. .n.i,!.. » The Rensselaer Republican objects to The Democrat’s refering to the Indianapolis News as a republican paper. Well, we have known the News for many years, and it has always supported every republican candidate for the presidency since we have known it up to this campaign, and has been classed by practically everyone as a republican paper. This campaign it doesn’t appear to be supporting anyone—simply telling the truth—ana of course the Republican now classes it as a democratic paper!

County Chairman Littlefield talked with the chairman of the state democratic speakers’ bureau over the long-distance 'phone Tuesday regarding the failure of Congressman Flood of West Virginia filling his appointment at Remington Monday night. Chairman Hernden was as much in the dark as anyone about it. Congressman Flood was .billed for four speeches in Indiana, and for some reason, unexplained at the time Chairman Littlefield talked with Mr. Hernden, he failed to fill any of his dates. If the state committee was written as to why he could not come here, it had failed to receive the word, otherwise other speakers would have been sent to fill his dates. Mrs. A. F. Shesler and daughter Edna, also Mrs. C. W. Shesler, went to Woodland, 111., Wednesday to visit relatives and friends for the next two weeks.

pJVm. Hordeman of Genessee, Idaho? is here for a few days visit with his brother, Peter Hordeman, Sr., west of town. Mr. Hordeman used to live out near Stott Grant’s, west of town, and left here 30 years ago he borrowed the money of his brother Peter to go on. Now he owns a 320 acre farm near Genessee, which he rents and has a 8-acre place at the edge of town, where he himself lives. He has a comfortable bank account, and a few years ago made a trip to his old home in Germany. He thinks the section of Idaho where he lives is the “only place.” Wheat, oats and barley are the principal crops raised there, but Mr. Hordeman attributes much of hisfinancial success to hog raising. ?Mle Ba Y B he has fed 80-cent wheat to hogs and made money out of them. Some years he lost money on hogs, but he stuck to it and made it win. He is a man who had very little education in early life, but he now has the appearance of and talks like a very well read and well informed man, which he is in the practical things of life. He attributes his success also to the fact that he reads the papers and has kept himself well posted. He thinks the newspapers are the greatest educators of the day, and says every parent should take one or more papers in his home and see to it that his children read them. If they do this they will be well informed and well fitted to battle with the problems they meet in their later journeys through life. This is Mr. Hordeman's first visit here since he left. He takes quite an interest in politics and is a Bryan man all through.

JUDGE DARROCH’S POSITION. Kentland, Ind., Oct. 28, 1908. Dear Sir: Some of the questions that effect the state and national legislative ticket this year are of more than ordinary importance. Every conservative, thinking man, whatever his party affiliation may be, should not hestitate to decide for himself in the mutual Interest of all. The proposition to guarantee deposits in bank, both state, and national, is of peculiar interest to you and of unquestlloned ‘ general benefit. The money held .as a deposit by banks generally, is only fair that, they, out of the great profits made by loaning the money of their depositors, pay each year a small per cent of that profit as a guaranty fynd. It is believed that it would prevent runs on banks; restore confidence; revive business; and * render panics next to impossible. The guaranty fund would be paid by the banks and the small per cent, required to maintain the fund would be many times offset by the increased profits it would bring to the bank. As a candidate for Congress, I favor the guaranty of bank deposits, and our candidates for the legislature, Algie J, Law, stands with me on this proposition and we submit ft as ground for your support. Yours very truly, WILLIAM DARROCH. Subscribe for The Democrat.

STATE GUARANTEE.

GIVEN A DOUBLE BILL

Syracuse, N. Y„ Entertained by the Two Party Leaders at the Same Time. BRYAN AND TAFT BOTH THERE Each Given a Welcome That Goes to the Very Limit NEBRASKAN IS NOW HIKING WEST Doing Another Spellbinding Stunt tn Ohio Today—Both Candidates Join a “Mystique Krewe" —Day’s Work Notes.

