Look here, Mr. Republican; If you are an admirer of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Lafollette, Mr. Felk and others who have sought to correct the evils of the body politic—which have become so festooned about our own county government —why not follow the advice of these gentlemen, who say that politics should cut no figure in local affairs? Election is here, and the people are about to perform that duty which alone can preserve the liberties of this country. If this sacred duty be neglected, then it will be but a short time before those blessings of a free government for which our forefathers gave their lives and fortunes, will be sadly absent. A representative government is "just as good as the people will it” and no better. If we want good laws and just legislation, then send only those men to congress and legislature, that are "above suspicion” and free from graft and "trust influence.”

WHAT CANNON IS.

Joseph GkjCannon, of Danville, 111., is the republican speaker of the national house of representatives. He also is a pestiferous old demagogue and vulgarian. He is the boss ‘ standpatter.” He has been in congress for thirty years, elected from a boss-ridden and machine-ridden district. By some means he has become immensely wealthy. While in congress he has been identified with every scheme of public pillage that has been devised to fleece the people. He has been the wet nurse of more legalized grafts than, perhaps, any other man in the country. At the late session of congress he did all that he could to defeat railroad rate legislation, the pure food bill, the meat inspection bill, and every other measure of interest to the people. He acted then, as he always has acted, as the friend and champion of the special interests which have used the congress of the United States for their own private and mercenary purposes. Cannon has been in Indiana to speak for the re-election of Jim Watson and other republican congressmen who are his tools in Washington. He is fearful that a democratic congress will be elected. Speaking at Greensburg, he said : “If the democrats carry the bouse this year the huzza will go forth throughout the length and breadth of the land that the people are tired of the republican party, and that all the democrats need to do is to hold fast and they will capture the presidency and the whole shooting match.” The huzza that will go forth is that the people are tired ol the Cannons, the Watsons, the Cromers, the Bricks, the Overstreets, the Landises, the Hemenways.and all the rest of the trust crowd who, once they get to Washington, sneer at the plain people who elected them. And the people are tired of these men. They also are tired of the party which allows itself to be dominated and disgraced by them. Let the democrats hold fast and let all decent men hold fast with them, and we will have better conditions in this country.

A republican county council, as at present made up, will never appropriate one penny for opening up the county treasurer’s office — vote for the democratic candidates for councilmen so the hands of a democratic board of commissioners will not be tied. Many American-made sewing m» chines are sold abroad for about onehalf the price that is charged for them in this country. This is one of the things for which the Republican party in this campaign stands pat. A change in the tariff might disturb this business. Governor Hanly is still talking about a “six mills’* reduction In the tax levy of the state. This Is absolutely without warrant. The levy for the general expenses of the state was Increased by the last legislature three cents on the 9100, which is 30 mills. This Increase mer.ns an additional tax of a half million dollars a year for the ordinary expenses of the state government. It should be remembered tn connection with the tax levy, that the assessed value of the taxable property of the state has enormously increased and that the levy should havo been cut down. The fact that the general expense levy has not been cut down but has been raised three cents on the SIOO is in itself proof of the reckless extravagance of the Republican state eMclals.

Investigation Necessary.

For the next two years, at least, actual legislation on Democratic lines Is out of the question, because the Republican senate will veto It. Yet as It Is Important to elect a Democratic house of representatives In order to prevent further Republican legislation by congress and thus to check legislative abuses. It is all the more Important, as It will lead to the election of a Democratic president and so check executive usurpation, which may be made to cover the whole field of legislation as well as that of diplomacy, as the history of the Roosevelt administration plainly foreshadows. A Democratic bouse of representatives is also necessary to Investigate all the departments of the government, for the exposure of scandals already accomplished has shown that there is much yet behind the curtain that has been suppressed as a party necessity.

SOMETHING ABOUT HEMENWAY.

