THINGS HANLY DID NOT MENTION

In his opening campaign speech Governor Hanly did not mention some things of interest to the public. For Instance, the following: He did not tell that he had borrowed from David E. Sherrick, when he was auditor of state, $760 of the state’s money which he was afterward compelled to pay baAk with interest. He did not refer to the charge that he borrowed from the state oil inspector $2,500 of state funds and that he failed to pay it back when be was asked to do so. He was silent concerning the current report that while he was making his canvas of the state for governoi he met by appointment the notorioui gambler and Republican politician of West Baden and French Lick—the man who was at the head of the "Monte Carlo” business—Ed. Ballard In Jonce Monahan’s bank in Orleans, and received from Ballard a contribution of a large sum of money for his personal campaign expenses. He did not owplain how it has happened that the same Ed. Ballard, gambler and Republican politician and head and front of the “Monte Carlo" business in West Baden and the French Lick valley, has not been arrested by his officers, though Ballard, it is said, makes no attempt at concealment.

He did not tell why he refused to pay Interest on $1,334 which he collected for the city of Lafayette, kept for more than six years and only paid over to the city on demand when hj was entering upon his race for governor. He did not tell how, to gratify a petty spite against a Democratic newspaper, he directed the whitewashing of charges of gross mismanagement and cruelty against the superintendent of the Girls' Industrial School. He did not tell how many extra "legal advisers” he has employed to do work which should have been done toy the salaried force in the attorneygeneral’s office. He was careful not to give the figures showing how much of his $40,000 contingent fund he has paid out during this year for "extra legal advisers," "experts,” "secret agents" and similar things. He said nothing about drawing salary from the state treasury at the rate of s3l a day while working for hire in other employments. He neglected to tell, if he pays only S9OO a year house rent, what becomes of the balance of the SI.BOO a year appropriated for house rent.

He did not tell that the last session of the legislature increased the taxation for general state expenses about $5*00.000 a year by raising the general fund levy three cents on the SIOO. He did not tell that the state up to October 31, 1905 was compelled to draw on the counties for advances to the extent of $994,000 in order to meet its obligations. He did not tell that the state for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1905, received and disbursed $9,260,827 which was $3,000,000 in excess of the receipts and expenditures for the last year the Democrats were in power. He did not tell the people that the state debt was paid with money supplied by Democratic laws passed for that purpose.

Hanly Did Not Mention It.

The chairman of the Republican National committee, George B. Cortelyou, In the 1904 campaign; received from three New York life Insurance companies alone $150,000 of money which had been stolen from widows and orphans for the use of the Republican party. Thousands of dollars of stolen money were received by the Republican committee from other Insurance companies and used in the campaign. Mr. Cortelyou is now post-mester-general of the United States under Mr. Roosevelt’s appointment, but neither he nor the committee has laid back the stolen money. Governor Hanly In his opening speech did not mention this subject just as he did not mention many other embarrassing things.

Speaker Joseph Q. Cannon- attacks laboring men for "going Into politics.” And yet the Republican party of his own state has indorsed him for president. From this it seems clear that the Republican party is'against tbe laboring man who goes into politics In dsfense of his own rights. Bead Tbe Democrat for news.

BEVERIDGE FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

He JHakes a Strong Attack on the Railroads. When ft comes to talking about the railroads, Senator Beveridge, who stands very close to President Roosevelt, has something to say. In a speech, in Chicago on the night of September 22, Mr. Beveridge took up the question of regulation and control of railroad rates by the government. He said that personally he was opposed to government ownership of the railroads, but in his speech he went as far along that line as Mr. Bryan, whose position has been wilfully misrepresented by a large part of the Republican press. In his Chicago speech Senator Beveridge said: “If railway interference with the people’s government is not stopped, railway ownership by the people’s government may be compelled." Mr. Bryan has gone no further than that. He declares that he does not favor government ownership except as a last resort and says that the people will not want It if regulation shall prove to be effective. But, like Mr. Beveridge, he says that if government ownership ever comes it will be forced by the refusal of the railroads to submit to fair regulation.