Syracuse, N. Y., Oct 80—To this elty fell the distinction of entertaining at the same time the two men moat prominent in public interest TO applauding thousands William J. Bryan and Judge Taft expounded respectively Democratic and Republican doctrines. Bryan spoke at four meetings and Taft at two. At each occasion the warning “standing room only” was displayed long before the hour of the meeting, and before the “big men” arrived standing room was at a premium and hundreds were turned away. Also, In each instance the presidential candidates were received with flattering demonstrations, and their speeches were frequently interrupted by spontaneous applause. They Arrive at the Same Hour. The Bryan aqd Taft specials arrived at the station at almost the same moment —shortly after 6 p. m.—and the expressions of jjjrelcome were pretty evenly divided. Both candidates were met by local leaders and entertained at dinner. Bryan left his car upon arrival and shook hands with many on the platform. Taft improved the opportunity to rest for a little while after his car had come to a standstill. Taft ■poke at the Alhambra convention hall, ■nd at Turn ball. Previous to the meeting there was a Republican parade. Bryan Starts for the West. Bryan was accompanied by Judge 'Alton B. Parker and I. J. Dunne. His first address was at the city hall, this being followed by speeches at the Wleting Opera House, Empire hall, •nd before the Modern Woodmen of America, who entertained Bryan just before his departure for the west late •t night. Taft remained In town during the night. While here, as an added compliment, both of the distinguished guests were Initiated into the Mystique Krewe of Kanoono.

BRYAN WESTWARD BOUND Spellbinding in Ohio Today—Gets a New Name at Syracuse. Syracuse. N. Y., Oct. 30.—Having delivered In this city bis last speech of the campaign in the Empire State. William J. Bryan is now speeding westward, and this morning made another Invasion of Ohio. A feature in connection with Bryan's arrival here was his initiation in his private car into the Order of Mystique Krewe of Kanoono, a Syracuse •"boosters’ ” club. According to the rules of the club he was given the Indian name of “Heap Big Talk Papoose of the Platte,” which interpreted means ‘The Boy Orator of the Platte.” Before boarding bls ear the candidate expressed himself as well pleased with his reception here, as well as with the other welcomes received during his five days' tour of the state. During the day the Democratic candidate’s themes principally were “honesty in government,” and the “Republican claims for prosperity.” He spoke at Cohoes, Utica, Rome, Oneida and Canastota, and at Rome, referring to the preparations being made for the Republican demonstration in New York city tomorrow night, said that they would be better to spend their money for lodging the unfortunate people who sleep in the city’s parks than to spend it in red fire, bands and costly reviewing stands. Paying a visit to Utica, the home of Sherman. Republican vice presidential nominee, Bryan got a groat demonstration. “It was one of the best meetings of the campaign,” said be upon returning to his car. The opera bouse where he spoke was inadequate to accommodate the crowd which assembled to hear him ai 1 he made an overflow talk to double the number outside. In bls remarks Bryau discussed the Issues of the campaign generally, and put to a vote several of the questions embraced in the Democratic platform, and they were carrieu unanimously.

In this city Judge Parker was the first speaker at the Opera House meeting. and he lauded Bryan and severely criticised Taft and Hughes, and the crowd cheered itself hoarse when he concluded his tribute to Bryan. The Nebraskan was given a rousing welcome when be appeared, having spoken first at the city hail. Bryan drew an argument for bank deposit guaranty from a United States consular report ■which, referring to the deposits in savings banks in Germany, said that the bulwark of the confidence of German depositors was the guarantee of the deposits by German municipalities In this country, Bryan said, the banks •were so favored by the law that thy should supply the guaranty of deposits themselves instead of the community, as in Germany. He said the German experience was • complete answer to Taft’s argument •gainst deposit guaranty, and a storm M applause greeted the statement. The

Nebraskan also discussed other cautr paign Issues and declared high protective tariff the mother of panics. 4 STORY OF TAFT'S DAY’S WORK Some of the Declarations Made by the Ohio Man. Syracuse, N. Y„ Oct. 30.—Republican cheers sounded in the wake of the Taft train, which visited Lyona, Canadaifua, Geneva. Seneca Faile and Auburn. The climax was reached at night in this city with a big parade, two meetings and an overflow providing audiences of thousands which Judge Taft addressed. There was no lack of auditors and enthusiastic demonstrations wherever the Ohioan tarried. He hit at the. roots of what he considered Democratic fallacies In every speech, and was free In expressing his optimism as to what the result will be next Tuesday. Governor Hughes was commended in strong language; likewise the remainder of the New York state ticket and the vice presidential candidate.

