Andy Carnagie has contributed >20,000 to the republican campaign fund. Andy has been able by close eoonemy to save <300,000,000 In the last 35 years, and all of It has been saved out of the Iron business, which has enjoyed a good stiff tariff tax all of these years. Andy feels grateful to the g. o. p. for all these things to the extent of his contribution to Its corruption fund.
DON’T FORGET THE NAME. According to press dispatches the Sharpies cream separator manufactory in'Pennsylvania will close down in case of Bryan’s election, and run full time if Taft wins. This is the same old dodge, and democrats, the country over, should not forget the names of these concerns that attempt such measures In forcing their employes to support the trust-rid-den party. Commenting on this action by the Sharpies company, W. J. Bryan in a speech Saturday, said: “A dispatch announces this morning that a Pennsylvania manufacturer of separators has given notice to bls employes that the factory will close down for an extended period if I am elected. This is the most discouraging threat that I have yet. read. I supposed that the cows would go on giving milk under a Democratic administration as well as a Republican, but if as a result of my election cows are going to dry up In November and not become fresh again for four years, It Vlll really be a serious matter. There must be some mistake about this separator business. The men may be manufacturing the separator that the Republican party has been using, for it has been using a separator that has separated the cream from the milk,, and it has given the milk to the rest of the people. That kind of a separator will no longer be used, and who manufacture It may find their occupation gone; but for the rest of the people it will be a glad day, a day of rejoicing.”
THEY WILL TRY TO BUY UP THE ELECTION AGAIN.
The republican party is going to buy the election if money will accomplish that result; 3500,000 has been raised in New York since last Friday according to the Chicago Inter-Ocean of yesterday, the leading republican paper of Chicago, for that purpose, and will be used in New York, Ohio and Indiana! And 3500,000 more is promised the last two weeks of. the campaign! Think of it! The same old slush fund that has purchased victory for the g. o. p. in every campaign since the Civil war! And who contributes it? The Wall street pirates, the railroads and tariff thieves who fatten off the common people. Is it to be wondered at that Theodore Roosevelt and W. H. Taft want to keep the names of these pirates, these railroad magnates, these tariff thieves from the voters until after the votes are cast November 3 ? They dare not publish them before. Once the people know who is financing the republican campaign,. Bryan's majority could not be count- l ed in a year! We do not believe 1 the Ajnerican people will stand for this • corruption, this purchasing the highest • office in the gift of any on the face of the earth. They, have the opportunity to utterly crush this band of freebooters, to annihilate these bandits, who under the guise of patriotism and saving the country have delivered it over to a gang of buccaneers who have looted every home in the land! If you have been inactive, get busy! If you have not taken any interest so far, isn’t it time you were? Get to work, and no amount of money can defeat a determined people—determined to have their own, to have their rights! Let the slogan be. “To Arms!”
MR. KERN’S STRONG CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Lloyd of the Democratic congressional committee, on returning to headquarters from a trip to the Bast, said: "Vice Presidential Candidate Kern made a number of effective speeches in the East. In New York and Maryland the Democrats whom I saw expressed themselves as highly pleased with Mr. Kern's speaking tour. They said his visit did the party good." __ What John W. Kern says in his speeches always does the party good. Wherever he has spoken in the present campaign his force and ability have attracted Instantaneous attention. The party was exceedingly fortunate tn his nomination, a fact which all Indiana knew from the beginning, and which the whole country now freely admits.

A CHARGE OF ATTEMPTEO BR BERY.
Everyone who knows Luther W. Knlsely. a representative In the legislature from Dekalb dounty, knows that he is an honest, conscientious man, who is respected by his neighbor* regardless of party. He Is a quiet, unassuming man, who dislikes notoriety. But when he was Improperly approached with an offer of appointment to office If he would desert his party and vote for Governor Hanly’s county option bill, he thought It his duty to make the fact public. Within an hour after th* dishonors ble proposition had been made, Mr Knlsely denounced It on the floor ol the house. Later he made an affidavit setting out the facts involving Repub-' Ucan Senator Wickwire and Governor Hanly. Then there was great squirming among the Republican schemers. Doubtless they had not dreamed that a practice, so usual and ordinary among Republican politicians of their class, would cause so much fuss. Ths trouble was that they had ran up against an honorable man and in that had made a “mistake.** Everybody knew that Mr. Knlsely had told the truth.
