CAMPAIGN OPENS WITH HEADLINERS

Kern and Shively Speak This Week and Gov. Marshall Begins Next Monday. DEMOCRATS READY FOR FRAY •t ■ .... , ■ W. J. Bryan Enters State October 16 For Five Days, Speaking in Ten Cities. (By Guernsey Van Riper.) Indianapolis.—Governor Marshall will make his first speech In the Democratic campaign at Indianapolis, Monday, October 3. On Saturday of this week, which Is October 1, two other big campaign shots will be fired by John W: Kern and Senator B. F. Shively. Mr. Kern, who is the Democratic nominee for United States Senator, will speak at Evansville and Senator Shively at Laporte.

This is the outline agreed upon by the leaders for the formal opening of the campaign and by this plan the entire state will have an opportunity to hear the issues discussed ably and forcefully. The northern part of the state will be covered by Senator Shively, the central by Governor Marshall, and the southern by Mr. Kern. Thus, from October 1, on, the Democratic orators will be at it hammer and tongs and there will be no rest until November 8,

The Republican speaking campaign will also be under way by October 1, so that Indiana will be filled from border to border with politics and every stump will have its speaker. The speaking campaign has been a little late in starting, but this will be offset by the vigor with which the speakers will tackle the issues and fheir activity during the days between then and the election. The speaking will be practically confined to the month of October, with a final 1 wind-up of oratory in the first few days of November.

Governor Marshall, it is understood, will discuss extravagance and the high cost of living, but will devote himself more particularly to state affairs, being himself the head of the state government. His fine record as the state's chief executive has aroused

in the people of the state a strong desire to hear him and his views on the questions of the day. If every request Were granted. Governor Marshall would speak in every county in the state. This, of course, is somewhat out of the question and whatever time he gives to the campaign will be so allotted that as many people as possible may hear him. The meeting in Indianapolis will be held in Tomlinson Hall, which will seat about 3,000 people. There is great interest here in what the Governor may have to say and he is assured an audience that will put out the “S. R. O.” sign on the night of October 3. The Democrats of Marion county are very much interested, but the Republicans are not far behind. They will turn out by the hundred to hear the Governor. Ten Bryan Speeches. Col. William Jennings Bryan will enter Indiana October 15 ion a fivedays speaking tour under the auspices of the Democratic State .Committee. making two speeches each day. His itinerary, announced by Bert Hendren, chairman of the speakers’ bureau, takes Col. Bryan to Burlington, Lebanon, Owensville, Evansville, Bloomfield. Washington, Edinburg, Indianapolis, Crawfordsville and Richmond.

There was a big demand for Col. Bryan’s services in every part of the state, and it was a strenuous task to choose the places that would suit the most. people: It is possible that he will add one more day to his Indiana tour,! but with the five days he has already given, it was not possible to arrange for Speeches in more than ten cities. The speeches will be made in the following order: October J 5— Burlington, afternoon; Lebanon, evening.

October 17 —Owensville, afternoon; Evansville, evening. October 18 —Bloomfield, afternoon; Washington, evening. October 19—Edinburg, afternoon; Indianapolis, evening. October 20 —Cra'wfordsville, afternoon; Richmond, evening. Burlington is in Carroll county, situated so near one corner that the people of Clinton, Howard and Cass counties will have a g©od opportunity to hear the speech, Owensville is similarly situated in Gibson county, with reference to Posey and Vanderburg counties. The same is true of Edinburg, in Johnson county. The people of Shelby, Brown and Bartholomew counties will be able to attend.

SCORES ROOSEVELT.

Republican Country Editor Says Colonel’s Stock Hts Propped. The Newport (Ind.) “Hoosier State” the old Republican organ of Vermillion county, has had enough of Theodore Roosevelt. In an editorial the “HoOsier State” says plainly that Roosevelt made “an ass of himself’ when he refused to git at the table with Senator Lorimer at the Hamilton Club in Chicago. Attention ia called to the fact that Senator

Beveridge, former Vice-President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon were Invited guests and raised no obection to the presence of Senator Lorimer. Who, then, is this Roosevelt that he can consider himself better than these other gentlemen? inquires the “Hoosier Statd,” The editorial follows:

“Theodore Roosevelt, the great African hunter, who made a swing around the circle last week in the interest of a ‘muck-raking’ magazine of New York, to which muck-raker’ he is a contributing editor, created quite a sensation at Chicago last Thursday, when he refused to dine with the Hamilton Club if Senator William Lorimer, a member of the Club, was present.