Senator Beveridge, after making the statement quoted above, speaking of stock juggling, rebates and discriminations, said: “Therefore it becomes necessary that the people whose savings are invested in these railways; the people from whom the railways derive their revenues; the people whom the railways serve and who serve the railways should have a voice in their management. So it is necessary that the railways whose rates are a tax upon all the people, whose operations directly affect all the people, should be controlled and regulated by the government of all the people. A little further along in the same speech, Senator Beveridge said: "Let the railways attend to their own business, just as every one of you is expected to attend to your own business, and no man will speak of government ownership. And their business is not to nominate and elect any public officer; their business is not to purchase, coerce, or Influence his action.

“Their business is to haul passengers and freight and nothing else. And it is that they shall attend to it as trustees of the people that the railroad rate law was passed, the Sherman act was passed, and generally the foundation of that system of government regulation laid of which these laws are illustrations. "It is better for the government of the people to interfere with the railways than for the railways to inters sere with the government of the people. Railway ownership is an evil so far reaching and profound that no man can foretell its dark results. But railway interference with free government is also an evil which in the end will prove destructive of liberty because it pollutes the ballot when the people’s representatives are chosen and the people’s legislature after their representatives are chosen.” Of the railroad in politics Senator Beveridge said that they “meddled too much,” that when they meddled at all they meddled too much and that "they meddled a great deal,” and then he added:

"Every man who, by railroad influence. is nominated to any office, from constable to president, ought to be defeated, no matter to what party he belongs. The people have already begun to defeat such men and will hereafter defeat them increasingly as time goes on until the absolute uselessness of trying to oontrol politics will dawn on railway managers who see that they have squandered the money paid out to accomplish plans that an aroused and instructed people wreck and destroy. • * • “Criminal laws is the way to stop them. Prison bars for corrupting railroad lobbyists; prison bars for railway agents in primaries and conventions; prison bars for railway representatives who try to influence the nomination and election of senator, congressman, judge, or any other public officer —that is the way to stop them." It will be seen from the above that Senator Beveridge, like President Roosevelt, has given public utterance to views which, to say the least, are as extreme as any charged to Mr. Bryan.

Governor Hanly Is a member of the Columbia club, the big Republican organization of Indlanapblis. Mr. Taggart is a member of the company that owns the French Lick Springs hotel. While Hanly Is holding up to his audiences what he calls a "Pluto" poker chip why does he not at the same time hold up for inspection one of the poker chips used in the Columbia dub? He might also exhibit a sample of the whisky which is sold there without license. The French Lick Springs hotel has no bar and sails no whisky.

