thing more than a greased slide to the White House,' Mr. Bryan, the standard bearer of the party, is morally bound to tell the voters just what

it means.

In the democratic platform it is speci

fically provided that "articles entering into competition with trust-controlled

products should be placed on the

free list"

Now is there any lurking distinction

between "trust-controlled products and products made by a trust?"

Has it not been constantly assumed

in the "blacklisting" of trust in democratic campaigning that all are subject

to the proscription of the repeal of tariff duties on competitive products?

Perhaps the Hon. Josephus Daniels

could explain if Mr. Bryan is too

busy?

IS BRYAN SUCH A UNION LABOR LOVER?

A GREAT MANY WELL-MEANING and honest laboring men in this

country in this state, yes in this county are hesitating about their presi

dential vote this year. Mr. Taft, the republican candidate, has been roundly abused by the democratic organs because they insist that he is an enemy

of labor. Now, will the honest laboring man be fair and. look at the other side

that, is the laboring man who is thinking of voting for Mr. Bryan? A great many of the laboring men in this locality will vote for Mr. Taft and some feci inclined towards Mr. Bryan. Well, we honor them for the honesty of

their convictions, but as Mr. Gompers has assailed Mr. Taft and bitterly

denounced hiza, may we have the privilege of calling the labor union man's

attention to a few things about Mr. Bryan.

Investigate this, if you find it false we we'll brand ourselves as fabri

cate, vor you can put it as strong as you like.

In Battle Creek, Mich., there is a breakfast food manufacturer named Post whom labor unions have cause to hate. The following is clipped from one of Post's advertisements, printed in July, 1905 broadcast over the land. After calling union labor naners "Murderers Advocates," this man

Post goes on to say: "Are these examples the only acts done in the name of 'unionism'? MULTIPLY THEM BY TEN THOUSANDS and you will not cover the tyranny and terror of jeers, insults, threats to workmen, police, lawyers, officials, judges and statesmen, the daily meanness out outrage of the independent man working alongside the' union man, the bolts loosened and cables cut to make the derrick fall and kill. The scaffolds and ladders partly sawed to murder. The houses, factories and mines dyanmited, the cars derailed to to kill people, the holes cut in the bottom of vessels, vater poured into molds so they would burst and throw hot molten iron over the independent workmen. Men pushed off roofs, docks and scaffolds; women and men fellowed by outlaw members of the 'entertainment committee' and assaulted and murdered; industry stopped and anarchy established in a determined effort to place all people under subjection and slavery to labor leaders."

Now Mr. Post will not place his advertisements in papers favorable to

organized labor. He is continually carrying on warfare against labor unions all over the United States. The Times would not print Post's advertisements assailing union labor, because The Times employs union labor. Yet, if you have read Mr. Bryan's "Commoner" that champion of the downtrodden, that immaculate democratic organ, you will have read in "The Commoner's" pages POST'S BREAKFAST FOODS ADVERTISEMENTS. Unless Mr. Bryan sympathized with Mr. Post in his crusade against union labor, would he have accepted Mr. Post's advertisements? Is it an unjust inference to make? After reading the above scathing denunciation of labor unionists by "Battle Creek" Post, don't you think that if Mr. Bryan was so much concerned about the welfare of the union laboring man, he ought to have refused any of the Post advertisements? Ever look at it in this light, Mr. Workingman, when Mr. Bryan professes to be your friend? WHAT KERN THOUGHT ABOUT THE INJUNCTION. INDIANA'S DISTINGUISHED, BUT TWICE defeated candidate for governor, John W. Kern, i3 candidate for vice president on the democratic ticket. Perhaps some of Mr. Kern's friends in this state have forgotten that his political record Is as variegated as that of his chief. There is scarce an important question of public interest before the American people which he has not both opposed and supported. We cannot be accused of telling a campaign lie when we remind you that in 1S96 Mr. Kern was a gold democrat. Later in the same year he was talking for Bryan and free silver. He has been agamst hauling down the flag in the Philippines and for hauling it down. In June he issued a statement in which he said: "I am not in favor of a plank declaring against injunctions and do not believe the democrats will incorporate such a plank in the platform." To put a long story short, the plank WAS put in the platform and Mr. Kern became a candidate for vice president.

ao, no, we are not criticizing Mr. Kern for changing his opinions. He

has a right to do that.

Only doesn't it spot him as a man of fiightly calibre, a fit component

for a Bryan ticket? SAYS ROOSEVELT IS TOO CONSERVATIVE?

For President WILLIAM H. TAFT

" He la aa strong as he Is a;entle. His reputation Is simply spotless. In all the agitation of a heated campaign (or the greatest office la the world, no one has ventured to Intimate a donbt of the abaolate honesty of this man nko has been before the country for a quarter of a century. Nor can any one no eessfnlly dispute the simple proposition that In the whole history of the United States no one was ever named for the presidency who was so fitted by nature, by training and by experience for the duties, dignities and reaponsibllltlea of that unique office CHARLES HOPKINS, in "The Independent."

