Cannon owes .Judge Crumpacker something for his ardant support of the past, when republican, insurgents were trying to get his (Cannon’s) hide. X«>w Mr. Cannon proposes tb pav back the debt by sending Jim Watson into the Tenth District to help the Judge out. Anti yet the Judge is trying to make the peo pie believe that he is done With Cannon. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. In 1503. while serving as congressman from this district. Mr. Cruntpacker defended the notorious bucket shop concern. Kinsey and Co., not on the basis of their innocence, but because the prosecutors, the Chicago Board of Trade, let its members gamble. Justice decided years ago that she would not hear the complaints of one , party against another when they are both guilty, and in this campaign Mr. Crumpacker has only one hope test of re-election', that of getting the people to become afraid of the personal character of Mr. Petersons’ former law practice* On all moral question*

as i between man and man. Mr. Cnufhpacker knows that Mr. Peterson lias, hint “skinned a mile,” as the boys say. and surely the people of/ this district will not let a man* whA4ias~ been a public Officer and doing at the same time all the 1 things he is cha ging his •pponent with dbing. get any credit for his attacks upon his Opponent. Politically. Mr. Crumpacker has betrayed his district. .Morally he has betrayed himself by selfishness. Let him rest in oblivion. His hands are not clean.

NEW NATIONALISM.

Very few persons in the transactions of every-day life -top to analyze the motives by which their actions are - prompted, nor is it ordinarily desirable to <!■> so. If a marl has truly adopted for his guidance fundamental principles of justice, truth .kindness and devotion to duty, he will come to act- spontaneously and ; almost uncoh-ciously in accordance with the principles : but the principles must be there, deeply imbeded and genuinely embraced and assimilated. Otherwise his action will be determined by passing whim*. mere selfish preference*. the dictates of slothfulness. or the suggestion of the first man -he happens to meet. There are, of course, minor matters to be decided in which no question of principle is involved, and Occasions arise when before deciding on a course <:d action it is necessary to consider carefully whether it will conform to his principles. Much the same conditions exist in the field of political action as in the sphere of every-day life. Manv voters have no political principles, but cast their ballots from prejudice, personal preference. mere party association, or. too often, as a matter of bargain and sale, or to oblige a friend. In very many elections it makelittle difference, for there is nothing Of real importance involved. But there come occasion? when it is vital to-the general welfare that the voters should possess principle.-, and be guided by them. Needless to say, the. .approaching election is one of those occasions, and every voter, especially those who are for the first time exercising the greatest privilege of citizenship, ought to consider carefully and fully comprehend the importance and significance and the possible result>>f what he is about to do. We a- a people hold the suffrage far too lightTv in esteem. It is a seri. us trust, on the proper discharge of which hang- < nr destine a- a people. -(hrr father-, with infinite toil ami sacrifice, and with what lias come to be regarded a- almost superhuman wisdom, devised and established for us a form of government which, more than any other that has ever existed., has contributed to human happiness and progress. The main purpose thev had in view, besides providing for the general defense and -ecuring domestic tranquility, was to put forever beyond question the securing of individual liberty and rights, and. while leaving all local matter- wholly to the states'. to establish a gen eral government with enumerated [lowers indisputable in its -phere. They did not intend to set up a pure democracy or ochlocracy. The government they created was representative all the way throughout. Its powers were carefully distributed among the Legislative. Executive and Judicial Departments, and provision was made for their independence and co-ordination. The function of the Executive was expressely confined to comniand of the military, appointments to office and the enforcement of the laws, for all history had taught that danger to liberty almost invariably springs from irresponsible and tyrannical executives. It was recognized by the makers of the constitution that the science of governmetTTlg.We ni fst difficult ot all sciences, re miring for its mastery and. succes-ful administration a high order of ability and careful training! These , simple general political principles ought to be as ..universally adopted American citizens as are principles guiding conduct and ought to result in the sarhe spontaneous action insuring their perpetuation and observance. W hile this can generally be depended on to guide the citizen aright, there come crises when he should make certain, by referring back to 'first principles. that he is not going to violate them, and such crises is at hand The young should be thoroughly'grounded in them.

