Final Week of Campaign Finds Republicans Over State Assured of VictoryNext Tuesday Week, and Raesons Are Given.

DRIFT SEEM 10 'S Democrats Are Sorry that Election Is Not to Be Held Tomorrow but Republicans Believe Their Cause Cause Is Getting Stronger Every Day. "V-Special to The Times.) Indlanapolia, Oct. 27. -The final week of the campaign found the republicans more hopeful than they had been anytime alnee the nominating convention lat April. They were more than hopeful today they were confidents The Kloem which bad existed wa entirely dissipated. Optlminm rela-ned at the state headquarters and eood feeling waa nppemiot. The chanare in the preneral demeanor waa wonderful to behold. Many Cannes might be assigned for the encouragement which made the prospects so rosy. Increased enthusiasm, tangible results from long weeks of organization work, disappearance of apathy, success in putting up a defense against attack, more money, mistakes by the opposition, reunion of factionsall these things and others of equal significance contributed to advance the republican stock. Workers Are Sow Busy. Lack of enthusiasm had worried the republican managers considerably. "Workers had refused to become aroused. Many stayed at home and re frained from getting into the thick of the fight. Jealousies, petty animosities, factional strife and apathy had tended to disrupt the party. But all this now seems to be over. The whilrwind tour of Judge Taft stirred up the state from the river to the lake. "Workers suddenly got busy; new enthusiasm was created; discouragement was banished; wobbly members were braced up a new and inspiring faith seemed suddenly to have gripped, all. With this came definite and tangible results from the work that the organizers had been doing. Results had been expected a week or two before but had not appeared and this worried the managers more than anything else. But the. results commenced to show early last week and each day they multiplied until the bosses were delighted. Daily gains will be enjoyed, they insist, and by the morning of election day, they say, the state will be in prime condition for a republican victory for both the national and state tickets. The republicans feel that they have successfully defended their candidates against the attacks that had been made on them. Organized labor, they say, is friendly now toward Judge Taft and fairly friendly toward Watson. Until very recently it looked .as if both candidates were to suffer greatly at the hands of unionists. The managers hope that before the week is over, Watson will be as acceptable as Taft now Is. The drift seems to be toward him. Individual members of numerous unions have broken away from the domination that held them and it is thought that the democratic sway over the ranks of unionists will shortly be broken. Funds are at hand to meet the heavy expense of the windup and this is a gratifying as the state committee had been on the verge of bankruptcy. The national committee had failed to extend any financial help and the contributions received by state managers had long ago been disbursed. The committee would have had difficulty in keeping things going to the end of the campaign if the additional cash had not been forthcoming at this time. It is generally thought that the national committee finally "came through" and offered the aid that had been importuned. Has Hurt the Democrats. But all these affirmative elements are FOR PIMPLES, TOO. Sew Discovery Cures Ecaema acf Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles Over Night. A few months ago the dispensers ot poslam, the new discovery for the curt of eczema, decided to allow the druggists of the country to handle it. Previous to that time It oould only be obtained direct from the laboratories. Since this change In the method o' distribution, poslam has met with thi most phenomenal success of anythlnr introduced to the drug trade In the las; SO years. All leading druggists. Including J. W. Wels In Hammond, are new carrying the " special 50-cent size recently adopted, also the $2 Jar. This great success Is not surprising when it is remembered that, in ecsema cases, poslam stops the itching with first application, proceeds to heal immediately, and cures chronic cases In t few weeks. In minor skin troubles such as pimples, blackheads, acne herpes, blotches, rash, etc., results show after an overnight application. Experimental samples of poslam are vent to anyone by mail free of charge, by th Emergency Laboratories. 32 Wes Twanty-flfth street. New York City.