For V-President JAMES S. SHERMAN

What The Republican Party Has Done

"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 prestdlag officer In character and competency worthy of the best traditions of that great deliberate body, and that which God forbid the aad 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 In good hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high standard of dignity aad honor and competency of which we are so Justly proud." ELIHU ROOT, at Sherman Notification Ceremonies.

UK i AN ADMITS THAT he has not changed. If you found him unsafe in 1896-1900 have you changed to believe that Mr. Bryan is something

he will not himself admit? If you study contemporaneous history you will accuse Roosevelt being associated in, the popular mind with business depression.

Do you know that where Mr. Roosevelt has gone an ell Mr. Bryan would go a yard? Do you know that Mr. Bryan's criticism of Mr. Roosevelt is that

HE HAS BEEN TOO CONSERVATIVE?

is mat tne Kind or a man you want in the White House? You democrats who are blaming the Roosevelt administration for a panic do you realize that Bryan has pledged himself to go farther than he did and make

war on the existing order of things. Bryan says Roosevelt has been too conservative.

Well, where in the name of all that that is merciful, would Bryan plunge

us u ne is elected! WHERE DO YOU THINK, MR. VOTER? V LABOR CAN USE ITS OWN BRAINS.

THE ISSUES THAT will come up

for final settlement next Tuesday are of moment.

Democrats are hoping to catch the

republicans napping and by getting out their full vote, steal a march on the republicans.

It is up to every republican who is a

lover of his country, his state, his

county, his party and his home, to get

out next Tuesday and vote.

Vote early! Above all things vote early!

In past campaigns the party organi

zation has been sadly hindered and

candidates have lost out simply for the

sake of a few votes.-

Don't think your vote is not needed

to swell the majority. If you bellevo that republican policies are deserving

of recognition, it is your duty as a

citizen to get out and vote.

Don't wait until night comes. Some

thing might happen to delay or even

worse to prevent you from voting. Be on the safe side. Vote early. Get your neighbor to vote early.

A DEMOCRATIC SHEET which for villification and abuse, has never been paralleled, printed something the other day intended presumably to be a roast on Superintendents Heighway and Curtis of Crown Point for allowing the .schools to shut down so that the children could hear Watson at Crown Point. As Mr. Watson spoke at Crown Point on Saturday and as children

there don't attend school every day in

the week, it is hard to see where the

officials mentioned, can control chil

dren on Saturday and Sunday. Both

Professor Curtis and Superintendent Heighway are preparing to take steps to arraign the sheet, however.

EITHER THE JIG IS UP and Taft

is as good as elected, or else all the unbiassed prophets and political arithmatlc men are wrong. The only calculations to the contrary are those of the functionaries, who are obliged to keep up shouting for appearance's

sake.

ANYTHING SAID against Marshall

is of course unfair, abusive and scurhilious. And the harder it hits the worse it is. Of course, the republican

press is to hear Watson villified, slandered and maligned and keep its

mouth shut.

THERE SEEMS TO BE a wonderful

unamity in the democratic agreement

that President Roosevelt should not

have "butted in" to this campaign. Of course there wouldn't have been a word

said if he had admitted that Mr. Bryan

was his heir.

CONTINUED REDUCTION in the number of idle cars. Tretty soon this

barometer of business will have van

THE WORKINGMEN WILL give more heed to what the republican

party has done for labor than to dem

ocratic promises to cajole his vote.

THE LATEST IS that Mr., Bryan

IN POLITICS

RANDOM THINGS AND FLINGS

Among the "finds" of the local re

publicans in the way of orators this campaign, has been H. E. Granger, business agent for the carpenters'

union, who has been making some cracking good republican speeches for the republican ticket. The boys compliment Mr. Granger very much on the earnestness of his speeches and say they are doing good.

Would you rather vote for a party that has done things, or a party wiiich simply cavils at things done? Without harking back to remote times, the j republican party during the administration of McKinley and Roosevelt

has accomplished these constructive works:

Extended National Power and Commercial Prestige. The republican party gave freedom to Cuba, and is aiding her in the

effort to establish responsible self-government.

The republican party has added to the area of influence of the United

States:

Porto Rico, with an area of 3,435 square miles and a- popularation

of 1,000,000; Guam, with an area of 200 square miles and 11,000 inhabitants;

the Hawaiian islands, with an area of 6.449 square miles and a popu

lation of 154,000; the Philippine islands, with an area of 127,853 square miles and a popularation of 7,500,000. The republican party has knit together the interests of this country and the Latin-American republics in a manner to command their confidence and increase our trade. The republican party has maintained the open door for American commence in the Orient. The republican party, through President Roosevelt, put an end to the war between Russia and Japan, and commanded the affectionate recognition of both countries. The republican party restored confidence in Santo Domingo and mad an adjustment of her obligation, which does justice between her creditors and the people of the island. Services for Sound finance. The republican party established the gold standard by the law of March 14, 1900, thereby placing this country in the rank of other advanced commercial nations. The republican party passed the currency measure of May 30, 1908, designed to prevent currency suspension in case of a crisis. The republican party has appointed a monetary commission to consider further retorms in the currency system which may be required by our great commercial expansion. The republican party aided Mexico to establish the gold standard,

thereby creating new and safe openings for American capital. The republican party has extended to the surviving veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars, and their widows, the benefits of a service pension. It has in the meantime reduced payments of interest on the public debt in almost the same proportion as the increase of payments to the veterans. The following figures show the decrease of interest on the debt and the

increased disbursments for pensions at intervals of ten years:

It would pay the Lake county dairymen to keep their places clean. Mr. Tucker, the pure food terror, is in our midst.