The governor, with great apparent Indignation, called for a legislative Inquiry. This was held and Mr. Knlsely reiterated his story. The governor declared that he had only talked to Knlsely "on high moral grounds," and Wlckwlre said he was "misunderstood,” etc., etc. The Investigating committee expressed confidence in Knlsely, gave the governor a neat (but thin) coat of whitewash, but failed to exonerate Wickwire. And then Wickwlre declared that the committee had made a “scapegoat" out of him. He tried to see Hanly, but the governor was not td be seen. The legislature adjourned, leaving Wlckwlre in the air, and at last accounts he was still trying to “see Hanly," who was still sturdily refusing to be seen.
SLANDERING TRAVELING MEN.
A large proportion of the traveling ' men who represent houses doing business in Indiana are supporting Bryan and Kern and Marshall. There are many Republicans among them. They are opposed to Taft and* Sherman and Watson and doubtless they make their opposition known wherever they go. No class of men are better informed on public questions, especially those ; which affect their interest!. The Re- ! publican organization is trying to ! break down the Influence of these men. James E. 'Watson’s home organ, the i Rushville Republican, is particularly slanderous and vicious. On Sept. 17th ! that paper published an article which the Republican organization is distributing. From this article we take the following: "For several weeks traveling men have been going up and down the state crying down Watson at every opportunity. The only unfavorable reports heard this fall could be traced to the traveling men. • ♦ • • y "It has now developed that the socalled traveling men are fakes, pure and simple, nothing more than hirelings of the brewers, who are behind the Democratic state committee in the present campaign. And some of them are the worst type of Individuals, such as crooks, bartenders, hangers-on, exconvicts and the like. * * Most of their pictures can be found in the rogue’s gallery in Indianapolis and other cities. * * Think of men of this type going about the state spreading malicious reports about a man as- , piling for the great office of governor!" These extracts from the article are sufficient to show Its purpose, which is to cast discredit upon every traveling salesman who dares tp express opposition to the Republican party and Its candidates. It is a disreputable piece of business, but it will not close the mouth pf any honest man. The publication and circulation of the story has been denounced by traveling men's clubs as a peculiarly vicious and senseless slander. ' - "Funny Jim" Sherman and Longworth, Roosevelt’s son-in-law, pretend to be desperately afraid that something may happen to the gold standard. The Republicans have declared > in two campaigns that they had estab'llshed the gold standard "firmly,’’ but : Funny Jim and the equally funny Nick say that the whole thing can be overturned by “executive order.” This is ’ not true, but that fact doesn’t keep these two great statesmen from tell--1 ing it.
The legislature kicked Governed* bill Into the ashheap. but ho la going to "throw" himself into the campaign “for all he is worth,” It is announced. Two years ago he did the saml thing and the Re- ! publican party lost <50,000 votes. And now it will lose 60.000 more.
