When you see it in a Beveridgfc organ —if it relates to Democratic affairs —'remember that a plentiful supply of salt is needed—and perhaps a powerful disinfectant.

In spite of the fact that Wade H. Ellis was given a leave of absence from his duties as official trust-buster of the Taft administration in order that he could give all of his time to “saving Ohie,” it appears that the Republicans pi that state have engaged in a throat-slitting contest which bids fair to finish them after the fashion of "their Indiana brethern.

E. M. Lee, Mr. Beveridge’s state chairman, expressed the opinion in print that those republicans who disagree with the senator’s speech and platform are “of no great importance.” This is not the political rating that Watson, Heminway, Landis. Fairbanks, Durbin, Goodrich and others of the old guard, including Editor “Bob” Brown, give, themselves. ■ „

State Chairman U. S. Jackson, speaking before the Indiana Democratic club at Indianpolis the other night, declared that there is widespread satisfaction Qyer the outcome of the state convention, and he predicted that that the Democrats will sweep the state. As Mr. Jackson keeps in close touch with the potiticat situation and is always disposed to be conservative in his public statements, it can be set down that he knows exactly what he is talking about

The Democratic voters of Indiana remember that while there are three English daily newspapers printed in Indianapolis, not one of them is Democratic or even near Democratic. The Star and Sun are planetary orbs of the Republican solar system. The esteemed News, comet-like, pursues its erratic and parabolic course within the same system. Democrats who want dependable illumination on party matters yannot safely look at either of the above publications. It is quite the contrary, and this fact should not be forgotten.

Two Democratic congressmen from Indiana, namely, Cox of the Third district, and Adair of the Eighth, have started a war on the mileage graft allowed congressmen. Under the law as it stands 20 cents a mile is allowed to cover traveling expenses to and from Washington. As rhilroad rates are approximately only 2 cents a mile, the 20 cents allowance 0 should be abolished. In their fight Adair and Cox Tiave the support of every other democratic congressman from Indiana, and even Barnard and Crumpaker, the. two republicans, talk as if they favored a change.

After eliminating from the campaign contribution publicity bill the provisions requiring the publication in advance of congressional elections of the names of contributors and the amounts given by them, the senate committee on. privileges and elections ordered a favorable report on that meastire. If the senate committee’s idea is carried out contributions will : not.be published until fifteen days after such elections. The reason before election was that the attention of the voters might be diverted” from the issues in such a way as to be “prejudicial to the public interests.” Which, of course, is poppycock. It would only be prejudicial to the candidates who would be shown to be backed by self-seeking persons or corporations.

The Republican papers of the state had hoped—and possibly the editors of some of them had prayed that the Democrats would do something in their state

convention that would make trouble for themselves and incidentally brighten the Republican sky. As nothing of the son. happened, but quite the contrary, the tone of the Republican press, as it contemplates the thickening gloom, is exceedingly depressed. Of course they can still abuse Tom Taggart and hammer away at John Kern and criticise Governor Marshall and so on and so forth ad nauseum, but they make no headway along that line. Indiana Democrats have settled all of their their own affairs to theii entire satisfaction and are now in position to give their undivided attention to the other fellows, and that is just what they “propose to do.

It is admitted that the people are at last thoroughly awake to the iniquities of Republican taiiff legislation. They know how, under such legislation, for every dollar they have paid into the public treasury for public purposes they have paid five to private individuals for private purposes. Under high - sounding but fraudulent pretense of “protecting” the country's industries, tariff laws have been enacted to swell the enormous gains of the trusts and monopolies that not Only needed'no protection, but that were shipping their products abroad and selling them at prices far below those exacted from the American people. The Democratic party has called the attention of the people to these and other things time and again and begged the voters of the country to assist it in righting the worst wrong of the age. Will they do it now, or will large numbers of them throw away the opportunity by supporting either Republican “regulars” or “insurgents,” both of whom are still committed to the policy of “protection,” which is the foundation stone of legalized .larceny, monopoly and almost prohibitive prices of the necessaries of life.