And soon we are going to hear the old Iroquois yell again!

THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN GO

THROUGH THE WORLD FROWNING,

IS THE ONE WHO HAS NO FURTHER REQUESTS TO MAKE OF IT.

LABOR, ORGANIZED AND UNORGANIZED is divided in this campaign as in other campaigns. This is as it should be. The man who works with his hands is first of all a citizen, and like other citizens possesses mental independence and reaches his own conclusions. This year, speaking broadly, those members of organized labor whose habit of mind leads them to look at things abstractedly and theoretically, are generally either supporting Mr. Debs or following Mr. Gompers. Those with a more practical turn, who think that the best way is to multiply work and thus create a condition permitting a shortening of hours and an advancement of wages are for Mr. Taft, for they realize as all must that the election of Taft means better times. Thus there is a division of opinion the same kind of division that exists among all other classes when the promise of remote good is balanced against the promise of immediate good.

Senator L. Ert Slack of Franklin, who opposed Thomas R. Marshall in the race for the democratic governorship nomination, is spending the last week of the campaign making speeches in the interest of the democratic party and Mr Marshall in the latter's district. Senator Slack, during the campaign, has made speeches in nearly every part of the state. He was In Indianapolis a short time Monday on his way to Mr. Marshall's district. While here Senator Slack made the statement that the majority of Bryan In Indiana will be more than 20,000, and that the majority for the state ticket will be larger than for the electoral ticket. The state ticket majority will reach a high point, he declares, because there Is great dissatisfaction over the state with the republican ticket and with Governor Hanly.

B. F. Watson, who is a candidate for supreme court Judge on the prohibition ticket, is telling this story in his political speeches: "An old lady was traveling . from

Terre Haute to Chicago," said Mr. Wat

son, "and secured a promise from the

conductor to tell her when the train

reached Mendota, The conductor forgot to tell her, and, thinking the old laa wished to get off there, he backed the

train six miles to Mendota. The lady

was asleep, and after he had awakened her, he told her ttiis was her station. She failed to make any move to get off, and- the conductor said: This is Mendota; you must get oft now.' To this the old lady replied: 'Oh, I did not want, off here. My daughter told me when the train reached here it was time to take a pill." This is what the democratic party would have us do.

Measures for the Benefit of Labor. The republican party has provided for the arbitration of labor disputes between railroads and their employes, under the direction of the interstate commission and the commissioner of labor. The republican party has regulated the hours of railway employes in a way to entitle them to adequate and necessary rest after prolonged labor. The republican party has modified the old common law principle of common employment so as to make it possible for the laborer in the public service to recover for injuries received while at work. The republican party has restricted the emigration of the criminal and defective classes, thereby reserving this country for the honest laborerMeasures for the Protection of the Public. ' The republican party has safeguarded the public health and saved the lives of thousands of infants and adults by establishing proper standards under the pure food law. The republican party has initiated the Roosevelt measures for protection of the forests and the water sources. The republican party has put an end to timber-thieving on the public lands. The republican party has abolished railway rebates, and thereby established equality of treatment and opportunity for shippers, communities and consumers. The republican party has sought to insure the purity of elections and correct expression of the people's will by prohibiting corporations from contributing to national elections. Measures for Defending the Nation and Protecting the National Prestige. The republican party has built up a navy containing nearly three-score fighting ships capable of meeting any other navy in the world. The republican party has reorganized the army by creating a general stak in order to make an effective fighting force. The republican party acquired control of the Panama canal, and has pushed Tapidly the work of construction with the object of connecting the two oceans. Is not the enactment of constructive measures like these better than a policy of criticism and negation? Even if trivial errors can be found, are they not far outweighed by this sort of accomplishment?

He will be whisked away from the Union station in a swift automobile to the east side of the courthouse, where he is expected to talk for ten minutes and will then be hurried to the high school yard, where he is supposed to talk ten minutes longer. Then he will be given a great run by automobile to the Union station, where he will be put aboard his car.

No Hope. Dr. Stewart of Sciotoville, than whom there are few better story tellers, springs this one: "The school marm was talking to her class of eight boys on history. "How many of you expect to be president,' she asked. 'Seven boys promptly rose to their feet. One hungry-looking, roughlydressed, red-headed urchin at the end of the seat remained sitting with a most dejected air. " 'Why, Johnny, don't you ever expect to be president?'"