190S Probable Political map of no more potent than the negative feature afforded by the brewers in getting too bold in their support of the democratic candidates. The flaming posters scattered throughout the state, the let- t ters sent to farmers, the "personal liberty" celebrations held in many cities, the distribution' of liquor literature, buttons and badges, and the general activity on the part of brewers, liquor dealers and saloon men in behalf of the democrats have tended, it is declared, to drive temperance men from the party and to drive back to the republican party liberal minded members who had sought to rebuke their party for the enactment .of county optionThe democrats,' themselves, fear that the brewers have overshot themselves and done irreparable' harm. They admit that the posters 'should, never have been stuck up, that the farmers shoul not -have been apepaled to, ' that the personal llbertyites should not have pa rded the streets and ' flaunted their views in the faces of the' general pub-' 11c and that the saloon men should have remained less active. The democrats are now insisting that the obnoxious posters be scraped off the billboards or covered with posters less radical. Seek to Draw Distinction. The democrats seek to draw the distinction between ''brewery backed" and "brewery controlled." - They admit that the liquor dealers are supporting Mar shall but they deny that they are in fluencing his action or conducting his campaign. Marshall, however, studiously refrains from saying anything that might antagonize the brewery crowd and in the meantime he remains under the suspicion that he, serving as the candidate of the men who interest themselves in politics for business reasons. Democrats who were for Marshall before the slate convention and who rejoiced when he was named to head the ticket, regret that he has not com boldly out against the brewery activity that has characterized his campaign. They would like even yet for him to declare that he would not favor the repeal of the county option law. ' ' ' i Two special train trips started today one from Chicago and the other from ttiis. citv.: The former - bore Senator Beveridge and 'a group of distinguished republicans- who-will-visit -every county and practically. every city and. town of the state. The trip . will last five days. The second bore John W. Kern and a bunch of: distinguished demo crats. ' It, too, "will travel from one' end of the state tox the other, and from the Ohio to the Illinois line. . Later'in the week a special train will carry Watson into numerous counties and on Saturday a special will -shoot across northern and eastern "Indiana with - Mr. -Bryan as its bright -attraction.' The Watson special will, prob ably be run Thursday and Friday. Putting on Finishing Touches. Both -parties are now putting on the finishing, touches and from today forth it will merely be an effort to arouse enthusiasm and drive away apathy that a full vote may be recorded a week fro mtomorrow. The situation might be summed up as follows: The democrats are sorry that the election is not tomorrow instead of a week from tomorrow. They fear they are beginning to lose ground and that a drift has set in toward the republican party. An election tomorrow would, the democrats think, give their state ticket a big majority and carry Bryan aoross the dead line. The re-

Such however, was the case in Gary last night when Officers Marquart and Swada were on their way to meet the midnight train on the Lake Shore. They encountered two men, one of them a foreigner, who were wrestling as though their lives depended on the outcome. The i, foreigner's assailant having noticed the approaching policemen, made one more vicious Jerk , to get away and 'succeeded. The police immediately, gave chase, following the fellow over the elevated platform near the tracks and down the' embankment through a wire fence.- -It Both of the officers wore their rain coats and intrylng to cra"w through the fence were caught 'in the barbs. By the time they had. released themselves the fellow was In safety, but no before the officers had fired several shots at him. -; - , ' Find Money" Torn t'p.

As a mute evidence of the hold-up, they found 'two hats and. four to bills and one,2 bill torn in half. 'Later the police learned that ewhile they were" giving chase" two other fellows,, who .evidently belonged to the gang.'. "were "hiding behind the stone abuttments of the ev'elation. ;They believe they know the owner of one of the hats and hope to have him arrested before the day is over. publicans, on the other hand, rejoice that another wek intervenes and only regret that the time is not longer. They feel sure that the tide has changed and they would like a bit more time to get full benefit of the change. Republican optimism is expected to grow during the coming days; democratis depression is expected to increase. IF YOU ARE BUSY, THY TO FORGET A LOT OF" THINGS AND REMEMBER THE WANT ADS.

