-f No Republicans are going to vote the Democratic ticket to keep Albert J- Beveridge from being elect,e$ if "United States senator.

The bets are two to one that Hugh T. Miller will receive more votes 1,han Albert J. Beveridge for United "y States senator.

The Republican party is gaining strength from all other parties this year. The trend is decidedly toward it. It is active, aggressive and confident.

Ora Myers will make as good a joint senator as he did a mayor. He -is decidedly the best qualified for the place of anyone of the three candidates.

Hugh T. Miller, the Republican candidate for United States senator, is a business man. He is a broad--minded scholar and statesman. If elected he, will serve the people with the highest efficiency. ,"

Democratic friends, try electing a Republican county ticket once ih

Hancock county. You have said that it was a good thing to change the politics of the national and state administrations, why not apply the #ule to the county?

P. J. Lynch, the Republican candidate for congress in this district, has made a deep impression on the voters wherever he has appeared. When they see and hear him they know that he will make a better representative in congress than Finly Gray. That is why he is going to receive votes of men of all parties and be elected. What has Gray done in congress, any way?

If the Democratic party does not rebuke the wrong of the last legislature over which Homer L. Cook was .speaker by defeating him for secretary of state, it should take the medicine wThich the FairbanksTaggfirt machine has for it next year in the nomination of Don Roberts, of Terre Haute, for governor. Everybody knows that Roberts is the candidate of the machine. He is the man who was indicted for crime in elections. Do Democrats want such a man for governor?

Mr. Beveridge said in his Terre Haute speech that 40,000 Republicans voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 to keep him from being elected governor. He received 166,124 votes for governor. Col. Durbin received 142,850. votes. If the 40,000 Republicans vote their party ticket this year and the party holds its Durbin vote of last year, the Republican vote this year will be 182,850. That would make the Republican strength much greater than the Progressive of last year. There is every evidence on aill sides that many Progressives are returning to .their old party, and there is no evidence of Republicans who voted their party ticket in 1912 going over .to the Progressive parly this year. There are, however, hundreds of

Democrats throughout the state who are dissatisfied with the national au.d State administrations who are declaring Openly that they will vote the straight Republican ticket. So Mr. Beveridge's claims that he will be elected are not justified. We predict that he will not get 75,000 in the slate and Hugh T. Miller will get 200,000.

The Indianapolis Star says that th people of Indiana are on trial in this election. No party prates more about the people and their sacred right than the Progressive, and still it would seem from the Star editorials that it is in doubt as to whether the people on which it pretends to rely so confidently are able to discharge their duties as they should. After election the people will have disclosed great wisdom if they indorse by their votes the Progressive party, but if they do not, the Star will declare that they have fallen short of their rare opportunity. The trouble with the Star, Albert J. Beveridge and the Progressive party is that they proceed on the theory that they alone are siacere, honest and wise. Even if that were true, the people have not fully realized it,v and it will take some time to acquaint $nd convince them

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29,

The following extract from Jas. B. Morrow's interview with John W. Rem, Indianapolis Sunday Star, Dec. 26th, 1909, is of great present interest. Mr. Morrow wrote as follows: "I have been informed,'' I saia, "that the brewers prevented your election to the United States senate?" "That is true. The Democratic newspapers and voters of

Indiana favored my candidacy—the flies of the newspapers are open to anyone, and the voters '. can be seen and questioned. Forty-four Democratic members of the legislature openly gave me pledges of their support—their constituents required it Forty-two votes were all I needed. When I seemed sure of the nomination the brewers suddenly manifested a lively interest in the situation. It was supposed that the Democrats, meeting in caucus, cast a secret ballot. I understood v/hat that meant— pledged members of the legislature could vote for the brewers' candidate, whoever he happened to be and no one would know it. Eight men were purchased and the secret ballot went through. received thirty-six votes and Benjamin F. Shively, attorney for the brewers, was nominated. And yet there are forty-four men who will make affidavit today that they gave me their support. I cannot prove bribery on anyone, but I think I know the names of the eight men who were bought up." Are you going to vote for this kind of a man fcr senator? No hint of scandal is atttached to the candidacy of Hugh Miller, nominee for the United States senate by the Republican party—"The Party of Prosperity."

of that fact. The voters of the country are not able at this time to see that the Star, Albert Jeremiah and the Progressive party are materially better than the ordinary run of such papers, men and parties. In fact, in many ways they act like the ordinary.

This is the time for Democrats to vote the Republican ticket. There is no president to elect, no principles involved. The party is in the hands of the Fairbanks-Taggart machine, which does not care how much expenses are incurred so long as it, can control the state politics. This is the year for the Democratic party to defeat its ring of bosses, who have put laws never passed by the legislature into the statute books, nominated a former criminal in Marion county for the sacred office of juvenile judge, multiplied the offices, increased salaries and burdened the people with taxe.

Much as winter weather is dreaded in a general way, there were many people glad to see the snow and cold weather Monday evening. The prevailing balmy weather for the past six weeks affected the merchants who had winter goods for sale. In these lines there was nothing doing. The farmers who have fall work in pretty good shape were anxious to have a little cold weather before they began to gather their corn. It is said the canning factories which had contracted for the tomato crop are covered up with tomatoes, and the men in charge of them have been wanting cold weather which would freeze the tomatoes in the fields anl stop the shipment. But winter, no matter how tardy, always catches some people unprepared. Monday's cold spell was no exception to the rule. I It found people without fuel and means of keeping warm.

A Good Tomato Crop.

Frost Spurry, a successful young farmer of near Eden, put out 3% acres of tomatoes on the sixth day of June. He began picking about the last of August, .selling to Van Carfip Packing Company, and by October 21, when the Maxwell station closfed, he had sold 85,790 pounds, or an average of $110.30 per acre, also leaving about thirty-five tons of green tomatoes in the field. Mr. Spurry says it pays to raise tomatoes when you can realize $100 or more to the acre, even if you don't get to sell your entire crop. This year was an exceptionally good one, as the frost didn't .stop the growth.

SELF-MADE YIAN. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN. KNOWS THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE. WORK, NOT ORATORY.

P. J. Lynch, the business man candidate for congress in the Sixth district, is just the kind of man who should represent the people in the lower house of the national legislature. He has made his way in life by genuine pluck and perseverance. He is of the people and knows their conditions and needs. While a good speaker, he is also a good business actor. That is, he does things. The people need more business and less oratory and parliamentary hair-splitting rules. A congress made up of men like Pat Lynch would accomplish results. He is a practical man who would have some purpose in being in congress in addition to drawing his salary. The prospects for his election seem to be good.