and every first voter should ask himself first of all whether the ballot he is about tp past is calculated to conserve and further them. -y : There is on foot a powerful and dangerous movement to subvert and overturn them. tween the co-ordinate departIt destroy? the relation bements. lodging substantially all i power 'with the executive, subjects all officials to removal at t:e whim of the multitude, does a wav wholly with our represen-i ‘.afive* system. belittles the judiciary. and. at a time when, within ten years, ten million for-j eigner.-. mostly ignorant, have been injected into our citizen-j ship, proposes to submit to the ' [direct action of the populace alii intricate questions of statecraft, i It invldes property rights by limiting accommodation, and, by [ prescribing how a man may make his money and how he must: -pend it. and. under a plea of efficiency. transfers all the powers reserved to the -tales to the General Government. It is the duty of good citizens to resist dangerous tendencies. Everv new voter deaf to the frothy declamation which Urges the abandonment of the constitution and the sacrifice of principles in order to speedily put in effect some untested policy with no foundation in sound oolit’cal philosophy, and to forward such rchemes for personal aggrandizement. 'shotfid make it his first object to so cast hi- vote as. if p»-sible. to aid in giving to this propoganda a lasting quietus.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE CRUMPACKER MACHINE:

The insurgent movement in the republican rank- is tine to one iking more than all others, ana while there is far more than one objective ifi the widespread movemeijX th’ s Qne i-' the real founda tion of insurgency. That is corrupt bossism. And in that line we wish to refer to the Congress’:nan from the Tenth District <>f Indiana, Ed Crumpacker. The Xational delegate convention held at Rensselaer has not been so long ago that the people of this district have forgotten it. While the Congressman from the Tenth was not personally there, hi- henchmen were cared for by hi* brother who directed in his behalf. The results of that convention will also be remembered.

Fifty postmaster delegates were the machine which held the convention to its desires. Two National delegates were t > be chosen, of which Will R. Wood. • Lafayette and George Ade of drv- .k. were ’ avowed candidates; When the nomination* were made the Cyumpacker machine threw <i->wn the dirty -mit of p< Ikies and showed tip its hideous and snarling race. In oppo-iti n to, Wood t’te Crumpacker machine put up the notorious Kit Sills, of Monticello, a slap in the face.of decent politics for the Tenth district. anti not only that, at the he. est <-f the political wolves thev elected Sills and threw down ,\ ■ <;d,. who. in the heat "f pas- < >n took the floor of the con- ❖ vention hall and told them some plain tacts about the political history of the notorious Crumpacker machine in this district. George Ade of Brook, was a candidate tor the second Xational delegate. For him the wolves reserved the .-ante dose, but even the friends>f Crumpacker rose up and in plain language stated that titey would not stand for this, even if trumpacker was the opposing candidate, but had it been other that the popular Geo. Ade. he would have received the bitter dose handed out to Wood, and ‘then only the determined stand taken by his many friends saved him from the same humiliation of defeat. This bunch represented the work of Crumpacker in "Congress” an<| were on the pay roll of the government and were there as a political machine to ’ the bidding of their master, regardless of what the decent element of the party wanted. Xow, Crumpacker has not a word to say that the decent element of his own party are working for his downfall. It is to d ovn this rotten bossism that has born the insnrgefit wing of the Republican party, and if you will review the last'few years of the Tenth district you will Be densely ignorant about politics if vou can n<ot tell where the master hand rests that has dictated its political life, and, as in the case of the nomination of the .Xational delegates, if fair means will not do, the rottehest methods of political chicanery- will be the resort. —Brook Reporter.

