GOVERNOR HANLY'S EXTRAVAGANCE.

Governor Hanly Is making an effort to defend the extravagance of his administration of his office by asserth>« that he gets more back than he pays out. This assertion has no substantial basis. It is mostly Imaginary and speculative. When it is not that, it is untrue. The Sherrick indebtedness was of record. It had to be paid, either by the corporation which bonded him or by himself or friends, and there was no chance for the state to lose. Storms’ indebtedness was also a matter of record and easy of calculation, and his bond secured it to the state even if he or the Influences behind him had not. made the amount good. The claims made against exstate officers are based upon disputed questions now before the courts. There is an army of bookkeepers and clerks in the state house drawing regular salaries from the treasury, who were capable of Investigating all of the things to which the governor refers if they are capable of earning what the people pay them for their services. But Governor Hanly had some friends who "needed the money" and he gave them the job at $25.00 a day each, and In less than a year paid out over SIO,OOO on this account alone, He posed these men as "experts” though they had no such reputation. It has never been shown that their services had any special value whatever. Besides, Governor Hanly has paid out unknown amounts for special "legal advisers,” “secret agents" and such like. It has been shown time and again that the attorney-general’s office is equipped with a salaried force large enough to handle the state’s business. The employment of other "advisers” by the governor is without justification. It is, Indeed, reprehensible extravagance when it Is remembered that the finances of the state are In a deplorable condition because of the gross wastefulness of the Republican state officials, and that the state is compelled to draw Immense advance sums from the counties in order to pay ita obligations without issuing bonds, and was driven to the necessity of adding a half million dollars to the tax levy for general expenses. When Governor Hanly took his office the state government not only had a deficit of a half million dollars, but within a few months had to draw nearly a million dollars in advances from the counties. And yet in the face of this condition, which the governor spoke of as "embarrassing,’’ he had the legislature appropriate for the use of his office $57,400 a year where Governor Matthews, the last preceding Democratic governor, had found $12,000 sufficient.

The High Tariff Panic.

The McKinley high protective tariff law went Into force Oct. 6,1890, and continued in force until Aug. 27, 1894. What the Republicans speak of as the “panic of 1893” began in November, 1890. Harrison was president, and the Republicans were in control of the government. It was in 1892 that the groat Homestead lockout and slaughter occurred. Tens of thousands of men were out of employment everywhere. Banks suspended, business Ileuses failed, manufactories shut down and hard times settled upon the country. And it was all under the Republican McKinley law—the highest protective tariff law the country ever saw except the present Dingley law. Neither the Democratic party nor any Democratic law had the BllghteFt thing to do with bringing about the panic. It was a Republican calamity from start to finish.

How Prosperous are You?

The people are being told by the Republican campaign speakers that they were never so prosperous in all their bom days and that it is all due to the sacred Dingley tariff which adds so much to the cost of living . The question is, are you prosperous? It bo, how much? And why? And how long can you stand the same •ort of prosperity? Think about it •nd look around you. And then think of the prosperous trusts. Figure it out, if you can. whether you have been getting your fair share. Take Into account your family expenses—food, clothing, fuel, house rent, school books for the children and all the necessary odds and ends. Are you getting your fair share of this wonderful “prosperity?" If not, who Is get- , H 1"

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.

It waa declared even by the papers friendly to him that Governor Hanly** opening meeting of the campaign wav "cold” and “unresponsive” and now comes the Indianapolis News’ special report of Senator Hemenway’s Shelbyville effort. The News said: All through the meeting Senator Hemenway was acting as a sort of a “booster" for "Uncle Joe” Cannon. It was “Uncle Joe” said this, “Uncle Joe” did that and “Uncle Joe’s” name did not cause the hats to go in the air, even when Mr. Hemenway said that the Republican congress had carried out the “policies of Roosevelt and Cannon." There was only a feeble response when Hanly’s name was mentioned, and Roosevelt’s name, worked up to a climax, fell fiat. Referring to Mark Hanna, Mr. Hemenway exclaimed, “God bless his memory, that grand old Republican!" and the audience gave a few exclamations of approval, but even that did not make much more than a ripple. The senator’s eulogy of Congressman Watson was given just scant recognition, and most of that came fiom the postmasters and office-holders appointed by Mr. Watson. The above appeared in the noon edition of the News, but it was cut out of the account of the meeting as it was printed in later editions. It was written by a staff correspondent long connected with the paper, but he evidently stepped on too many corns at one stride. Authentic reports of all of the Republican meetings thus far held indicate that they are not only slimly attended, but that there is a painful lack of interest and enthusiasm.

