In the event that Hon. John B. . Petergon will not accept the democratic rumination for congress from this disu'-ict again this year, Mayor George R., Durgan is being spoken of as a promising candidate. We are told, however, that Mr. Peterson assured some of the Jasper county delegates, to the state convention, who interviewed him and urged his again accepting the nomiantion, that he would accept same if the people thought he was the strongest candidate that could be named, and that he, would go out and make a

strong fight for election. We believe either Mr. Peterson or Mayor Durghn would be acceptable to the democrats of Jasper county, but in view of the splendid race made by Mr. Peterson two years ago against tremendous odds, they feel that the outlook for success this time is brighter and they would like to see him trim Edgar Dean Crum* packer to a finish. , Hen. John B. Peterson, who made such a gallant and creditable fight for the people against (’rujnp. two years ago has ‘stated that he will not be a candidate again this year, but that he favors .Mayor George It. Durgan for the place. Probably ‘he people of t.he district are enough arou < T over the perfidy and doub tdealing of the corporation? serving Crump, put aiiiri tp his <>fticial career. And if M;y> or . Durgan was choseii in his place the people would have a real live representative in congress after their inteiCoi.-, instead of serving the trusts. Crump. has been safely anchored no v for-nearly a quarter of a ceil-; •i"y behind a mountainous republican majority ami because of that majority he could serve the trusts with impunity and > defy the people with impudence.—Tippecanoe County Democrat.

STANDING OF CANDIDATES.

Both the Roosevelt and Taft campaign • managers have issued statements showing ••their man" is a sure winner, but it is likely the result in Ohio, which held its primaries yesterday, will play some part in future statements of the standing of each. According to the generally accepted figures Taft had at the beginning of the present week 414 delegates: Roosevelt 375; Cummins 10; LaFollette 36: uninstructed 113. Some ot the delegates accredited to Tait, powever. are con- ' tested.. ’ . I The Taft vs. Roosevelt fight iff I Ohio has been very bitter and the i breach between the two candidates has been matertally widened. It would not be very surprising if. tn the interest of harmony, both v ere turned do wn and a dark horse carried off the prize- This would i.o doubt please Roosevelt almost as mucfli as to win the nomination himself—anything to beat Taft. On the democratic side. Clark leads with 302 delegates; Wilson has 191; Underwood 83; Marshall ,30: Harmon 9; uninstructed 159. At this., time it would seem that ■C hainp' Clark is by far the favorite In the democratic ' race. Wilson stock has. been on, the decline for some time, and it is. not believed he stands any more show than Governor Marshall, and nobody takes seriously the possibility of his nomination., :

IN DEFENSE OF REGISTRATION.

There Were “Kickers” On Australian Ballot Law Also. Rensselaer, May 20. Editor Democrat: Reading in your paper about A. W. Bitters .silly twaddle* penned on his registration blank, calls to mind a few reminiscences of other days. Editor Bitters is only one of a very numerous class who have always opposed a pure ballot and a fair count. Does he and his like wish to return to the old and corrupt methods of years ago? It was just suoh as Bitters that so violently assailed the Australian ballot. Many republicans in this county at the first election, under the present system, refused to vote. What honest man would now want ’to go back to the old plan? This registration is no new thing, no party matter. Republican states as well as democratic state have it—Ohio and Illinois for example. ? '■' ■■. - ■ ■ Under the law just changed, every two years a score or more voted here Who had ao interest .whatever in he management of the county. Tht-y would vote and no more would We she .or hear of them till T he next two years roiled around, taen here they were again, not to pay their taxes, but to vote and thereby save the country.” 1 ?.”Ob .7 _ ■’;ayi..j-.imi.e.-.? ■'This registration law may be needed in the big wicked cities, but in rural districts' -and,, among- the law-abiding people like rhe voters of Jasper county there is no need for any such regulations.” . j What have seen in Jasper county /election.-we? have. seen, and what ?we know ’“of 1 Jasper ■ county. election we know. j As> an example of the poliical purity and innocence of rural pat- ‘ riots we give 1 hi- little bit of his-; tory; Newton county once sen:

over here a negro to serve out jail sentence; his term of imprisonment expired a day or two before the election. Late in the evening 1 of the election, just before the clos-i ing of the. polls after the lamps were lit. up steps Newton’s negro.! accompanied by the Methodist minister. who came to identify his colored brother. The preacher solemnly raised his hand, thinking he, must swear the voter in, but Captain Chilcote, standing by, knowing 1 better, gently touched the uplifted arm and said, ‘you do not have to swear,” So, unchallenged, the negro voted. A registration law Would have prevented this crime and disgrace. The writer once saw in one ol our put townships a man and his family and household goods all aboard a wagon behind which were led “ two cows, moving along thaighway. He drove up in front of th ■ voting place and stopped. TL? vote-seekers immediately =et upon him and induced him to make an attempt ,to vote. He was on his way from an adjoining county, moving into this. He was challenged and questioned. He said he had not voted 1 before on that day and that everything he possessed on earth was hitched to and on the Wgon standing there. He was moving into a hut just a quarter mile down, the road (a fact that aid the members pi the board knew and to which fact the owner of the hut te.-tified.r There was no law to prevent his voting. The township ticket he voted carried by one majority. There we needed a registration law. Voting is too easy: is made too ’tight and trivial a matter. There not sufficient solemnity and consideration shown it. A VOTER

ANXIOUS ABOUT $5,000 ROLL.

