J t WHAT IS THIS YEAR'S VINTAGE? Mv views are weU-knawn," says Mr. Bryan. Will the gentleman kiX gfve The vlntage-1896-1900-1908:? The friends S organl Wabor cannot forget that Bryan is the man who propofed to cut wages in two with the 50c dollar, and we have no assurance that he won't do it, if he is elected. J t ' "THERE IS A MUTINY IN HIS MIND." THE COUNTY IS FAMILIAR EVEN TO THE point of weariness with thsj that Mr. Bryan finding discreet abandonment of his dreams to his intestno longer urges the policies with which hi. name has been iden -fied in the past. Not a peep is heard from him concerning free sliver or antiimperialism, or initiative and referendum, or government ownership or other Bryan specialties. But all these things, it is said, are last year s bird nests. "Why should the anti-Bryan press," it is asked, "waste its time repeating an uncontradicted thing?" That in a measure ia not hard to answer Everyone knows what Bryan's past is. His own silence eloquently testifies that he realizes he was wrong. But Bryan's past is all we have to judge Bryan by. He has become more cautious, but his Ideas are Just as dengerous. as vague and Indefinite. He is fearful of committing himself about his past Of course he has many Bryanique ideas. Of them all, however, his banking scheme is intolerable. Mr. Bryan believes that If you have deposits in one bank and another bank fails, you should help to pay those who lost in the other bank He is In favor of tariff revision, but he doesn't say what kind. There are as many kinds of tariff revision as there are peas In a quart. He is against the trusts, so are we all, but Mr. Bryan is long on complaint and short on remedy. In short he is playing safe. He is like the man with a bobtail who is trying to run a bluff and who will let 'you see his hand after he gets the pot. ONLY MR. BRYAN WONT GET THE POT. . WOULD YOU SPLIT YOURTICKET FOR MARSHALL ?

The head of the state ticket two years ago gave 84,000 republican majority in Indiana. How could Marshall in his wildest dreams ever hope to win If he didn't think he could get republican votes. Marshall has said that the "worst of democracy is better than the best of republicanism." Are you, Mr. RenMiMn frmns- to vote for a democrat who tells you that? Marshall would

die before he would bolt his party

voting for him? Are you going to let the brewery party aupe you m mis way? Marshall thinks he is pulling the wool over your eyes Mr. Republican. Are you going to let him? The democrats know they can't elect Bryan. They are willing to trade him in Indiana for Taft, if you vote for Marshall. Are you going to split your ticket? 4 THE BREWERY OR THE PEOPLE. THE LINES BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG are strongly drawn in this campaign. ' Every man who has a family to raise, who believes in the sanctity of the home, in decency, in morality, in protecting the young from debasing influences, should bend every effort to see that the brewers, which are supporting the democratic ticket, are beaten and beaten badly. Now is the time to do it. Every man, every newspaper which stands for the policies of clean government, of decency and of government by the people of Indiana and not by the brewers of Chicago, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, should vote for the republican state tivket next Tuesday week. This is deserving of the attention of thinking men, of men who pay taxes, of men who refused to be bluffed and frightened by the millionaire brewery trust with its Insolence and its arrogance. PATENT INGENUITY OF THIS COUNTRY.