Republican Farmer Becomes a Democrat.

A Spencer county farmer who has heretofore been a Republican writes to the Rockport Democrat that he will hereafter support the Democratic party because he believes it to be “the only party that represents the best interests of the common people.” In bis communication he says: “This sort of Republican protection we hear so much of —Republican boasts of protecting American labor—has built up the all-powerful trusts in this country, and instead of protecting American labor has made the trusts so strong that the laboring men have had to band themselves together in unions against the tariff-made trusts. That’s the only protection the laboring man has in this country, what he makes for himself by organizing.” Not only the farmers and laboring men, but the masses of the people generally, are realizing now as never before that “this sort of Republican protection we hear so much of” means the protection of the trusts and special Interests which Republican tariff laws have created and fattened at the expense of the rest of the people. The tariff does not add a cent to the price of anything the farmer sells, but it adds to the cost of everything he is compelled to buy. The machinery that he uses on his farm is sold to him by the trusts at a much higher price than the same articles are sold for to farmers in foreign countries and the same thing is true as to other things. And yet the standpatters think they can fool the farmers all the time.

HANLY AGAINST THE SOLDIER.

At the last session of the legislature

a bill known as Senate Bill No. 48 was passed by both houses, practically without opposition. It provided that any honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine of the United States, who was a resident of Indiana, and who made application for appointment and who served in the civil war, the war with Spain or the war in the Philippines and who "is honest and competent, shall be given the preference for appointment to be made by whatever administrative authority conferred by the state of Indiana, to any position paying not more than ninety dollars per month in any penal institution, benevolent institution, public building or other institution or employment maintained or conducted by the state of But this bill in the Interest of soldiers, sailors and marines did not become a law because Governor Hanly vetoed it and killed It Governor Hanly asks the people to vote for his “cause”—whatever that may be—but he makes no promise to check official extravagance or to reduce the heavy taxes imposed upon the people by the Republican administration. It should not be forgotten that Hanly is annually spending more of the public revenues, without adequate returns, than any governor the Itate ever had —many thousands of tollers more.

LANDIS DENOUNCED

Former Republican* Editor Will Support Democracy. It Is said that the Republican state committees is now engaged in sending out “cartloads" of the speech delivered in congress by Charles B. Landis in defense of the trusts’ private tax law, known commonly as the Dingley tariff law. Soon after that speech was made, Albert G. Small, formerly editor of the Logansport Journal and a Republican, wrote a letter to the Logansport Pharos in which he forcefully expressed the views of thousands of other Republicans. Mr. Small said: “The time has come, I feel, when thoughtful Republicans—those who have at heart the interests of the people rather than those of the special interests —are called upon to forsake the party that has betrayed them and to resist with their might a policy I which has delivered us bound and well nigh helpless into the hands of the trusts. The tariff is the issue. The theory of protection which has ' so long deluded us is no longer that beneficent thing which we were taught was necessary to the upbuilding of our “infant" industries. Those “infants’” have grown up—giants,they now are and our masters. And worse and woe! If not shorn of their strength they will destroy us. “It is to this cause —the reduction of the trusts —that thoughtful Republicans should address themselves in the coming campaign. The way to do this is to return a Democratic congress. The fatuous “standpatters” that at present dominate and override our government cannot be expected to do anything for our relief from the burden of taxation we are bearing. Their only desire —all forgetful of the duty they owe to the people who sent them to Washington—is to protect themselves and the special and grossly fat interests which they serve and at whose bidding they thus “stand pat.” They seemingly forget that their ultimate fate is in the hands of the people. Now the people must not forget the power they possess. Shall we permit the men whom we have sent east to be our servants to turn masters and dictate to us a policy not only inimical to our own best personal interests, but subversive of the greater interests of the nation? “When Mr. Charles B. Landis made that amazing “stand pat” speech in congress the other day he forgot his elective and representative errand on that floor. He was speaking for the trusts and not for the people who employed him to stand as their representative in that high body. Surely the Ninth district does not stand for the principles he thus unblushingly enunciated. Nor does Indiana at large stand for this shameless policy of protection to interests that are now gloating over and fattening upon the people that created them. “The time has come for ancient political friendships to cease. The Republican party, false to the traditions that made it great, can no longer claim our allegiance. Its present fictitious greatness, based upon apparent majorities secured through circumstances in no wise related to the party at large, merits a sobering ’ shock. The party in this state— | grown overgross—needs the staying I sense and realization of a strong and ' powerful party of opposition. That | opposition should be felt this fall, i For one. with the interests of my beloved state dearly at heart, I shall : consider it my duty to support the | opposition. Nor am I alone among Republicans to thus protest.”

