SAM AND HIS CANDIDACY. Note th unique influence that politics has on some men. Here is Sam Ableman running for mayor of Hammond on an independent ticket and actually telling people in his most picturesquely emphatic way that he is sure to be elected. "Well you just bet I am going to be the next mayor of Hammond. Put that in your pipe and smoke it," vehemently asserted Mr. Ableman yesterday to a friend in a Hammond buffet. Samuel,, armed with a handful of gold coins, jingling in his breeches
pocket is going up and down the city making his boasts in no uncertain
way.
On the outskirts the spectacle of
Sam lining them up in the rear of

TIMES Bl'RKAlT AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 17. For the rst time in the history of the state
as far as the memory of the oldest
inhabitants reaches back, a governor
f Indiana has descended from the
dignity of his office as chief executive to help in a campaign for the election
f a mayor of Indianapolis. Governor
Rulston made a speech the other night
in behalf of JoseDh E. Bell, the demo-
ratlc candidate for mayor, and this
action on the part of the governor ha
aroused much comment because of the fact that the same Taggart machine that nominated Bell for mayor nominated and elected Ralston governor and the same machine that is now so firmly intrenched in the state
house, would, In case of the election
of Bell, be as flrmly settled In the Indianapolis city hall.
The appearance of the governor in
the city campaign has renewed the talk that he is so flrmly fixed as a
part of the machine that when asked
to help another member of the same machine he could not refuse.
HE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
GENERAL CONVENTION.
Some forgotten wag of cynic said
of Wagner's music that it was "bet
ter than it sounded." One might
say of a triennial convention of what
still titularly "the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United
States of America" that it is bigger
than it looks. Statistically that
church is overflowed and domineered over by many other denominations.
In the tables of the census it does
not loom importunately large; but its influence cannot be statistically estimated. Coleridge said of its parent church of England that every
parish church in England was a
centre of civilization. It is even so,
and even so yet; and considerate dis
establishes In England ought to
take that into consideration. It is
even so in America. The Episcopal
Church is an intensely conservative
force in this community. It has al
ways been so. In the early days, in
the days of the Revolution, it was shunned and avoided on that very
ground, and for long years after
ward. But in the very crisis of the Revolution it is recorded that, up In
Westchester or Dutchess, an aid of
Washington offered the conjecture
about a building that the staff was passing, "It is an English church."
'It is my church," the chief respond
ed with a gravity that tended to
make ashamed the American who pre
tended to be a better American than
George-Washington.
That the general anglophobla of
the Revolutionary successes, express ed in the outrageous and indefensi
ble treatment of the remaining:
Tories after the victory, should have
reacted on tne lory church was quit inevitable. During the later
years of the eighteenth century it became a point of patriotism to revile
and objurgate the "English" church
and for long after. Doubtless this
tendency was promoted by the po
litical and racial anglomanla of the
weaker brethren among the "church
men" themselves. Lord Coleridge at
tested in private correspondence
which has since come to publication
his disgust with the fatuous Ameri
can Bishop who spoke to him with
pain and resentment of the activity
of the "Dissenters." "Dissenters in
America!" quoth the Lord Chief Jus
tice in his anger.
It is quite true that the Protestant
Episcopal Church is esentially "An
glican." Any description of it that omits or slurs that connatation is to
that extent invalid. But then con
sider how valuable, how invaluable
the connotation is. He has his les
sons, said Matthew Arnold, speaking
of Emerson, to both the branches of
our race; to ours, meaning the Eng
llsh, it Is his lucid freedom, his
cheerfulness and hope; to yours
meaning the American, he leaves
"dignity, delicacy, serenity, elevation." Among the designations pro
posed for the Episcopal Church by
those who are in favor of changing
its style and title it is strange that
nobody has proposed its proper title
"The Church of England in the Unit
ed States of America." The Episco
pal Church has had its scandals, even
its episcopal scandals. But the
dignity" and 'serenity" and re
ticence, combined with free justice.
with which it dealt with the latest
offence were truly and unmistakably
a "lesson." Is there anything of which this nation is more in need than the qualities its "English" church supplies, "dignity, delicacy, serenity, elevation"? It Is related of an English tourist

It is said that Governor Ralston set
a precedent when he entered the Indianapolis city campaign and that no other Indiana governor ever did the like before. Not long ago the local democratic organization sent a distress call to Taggart and French Lick and he has made three visits to this city since then to give his powerful assistance in trying to elect Bell. It is the belief here that a similar cry of distress was made In the direction of the governor's office, and that the governor responded in the hope that he might help to stem the tide that has set in against the election of Bell and the succcess of the machine. Chas. A. Bookwalter, republican candidate for mayor, in referring to the speech of Ralston, said that he had no more Justification for entering the Indianapolis campaign for Bell than he would have for going to South Bond to speak for Pat Joce, or to Terre Haute to speak for Donn Roberts, both of whom were nominated for mayor by the same influences that nominated Bell In this city. This talk of Bookwaiter's has taken root, and there are indications that it will effectually neu-

Yet some Judges sitting in higher courts, with fat salaries, work but a few hours a day, a few days In the week, take long vacations several times a year, neglect court to hang around the legislature and then complain that more Judges are needed because of congested dockets. Instead of the lower courts mod-
trallze any effect the Ralston speech may have had. However, in spite of all of this favorable comment and of all of the efforts of the better elements to prevent it, the election of Bell appears to be the best bet today. The democratic lines have been drawn tight, and the organization is supplied with plenty of money from source to carry on Its campaign. There are spots in the city where democrats are opposed to Bell and will vote against him in large numbers, sut with a republican ticket, a progressive ticket, and a citizens ticket in the field there is no hope that the opposition to Bell will ever get

be well for some of the upper courts j together In such manner as to become

Bookwalter. Many of them said they were progressives last year. One thing is certain, and that is that whatever candidate gets the bulk of the colored vote thia year will at least run second In the race, and this appears to be the one principal object of both the Republicans and the Progressives. Both sides realize that the one that runs third will be down and out for a long time to come, and they hope to side-step this calamity. There are from 6,000 to 8,000 colored voters in Indianapolis, arid they always were nearly unanimously republicans until last year. Republican poll takers say, however, that many of these negroes have announced their intention of voting for Bookwalter, and that the progressives are scared at the prospect. On the other hand the progressives express confidence in the colored vote. So there you are. Bell will get but a few of them. It is known that the democratic machine is deeply Interested in the Indianapolis election, for it would be a ad blow if Bell, one of its leading members, was defeated. That's why everything possible Is being done to win here, even to calling in the governor.