REPUBLICAN OPTION OF HANLY

The Richmond Item, a Leading Republican Newspaper, Says Hanly Is “a Sham and a Fraud.” [From the Richmond Daily Item of Sept. 26.] *1 Include the women of the state in my appeal because I believe there Is that In the work, in the policies and in the purposes of the (state) administration which greatly makes for their welfare and for their happiness, foir the peace and sanctity of the home, and for the protection and the safety of the fireside, and which tends to give the childhood of the state a "square deal" and a fair show."—Governor J. Frank Hanly In his "keynote" speech at Tip'ton. When the peace and sanctity of the home and the protection and safety •f the fireside was the issue in Richmond a year ago, where did Governor A Frank Hanly stand? He stood for a polluted home, legalized and blackmailed prostitution and political corruption, and stood there knowingly, defiantly, Insolently, because he had an alliance with the Machine of this city. Less than a year ago within the auditorium of the First M. E. church of this city, there assembled a meeting of the citizens of Richmond to listen to the address of the president of the Good Citizens’ League. He reviewed is vivid language the situation as it was in Richmond at the time —the combiner tion of the machine, the liquor interests, the corruption of the then-existing administration, the system of legalized prostitution, protected by the police system then in power and in turn taxed as a means of private revenue in order that they might be protected. Then the speaker related how the most prominent business men had protested to Governor Hanly who was upholding this sort of a system “until after the election,” how the ministers of Richmond had protested against Governor Hanly openly espousing the cause of vice and political corruption, how mothers and wives had protested against his holding up the hands of those officials in Richmond who were leading sons and husbands to disease, death and bell, and then this minister told how a committee representative of the business community, the churches and Earlham College had visited the governor and how he insulted them. And this is how this minister In a public meeting at the First Methodist church on the evening of October 22, last year, summed up the situation; "We were fearful of our cause when we left the governor. Women of this city sent him communications and others went to see him, and ypt Governor Hanly had the presumption to say that he knew more about the situation in Richmond than we did. Honest and upright man he refused to recognize, but he did recognize the very kind of men against whom he preached In our city." And this is how the Rev. 8. R, Lyons backed up Rev. Huber’s remarks: "I am standing by the Rev. Mr. Huber in bis utterances concerning the governor. In my judgment Governor Hanly Ja aelling out Richmond for the sake of the party Machine." And the vast audience applauded these sentiments. * * * *

Shortly after his Induction into office in 1903 the auditor of state becanM a defaulter. The fact was not known until the latter part of August, 1905. The defalcation was heavy. A shortage of $145,000 was admitted. There were those who counseled condonation and secrecy, and the continuance of the defaulter in office, but the governor of Indiana could not consent to that He owed an obligation to you which he could not discharge in that way. Before him stretched the path of duty, rugged and thorny, but straight and true and sure. That path he chose to follow. The resignation of the derelict official was demanded and received, and a citizen of probity and integrity appointed to succeed him.—Governor J. Frank Hanly in his “keynote” speech at Tipton. Yes, but at the same time Hanly discovered Sherrlck a defaulter, he discovered Storms, secretary of state, a defaulter. Yet did he tread the “path of duty, rugged and thorny?" Did he refuse to consent to Storms’s continuation in office, or to listen to counsel of condonation and secrecy in Storms's case? He did not! Instead he tried to cover it up, he protected Storms, h« gave Storms until the next quarterly settlement to make up his shortage. Ho made no grandstand play about treading the thorny path of duty in the Storms ease! And the chances are one hundred to one that Storms would still be in office with a clean reputation had not the facts in the case been discovered by the Sentinel and published. After their publication Hanly had to act. His hand was exposed. His demagogy was laid bare. His hypocrisy was made apparent, so he called for Storms to resign. Storms did not. A long-drawn-out sham battle was fought to force Storms out, but it was ineffectual. Finally Hanly went so far as to say he would call a special session of the legislature and have Storms impeached. Storms called Hanly’s bluff and joined in the hope that sucb a session would convene. So instead of calling the legislature Hanly took a trip to Washington, D. C., to see Charles Warren Fairbanks. When he came back Storms made good the shortage and was allowed to go out West to take a position with a wealthy corporation. He was not prosecuted, as was Sherrlck. He was not molested. Why? Storms knows, Hanly knows, Indiana politicians know, the railroads know, the people at Lafayette, the former home of Storms and Hanly, know. There was good reason why the psuedo-reform governor did not tread the rugged and thorny path, nor turn a deaf ear to those who counseled condonation and secrecy In Storms’s case. Sherrlck was not able to strike back, so he was sent to the penitentiary in order that a governor might rise upon the ruins of Sberrick’s reputation to heights where he now stands proclaiming to the state and world his wonderful and dazzling attributes of piety, and political probity. But Storms was not exposed until a newspaper did it; he waa not ousted from office; he was allowed to take his time about settling, and he was rewarded for his conduct with a more lucrative position which he was permitted to take without any effort on the part of the governor to prosecute.

