Joe Cannon has been put In charge of the congressional end of the Republican campaign, with ja separate treasurer. There will be no publicity given to the fund that Cannon will use. This fund will come from those who will ask spec-

lal legislation in return for their contributions. The only way to defeat scheme is to vote for the Democratic candidates for congress. ==■'■ * An Ohio Republican said that the reason why the Taft organization would not allow Senator Foraker to make a speech opening the campaign was because Foraker served notice ‘at Cincinnati Just what he would do the first time he got a crowd to listen to him, to-wlt: He would take the hide off Roosevelt and slap Taft to death with It. Those Ohio Republicans are surely a happy family. The ridiculous Van Cleave, who as president of the National Association of Manufacturers, will doubtless try to keep himself before the public, but he is not the live wire he thinker he is. Nearly all of the sensible members of his asspclatlon have come to the conclusion that Van Cleave is both crank and ignoramus. He doesn’t seem to have enough sense to know that the whole country has come to look upon him as a silly and offensive seeker after notoriety. Every dollar contributed by a Democrat to the Anti-Saloon League as It is now manipulated by Its officers Is a dollar given to the Republican campaign fund. Let every Democrat bear this fact in mind—the Anti-Saloon League is *working hand-in-glove with the Republican state machine. Its officers have allowed it to be used by the Republican politicians, who care nothing about the temperance question, but are interested only in the success of the Republican ticket.

THE WISE MEN Congressman James of Kentucky, speaking to a great meeting of Ohio Democrats the other day, said: “The Republican party boasted our currency system the best on earth: so often they have enswooned U 3 with the rapturous phrase that It had no equal. But now, we behold the Aldrich commission crossing the ocean upon palatial steamers, feasting and banqueting over the whole world at the expense of the taxpayers, visiting kings and courts, monarchies and dynasties, searching for an Improved financial system which will be to their liking. “The Republican party told .us they would start mills instead of mints. We have lived to see them stop the mills and start the printing presses under the Aldrich-Vreeland currency bill to issue money to the great captains of industry, the Wall street coterie, upon stocks and bonds —watered stock, the value of which no man knows and no man would be so hazardous as to say what they were worth today or what would be tomorrow. But Wall street demanded this legislation and the Republican party performed.”

A MARE’S NEST.

The Indianapolis Star has found mare’s nest in the Oklahoma guarantee bank deposit law. It says theOklahotna practice has been to invest the guarantee fund in state warrants bearing 3 per cent, but some wise man had discovered that In case of panic and this fund was to be used these warrants could not be instantly -turned into cash. Indeed! But who started the report that this fund was created for panic uses? This fund Is only to be used to pay the deposits of bankers who have gone “democratic” and for no other purpose. Can any one give a valid reason why this fund should not remain in the state treasury in cash just as it comes from the banker? Did any one hear of such an idiotic suggestion as that the $150,000,000 gold reserve in the National Treasury should be invested? Is the 5 per cent redemtion fund that national banks are required to deposit with the U. S. Treasurer at Washington to redeem uncurrent national bank notes, ever invested? The Star will have to think of a much worse objection than this to injure the guarantee bank deposit proposition.

THE PARTISAN “ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.”

The Anti-Saloon League has been able to do effective work because it has enjoyed the co-operation of men of all parties. Democrats, Republicans and Prohibitionists have joined together to oppose the saloons, and in spite of laws that give every technical advantage to the applicant for license, have been able to eliminate the saloons from many localities of Indiana. Now for the Anti-Saloon League to abuse its position and attempt to line up the temperance element for a candidate for gover nor who represents the very worst and most dangerous elements in his political organizations, whose work in the house of representatives as a part of the autocratic Cannon machine has been to defeat measures designed 'to make the temperance work of the states more effective, is inexcusable and indefensible. The leaders in the Ati-Saloon League have been duped, they have been misled. —Sullivan Times.

WATSON AND THE “BLIND TIGER.”