▲ man who Is fit to be a member of the United States senate should be both intelligent and truthful. But there are men in that body who are both Ignorant and mendacious. James A. Hemenway, of this state, is one es these. His public speeches would not be considered as entitled to the least attention if it were not for the fact that by some strange fatality he has crawled up into a seat in the senate of the United States. Mr. Hemenway, in 'the campaign speech that he is delivering, tries to take credit for his party for the passage of the railroad rate bill. Along with the other corporation, senators Hemenway would have voted against any rate bill if he had dared to do so. As it was he voted against every amendment calculated to make the measure better and for amendments that made it weaker. Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, himself a Republican, read Hemenway’s record in Hemenway’s presence from a public platform in this s<.ate and offered proof of the above facts. And then Mr. Hemenway alludes—he does not dwell on it —to the pure food bill as another Republican performance. When that bill was under consideration in the senate, Hemenway was the special representative of a large group of lobbyists who were trying to cripple it in some of its essential features or defeat it if possible. He was openly charged by leading journals with urging amendments that would have made deception easy, and the Congressional Record of February 20 shows how hard he struggled to befriend the lobby. When he comes to the tariff Mr. Hemenway is even less regardful of the truth of history. Facts with him count for nothing. The point that he tries to make is that a high protective tariff—in other words, high taxes—are responsible for all the prosperity the country has ever known. His exact language is as follows: "This was clearly demonstrated tn 1892, when, for the first time sines 1860, the Democratic party secured complete control of the government and enacted a tariff for revenue only, or a free trade bill, which resulted in closing the factories and turning an army of laborers into an army of tramps, and in bringing upon the country ote of the most disastrous panics we ever have known.” If Mr. Hemenway knows enough and is honest enough to be a United States senator, he knows and will admit that the McKinley high protective tariff law was in force from the first of October, 1890, to the first of September, 1894. What he speaks of as the "free trade bin* was the Wilson bill, a moderate tariff measure. It took effect when the McKinley bill stopped, that is, on August 27, 1894. The panic started in November, 1890, within thirty days after the McKinley law went into force. It grew worse right along during 1891 and 1892. Banks failed, mills shut down, strikes and lockouts occurred, thousands npon thousands were thrown out of work and the slaughter of strikers at Homestead took place. During all this time a Republican president was in the White House, and the McKinley high protective tariff law was In force. Everything that Hemenway speaks about In the paragraph quoted from his speech took place while the same law was in force. Hemenway knows all this to be true, but he has not the courage to admit it The trusts? Well, they work in Indiana all the time just as the bartenders do in the big Republican Columbia club at Indianapolis, which regards a liquor license as something only for the common saloons to bother with. And neither the trusts nor the Columbia club flquor dispensers happen to attract the attention of the governor and attorney-general. But fust let them catch some fellow putting a penny in a slot machine!

A large portion of the speeches of both Governor Hanly and Attorney* General Miller Is given over to telling about the crookedness of several Republican state officials. When they finish telling how the Republican party has thus betrayed the people they then ask everybody to vote to keep this same party In power. This lb courage of the kind called “gall.” It Is also an insult to the intelligence of the voters of Indiana. The Republican state officers, from the governor down, are not parsimonious when it comes to handing the public funds out to party favorites. And it makes no difference that the state is "embarrassed** —Governor Hanly used the word himself—and needs a million dollars or so to be even with the desperate game the Republican politicians have played with it

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAN. LY AND MATTHEWS.

When Claude Matthews, a Democrat, was governor of Indiana, he not only wiped out the .thieving race-track which Chicago gamblers started at Roby, but he smashed the “Columbian Athletic club" which undertook to have prize fights in Indiana. But Governor Matthews did not go over the state and throughout the country bragging about what he had done. He was not like the present governor. Mr. Hanly is understood to be a member of the Columbia club, an aristocratic Republican organization at Indianapolis. This club does not promote prize fights, like the Columbian Athletic club did, but it is charged that It sells liquor without license and has a beautiful assortment of poker chips in stock. Governor Hanly does not go after it nor has he attempted to suppress the prize fights which have been numerous in Indiana since he has been governor.

THE STATE TAX INCREASE.

Has it occurred to you that no Republican speaker and no Republican newspaper has said a word * bout the last legislature increasing the state tax levy for current expenses three cents on the $100? That is precisely what was done and it means an additional tax of a half million dollars a year for the state’s expenses. Every tax payer knows that with the enormous increase in the taxable property of the Itate there should be a big reduction and not an increase in the levy. But then it is only the people who pay the taxes and the Republican politicians who have been running the state’s business for twelve years think the people’s money is only to spend. When you go to vote remember that the Democratic party is pledged to an economical administration and a reduction of taxes. On the other hand the Republicans guarantee to spend all the people will stand—and then some.