•e e • He (the governor) must stand consistently and at all times for integrity in public office and for decency in civic affairs. He must lead in tbe moral progress of the people. Not his word alone, but his deed aB well, must uplift and strengthen and lead the way to exalted service and consecrated citizenship.—Governor J. Frank Hanly in his “keynote"’ speech at Tipton. To this sentiment we say "Amen!" And it is not by his words, as spoken by him at the local Chautauqua, but by his deeds in connection with decency and honesty in this community, that the people of this community judge our governor, and know him to be a sham and a fraud, a political hypocrite, a thorough-going Machine politician who apes such real reformers aa Jerome and Folk and Roosevelt, but who never puts his destiny to the touch by inaugurating reforms or following them in communltites where reform will hurt his political associates. It is because in cases of state notoriety that he has not made & consistent stand for integrity in public office and decency la civil affairs that tbe people are coming to know him for what he Is —a consummate demagogue.

A vote cast for a Democratic congressional candidate is a vote against the trusts which are levying a private tax on the people and collecting it with heavy penalties. If a man wants the cost of living to increase and hie Income to go dowm he will naturally vote the Republican ticket Rut there are not many such men left. No man should vote for the Republican state and legislative candidate# unless he Is anxious to pay higher taxes. Economy in government and tax redaction will follow the sueoees of the Democratic party at the election. , '

Paint Adds Value to Properly For every dollar's worth of paint—good point—you put on your house, you add several dollars to its value, for die differeqpe in price which property in good repair will bring over a shabby building is by no means measured by the actual cost oi the improvement. In this calculation we have not included the insurance feature —the saving of the property from decay. Good paint looks well, protects well, lasts well. There are many imitations of paint which do none of these things, yet cost as much or more than straight white lead and linseed oil, the best paint Eckstein Pure White Lead Made by the Old Dutch Proems) is the acknowledged standard.

Twenty Minutes Tims Enough ? To Core the Worst Headache From Any Cause—New Reduction Method. Most headaches and pains yield Instantly to the new Reduction Method—Dr. Shoop's Twenty Minute Headaohe Cure. The causa for these pains is congestion— a rushing of blood to the nerve oenters—which distends the veins to nearly the bursting point. Swollen and enlarged, these veins and capillaries exert an irritating pressure on the myriads* of nerve branches and fibres. Then,there’s pain, and finally that excruciating. less ache. This new Reduction Method disperses the blood, distributes t h and directs it to the pro-per channels. It frees the nerve VSI centers from all pressure a n d lrritation-the pains and iTnmm aches disappear because JM a FgWgTJ Qk their causa has been moved. Yon sand remedies—you may wSTm kTSIgW drug and stuplfy the nerves Wii|USF into submission —but the remedywhich brings Srompt relief and permanent curs 111 be successful because it reduces the congestion —it must embody the Reduction Method.” Medicine has thus found a way—simple and sure, yet the only way —to thoroughly overcome these attacks of Headache and Neuralgia. The effect of Dr. Shoop’s Twenty Minute Headache Cure is prompt—perfectly suited to all forms of Headache and abac lutely positive in every temperament. For an and recommended by A. F. LONG.

Robbing Yourself That is just what you are doing when you fail to get regular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious period for repair work; without it your nerve energy becomes exhausted, and you are tired, worn-out, nervous, excitable ; have headache, neuralgia, indigestion, poor appetite, or other ailments caused by a lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you are restless, take Dr. Miles' Nervine; it soothes and strengthens the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives the organs power to work naturally. Try it to-day. * "I had a sever© spell of fever, which left me In a very weak condition and very nervous I had severe spells of headache and neuralgia, and could sleep but very little. Every effort that was made to recover my strength was of no avail until I began taking Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. After I commenced to take the Nervine my sleep was profound and restful, and the pains in my head, as well as the neuralgia pains, left me to a certain extent and I grew gradually better.” MRS. E. E.