THE 900,000-TH PATENT JUST ISSUED IN WASHINGTON, is proof positive of the versatitely and genius of the American citizen. The like of it no other people has ever shown. Men of all nations have contributed and many rail stocks. For varied need has produced varied device and opportunity to profit by monopoly of insight and skill has tempeted research and costly experiment. The total of patents issued in this country is not far below that of all other countries combined, and of the number statistics show that Lake county has had fully, if not more, than its share. THE LOCAL OPTION fight, which Mr. Marshall has tried to throw in the wastebasket, is one of money vs. morals. It is humiliating to think that the party of Turpie, of Hendricks will sell its birthright for a mess of pottage and that it will join hands with brewers and brewery saloons and cast morals to the four winds. UP TO THE HOUR of delivering the last page to the stereotypers, Mr. John E. Lamb has carried Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York in the landslide for Bryan. This, with the approbation and permission of the Chicago Journal and Walter Wellman, obviates any necessity for hold an election. Congratulations from the International Order of Dopesmiths! o THE ABSENCE OF THE name of the Hon. John W. Kern from the list of democratic campaign fund subscribers, serves only to illuminate the fact that he is the only democratic running mate Mr. Bryan has ever had who wasn't put up for his money.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. WHAT DOES YOUR CHILD READ? A Pennsylvania youth, having fed his Imagination on dime novels, had turn ed holdup man. The "car bandits," mere lads of Chi cago, w ho shot policemen and made a reign of terror, ending their career at the gallows, confessed they got their cue for outlawry from yellow backed novels. Note the law of assimilation. The law Is this: One Is assimilated changed, transformed Into the likeness of that which he loves and admires. If the boy admires the desperado he will want to be like him. Therefore the danger In the book that makes a hero of a bad man. The boy will be warped into the likeness of a bad man. There is plenty of this literature, more's the pity, which puts a Jesse James or a Frank Tracy up on a pedes tal of success for worship. Watch the books your boy reads. And by the same token Look into the books read by your girl. The heroine of your girl's book will Influence her imagination. Her ideals, like the ideals of the boy, will transform her. Many of the current novels read by girls and catalogued as harmless are not only trashy, but dangerous. Because they are not true to life. They give distorted views of the real world. The girl gets false ideals. Her fancy Is filled with diseased imaginings. She is thus mentally unfitted.- She is laying up for herself discontent and Unhappiness, because her life will not come up to her ideals. Good fiction has Its place. Watch over the child's ideals. Do you remember nawthorne's story of "The Great Stone Face?" Legend said: Some day a great and good man would come and stand by the .noble stone face in the mountain, and his face would be like the stone face. A boy looked every day for years on the stone face. He admired the face. He learned to love it One day, grown to manhood, he stood by the stone face, and, lo, every one saw that his face had been changed Into the likeness of the stone! Ills face had been transformed into the close resem blance of. the face that he admired. Which is a true fable of the power of an ideal. But Suppose the stone face had been an evil face, a hideous and a cruel face! THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

"We certify to all the great electorate that when their votes In November shall have chosen James S. Sherman to be vice president of the United States, the senate will be sure of a presiding officer In character and competency worthy of the beat traditions of that great deliberate body, and that which God forbid the and contingency were to come which should for a fourth time call a vice president from New York to the executive office, the Interests of the whole country would be safe la good hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high Standard of dignity and honor and competency of which we are so Justly proud."

Mayor Becker, Attorney Conroy and Attorney Gavlt are doing some great spell-binding for the democratic ticket over the county. The Chicago Telephone company is making arrangements to get the re turns this year In a way that it has never before attempted, and expects to furnish its patrons with some crack lng good election news this year. All the brewery saloons in Hammond are sporting Ed Simon's picture above the lithograph, bearing the words Home Rule." "I'd like to know what the saloons expect if they think they aren i getting come rule now," said one Hammond man who saw the litho graphs. Will Hastings, who is County Chairman Dick Sehaaf's right hand man at the county headquarters, is living the strenuous political life. Outside of Mr Schaaf he lias perhaps more details of the county organization at his fingers -ind than any other one man. 1 During the week Immediately pre ceding election New York is to be the center of activity in the national cam paigns of both the leading parties. Horace D. Taft, principal of the Taft scnool at atertown, Conn., and brother of William H. Taft, has de clined to run for representative in the Connecticut legislature. it is rumored in Washington that in the event of the defeat of Joseph G. Cannon for re-election. Representative John Dalzell of Pennsylvania will become a candidate for speaker of the house. The Nebraska synod of the Presby terian church has adopted resolutions condemning the attitude of Speaker Cannon on temperance, and protesting against his re-election as speaker of the house of representatives. t'resKJent Itoosevelt, Secretary Loeb ana an tne .New York men among the White House employes will go home n vote. Theodore Roosevelt Jr.. who recently came of age, may cast his firs vote at Oyster Bay next month. In figuring on the . approaching elec tion many or those best acquainted with the situation agree that there are between niney and one hundred close congressional districts scattered through the country, most of them in "tates which are now classed as doubtful states. A knowledge of these con'litions accounts for the deep concern felt over the house of representatives by the managers of both political organizations. County Chairman Schaaf returned last night from a trip through the antral and southern parts of Lake vounty, and feels supremely confident

