EFFECTS OF REPUBLICAN

THE MACHINERY SET IN MOTION by Republican County Chairman F. Richard Schaaf is beginning to have its effect and the result of the splendid organization which he has effected is potent on all sides. The activity in the various parts of North and Calumet townships, which is to be increased from now on until it is climaxed on election day is most encouraging. It

shows that the republicans will leave

publican majority in Lake county, which will surprise the other counties in the district. The republican meetings that have been held so far have been splendid meetings. The enthusiasm manifested at the Crumpacker meeting at Whiting has never been equalled there, and the party leaders are much gratified at the' result. Indeed, from all parts of the county the reports that come to County Chairman Schaaf satisfy him that remarkable

progress has been made. In contrast to the republican activity, the democrats have done very little and there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among

the democrats at the lack of spirit which their party leaders are mani testing. : - NEW STANDARDS OF EDUCATION.

THAT THERE ARE NEW STANDARDS of education coming into vogue with the' passing of the years is becoming more and more evident every dav. Elmer E. Brown, United States commissioner of education,

very pertinently has said:

"Not only our own national development, but, more particularly, our closer touch with the rest of the world has shown us that our standards have been pitched too low. This is true, both on the side of knowledge and on the side of skill, in teaching. In our new position in the world it is not enough that we win patronizing approval of our approval of our science, and of our school instruction, from the older culture nations. That new position requires of us that we do our full part in determining what

the world-standard shall be, both in

tice. This is particularly dimcuit when hall our teaching rorce is a rope of sand, and when the profitable pursuits of applied science are luring our

scientists away from their laboratories." ' ; " TAFTWARD, THE STRAWS ARE BLOWING.

ONE BY ONE THE INDEPENDENT press of the United States is beginning to come Into the Taf t fold. The trend of independent political opinion goes out toward the republican presidential candidate. Following

the declaration of The Times for Mr. lieve in his superior qualifications as

field Republican's recent declaration is Mr. Taft's favor Is another sign of the times that is of widespread significance. Colonel T. W. Higginson, a former ardent supporter of Mr. Bryan, now prefers Mr. Taft because he believes that his presidential capacities are larger. It is signficant that a great many noted men are veering around to confidence in Mr. Taft's ability to deal with large problems at a critical time in national history because they have studied. Mr. Taft's record. The known is preferred to the

unknown. Taft is proved; Bryan is problematical. REGRET THAT JUDGE TORRISON IS TRANSFERRED.

IN POLITICS Congressman Crumpacker arrived in Hammond yesterday afternoon for the purpose of going to Whiting to speak at the political rally which was held there last Friday evening. When the question of getting Mr. Crumpacker over to Whiting, without having him endure the hardships of a tiresome journey by street car, arose, the party members at the headquarters sought out some of the staunch republicans who had automobiles and asked them to take the congressman to Whiting in their machines. It so happened that all of the re publican automobiles were out of com mission as a result of tire trouble or some other trouble, and finally Johnny Fitzgerald was got on the phone. "Congressman Crumpacker's in town; how would you, as a good democrat, like to take a republican congressman to Whiting to make a political speech," said the man at the phone. "i will be glad to. do it," said Fitz gerald. "Congressman Crumpacker is the biggest man in the region. He is a friend of Hammond and it would be beneath his dignity to go to even a republican political meeting on a street car. I'll call Sam and see that he is taken over in my car." It was not long before Fitzgerald machine was driven up in front of the Hotel Majestic and Congressman Crumpacker and several other Hammond politicians climbed Into it and started off to the political rally at Whiting. Judge McMahon and Joe Conroy, two staunch democrats, were standing in front of the hotel and looked on with amazement. Finally Conroy said: "Why, I thought Fitzgerald was a democrat," Fitzgerald laughed, and then, in a more serious vein explained that although he Is a democrat he is primarily for the man.

Because of the widespread discussion of Governor Hughes candidacy for. renomination much speculation and Interest centers in the man the democrats will name to lead their fight In the Empire State. Politicians everywhere await with interest the results of the two state conventions which unquestionably will have much bearing on the national' campaign. The men most prominently mentioned for the democratic nomination are Lieutentar.t Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, W. Caryl Ely of Buffalo, Judge William J. Gaynor and Edward M, Shepard of New York City.