TWO CHIEFS IN ACTION
Taft Begins a Political “Hike" That Will Continue Until the Election. , FIRST DAY OF HIS OHIO TQUR Makes Seventeen Speeches with Labor Largely Hu Theme. Bryan Addresses the Students of the University at Hie Home Town In Reply to Hughes—Gompers' Appeal. )
Akron, 0., Oct. 13.—Seventeen Ohio towns beard and saw’ Judge Taft yesterday. He talked from Cincinnati to Akron through a portion of the state conceded to have been a Foraker stronghold, with a portion of the territory Democratic. While there was not the same vim and snap to the enthusiasm which the candidate got in some i portions of the west, he was listened to by large crowds, numbering thousands in many places, and w’hat he said was well applauded and many cheers were proposed and executed with a will. There was no shout for Bryan heard. The important speeches of the day were at Zanesville, Cambridge and Akron, where, in each instance, the candidate left the train to meet his audience. In his Zanesville speech Taft w’ent after both Bryan and Gpmpers. Didn't Invent Injunctions. "Mr. Bryan goes around the country saying I am the father of injunctions,” declared Taft “It Is not true. I did not invent injunctions or injunctions in labor disputes. But it Is quite natural that Mr. Bryan should make the mistake, because In a letter he wrote to the district attorney of Belmont 0.. he said he had not read my decisions.” j Then he proceeded to show that the ! principles in injunctions laid down by i him have since been used by the I unions in their own defense and argued that instead of being considered an enemy to labor he should be considered Its friend. Beads a Labor Ix-ader's Letters. , At Canal Dover while making his labor speech the candidate was interrupted by an exclamation from the ' audience declaring: “Labor unions are gone.” “They are not gone,” replied Taft. "The Tabor organizations today are more prosperous, have more money have more influence. have more lawful I control than they ever had in their lives before.” At the Akron meeting Taft reiterated the {mints he had previously made on the labor question and read in his support recently published letters of Daniel J. Keefe, member of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, and head of the International Longshoremen and Teamsters’ organizations. Foraker's Name Mentioned. Music hall was crowded to its capacity to hear Judge Taft and the welcome he received in the streets was most enthusiastic. United States Senator Charles Dick, whose home Is tn Akron, presided at the meeting. In his Introduction of Judge Taft he mentioned Senator Foraker’s name in a list of others who had appointed the judge to political positions. In doing so he •aid that Judge Taft bad made good tn every place he held, wlletter under the appointment of Arthur, Harrison. Foraker, McKinley or Roosevelt After his Music hall-speech, Taft spent a few minutes at an Italian hall, where he was enthusiastically received. During the day speeches were made at Morrow, Wilmington, Sabina, Washington Court House. Circleville. New Holland, Lancaster, New Lexington. Crooksville, Roseville, New Concord, Cambridge, New Comerstown, Canal Dover. Massillon and Akron.
BRYAN TO THE STUDENTS He Replies to Governor Hughes in a Speech at Lincoln. Lincoln, Oet. 13.—1 n an address at the state university William J. Bryan attacked the arguments of Governor Hughes, of New York, iu defense of the Republican platform, dwelling on difference between the two platform* relating to publicity of campaign contributions. and discussed the propriety of President Roosevelt supporting Taft. Delivered forcibly and in Bryan’s best style, bls speech was repeatedly cheered by the university students. In attacking the position of the Republicans in the tariff situation, he delivered epigrams which kept the studbats cheering for minutes. During tlie speech he took a vote of the students who wete for and against publicity of campaign funds, and those Who were for and against election of Senators by a direct vote. The principal part of the speech of the candidate was occupied by a reply to the arguments of Hughes, who spoke to university students a short Jime ago. and who was greatly admired by university people. Chicago. Oct. 13.—Declaring that government by Injunction, which he gays W. H. Taft originated, is step by gtep destroying government by law and threatens to replace democracy with despotism In this country. President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, has issued an appeal to organized labor to support Bryan for president. He says: "Despotic power under the ermine is as dangerous as despotic power Hinder the crown. To stay its progress some remedy must be had, and we. therefore, appealed to j the KeoublK-au convention.' 1 where, be
•ays: "We asked for bread and they •bowed us a whip." V The Injunction Issue Gompers declares to be the main Issue of the campaign. His appeal Is made in a letter •ent out from Democratic national headquarters, under date of Oct. 12He discusses the question of labor unions and politics as follows: ‘’Labor has been and will be accused Of partisanship, but in performing a solemn duty at this time in support of a political party, labor does not become partisan to a political party, but partisan to • principle.”