WRITES LETTER TO

i. his

E. G. Ballard of Gar?', candidate .for congress on the Independent ticket, formerly one of W. J. Bryan's most ard ent supporters, has turned his back on Bryan, because he wrote Mr. Bryan a letter and Mr. Bryan didn't answer it the way Mr. Ballard thought it should be answered. The letter written to the "Peerless One" in as follows: E. G. Ballard, H. M. Stanton. Ballard & Stanton, Attorneys at Law, Kahn Block. Broadway, near Seventh Avenue, Gary, Ind. Gary, Ind., Dec. 21, 1907. Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.. Dear Sir and Fellow Democrat: In the fall of 1898 I cast my first vote for democratic principles because was fully persuaded that the demo cratic party had came back to the faith of Jefferson and Jackson, and I admired and hailed your success and efforts at the Chicago convention with the keenest appreciation and delight. and as the campaign progressed my enthusiasm increased as your efforts equalled in my humble judgment those of any statesman or any orator ever produced. In fact, I came to glory in the fact that I .was known to every body In the state of Indiana, almost, as a "Bryan democrat." I campaigned over the greater part of the state under that banner, and no one felt deeper sorrow or regret In your defeat than myself. In 1900 I was again in harness, and prepared a campaign book for the na tional committee that was widely cir culated by it, and appreciated by many of the leaders of democracy through out the land, among -whom were Governor Altgeld, Willis J. Abbott, Henry U. Johnson, George Fred Williams, etc. I have been a consistent and enthus iastic democrat ever since, and deeply deplored the capture of the last na tional convention by the eastern and southern traitors to true democratic principles. The democracy of the peo ple was crucified between the eastern and southern aristocracies the plutoc racy, if you please. The former believ lng In white wage slavery and the latter, true to their traditional belief In black slavery. Naturally sympath izing with their eastern brethren," were eager to Join hands in the enslavement of the white wage earners of the land So Wall street was doubly pleased in the status it did not matter to them whether Roosevelt or Parker won out hey could not be Interfered with. I am satisfied that you abhorred the situation yourself. It is needless to relate that the thousands of true demo crats were forced to enter a protest it was all that they could do. And it was a protest such as the people of this country had not beheld since the election of Abraham Lincoln. If it taught any leason, it certainly Indicated that the reople the real democracy cannot be fooled Into voting for anybody and anything under the party emblem. It takes more than that these days to Interest the honest voter. Our defeats in 1896 and 1900 were largely due to the work of traitors In our own party, men who professed to be democrats but who did not be lleve in the principles of Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan nor the platforms of our party. They were the same people who captured the last national con vention and again led the old party to defeat ignomlnous and disgraceful defeat for they were In the saddle and directing the pretended fight. It can hardly be called in common honesty a real battle. Our differences with these people was fundamental, they did not merely dislike the ratio of 16 to 1; they did not like any other plank in our platof the result. Mr. Schaaf says that things are looking splendidly wherever he went. He mixed with shopkeepers, farmers, laboring men and the masses, and declares that the portions of the county will return a big republican majority. 1 .'t. New York, Oct. 21. "Another omen of victory In November was tendered to Judge Taft and myself at Wilmington, Del.," said James S. Sherman, at republican national headquarters yesterday. "In fact, two of them," continued the vice presidential nominee, as he delved Into his inside pocket and produced a rabbit's foot, which he re garded with every Indication of satisfaction. "A delegation of Delaware voters waited upon Judge Taft Monday and presented to him one of these mascots, and later the same delegation waited upon me when I arrived In Wilmington and conferred a similar honor on me." Cincinnati, Oct. 21. A dispatch to the Enquirer from Bc-Uefontaine, O., says: "General Manager Van AVinkle, Vice President C. E. Schaff and General Superintendent Albert Ingalls of the Big Four railway system, visited the railway shops here today, ostensibly on an inspection tour. Before they left the 500 employes were called out and addressed by General Manager Van Winkle, who told them that if Bryan !s elected a 10 per cent cut In wages is Inevitable, but if Taft la elected business conditions will at once improve and the pay of the men be increased." Washington, D. C. Oct. 21. It is regarded here that there is no likelihood of the president going into the campaign to make speeches In support of Taft and Sherman. Mr. Roosevelt made a 'remark during a chat with a visitor this morning which made It evident that he considers the campaign so nearly at an end and the chances of the election of Mr. Taft so certain that he has discarded all intention to take part in the final round. The Railroad Men's Taft club held a meeting at the republican headquarters last evening, at which certain matters of a business nature were taken up.