THE HASTY STATESMEN.

It is said that Secretary Root, who has just made a tour through the South American republics, has warned the Roosevelt administration against the hasty annexation of Cuba. For a long time the republics south of us have been suspicious of Mr. Roosevelt’s foreign policies and our trade with them has suffered. As we treat Cuba, so they think we will treat them. Mr. Root seems to have made an impression on the administration for we are told that talk of annexation has been suppressed. The order of suppression did not reach Indiana in time, however, and Senator Hemenway and Congressman Watson and one or two other of the statesmen—the tremendous fellows who are assuming more pressure these days than ever afflicted the "Immortal J. N.” —had already annexed the unfortunate island. It is this class of statesmen to whom the Indianapolis News refers when it says: “Some statesmen, on the other hand, may not regard Mr. Root’s return from his highly enjoyable visit to our South American neighbors just at this time as altogether fortunate.” Since the Republicans have had control of the state the school book trust has managed to get a firm grip on the children of Indiana, and the cost of school books and supplies has become an enormous burden to their parenta. If you have children in the public schools you know this to be true.

THE GOVERNOR'S “CAUSE.”

A leading Republican paper of the state, published in kicluqond, and representative of a considerable part .of the citizenship of that city, recently has said tb-’t Governor Hanly is “a sham and a fraud, a political hypocrite, a thorough-going machine politician” and “a consummate demagogue.” This was said in view of the fact that Mr. Hanly has been appealing to the people to support his “cause”—whatever that may be—by voting for the candidates on the Republican state and legislative tickets. The governor says that he wants his “cause” sustained at whatever cost to his own “political future." He would have everybody understand that this thing which he calls his “cause” includes, among other things, what he speaks of as “law enforcement.” Now what has Mr Hanly done in the way of honest law enforcement? As a matter of cold fact he has done con» ■ paratively little. He has actually not I done as much as some of his predecessors. But he has bragged more than all of them put together. He has kicked up the dust and made a loud,/ noise . He was determined to attract attention to himself. Before the chautauquas and in the churches and at religious conferences he has talked with vast solemnity and tearful egotism about his meager accomplishments as though they were the sum and substance of all things moral and righteous. He did all this believing that he could deceive the good people of the state and intending to deceive them. But what has Governor Hanly done that entitles him to ask the support of the citizens of the state for the candidates on his party ticket. The Richmond paper above mentioned says that in that city 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.” Many similar charges have been made in other localities and they have been made loudly. But Hanly whistled them all down the wind. He rattled his poker chips and shouted “French Lick” but did not breathe the name of the aristocratic “Columbia Club” of Indianapolis nor the protected dens in Lafayette and other cities where his own police boards have full sway. He declaims from the stump that he stopped betting on horse races in the state, but brutal prize fights take place without interference right under his nose after long public advertising. Governor Matthews drove the prize-fighters from the state and suppressed the Roby iniquity and did many other things, but he was just a plain Democrat and not —well, he was not a professed saint like the Hon. J. Frank Hanly. So, after all, what is this “cause” that Governor Hanly is talking about? Secretary Shaw has been in the state making “stand pat” speeches for the Republicans. While he is an lowan he has a different sort of “idea” from, the one tvhich bears the brand of Governor* Cummins of the same state. Cummins is for tariff revision. The convention which renominated him for governor hissed Shaw from the hall. Cummins is coming to Indiana to make Republican speeches. He and Shaw should have come together and held a joint debate on the tariff and the other things which have split the Republicans of lowa into two camps. It would have been interesting to Democrats and instructive—and embarrassing—to the Republicans. The fact that both are being used separately shows that the Republican campaign managers are carrying out their game of tariff slim-slam. The Indianapolis Star, the state Republican organ, says that “Indiana’s statesmen seem agreed on one thing—the annexation of Cuba— and that’s some comfort.” Yes, but they disagree with the present view of the Roosevelt administration even on that. As to all other questions, and especially the tariff, these Indiana "statesmen” not only disagree among themselves, but one class of them—the standpatters—disagree radically with a large part of their party. There never was a. time when they were so totally at sea about their issues. And in the meantime Governor Hanly is laying that he is the “issue.” If you want to indorse political hypocrisy, official extravagance and reseality, Increased taxes and shameless slander of the citizenship of Indiana, then you will vote as Governor Hanly asks ‘you to vote. But if you want to vote against such things, you will repudiate the governor's advice and vote the Democratic ticket. k .