One can hardly conceive how James E. Watson, Republican candidate for governor, can go out over the state preaching temperance while at the same time he is a member in high standing of that notorious blind tiger, the Columbia Club, at Indianapolis, where “booze” flows freely for twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week, in direct violation of law—a jplnt of which its members make the proud boast that they are equipped to furnish any drink that may be called for. Is that consistent with Watson’s attitude on the stump?—Portland Sun. •

AN IDEAL GOVERNOR. The manifest feeling among voters of all parties in Indiana is that Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, the demcratlc candidate, would make an ideal governor. With practical unanimity this is the sentiment of the newspapers, republican and Democratic alike. This settled conviction mentioned above has been arrived at on the part of the voters by a study of the characters of the two leading candidates for governor, Marshall and Watson, and the manner In which each secured his nomination. It is not too much to say that the method of which. Mr. Watson secured his nomination left a decidedly bad impression among the respectable element of the republican party. They feel that the office of governor is one of too much dignity and responsibility to be raffled off by a lot of pot house politicians. The attitude of Mr. Marshall, both before and after the convention, has been beyond criticism ''and by it he earned enconiums from the republican press. His declaration that he would not indulge in church or lodge politics to secure votes put Mr. Watson at a disadvantage, for the latter’s method of campaigning has been to make ardent love to every element that possessed a vote, possibly coqsollng himself with the thought that “politics knows no conscience.” : '■ It is the general belief of skilled politicians of both old parties that if the election was to be held today Mr. Marshall would be elected governor by ont of-the largest majorities ever given a governor in thisstate. As the campaign progresses we expect to see the Marshall sentiment become more pronounced. His election would mean the Inaugural of a new era In state administration which for cleanness and ability would be a decided contrast to the administrations of recent years.— Auburn Courier.

ALL RIGHT—AND KEEP IT SO.

It is a well known fact in every township in Indiana, that you cannot find a Democrat in the state who is not confident that Thomas Riley Marshall will be elected goveri*or, and accompanying it is the strong belief that Bryan and Kern will be elected by the country as president and vice president. This is born of the fact that Democracy has a decided advantage in the state and national platforms, and the more potent fact that we have the more important advantage of having chosen stronger leaders in the campaign. On the other hand there is a silent belief among tens of thousands of Republicans that they will lose the election in state and nation, and not infrequently this is conftdentialy expressed, but not for publication. This admission is made by men who have for years made it their business to observe the trend of public opinion and the election results which follow. The form of the verdict of good judges is that, if the election were held today, the Democrats would carry Indiana by not less than 20,000 and would gain a substantial majority in the electoral college. In this qualification lies the most important admonition to Democrats, namely, that nothing can defeat their party save the efforts of Republicans between now and election in the use of money and the perversion of the will of the people by other campaign methods. Vigilance then should be the watchword of Democracy from now until Nov. 3. The people are with the Democracy now, and but for the pecuniary campaign methods of the opposition the victory will be sweeping. It is the duty of every Democrat not to indulge himself in overconfidence, but to be on the watch tower and see that there shall be no invasion of the ranks by an insidious enemy powerful only in the arrogance of wealth and the impudent boast of corporations that elections can be purchased now as iu the past.

POLITICAL NOTES FROM EXCHANGES

The Democrats of Boone county never were nor© unamimous in the support of the ticket from president homeward from the Bea uncertain where she’s at; but the widow down to county commissioner, and they Teel confident of a victory this fall. There are rm sulkers nor malcontents in the Democratic camp.— Lebanon Pioneer. A few days ago a Connorsville factory was forced to reduce the Vvages of its working force from 50 cents to one dollar per week. Another beautiful example of £he way the Republican high tariff “protects’’, the small industries and the way it also “protects” the wage earner. And still Mr. Taft says there are some lines on which the schedules should be raised higher.-—Conners-ville Examiner. If bank deposits are guaranteed as recommended in the Democratic national platform, funds in bank will be as good as gold In the pocket. There will be no more money panics because there will be no more lack of confidence, Washington will not have to go to the aid of Wall street banks in trouble, because all bankers, being jointly responsible, will watch the Wall stret banks and see that they do not do dangerous and irregular business. —Bloomington Courier. The Republican state platform approves the record of Its party,. Some facts in the record which is approved show that the Republican approved show that the Republicans increased salaries, created more offices, increased the state’s expenditures, and made personal use of the state’s money—that even the governor was furnished some of the money which afterward was shown to have belonged to this “borrowed” fund. These are a few of the things which were approved. And the Republican papers and speakers are pleading with the people to continue the party in power and thus approve this record.—Martinsville Democrat. During the past few weeks we have had a chance to talk with scores of men in different stations in life, and during most of these conversations the all-important topic of politics has been brought up. A great many of the persons whom J:he writer has talked were Republicans and the greater per cent of them say they will not vote the national Republican ticket this fall. We talked with miners, common laborers, farmers, railroad men, traveling men and professional men, and It Beems that a great majority of them are opposed to Mr. Taft. Why is this? Because Mr. Taft is the tool of the corporations.—Liberty Express. We should like to see the color of the Democrat’s hair who can be hood-winked into voting the Republican ticket on account of the alleged temperance plank. An unbroken alliance of the Republican machine and brewers for a dozen years has not tended to educate that machine along temperance lines.—New Castle Democrat.