form; they did not believe in any. thing that we did, unless it might pos sibly be said that they would have been willing to yell the old cry of tariff reform" If we had not declared for anything specific enougli to have hurt their business feeling. It is needless to say that these peo ple do not have any , political or economic principles, unless they yield to them coin of the realm like the touch of Midas gold. They know no such thing as scruple or principle. If there be anything In any platform of any party that they like. It will be found In the special privilege platform of the republican party. They do not really believe In anything that Is truly democratic. They do not believe in obedlenco to the wishes of the common people of the land the "business Interests" ought to rule, in their opinions. It is hard to fathom their claims to membership in a democratic party. But recently it has been said by tho republican press of this state and of our own sister state of Illinois, that at several conferences or meetings al leged to have been held in Chicago (at which some of these gentlemen were alleged to have been present, among whom were Thomas Taggart, gambling king, and resort keeper, and crooked politician and free beer dispenser, and Roger Sullivan, whom you have taught us to believe to be as bad in political tactics and principles as a ."train robber" or "porch climber"), you are quoted as having expressed a deep desire to have the democratic people of the country lay aside all past differences and affiliate with these gentlemen and their kind everywhere, to the end that the democratic party might in 1908 triumph over the republican party. In response to the query, or something akin thereto, 'Are these men democrats?" you are quoted as saying, "We have opened a new set of books," or something of the same Import. Later you were reported to have urged that we including these men and their kind get together and patch up our differences "let by-gones be by-gones," "forgive and forget" in the future "as brother be," etc. These reports have caused great alarm among the readlcal democrats of this district the rank and file the common democrats of the country. I have been loath to believe the truth of these reports, and am writing you now in the hope that I shall learn the exact facts relative thereto. I am confident that you will make a straightforward answer to plain questions. You have never yet been known to evade or equivocate. Many questions have presented themselves In view of these reports, among which we might mention: 1. If our differences with these is fundamental, how can we affiliate with them, or they with us? 2. Would it not be as In the past, a house divided against Itself? An Irrepressible conflict based upon a difference of principle and beliefs that do not permit of compromise. There could only be an unconditional surrender based upon conversion to principles of the party not compromise. 3. If we are to affiliate together, upon what basis shall it be? Shall it be as equals, superiors, or subordinates? Shall they be continued in control of the party organization, whip In hand? Shall they ride In the saddle and marshal the fight, or shall they be made to find contentment In the ranks of the privates? Shall they drive the band wagon and be the loudest to toot the democratic horn, and In the final wlndup, as In the past, claim all the glory, offices, patronage and spoils for (Continued on page 0.) The railway men plan to hear Mr. Taft both at Hammond and at Gary, and an effort will be made to get out as large a representation as possible. Newcastle, Ind., Oct. 21. James E. Watson, republican candidate for governor, spoke to a large audience in this city lt night. The Alcazar theater was not sufficient to accommodate the crowd. Bands and drum corps were here from surrounding towns and kept things lively the entire evening. Mr. Watson arrived from Knightstown late, getting here at 9 o'clock. Meanwhile a procession had formed which met J the car at South Fourteenth street and paraded the principal business streets, before Mr. Watson arrived Judge Mark E. Forkner and Mrs. J. E. Foster of Washington addressed the waiting audience. The appearance of Mr. Watson was the signal for cheering. His address, which was about an hour long, was delivered under difficulties on account of a worn voice. It was devoted largely to tlie attitude of himself and the republican party on the labor question. He also touched on the local option question. Mr. Watson charged Edgar A. Perkins, who in Indianapolis four days ago said he was working in the Interests of the democrats, with bring a democrat, and declared: "I decline to believe that Gompers or Perkins can deliver the vote of the intelligent laboring classes to the democrats as claimed." Kort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 21. The Machinists' union . adopted a resolution last night scoring Gompers as the paid tool of the democratic national committee and the representative of such enemies of organized labor as "Fingy" Conners and Roger Sullivan. South Fiend, Ind., Oct. 21. Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, spoke to a large audience of republicans at Mishawakee, last night. His speech was In line with his utterances at Shelbyvllle. Monday night. In regard to the alleged statement by Mr. Bryan that he supported the Philippine treaty in order to put the republicans In a hole, Mr. Shaw said: "If he did, then he is unworthy the confidence of the meanest man In the nation."