TICKET. t Contlsned from pace 1). the nominations for the offices of Judge of the circuit court , and prosecuting attorney, was . not altogether regular In that, there had been no officials call issued.; But he stated that as long as the ' relator's demand that his name be placed on the democratic ticket was not ; a ) matter concerning both parties the regularity of the call was not a matter-of the greatest importance. r ' Party' Will Paramount. The Judge. said that the meeting was held under the direction of the county chairman,, there was a." representative democratic body present, the convention acted with practically the unanimous, support, of thu democracy of the two- counties at that time and there is to' question, that, until- the relator presented' his petition - the action of the convention was not" satisfactory to the democrats of the. two counties. To sum up the reasons for the Judge's decision it was made1 In view of the fact that it was undoubtedly the Intention of the convention at Hobart to leave the offices of Judge of the circuit court and prosecuting attorney unfilled by candidates and further than that the petition of the relator is not sufficient. POLICE START A SEARCH. Continued 'root pace one.) size used for chafing dishes, was found placed on a box .and burning with a very slow flame. Piled on top of this was a quantity of clothing and paper, thus permitting the burning of the material, for several hours before the building itself caught fire. Whether the blaze was started with the inten tion of securing the insurance on the furnishings is not known, but the opin ions of Ilarborites point to this con elusion.' ; The damage to the building was very slight, .merely the millinery stock be ing ruined, , to an extent of perhaps $300 damage. Plumes and feathers, bows, ribbons and forms were all ruined by 'the water. Not three hats were left whole after the devastation of the firemen. Seen Yesterday in Chicago. i It is said that Miss Braswelt was seen In Chicago By a Harbor resident early yesterday morning and seemed very much excited. Although on the best of terms with the party In ques tion, she seemed anxious to escape her notice, and hastened away under the pretense of purchasing a parasol. The informant, at that time, had not heard of the fire in this city, and could draw no conclusions regarding the woman's efforts toy conceal herself. . Miss Braswell's parlor has always been the home of the better class of trade, although during the past two months she has met with serious re verses. Orders have been cancelled and opposition being given her by another millinery shop on Pennsylvania ave nue. It is thought that this may have so affected her mind that she unconciously decided to- leave the city and at the same time destroy all traces of her losses.

Speech Is Along Independent Lines

and Crowd Yells George Ade.' for (Special to The Times). Crown Point. Ind.. Oct. 27. Five hundred people heard Senator Bever Mfr. crnAa b- Vila .nfipl 1 train whlrh passed through this place, yesterday morninjr. Rain was falling and this fact kept many away. Mr. Beveridge's speech was along independent lines. ' People do not belong to parties," he aid; "parties belong to the people. When men disregard their own intellects and their own con sciences and vote their party ticket! merely because it is their party, they are not men, but mere numbers. We j are not going to vote for Mr. Bryan because he is a good speaker, nor for Mr. Taft because he is a Jolly good fellow. Bryan is a good speaker, and I like him. Taft U a Jolly , good fel low. But we are going to vote this year In the way that we think will bring tho greatest benefit to our fam ilies and our homes. Mr. Bryan is a good man. So is my preacher down at Indianapolis, but I am not going to vote for him for president on that account, and he has not the nerve to ask me. "The republican party has enacted more good laws in the present administration than were ever passed by any 1 three administrations before, and there is not one of these good laws that the democrats propose to repeal. If these laws are good enough to keep, then why turn out the party that made them and put into power a party that has done nothing good?" Hands of Two Bryan Men Went I p. Mr. Beveridge vfaa introduced to the crowd by W. II. English. The senator asked if there was ony one in the crowd that intends to vote for Bryan. Two men held u their hands. "If it is that near unanimous," said the senator, "northern Indiana will do mlglVty well this year. Twelve years ago it was sixteen to one, but this crowd seems to be about a thousand to two." As is customary, Beveridge chal lenged the democrats to show why they were for Bryan, but failed to elicit any answer from the one or two specta tors who were casting their fortunes on the side of the "Peerless One." Ridiculing the idea that Indiana was anythlng but solid for Taft and pre dieting a good majority for "Watson and the rest of the ticket, Beveridge launched into one of the best short speeches heard in Crown Point and again recited the parable of the farmer and the man who was looking for the position of managing his farm and try ing to oust the manager who had done so well for the last seven years. The crowd was not long In giving the "Commoner" his position in the story. and the rounds of applause that greet ed the story only shows how unre liable an intelligent audience consld ers the "Peerless Ons" to be. Beveridge admttted that Bryan was a very good fellow, but said his preach er at home was also, but that fact didn't make him want to vote for his preacher for president any more than it made him want to vote for Bryan, When Beveridge stopped sneaking the crowd Jammed around the car platform and shook hands with him. Men and women both climbed over each other to get at him. Just as the train started away, somebody dragged George Ade out of the car, and Beveridge Introduced him. The crowd yelled for a speech, but Ade admitted to them that he was not the orator of the trip. THINKS IT Gl CARRY GARY A Chicago paper is planning, all by itself, to carry the whole county of Lake for the democratic party, by the circulation of free papers. It can not sell any appreciable number of papers in this region and so they have taken to giving away papers so that the Bryan gospel will reach the voters. Yesterday a number of democratic reporters went to the various labor leaders in Gary and secured interviews with them on the labor situation. These laooring men did not give the reporters very much satisfaction and yet when one of the reporters was heard dietatlng the interviews to a stenographer, it was noticed that they were all fa vorable to democracy or expressed very diffrent views than the original inter views. These statements are expected to be printed in the paper this evening and will be circulated in Gary free of charge. In the opinion of the Gary republicans the Indiana democracy is convinced that it can never win without Gary and a few other similar pmcrs ana is accordingly maKing a last stubborn stand here. Losses Caused by Thoughtlossness. It is one of the greatest trials of the employer of men that his employes so rarely think of what they are doing. Ask the claim agent of a great rail road how much money mera- unthoughtedness costs his company in a single year and his answer will sur - prise you. For the railroads of the United States these unthinking workers cost their employers tens of mil Hons of dollars every year as the expense bill for unthousbtedness. Chicago Tribu"