GANDER BONE’S FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER.

(Copyright 1908, by C. H. Rteth.) Now Bryan was having A speech phonographed, When who should walk in But the giant Bill Taft— they laughed. “Good morning,” said Bryan, Displaying a look Of joy and surprise As he layed down his book— And they shook. a “I have come for a visit,” Said Taft, while his hat. Was hung on a nail By the great Democrat— And they sat. “Delighted!" said Bryan, “If I be allowed The sentiment Ted Has so often avowed”— And he bowed. “I suppose,” ventured Taft, With a smile that was sweet, “You have just made a record That I’ve got to beat”— Veiy neat. “Why no,” Bryan laughed, “1 have records for two; You may make one yourtelf -If you wish so to do— After you. But Taft waved his hand \With a show of suspicion, And said, “I am not A machine politician”— Intermission. In the old Roman calendar September was the seventh month of the year. This brought Labor Day around in the heat of the summer. All the unions said it was too hot to march far enough to make any impression on capital. Like every other politician, Numa was afraid of the labor vote, so he pushed Septemebr along to the ninth place in the calendar ann had Labor Day

fall on the first day of Autumn. The unions were thus enabled to march twice as far, and Numa bad to refuse a third term. The old school bell will toll the knell of youthful summer joys, and the girls will meekly get in lind, together with some boys; but the gamer youngsters will hide out a few days In dissent, and later on the last one In will run for President. The summer girl will get her coat and Merry Widow hat, and journey easily caressed because sbe stuck to toques, will bring a mollycoddle home and show it to the folks. The tourist who have been abroad on fashionable trips, will homeward wend with hotel tags stuck all around their grips; and thronging in their wake will come a never ending flow of busted immigrants to see where they got all the dough. Septemebr Is when the autumnal equinox the musquito out. This occurs on the 22d, when the sun goes over the equator for a touchdown on the Ice cream gigglery and summer underwear. The coal man will kick goal, ana Mr. Roosevelt, leaving Sagamore Hill, will turn to Washington and the serious.business of loading some more shells for lions. The cooler air will stimulate The Presidential\race, And everybody will hit up A little faster pace. The smiling entry from the Platte Will put up clouds of dust. And the roly-poly man will run Till he is like to bust. And Teddy meanwhile will observe the contest through his glass, and stick around the half-mile post until the runners pass; and if he fears the Platte will win the highest prized of boons, he’ll laugh and whistle up a few old reassuring tunes, and toss a big fat bumblebee in Taft’s back pantaloons. And then there will be doings on this none too stable earth, and every Democrat will get his campaign dollar's worth, the Hisgens, Debs, and all of that inconsequential fry, will duck into the weeds and watch the big event go by; and the Taft men, looking on the while the fireworks

pop and sizz, will hold on tightly and enquire, “Which cloud of dust is his?” The touch of Fall will make the ripe And falling acorn thud, And the crawfish will throw up his tail And burrow in the,mud; The dread mosquito will depart From this terrestial scene, But he'll die, as well becomes the brave With his face against the screen. And then the fall enlivened colt will frolic on the hill, and the railroads will return the folks they found too tougn to kill; the fat and idle plutocrat will close his summer place, and the candidate will mount the stump and run off at the face. After the 23d, September will be under the influence of Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac. The sign of Libra represents a pair of scales held in the hand of a scorpion. It is of Chaldean origin, and is supposed to mean that about the 23d is where the ice man gets stung himself.

People born under Libra are incapable of pretense; the women never kiss women they hate, and the men play a wretched game of poker. Libra people also have no ear for music, and generally play some particularly loud instrument in the village band. The swallow will desert the eave And start the movement south, And the farmer prime himself to spit Through early autumn’s drouth; The pumpkins will grow long and gaunt With dragging on the vine, And when the time shall come for old John D. to get in line And pay his month’s installment on That thirty million fine, We’ll hear a horse-laugh that will give Us shivers down the spine. The moon will be full on the 10th, and the American fleet will make the Society Islands about the 12th. It is expected that it will remain there permanently, society having become its long suit. With the advent of autumn, vicepresidential whiskers will begin to blend with Nature’s general color scheme, and both Mr. Sherman and Mr. Kern will run a little stronger on the tails of their tickets. And then October will return, That gladsome time and rare When the pumpkin-pie will answer “Here!”, Upon the bill-M-fare.
