MR. WATSON HERE TOMORROW NIGHT. snsanansansnsBBaBsai JAMES E. WATSON, CANDIDATE for governor of Indiana, strenuous as President Roosevelt himself, -will shift the political panorama to Hammond tomorrow night, in what the republicans feel confident will be the biggest politicar meeting held In the city in years. As a man who has been pictured as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by the brewery organs all over the state, a large crowd of voters will undoubtedly want to hear what Mr. Watson has to say for himself and for the republican party. . We predict they will not be disappointedWe predict that with sledge-hammer blows Mr. Watson will give them something to think about. When Mark Hanna was reviled during the campaigns past, he was always delighted to show himself to audiences as a man who no horns. , Mr. Watson, who has been almost as much grossly maligned in . Indiana, will be glad to show the voters that he is a white man, sans horns, sans forked tall and sans uplifted eyebrows. If you are prejudiced against Mr. Watson to begin with, go and hear him - anyway. No one will force you to change your opinions. You have a perfeet right to them;7"you deserve respect for having a mind of your own, but go and hear Mr. Watson speak to you on the Issues of the campaign. If he isn't afraid to come to Hammond, which the democrats say Is running over with his enemies, you shouldn't be afraid to come out and hear Mm. It will be a picturesque campaign meeting and the issues of the state and national campaign will be" discussed thoroughly. You may rely on Mr. Watson to speak out in meeting- He will hit right out from the shoulder. With him will be Hon. James K. Garfield, President Roosevelt's secretary of the interior and son of the martyred President Garfield. He will have something to say to you that will interest you. If you feel that you don't care to hear them, come out and hear the Old Shady quartette. They will entertain you. If you don't care to hear them come out . and see the parade do that much. THERE IS NO GROUND FOR MISUNDERSTANDING, t COULD ANYTHING BE MORE specific or plainer than the position of the republican party, as it is exemplified by James E. Watson, candidate for governor, when he says: "I desire that no one shall mistake my position on this ques tion for I certainly have no intention of deceiving any voter in Indiana on either this or any other proposition. In order that no one may mistake our position on this proposition, I desire to say that our platform does not declare for prohibition. The republican party is not a prohibition party. Prohibition means the prevention of the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage within the borders of a state. Local option means that the people in a county shall determine for themselves what they shall do with reference to the business. - Homogenous populations, within specific limits, residing together and doing business together, may thus determine what they shall do on this subject, and the republican party pledges itself to provide such machinery by law as to enable said people to fix the status of the saloon in their midst " RUNNING AGAINST MILLIONS OF REPUBLICANS.

"IT SEEMS THAT I AM RUNNING against two republicans instead of one," said Mr. Bryan in Buffalo.

The remark followed the publication of President Roosevelt's letter to

Congressman McKinley of Illinois. Mr- Bryan is mistaken again.

He is running against some seven or eight million republicans, his fellow-Americans, who are convinced that be is not what he claims to be, heir to the Roosevelt policies and who believe that the realization of his ambition would be bad for all of them and a body blow to national progress

and prosperity. - ,

THERE WILL DOUBTLESS be more letters; more speeches; more crushing pile driving recriminations. Anything may happen; but a good deal must happen before the democratic party has pulled itself out of the Haskellian bog into which Mr. Bryan lead it. And the Peerless one made

made a bad blunder when he claimed cies. It did you no good Mr. Bryan to

i By EDWIN . NYE. Copyright, 1908, fey Edwin A. Nys. THE BAD BACHELOR. Some bachelors appear anxious to offer excuses for their bleak and barren existence. They deplore their lost estate. Others, It seems, glory In their bachelorhood. They are bachelors by malice prepense. Of this latter are those who participated in a bachelors' parade recently In Chicago. They -wore badges thus: None That I Love More Than Myself. 4- : -A Appropriately enough, these badges were of a yellow color. The sentiment is an expression of raw selfishness. It is a worse selfishness than that of the legendary old party who prayed: O Lord, bless me and my wife. My son John and 'his wife Us four and no more. Who loves no one better than himself loves a mighty selfish Individual and lives in a very small circle. "Single blessedness" affords but a narrow range. The confirmed bachelor lives an abnormal life. Marriage is more than nature's plan for the propagation of the species. It affords a wider growth, wider experiences, wider happiness. The obstinate bachelor says: "Look at the divorce courts. Marriage is a failure." Or, "Marriage is a lottery. I cannot afford to take the risk." Marriage is not a failure, and he who says so might as well point to the hospitals and declare human life a failure as to point to the divorce courts for proof of his assertion.' To be sure, the bachelor may have real excuses. Possibly the right party has not yet appeared on the horizon of his hopes, though she may live only next door Or he may have dependent relatives and cannot afford matrimony. Or there may be a lack of health. But The healthy, foot loose celibate coea too far when he glories in his bachelor hood and confesses that he loves him self too well to marry. He puts himself down as a no account member of the human rac declared unconstitutional. " THIS IS MY 51ST BIRTHDAY. James A.

For President WILLIAM H. TAFT

i " He is aa strong as he is gentle. His reputation la simply spotless. In all the agitation of a heated campaign for the greatest office la the world, no one has ventured to Intimate a doubt of the absolute honesty of this mas who has been before the country for a quarter of a century. Nor can any one successfully dispute the simple proposition that in the whole history of the United States no one was ever named for the presidency who vraa so fitted by nature, by training and by experience for the duties, dignities and responsibilities of that unique office CHARLES HOPKINS. In "The Independent," UP AND DOWN EARNINGS HAVE DECREASED. The Monon earned in the third week of September' $111,965, a decrease of $13,577.

The senate, while in a jocular mood yesterday conducted a "beauty contest" which occupied more or less of the morning session. A likeness of Senator Statsenburg of Floyd county in yesterday morning's Star suggested the contest. WOULD ANNUL FRANCHISE. The city council of Gas City has in structed Its attorney to begin action ; to anul the franchise of the Indiana Union Traction company because the company has failed to maintain a 30mlnute schedule for Its cars between Marion and Gas City as provided for by the franchise MONON ENGINES BEST. Engine 301, which hauls the night passenger train of the Monon between Indianapolis and Chicago, Is considered one of the best passenger engines which runs into the Union station.

DICKEY IS WHAT WE WOULD IN SPORTING PARLANCE CALL A "DICK." A New One For Wine. Why are women like the seasons? Answer: Because men are never satisfled with them, no matter what kind they get. 4 IN POLITICS One of the regrets that the republicans of Lake county have is that Attorney D. E. Boone will not be able to speak during the campaign, unless he gets a great deal better. Mr. Boone is ill as a result of an auto accident and the republican county central committee has been besieged with applications from the country asking that Mr. Boone be sent to them to speak.
