Entire paragraphs are lit up with de
scriptions of the wedding decorations,
the gowns of bride and bridesmaids
even to the bouquets the maids are to
carry. The groom gets just one line
descriptive of his toilet.
You see the groom is a "mere man.'
For days la advance and after the wedding the society columns tell of the bride's trousseau, the way her hair
is dressed, lingerie, veil, et cetera, but who gives a single thought to the
groom's bridal regalia?
The groom's hair is cmbed just as
ne combs it every day. The collar he wears will be of the same style he Is accustomed to wear. His trousers will wear the usual crease; a little more
expanse of shirt bosom; no color.

Senator Beverldgej "We worked hard and without a single break in our ranks for Indiana's candidate and went down with our flag flying. But we are republicans and will work as hard for the ticket as if our own man had won.
Every republican in Indiana should get to work and keep at work until the whole ticket is elected. We were loyal to Mr. Fairbanks, but now that the work is over we feel that the convention made no mistake."
Senator Hcmenwayt "I .am .sure .1

and therefore disappointed, the friends of the vice president not only In Indiana but elsewhere, will devote their time from now until election to bring

president without a doubt."
James E. Watson i "Mr. .Taft .will
make a good candidate. I earnestly believed In the nomination of Mr. Fairbanks,, but the republican party need not be ashamed of its nominee. He is
big of brain and big of body; he will
make a big candidate, and, when elected, a big president."

Governor Hanly: "I regard Mr. Taft as an able man." William L. Taylor: "Mr. Taft is perfectly satisfactory to the republicans of Indiana and he will carry the state by a safe plurality. He will grow every day from now until the election."
GeorKe T. Dinwiddle, vice chairman of the state committee: "I see no reason why Mr. Taft will not carry Indiana. The Roosevelt sentiment is very strong in the state and the nominee is the exponent of the administration's politics." James ninghnm: "The republicans of Indiana went to the national convention in good faith and the endorsement of that convention is all Mr. Taft needs in Indiana." Congressman Overwtreeti "Next to Vice President Fairbanks I regard Taft as the strongest man that could have been nominated. He is an Intellectual giant, big brained and big hearted." C. II.