At Lyons, the first speech of the day, where he talked to an audience which packed Gilchrist hall, he asserted that the defeat in 1.896 of the “silver heresy” was a victory for good that was exceeded only by the victory of our army in the civil war. The next extended effort of the candidate was at Canandaigua, where he went into an analysis of government through political parties. The vital issue of this campaign. Judge Taft asserted, was whether or not the people of the United States have been well served under the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt. “I sometimes think,” he said, “that we fail to appreciate what governing means. It does not mean oratory. It does not mean the power of debate. It does not mean the advancement of plausible theories; but it means the power of efficient performance.”

At Geneva, where Judge Taft had a l*reg and attentive audience composed largely of those interested in labor, he talked a half hour longer than his schedule permitted. Here he took up the Injunction issue and said the Democratic platform asserts “that Injunctions ought not to issue In industrial disputes, unless they would issue under the same circumstances in any other dispute. Nobody over said that they ought to. That is one of those meaningless declarations. * * • Whether Mr. Bryan knows what Mr. Gompers claims it means, or would understand it if lie did, is to me so vague, because Mr. Bryan has not answered the questions put to him by the president on this very subject.”

Kern's Indiana Tonr. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct 30.—Two rousing meetings In tills city brought the fourth day of John W. Kern’s Indiana campaign to a whirlwind flshish. An hour before be appeared here be addressed a big crowd of miners and laboring men at Brazil. The three audiences were the largest he has spoken to since he entered upon his canvass of the state on Monday. Today Kern will visit Greencastle, Shelbyville, Rushville and go to Indianapolis for t meeting tonight.

As to the Next Congress. New York, Oct. 30.—Representative Henry C. Ix>udenslager. New Jersey, secretary of the national Republican congressional committee, has given out Me estimates of the completion of the national bouse of representatives in the Slxty-flrst congress. He says that a conservative estimate of the political complexion of the next bouse is that it will show 2i7 Republicans and 104 Democrats.

WILL SUPPORT MARSHALL

Terre Haute, Ind., October 29. O. O. Whltenack, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League for the Terre Haute district, has received notice from the Rev. E. M. Rhoads, of Dana, Vermilion county, of his withdrawal from the League. MrRhoads says that after investigation he has decided to support Marshall for Governor. He says he has obtained inside information about some of the League candidates which caused him to withdraw, referring to Watson and to D. C. Johnson, the latter the candidate for Representative for Vermilion and Vigo counties.

ABOUT BANK GUARANTEE.

Have you. heard anyone give a good, sensible reason why you should not be given as good a guarantee, in the case of a bank failure, as a bank is compelled to give to the government, the state, the county, the township or the city? To secure government deposits, government bonds must be deposited in the United States Treasury., To secure state, county, township and municipal funds, an approved bond is required. Who is it that receives no guarantee, no security, for his money? The answer is, the individual depositor, the very man from whom the bank derives its profits. And why? Because some bankers, and the republican party, say he is not entitled to it. Taft, Watson, Crumpacker and Halleck are dead square against the guarantee proposition. Who says he is entitled to a guarantee. Bjyan, Marshall, Darroch, Law and Gerber. You have seen the calamity brought on an outraged public by the failure of A. McCoy & Co.. Baldwin & Dague, Robert Parker and Fred Gilman? It ought not to be difficult to determine who to vote for this year. It is now up to you to decide.