This Week's

Washington, D. C, Sept. 12. The coming week promises to be well filled with political events of interest and importance. During the early part of the week public, attention will be centered on the state of New York, where the republicans and democrats will both hold their state conventions for the nomination of candidates for governor and other officers. The multiplicity of democratic possibilities for the governorship and the bitter light in the republican ranks over the proposed renomination of Governor Hughes give promise of lively gatherings at Rochester and Saratoga Springs, where the conventions of the democrats and the republicans, respectively, are to meet. Maine will be in limelight Monday, when the state election will be held for governor, representatives in congress and minor officers. This being a presidential year, and the efforts of the campaign managers to make an impressive showing having been exerted in assigning speakers of national prominence to lend their aid in the Pine Tree state, the returns will be scanned with interest. Arkansas also holds a state election on Monday, but as the contests were all settled in the democratic primary, held last spring, the voting is of a purely perfunctory character. According to present plans Judge Taft will remain in Cincinnati during

the week, though he is in receipt of numerous invitations to speak in various cities in Ohio, Indiana and neighboring states. Mr. Bryan is scheduled to speak on Monday in Baltimore, on Tuesday in Wilmington, on Wednesday in Rochester; on Thursday and Friday in New York City; on Saturday in Porvidence, returning to spend Sunday in New York City. Of lesser interest in the field of politics will be the republican state nominating conventions in Montana and New Hampshire and the democratic state convention in Connecticut. Republicans of New England are to unite in holding a monster barbecue next Tuesday at Point of Pines, near Boston. The governors of several states are to attend and speakers of national prominence will be heard in support of the national ticket. Irish-American residents of New York and vicinity are preparing a monster welcome for John Redmon and Joseph Devlin, members of parliament and leaders in Ireland's struggle for independence, when they arrive on the Oceanic next Wednesday. The Irish leaders will be heard at public meetings in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and other large cities. The large conventions scheduled for the week include the gatherings of the National Retail Druggists' association at Atlantic City, the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents at Seattle, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire and Englnenien at Columbus, O., the National Industrial Traffic league at St. Louis, the, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners at Salt Lake City, the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Fitters, Steam Fitters' Healpers at Indianapolis, and the Canadian Manufacturers' association at Montreal.

BRYAN WANTFD HEARST EDITOR SAYS MiliRASKAIN OFFhRED TO TRADE 1912 SUPPORT FOR 1908

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11. The notification of John Temple Graves of his nomination for vioe president on the independence league ticket today gave William R.4 Hearst an opportunity to make a bitter attack upon William J. Bryan. He also took a rap at the men who are running the Bryan campaign, paying especial attention to Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. Mr. Hearst declared the Nebraskan had made a promise to support him in the next campaign is given the support of the Hearst string of papers during the present fight. Flays Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma. Among other things, Mr. Hearst :iad these ideas to express: "Look at this man Haskell, whom Bryan made chairman of his committee on platform and treasurer of his campaign fund. This man Haskell, known as a political paymaster of the Standard Oil, is asked by Mr. Bryan first to make a platform the Standard Oil will approve of, then to collect from the Standard Oil the material expression Of its approval. "Mr. Bryan has hauled down his flag and surrendered. Where in all of Mr. Bryan's vacillating course, with its ignominous conclusions, could I find an inspiration for further devotion or opportunity for honorable approval? I have come to regard Mr. Bryan as a tickster, a trimmer, and a traitor. "Mr. Bryan alleges I am angry at him because he did not support me for the presidency at St. Louis four years ago. That is not true. If Mr.

Bryan thought I was not the most

But if Mr. Bryan thought I was not the proper candidate he should have approached me in New York four months ago with a proposition to support me in the next campaign if I would support him in this campaign." Htsgen Calls Bryan Hypocrite. Thomas L. Hisgen, the party's nominee for president, was but little less harsh in his statements. He said concerning the old parties: "The republicans are frankly against the trial by jury in injunction cases. The democrats have a plank on that question that means nothing and waa meant to mean nothing. They used to say 'no injunctions,' but now that Bryan has seen a new light, they say, 'no injunctions, except.' "The hypocrisy of Mr. Bryan and his labor pretensions have been exposed by Mr. Hearst, in which .he showed by af fidavits that Bryan called organized laborers public beggars and that he put in charge of the financial end of his campaign a man in Governor Haskell who denounced labor organizations as being a form of contemptible fanatic ism."
