"IF YOU CAN PICTURE the prosperity and welfare of 90,000,000 people, carried upon a great engine, with a selection of one of two engineers, both intent upon reaching a certain objective point, both honest, both determined, I believe in the selection of William H. Taft would be the selection of the engineer, who, earnestly
intent upon his mission, would con
sult the element of safety or danger of
track and would arrive in safety at
his destination. Mr. Bryan, if elected, would throw the throttle wide open and with his impatience and enthus-
asm, would be as likely to land use in
the ditch as at the station." Henry F.
Cochems of Wisconsin.
IT IS THE PARTY OF G. A. R.
, , ANSWER THIS QUESTION: There is one question, Mr. Workingman, supporting a family, dependant on your day's work that amid all the noise of the campaign has not been answered for you yet. It is this, and before you vote next Tuesday, think it over: What particular policy will Bryan pursue if elected that will insure more men work and give them better wages than they they have now? Can you answer it? Can anyone answer it for you?
WHY GERMANS FAVpR TAFT.
THE FACT THAT THE ILLINOIS Staats Zeitung, one of the greatest
independent German papers in the world, has come out for Taft will with
out doubt influence many a honest German citizen to (vote for the republican
candidate.
. The German is a good business man. He is cautious about his business
policies and he believes in the gold standard which Bryan does not; he believes in protection for American industry, which Bryan does not; he believes in expending the money of the government for the benefit of all the
people, in the rural mail delivery, the irrigation of arid lands, the preserva
tion and utilization of our forests, the improvement of agriculture and other great public services, which Bryan, acording to the political platform which
he has subscribed, regards as "unnecessary and wasteful."
The prospect that Bryan would be nominated drew bitter protests from
leading Germans and German newspapers controlled by Ridder, the present democratic campaign treasurer, who declared that he would never support J,be advocate of free sliver and repudiation and of other vagaries offensive to the sound judgment and honest character of German-Americans. The fact that Mr. Ridder has seen fit to change his" attitude toward the candidate whose nomination" he had regarded as equivalent to defeat, does not mean that there has been any general desertion of German-American citizens from
the principles of sound money and of protection for American industry. Citi
zens of German origin, democrats as well as republicans throughout Lake
county, are most of them for Taft and the policies that he represents.
The German's common sense tells him that Bryan is a menace to busi
ness; that his political, schemes are visionary and impracticable and that he depends for his only substantial support upon a form of class hatred tending
to undermine and break down American institutions. i THE BREWERY TRUST'S LAST STAND.
LET US TELL YOU, MR. VOTER, that the brewery combine proposes to squeeze the state of Indiana under its thumb with the assistance of Tom
Taggart next Tuesday, if possible. , fc
The brewery and the brewery saloons will put up a desperate battle to
elect Tom Marshall and the democratic ticket.
Now there is no dodging the. fact. There is no use beating around the
bush. The brewers have fastened themselves on the democratic party like
a lot of leeches. '
We believe- that Tom Marshall would like to be well out of such an un
holy alliance as he is hooked up with.
We don't believe that Mr. Bryan hiself, who is a devout Presbyterian and wants "the people to rule," would be tied up wtth the brewers who want
the brewers to rule.
We believe tjtiat democrats and republicans, who believe that the day fpr
brewery domination in this state is past are in the majority.
The issue in Indiana is not political. The paramount, all absorbing
question to be settled next Tuesday at the polls is, shall the Berghoff-Jung-Schlitz-Blatz-Pabst-Lemp-Fairbanks-Lieber combination run the state of Indiana, Its senators, representatives, officeholders, etc., or shall the people rule? We dare anyone to say that the temperance "democrats of Indiana haven't one-half the courage of those six democrats who voted in the legislature for county option and defied the party lash in the hands of Tom Taggart. We believe they have. We believe that they will prove to you that they have next Tuesday. "PERSONAL LIBERTY," OH YES!
NO MAN WHd WAS not old enough
to be a factor in the great struggle of Gl-6a cculd give his heart and soul
more completely to the welfare and well-being of the veterans, who fought
for liberty and right, than Mr. Taft. The old soldiers of Lake county will
recognize this fact.
He is the recognized and distin
guished friend of the old soldier and
is pledged to carry out republican policy in a generous manner to the Grand Army of the Republic. He has never been too busy to see the veteran and listen with sympathetic interest to his just demands. Taft, as
president, will be an abiding fast friend
to all the survivors of our wars.
Veterans and sons of veterans, re
member that the republican party is your party.

THE ARROGANT BREWERY COMBINE that is supporting Marshall a fine thing to be talking personal liberty.
The brewers of this state have evaded and defied the laws at every opportunity possible and brewery saloons have broken the law. The brewers have installed some people in some of their brewery saloons that they would not trust with their own pocket-books. . They have sold their product to houses of prostitution, barrel-houses, bootleggeries, houses of assignation. They have gouged the people who work for them, the men who conduct their saloons for them, they have put the strangle hold on the latter and wrung their filthy lucre out'of them. They have been responsible for crime, seduction, starvation, hungry children and sad-eyed women. Brewers, as "custodians of society" and prating about "personal liberty." Faugh, it makes decent democrats and republicans sick!
And there Tom Marshall lines up with thi3 crew and has the nerve to ask people to vote for him! v. , VOTE EARLY ON TUESDAY, MR. REPUBLICAN. IT BEHOOVES EVERY REPUBLICAN voter to be early at the polls next Tuesday. The polls will open at 6 o'clock and close at 6 o'clock. If you delay until after, that time, even fhough a minute after, you will lose your vote. On account of the slowness of the average election board and the fact that it is presidential year, it is sure to take longer to vote this year than it did two years ago. Some may be shut out if they put the vote off till afternoon. ' There is need of having the polling in the morning and early afternoon. Encourage the republican voters by getting out and helping others out Tuesday. ' Every republican in Lake county should make it a point to get out at least one other republican voter, and then the usual round republican majority is assured. The safe plan is to vote early. Cast your ballot and then you can
MR. TAFT has given his word to a large gathering of foreign born citizens in Brooklyn, mainly Russian Jews, that if elected he will stand for a policy of insisting upon full recognition of Jewish-American rights when they re-enter Russia and that he will pursue the policy relative to Russian treaty revision, which Secretary Root has outlined. This will please the oppressed of Russia, who have come to this soil and shows the largeheartedness of the republican presidential candidate. -

IT 1 QUITE PROBABLE that there will be a great deal of challenging at the polls next Tuesday by the democrats whom it is reported intend to prevent as many citizens of foreign birth from voting as they can. The republicans have fully determined, however, to see that these men get their rights and there will be a number of officials on hand in the shape of deputy united States marshals to see that all citizens, who have a right to vote, are given the perogatives of citizenship. HE IS MISLEADING YOU.
A LAST WORD TO YOU, Mr. Union Labor Man. It is one of the many illusions of Mr. Bryan that he is the special and only champion of labor. What has Mr. Bryan ever done for labor? When in congress he helped to frame a tariff bill which kept hundreds of thousands of men out of employment until a republican administration was elected and a republican tariff act passed. Could he have hit labor a more paralyzing blow? , ' THE MAN WHO declares that he has no interest in this campaign, may
set down as an indifferent and self-

ty, who has the right to vote, has any right to be indifferent to this present
contest. ' It is digusting to read of

at such time as this.