Shall Women Vote?

If they did, millions would vote Dr. King’s New Life Pills the true rentedy for women. For banishing dull, fagged feelings, backache or beadache, constipation, dispelling bolds, imparting appetite and toning up the system, they’re unequaled. Easy, safe, sure. 25c at A. F. Long’s. - \

REPUBLICAN DEFEAT

Stunning Blow Delivered to Payne-Aldrich Tariff LANDSLIDE AT ROCHESTER “An Honest and Reasonable Revision Demanded fn the Interests of the Consumer” Tide Turning Strongly Against Trust Protection. New York as well as Massachusetts ijas found an opportunity for lodging its protest against political bossdom and tariff robbery and has used it splendidly. In the Thirty-second congress district, comprising the town of Rochester, the Democratic '’andidate, James S. Havens, has been elected by a majority of 5,831 votes over the Republican boss, George W. Aldridge. A Republican majority of 10,000 has been converted into a Democratic majority of the above size. Local and personal Issues, it is true, helped to effect this result The Republican candidate was proved to have taken a SI,OOO bribe for political favors. But national feetors also figured in the election, especially the tariff, as reflected in the Canadian dispute and the high cost of living.

The Democratic candidate, we are told, “stood on a platforin advocating tariff reform in the of the consumer, a revision of the duties on wool and woolen goods, a removal of the tax on hides and lumber in the interest of cheaper houses and for the preservation of forests, a removal of the tariff on iron ore, an income tax and, finally, advocating independence of all political bosses of any party.” His opponent contented himself with general proclamations in favor of the policies of the Republican administration and was a stand patter on the tariff. The successful candidate gave out the following explanation of his victory: “This is not wholly a partisan victory. In a larger sense it is a victory of the free people of Rochester axd Monroe county over a bipartisan organization and its boss. While this may be justly heralded as a great Democratic victory It was no less such a one as the progressive Republicans have been winning both in the east and the west It is a victory over the things for which Cannon has stood and for the ideals which Governor Hughes typifies. The result of the vote in the city wards shows that the revolt of the men who most feel the high prices of necessaries against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill Mas not been exaggerated. The people of this county, I feel certain, demand an honest and a reasonable revision of the tariff schedules in the interest of the consumer and not in favor of the special interests which exchange campaign contributions for favors in legislation." The defeated boss, on being asked what he had to say about the result, remarked: “I was licked, and that’s all there is to say. You can figure out the reasons for your Self.” Although Senator Payne, at Washington, when asked what he thought of the result, professed to regard it as “a question of the man, not of the party,” yet the Republican party managers know too well that it is nothing of the kind. The evidence is too strong against them, and it keeps coming. This is the third election in succession since the passage of the new tariff law where the Democrats have won. Representative Eugene N. Foss of Massachusetts, the newly elected congressman, commenting upon the election, said: “It was the Payne-Aldrich bill that defeated Aldridge. While there were other contributing causes, I will admit, the issue was mainly an honest revision of the tariff and Canadian reciprocity. The pledge made by the Republicans that they would make an honest revision of the tariff is In the people’s minds. This result means only one thing, and that is that all the chaps who voted for the Payne-Al-drieh bill have got to go. Aldrich and Hale have already been taken ill, haven’t they? And there will be a lot more who will be taken ill or will not run or something else will happen. The old time leaders have had their innings, and the tide is turning strongly against them.” „

A Simple Explanation.

We are told by the tariff apologists that “more than half of the merchandise imported under the new tariff law enters the United States free of duty.” Really, indeed! But, as the Baltimore Sun remarks, “duties can be put sohigh on dutiable goods that no dutiable goods will come in at all, and then the percentage of free imports will be 100.”

Boss Aldridge’s SI,OOO check was nothing to the check which the Republican machine got for putting him up.
