of eight out of every ten Republicans in the nation in order to be elected. No one believes that he can do this. It does not avail to say that he will make up the difference in Democratic votes, for this will not be the case. The information received at Democratic headquarters shows that for every Democratic vote going to Roosevelt four or five will go to Taft.

In Illinois it will take seven out of every ten Republicans to vote for Roosevelt in order to give him the state. In Kansas it will take eight out of ten, In Indiana nine out of ten. It is an apparent fact that he cannot Becure this large proportion of Republican votes. The percentage of votes in all the Republican states necessary to elect Roosevelt and which he cannot get is as follows:

1908 Elect Roose-

Bryan. Taft. velt.

But, while it Is mathematically impossible for Roosevelt to be elected, It is possible, unfortunately, for Wilson to win, because of Republican votes cast for Roosevelt. In the country at large, it would require but 16 Republican votes out of every hundred to be cast for Roosevelt to glxe Wilson a popular majority.

It follows, therefore, that the only way to defeat Wilson in the nation is to vote for Taft. The only way to keep Wilson from carrying any state, and thus contributing materially to his election, is to rote for Taft. A vote for Roosevelt helps Wilson it cannot by any possibility elect Roo«e» velt.

The voters of the nation, therefor*, have but one question to answer at the coming election, so far as national polities is concerned, and that is "Taft or Wilson?" Do they want Taft and the Republican party, or Wilson and the Democratic party? Do they want a continuation of the policies under whleh the present condition of universal prosperity haa been attained, which would call for no business readjustment, and therefore would result In no business derangement or do they want new and different policies, the result of which nobody could foresee, which therefore would force upon the country a period of uncertainty and waiting, Inevitably lnvitlng stagnation, distress and disaster? Do they want to exchange an assured good for a nearly certain evil? They have prosperity now do they want to risk losing it?

That is the only question, and the whole question, in this national campaign. Roosevelt Is a demonstrated Impossibility. It is Taft or Wilson. It is the Republican party or the Democratic party. It is a certain good or an almost equally certain evil.

A 8ERIOU8 QUESTION.

The serious question which you will hare to decide in the voting booth on Tuesday, November 5, is whether you wiat a continuance of present1 prosperity or a return to the days of Democratic distress,

OBITUARY

Rachel C. Wright was born in Hamilton county, Indiana, Nov. 14, 1846. She was called to her Heavenly home' October 26, 1912, age 65 years, 11 months and 12 d«5ys.

She was united in marriage to James M. Wright. To this union were born two sons and four daughters. The husband, one son and one daughter have preceded her to the better world.

With her companion and family she resided in Hamilton and Madison counties until 1877, when they went to McCordsville, where she has had her residence ever since.

She was a charter member of the local order of Eastern Star, and has ever been a faithful and highly esteemed sister, none being more devoted to the needs of her fraternal friends than she.

When about 16 years of age she gave her heart to God. and became a member of the Christian church. She never transferred her church relationship, but has been a faithful supporter of the M. E. church of this place since she resided here. Her faith was of a kind that gave all true believers a place in her heart. With true and patient tr:ist in God, she lived her life, and none ever gave to him a more submissive devotion than she.

Quiet and reserved in disposition, she held herself ever ready to be a blessing to all her neighbors and friends. And to her blessed loved ones and the dear children of her own household she expressed her faith by tender evidences of everyday word and deed.

Her one son, three daughters, two grandchildren, one sister and one brother, and a large circle of other loved ones and friends who are left to mourn, can but faithfully submit to the will of the Heavenly Father and thanking Him for their sweet treasure mother calmly say: "Thy Will, Oh, God, be Done."

The funeral was held at the home of the daughter, Mrs. Wm. McCord, Rev. E. J. Wickersham officiating. Services in charge of Eastern Star.

FOR PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY,

Your vote on Tuesday, November 6, for the Republican ticket Is a vote for protection and prosperity. It Is also a vote for the preservation of constitutional government.

A vote for the Democratic ticket is a vote for free trade, with legislation that will place farm products on the free list and V41 adversely affect practically ev*ry Industry in the United States.

A vote for the Third Term ticket Is worse thin a wasted vote. Roosevelt cannot possibly be elected and a vote for him aids in the election of the Democratic candidate"
