SEES 1912 LANDSLIDE.

Harmon Declares Elections Indicate Democratic Victory in National Fight. Columbus, Ohio. Nov. B. Basing his opinion upon the results in Massachusetts, Kentucky and Ohio and other joints where democratic candidates were elected yesterday, Governor Judson Hannon today predicted a national democratic landslide next year. “The results of those elections have pleased me very much," he said, *• "and I consider them a forecast of what is to come next year. It is the strongest indorsement of democracy that has been tendered by voters in recent years. "Signs of victory for the democratic party are evident everywhere. Next year I predict that this party will win the national offices, including the presidency." Complete returns for mayor at the election in Cincinnati show that Henry T. Hunt, democrat, received a plurality of 3.298. With Hunt every man on the democratic ticket has been elected.

POOR MANAGEMENT

Of Orphan’s Home Seems Due to J. L. Peetz, Former Editor of Monon News. ' The state board of charities investigated the Hadley home for orphan children, at Hadley, Hendricks county, a few days ago and revoked the license of the Children's Home Society of Indiana for conducting such a home. The conditions found there were something fierce, to use a slang expression, and it was shown that while over $9,000 had been collected for the home in the last T l /* months, one-half of this sum had been paid for salaries alone, including the Indianapolis office. While there .were no charges of real cruelty towards the inmates, the sanitary conditions were unspeakable and the 72 children were crowded into quarters fitted to accommodoate about half that number, ill fed, half clothed, neglected and dirty.

J. L. Peetz, formerly editor of the Monon News, a "lame duck” let out as state statistician by the last democratic landslide in Indiana, was made superintendent of the society and the conditions complained of seem to have grown up under his administration. He has an office in the Law building in Indianapolis, where his wife who was his chief deputy in the state statistician’s office, is his assistant. Peetz placed a new man in charge of the home after he became superintendent of the society, and his inexperience in such work did not fit him or his wife for the custodianship of .the home.

MEMORIAL SHRINE ON LINCOLN FARM

Martyred President Honored at His Birthplace. ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT TAFT Humble Abode from Which Sprang the Negro’s Great Emancipator Is Re-Erected Upon Original Site and Dedicated to Posterity.

Hodgenville, Ky„ Not. 10. President Taft paid homage to the groat soul of his predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, while standing beside the crude, unlighted, mud-caulked cabin Which was the birthplace of Lincoln, i. The Lincoln memorial building, the corner stone of which was laid two years ago at the centenary celebration of the great emancipator’s birth, was dedicated. The president came out from Louisville by special train to this town, which is some three miles south of the Lincoln farm. A hilly, ill-kept road winds over the hills to the farm and the president was driven the distance in a carriage especially imported from Louisville for the occasion. A part of his party and the host of visitors followed in lihe, sitting on planks or cane chairs set in farm wagons, or, if lucky, in phaetons, mule drawn...- - ■ The memorial building is atop a hilL The president visited the cabin. He stopped to pass through the little doorway and walked about the dingy interior, which more accurately than the idea of the .manger, accentuated the humble state and primevality of the occupants. It has one room, a small loft, an outside chimney and a huge fire place ,

At the foot of the hill where the cabin stands and north from it is the spring which prompted Thomas Lincoln to choose that site for his home, when he brought Nancy Hanks to the frontier. Broad granite stairs are built now where the path to the spring then lay. Troops flanked the stairs, standing at attention as President Taft walked down the steps to the spring. With him were Governor Willson of Kentucky and Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, who is president of the Lincoln farm; Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Bradley of Kentucky. The audience mased up the hill side to the building and stood bare headed in the rain while Rabbi H. C. Enlow of Louisville pronounced the invocation. President Taft made the address of the occasion. The benediction was spoken by Bishop Thomas S. Byrne of the Roman Catholic diocese of Nashville, Tenn. There Were a great many blue and gray veterans in uniforms in the crowd. From the surrounding country also a good representation of old negroes had tramped in The president left Hodgenville for Nashville at 3 p. m.

HEARS OF TWO “JOKES”

Lorimer investigating Committee Is Entertained. Narrative of “Plot for Hopkins” to Enliven the Deadlock Astonishes U. S. Senators. ■■■■ 1 ' Chicago, Nov. 10. —Two jokes figured in the Lorimer inquiry before the United States investigating cornin'ttee. One was revealed in the testimony of Former Representative Walter A. lantz of LaGrange, a Tippit Democrat, who voted for Senator Lorimer. Mr. Lantz testified to a suggestion he said had been made to him by John Corwin, several years ago a legislative correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and now United States special customs agent at Baltimore, that the late Robert W. Patterson, who was publisher of the Chicago Tribune, might be elected senator. Mr. Lantz, in a rigid examination, said that he considered some of the remarks which he attributed to Mr. Corwin as “a joke.” Mr, Corwin said at Baltimore that he never made such a statement to Mr. Lantz. He said he did not represent the Tribune when in Springfield in 1909 and never knew that Mr. Patterson was a candidate for the senate. A phase of the proceedings which caused the members of the committee to sit back in astonishment was the testimony of John H. DeWolf of Canton, a former Democratic representative, who told them he believed a joke perpetrated by himself and half a dozen other legislators was the basis of the much investigated alleged plot to purchase seventeen Democratic votes for Albert J. Hopkins. The motive for th* joke Mr. Lantz testified, was “to get some of Roger Sullivan’s big black cigars.”