“B 'Teddy’ wants to consider himself better than Senator Beveridge, former Vice-President Fairbanks, Uncle Joe Cannon, and other .celebrities who were there as guests of the club, and not one of whom raised any objections as to other guests, that is his business. But he should have been more mannerly and genteel about it ‘ ■ - ’

“Now-, honest Injun, what would you do, if you were invited to the editor’s home for a dinner and there was an enemy there? Would you raise h —ll about it? Or would you, out of respect of the editor’s hospitality, treat his guest civilly? “We agree writh Roosevelt in denouncing corruption, and if Lorimer is proven guilty we say give him the limit, but in this country he is presumed to be Innocent until proven guilty. It seems as though Roosevelt is trying to override precedent and the constitution' again. “Let’s see. Didn’t certain Indianapolis and New York dailies have something to say a few- years ago about a certain Panama canal deal? Were those papers not sued for libel? Have they been convicted yet? Couldn’t Lorimer with the same propriety refuse to have attended the banquet with a man charged with Panama crookedness?

“Oh, Teddy, you are boo much of a boss. You are too arrogant. You are too much of a dictator. There are several qualities about you that we admire, but you should come down 6ff your perch and not play for first page notoriety in the yellow journals. You should not be so anxious to create scenes. You would not have to sacrifice any of your independence. We think you need toe weights. “Roosevelt's stock has dropped several, points at this place since the incident.”

GOMPERS INDORSES DEMOCRATS.

In Non-Partisan Speech Shows Eleven Congressmen “Right” on Labor. The records of the American Federation of Labor, on file at Washington, D. C., show that every Democratic member of the Indiana delegation in Congress is regarded as friendly to the cause of labor and that the two Republican members of the Indiana delegation are considered unfriendly. This record was announced recently in Indianapolis by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who made a nonpartisan speech in Tomlinson Hall in behalf of labor candidates. “When 1 learned that I was to speak in Indiana,” said Mr.j Gompers, “I wrote to the bureau maintained by the legislative committee of the American Federation in Washington and asked for the records of the Indiana Congressmen.” Mr. Gompers then read from the report made to him by the Washington Bureau. The names of Representatives Boehne, Cullop, Coxi Dixon, Moss, Morrison. Korblv, Adair, Rauch, Cline and Barnhart were given as “right” on all labor questions. They are Indiana’s eleven Democratic Representatives. The names of Congressmen Crumpacker and Barnard were read as "opposed” to organized labor’s measures. Crumpacker and Barnard are the two Republican members of the delega tion. "I do not know the politics of these gentlemen,” said Mr. Gompers, “and I am not interested in that, it ip their records that count.” It is in keeping with the declarations of the Democratic party, that its Indiana Representatives in Congress were thus proved by theirxieeds to have lived up to their promises while the only two men of the thirteen who were tagged as opposed to labor were the two Republican members of the delegation. A comparison of the labor records of John W. Kern, Democratic nominee for United States Senator, and Senator Albert J. Beveridge, contained in “An Address to Workingmen,” prepared by John J. Keegan, president of the Indianapolis Machinists’ Union, and signed by eight other prominent labor leaders, discloses the fact that Mr. Kern is a man of deeds when it comes to aiding and defending the cause of organized labor, while Senator Beveridge has little to show but promises. Labor unions got their right to live in Indiana through the assistance of Mr. Kern. It was Mr. Kern who secured the passage in the State Senate of a bill in 1893, to “protect employes and guarantee their right to belong to labor organizations and prescribing penalties for the violation thereof.” It was Mr. Kern who, as a member of the State Senate in 1893, championed and aided in securing the passage of the child labor bill which had been demanded by organized labor. It was Mr. Kern, who in the same year, secured the passage of the first employers’ liability law exacted in Indiana.