Perjury Case Against T. B. Dean Will Not Be Dismissed with Mayor Knotts' Consent. Dismissal of the indictments against the Gary councilmen whose ca.-es were pending at Crown Point on charges of soliciting bribes in the Dean steam heating franchise proposition, will not reSull Jn the dismissal of the criminal charge of perjury which is pending against Thomas B. Dean nor wil it permit Sheriff Thonias Grant to return to Dean and his confederates the $5..000 which is alleged to have been given by Dean to Mayor Knotts and declared to have been found in his desk in the mayor's once by the deputy sheriffs whom Dean had stationed in the corridor of the city hall while he made the "plant” in the mayor's ■ desk. ■ ' Mayor Knotts stated ’ today that not only will he push the prosecution against Dean for perjurv, but he will see that Sheriff Grant retains the $5,000 until the real wners come into court and' state on oath who the roll ot money belongs to and how it was placed in the mayor’s desk. Mayor Knotts declares that he now -has, the whole inside story of the money transaction and how the •‘roll” was placed in his des*k. He also knows who furnished the money and all the circumstances surrounding the "plant” by which it was hoped to railroad him out °f office and into the penitentiary for the sole purpose of seizing the reins of the city government. , "I am now in possession of all. the inside facts in the conspiracy,” said Mayor today. ,"I know who furnished the money and I 1 now Loh it was placed in my desk. I want those men to go into the court and tell the truth about it. If they do not-tell the truth I will have them indicted for perjury and conspiracy.” The, men who furnished Dean with the money are becoming uneasy, it is declared, and are trying to make Sheriff Grant give it up to them without a fight in the courts which would expose their part in the

conspiracy. They have been ■to see Sheriff Grant several times within the last week and have been so importunate that Grant finallv werit to Attorney w. J. McAleer • of Hammond-who is one of Mayor Knotts' attorneys, and asked him’ to see the mayor and ask him if he might return the money to the men who are seeking i(. Atty. McAleer came to Gry yesterday morning and had a conference with the mayor on the subject. Mayor Knotts sent word to the sheriff that he would be held responsible for the safe keeping of che money until the rightful owners make clear their ownership in the courts and also te itify. to the truth concerning how it came to be found in Mayor Knotts' desk when he was arrested. Then Mayor Knotts will be ready to prefer changes of perjury -and conspiracy against them, he declares unless they tell the whole truth.’ Mayor Knotts declares he is armed not only with verbal but with documentary evidence relating to the 11 ansact ion and these facts are what 'he backers of Dean are trying to avoid by trying to secure the return of the money quietly. It was declared today that the ,ii mis.-al of the indictments against „the Gary councilmen was part of the scheme whereby it was hoped o secure the dismissal of the charges of perjury against Dean and also secure the return of the s. jhhi w;:hout going up against a fight ■ w filch might result in -some very unpleasant publicity. As a matter of fact the cases councilmen Were disbecause it was found that here was no evidence whatever upon . which to base a conviction. So ia.r as the prosecution against Dean is concerned the evidence against is a- matter of legal record and he cannot avoid it. Minor. Knotts said today that so far as ’h/ N concerned the case against Dean I will be pushed to. the bitter end and that it would result in disclosures' of the' mo-t sensational character.! —Gary Post. i

NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By Willam Pitt

Do not use any ill-formed eggs for hatching, nor any that are unnaturally >ong, or nearly round. ’ Keep your fowls on the same footing that you keep your cattle, and you will surely be rewarded. Most anyone can have a small flock and keep from eight to a dozen hens and feed on table scraps. Be sure the fenders are in position -n the farrowing pens to prevent the sows laying on the young pigs. Place the bee hives on string supports about eight inches from the ground to prevent dampness and cold. Gold/, raw winds make chapped teatg all the worse. Have a small jar of vaseline handy at milking time and use it

It costs a good deal of money to buy a satisfactory team. In most cases this can be avoided by the farmer raising his own. “It is hard for an empty sack to stand straight, but it is still harder for a lazy man to succeed in the daisy business.” ; 'i. i ■ •—. Every four years 1,000 pounds of rock phosphate is needed to keep up the phosphorous content of average corn belt soil. i An occasional colt or young horse to sell, even when one is not making a business of raising horses, is a help to any farmer. Get after the San Jose scale. What a melliferous name this little beast sails under! But cover him with Bordeaux all the same.

The time to plant grape cuttings is in early spring, as soon as the ground can be v orked. Slant the cuttings a little and leave only one bud above ground. If you are a beginner with sheep go slow until you hqve mastered the industry. As tn pdultrying or any other like business, experience is the safe, sure teacher. Neglected fruit trees are not only in eyesore, \but soon become so pest« 'nfested as to make them a menace to ruit growing in the whole neghborlocd. Better none at all than the aeglected kind. ' r , The New Jersey experiment station announces that Professor Halsted has succeeded in growing a seedless tomato. Not every fruit grown is seedless, plenty of them' containing from ten-to twenty seeds, but many o<h<~ - contain none at all and all a*- of < cellent flavor.

If the sheep are kept on the pastures too late, they will eat right down into the roots, and do more harm than the grass will do them good. The rich butter fat cows can be made more numerous only by careful Breeding, if y OU mate 'rich butter fat stock only the improvement will be rapid. There are 155,846 .colonies of bees in Illinois, valued at $487,733. Rees are owned on 29,741 farms in the state, or on 11.8 per cent, of all Illinois farms. It requires money to get out and buy good dairy cows, but it takes brains to raise them and the man who has worked for years in. building up a herd of fine dairy cows has a right to be proud of his achievements. Give your garden crops just the fertilizer they prefer. Remember that plants that furnish us with edible leaves or stalks flourish if given nitrogen; when the fruit, root, kernel or bulb, is the edible part dose with ashes, potash or phosphoric acid.