Arrested and Placed in Custody of

Police Authorities, Being Released This Morning. After telling the Gary people for two weeks what wicked lives they were leading, and that they, ought to repent, Nt like he had done, .Colonel F. Harrington, who styles himself the leader of the New American Salvation Army, was arrested last night in Gary on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. He was released this morning in Judge Huber's court on his own recognizance. Colonel Harrington and his wife. both of whom stay at a Toleston hotel. have appeared nightly on the streets of Gary and preached and testified to the goodness of the Lordi and many a coin fell Into the hat as it was passed around. Last night Colonel Harrington was on the street alone and "soused. It was 'wet outside, ana why not counter-balance the conditions by get-; ting wet inside? Filled with more of the cheap "booze" than religion at the time, he procured a handful of car rots and threw them at passers-by on Broadway. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Davis who were among the pedstrians, were his objects in particular. Mr. Davis swore out a warrant for the salvation 1st and the erring colonel was taken to the town bastile, where he slept it off. Upon being searched he was found to have a bottle of cocaine in.; his posession. ' His Organisation Is I'nknonn, t This morning he gave his reasons and explanations for his conduct. As to be ing drunk, he said that the liquor, which he had taken for the sake of his health, got the best of him, and that he did not really know its strength. As for the carrots, he did not know that he had thrown any. He remembered that he did. intend to throw them at a dog, bilt since there was none In the neighborhood at the time,. his missiles went wild and hit innocent people. Colonel Harrington is now In an excellent condition to go out and preach again and prove to his listeners the evil effects of drink and present himself as a living example. Nothing is known in Gary of an or ganization called the New American Salvation Army. GARY REPUBLICANS AfiEJipiED John McFadden, Candidate ' For Assessor, Is Guest of Honor. Last night the Polish Republican club ef Gary held a splendid meeting in the south end and later a banquet ln honor of John McFadden, candidate for assessor of Calumet township. There is probably hot a more popular man ln Gary today than Mr. McFadden, nt only with the Americans but with I the foreigners of all nationalities. The meeting last night was the regular j meeting of the club, but the banquet was given especially in his honor. The Polish organization of repub licans is one of the strongest in the city. Nearly every classe of foreigns have a club of their own but there is no race ln which they are so uni versally of one political belief as are the Polish. At the banquet last night a lunch was served after which they were addressed by various speakers. They were addressed in both English and Polish. Two of the principle speakers of the evening were A. B. Seroscynski manager of the Smith & Bader real estate office, and Major McFadden. They all seemed particularly enthu siasuc over ine latter ana he was warmly greeted. All the foreigner will hold repub iican rallies this wrek in the hall in the south end and'- these will wind up next Monday with a big colored republican meeting on that night Coward Sharks. The cowardice of sharks Is well known among men who have been much to sea in Southern waters. The fiercest shark will get out of the way or. swimmer If tne latter sets up a noisy splashing. Among the South Sea islands the natives never go bathing alone, but always in parties of half a dnzpn nr en in nrder that the , -. " " .j may make a yreat hubbub in the water. Home Notes. Straight Path Always Best Nations as well as men have gone down to the dust in disgrace when they fell away from the rectitude of morality and the code of truth. Subterfuge and dishonesty have paved the 1 way to extinction and oblivion, while i integrity and manhood have upraised the standard of commonwealths and placed it on the sun crowned heights of victory.