CRUMPACKER THE FRIEND OF BUCKET SHOP

Defended A Gambling Concern In Highest Courts Six Short Years Ago. HE CANNOT DENY ACCUSATION Records Convict Him of Having Taken Corporation Employment While in Congress. Indianapolis. IndL October 20. —T he campaign in the Tenth district is attracting - me attentkm here, and among the lawyers who practice in the L'nited States courts there is considerable of amu-ement over the “corporation lawyer ’ and “Roby race track " issue by Congressman Crumpacker to save his hide, whichrejxjrts drifting into the state caj)it'?l seems tc» indicatehis /OfW pynent, John B. I’eter->n. is about to hang on the fence. Although a congressman and drawing a handsome sa’ary Judge Crumpacker has not been particularly shy when it came to either corporation* ,-r gambling schemes. What causes a smile to spread over the features of hi- old friends here is the rememi b rance of how ably the Judge champh <ned the cause of the defunct L. A. Kinsey company. \ The. L- A. ■ Kinsey Coration, was organized umfer the law- of Indiana and maintained an < >ffice at Shelbyville. Ander--on. Alexandria. Elwopd, PeruMuncie. Marion Greensburg and Tipton. This concern was organized for the purjxoe of making trades in grain, stocks, bonds 'and other securities, according to i articles of the c jrp»>rat ; n. 1 This corporation 'did a bucket -hop business pure and simple. It held no seat upon the Chicago Lfi >ard of Trade and when it could not secure market quotations in a legitimate manner it "wrongfully and stealth fully received stealing them in any manner that could be contrived. and even, perhaps: resorted t< > wire tapping in order to continue its nefari-.«us business. The Chicago B&urd of Trade by its attorney*. Henry S. Robbins and D. P. Williams, brought suit against 'the L. A. Kinsey Co., asking damages and praying for a perpetual injunction against the defendant bucket shop. The action was brought in the. Circuit conn of the United States for' the district of Indiana, presided over by Albert B. Arydersou. at Indianapolis, and was docketed at No. 10.071 chancery. The complaint was filed March 25. 1902. and the defendants employed every kn* wn means to postpone the trial as long as pos-. siblc. The L. A. Kinsey Ccu a corporation. Louis A. Kinsey. Frank M. Ketcham. John S Roberts, Martin A. Laskey. James H. Dunn.- Robert B. Dungan <bt aL. forty-two persons in all. were marie defendants. The complaint was a lengthy one and among other allegations it wa- -set t rth that a bucket shop cannot exist or conduct business with «ut receiving continnofis quotatious of prices on the exchange, of the Chicago Board of Trade. That the operation .of bucket -hops were contrary to the laws of Illinois. That the defendants received. wrongfully and st-ealth-lully. quotations and prayed that damages be, awarded and a per. petual injunction issue. It was at this point that E-igar D, Crumpacker. congressman, rushed home from Washington to give them the advantage of his knowledge of ■ how t evade the law and continue their nefarious bu-iriess. The legal the Kinsey Co_. embraced a great arrav of legal talent. These attorney* were E. D. CRUM PACKER, Peter Crumpacker. Jacob J. Kern. Chas. D. Pullen. John' A. Brown. .X. G. Smith and Bernard Korbley. As proving the illigitimate mean* employed by the defendants in/ securing quotations the plaintiff filed* affidavits of C. M. Baker, superintendent of the Postal Telegraph Co.. F. E. Crawford. superintehdant of the Cleveland Telegraph, Go., and John F. Morgan superintendant of the Western Union Telegraph Co. in which thev -took oath that ■J ' - ■ • ...

these concetn* did not Aintish ! quotations t?o the Kinsey bucket stop after August but in spite of this the bucket shop went merrily al mg in the work of -'■earing- *i> lambs until finally out out c»f business. -The action in ’he Indiana court jesulted in a verdict for the bucket shop people and they were given j udgmeht for costs and the complaint dismissed for want of equity. ■ (Tn September 23. 1903. the plaintiff perfected an appeal to the U. S. Circuit court of Appeals for the Seventh district, in Chicago. In this court it is case No. 1032. The L. A. Kinsey Co., was cited to appear within thirty days and service on the summons was accepted bv E. D. CRUMPACKER. C. D. Fuller, S. N. Chambers. Bernard Korbley and Alonzo Greene Smith, of counsel for the defendants. / ..7 . In the hearing on December 18. 1903, the bucket shop attorneys filed a brief of 130 pages, with an appendix to the brief of 101 pages, a total of 240 printed page* of alleged reasons why their outlaw clients should be permitted t > remain in business. Congressman Crumpacker, h* -wever. was not satisfied that they had done all that was pos -ible to save their bacon and on December 14. 1903. he filed a -pecial brie; and argument of thirty-five page* for his clients in which he said. “While I fully concur in the views advanced by my learned associates, I desire to submit some individual observations.” ‘ The sum total of Judge Crumpacker’s argument \ra* on the basis, set out by him “A clean cauSe of action in unclean handwill find no standing in a court • i equity." and made no pretense that his clients were innocent. His line of argument however would be a good defense for a gang of train robbers, who would set up the plea that the road was charging excessive freight rates. The district court, however, denied Judge Crumpackeris logic and entered a decree against the bucket shop people. all of which details cause the lawyers to -mile when they hear i the Judge's attack on his opponent.

E. D. Crumpacker and Will Wood will speik at Freeland Park next Thursday ar 7:30 p. m.—Fowler Leader. '

Ye Gods ! Those who attended the district national convention held here two years ago and recall Senator Wood's 'Scathing denunciation of Crumpacker and the machine which he had built up in this-district of postmasters and revenue agents and the hisses from different parts of the hall which greeted his remarks, and Wood’s hot reply to them that he “had heard the hisses of snakes before and they didn't scare him ne particle.” will see that the Crumpacker machine is in a bad way > r it would not have made peace with W ill Wood.