LOOTERS OF THE PUBLIC.

The attorney-general of Indiana again declares that there is no effective law in this state against the trusts, and he is saying on the stump that that is the reason why he has taken no steps against the Standard OH company, the bridge trust and other despoilers of the people and the tax payers. And why is there no law in Indiana against the trusts? What has the Republican party been doing in Indiana for the past twelve years, during all of which time it has been in absolute control of the state government and the legislature? Why has this party left the people at the mercy of men who combined to swindle individuals and to loot the treasuries of whole communities? The answer is easy. The men who have been and are now managing the Republican party in this state would not allow an anti-trust law to be passed.

Republicans Never Did a Thing.

Ohio has downed the infamous bridge band of boodlers and looters and perjurers. And it was in Indiana that the doings and methods of this robber gang were first exposed and fully described. But Indiana never did a thing!—lndianapolis News. Certainly Indiana never did a thing, and what Is more, never will do a thing until the Republican machine now running the state and controlling legislation is driven out of power. Governor Hanly is hand in glove with this machine. His almost ful appeal for votes for the Republican state and legislative tickets is merely a request that the machine be continued in power by the people who have been deceived and robbed.

tn many parts of the state the Republicans refuse to join the Democrats In clean election agreements. The Democrats, therefore, will find It a good rule to keep a sharp eye on their opponents. And the fact that an agreement has been signed by the Republican managers Is not absolute evidence of good faith, as much depends on circumstances. The Republican party heretofore has had plenty of money to use and has used it shamelessly. No one believes that it has changed Its spots all at once, or even wants to do so. It will be good only when It Is made to be good. Perhaps Attorney - General Miller didn’t know that his kind tad considerate friend, Governor Hanly. was hiring extra lawyers to assist him la running his office and paying them big fees out of the contingent fund. Put it Is true, just the same, sad the people have to foot the bill at a time when the tax levy for general expenses has been boosted up a hail million dollars a year.

TO THE TARIFF REFORMER.

Congressman Watson in an interview in the Indianapolis Star, the state Republican organ, says that he thinks "the tariff is not a real issue in this campaign.” Following this he says that "tariff revisionists are awakening to the fact that the greatest hope for revision is in the election of a Republican house of representatives.” And then this statesman adds that “the Republican party can not same an exact date when it will be In favor of revising the tariff." With these views of the astute Watson before them tariff revisionists wiU hardly look to the Republican party for relief from the robberies of the Dingley law. Not only does that party not know when it will revise the tariff, but it does not know when it will "favor” revision. It will not know its mind until it receives instructions from the trusts, which control its legislation. When the trusts speak they will order an Increase tn the tariff taxes, not k reduction, as they did when the Dingley law was passed. If the tariff reformers want to accomplish any thing they will vote with the Democrats. Its Object Is “Graft.” Felix T. McWhirter, who was the Prohibition candidate for governor two years ago, said in a speech at Indianapolis the other night: “Do not take the word of a man who says he Is the whole thing.” He was speaking of Governor Hanly. And then he said something about Mr. Hanly*s party and its position in this campaign. We quote the following from the Republican state organ: "No party is great unless it has a great job to do," he contended. "What has the Republican party of this day for its object? To get into office ” "To get a salary; to have nothing to do; to graft,” came the end of the sentence, which was completed by persons in the audience. "You’re right.” answered Mr. McWhirter. "If there is as much dirt tn the state house as we have seen sent out —it’s not all done, at least we think not —we will be inclined to disbelieve the statement of the Republican party that if it were in power politics would be comparatively clean." From all this it is clear that Mr. McWhirter has a deep and justifiable suspicion about Hanly’s "house clean* ing” professions. The unpreoedental selling of cloaks surpassing all past efforts is proof we are headquarters. Chicago Bargain Store.

THINK OF THIS ONE MINUTE.

How does it happen that the Studebaker factory in South Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make.a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do you think it just happened or was there a reason for it? You know there must have been a reason and this is it. The absolute reliability of the Studebaker product. It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the best. If you belong to that class, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studebaker before buying.