Second Ward in East Chicago Will

-Be in Line for the Ticket This Year. Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. Oct. 27. "Stand by the party that gives you recognlttion on Its ballot, that permits the placing of your country men in office and gives you a fair show with the American born citizens." With these words, spoken in the Slavish tongue, Hon. I. C. Berger, president of the National Slavonian society, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., closed his address to some two hundred Polish and Slavish residents of East Chicago last evening. The meeting was held in Krupa's hall and was one of the besi of this year's campaign. Quite and attentive, the audience listened to the words of wisdom that flowed from the mouths of the speakers. There were no noisy interruptions, such as occured at a recent democratic meeting In this same hall, and applause was forthcoming whenever a crucial point in the address demanded it. Attorney's Timely "Warning. Attorney P. McClosky, president of the Polish Young Men's club, introduced the speaker, prefacing each introduction with a warning to remember the days of '93, when soup houses were abroad throughout the country and no-one had money. The meeting was arranged in the short period of six hours and when this fact Is taken Into consideration, together with the extreme Inclemency of the weather, the attendance was entirely satisfactory. East Chicago still has the Polish and Slavish vote solid for Taft, Watson and the county ticket. Inquiry among the foreigners by a Times correspondent during the past two days resulted in eliciting this information, although there is a little talk throughout the city of scratching ballots. Mr. Krupa is an able politician and is holding his own with the residents of the second ward, the home of the majority of the city's Slavish voters. Many Candidates There. The meeting last night was also ad dressed by Candidates Charles E. Green wald, V. S. Reiter, B. E. Escher, Tom Grant, Sam Ableman and by Attorney Abe Ottenhelmer, of this city. Grenewnld showed the correct manner in which the straight republican ticket should be voted. He denounced the split ballots as unfair to the voters thmselves and demanded of them the surrender of complete republican ballots from every resident of the second ward. Several members of the Hammond Young Men's Republican club were present and were of assistance ia the demonstrations of the evening. Another meeting will be held in the hall on Thursday evening when a prominent Chicago politician, and well known in Polish national organizations, has been suggested and will likely be secured. BOUGH ARE SWEATED Chief Martin of Gary Is Reasonably Sure of His Quarry. ". S. Rogers and Walter Wolf, the two young men who were arested Friday night in connection with the holdup and shooting of Frank Bough, the notorious resort keeper, were yesterday bound over to the superior court to await their trial. Chief of Police Martin has thoroughly investigated the case and is reasonably sure that the two men now held are the ones that did the shooting after a severe sweating by Chief Martin. They were unable to tell a clear story of where they got their money and where they spent their time Just before the holdup. The records of the two men were investigated in Chicago and It was found that they have been connected with many such like occurances before. ' , Frank Bough, who was shot through the wrist appeared at the station yesterday afternoon with his arm in a sling. Although the bullet wound has given him considerable pain it Is not thought it will be dangerous. GARY DEMOCRATS STIRRING AMONG THE FOREIGNERS. Three Hundred Voters Gather and Meetings Will Continue Mghtly tow the Balanee of the Campaign. The democrats in Gary held a meeting among the foreigners in a hall between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues on Washington street last evening. It was attended by about 300 foreigners and there were speakers to hand out the democratic dope in three or four languages. There were a few fire works burned and an effort was made to dispel the lack of interest which has been manifested among the democrats all during the campaign. It is understood that the democrats will continue holding meetings in their i ball every evening until election.
