It was hardly necessary for Mr. Bryan to make answer to any statement or report about his wealth. His wealth and the rantings of Speaker Cannon, who is owned body and soul by the trusts, are not issues of this campaign. Itis to be regretted therefore, that Mr. Bryan was diverted, even for a moment, from the real issues to a discussion of personal matters.

His speeches on the issues have alarmed the opposition, and apparently it hopes to reduce their effectiveness by inducing him to bandy personalities.

Mr. Bryan is a man of modest fortune, according to his own statement, and his veracity is unquestioned. It has been stated from time to time that his candidacies had made him rich, but as a matter of fact the money he owns was earned by hard work and accumulated by thrift. He is industrious and of tremendous energy. He could no more be idle than water could stop from running down hill. He has received pretty good pay for his writings and his lectures because these are well worth reading or listening to.—Harrisburg Star-Independent. ' RA® apoe : ek The election of Delaware county last Thursday.came near being a Waterloo for the Republicans, and it caused a big sensation in all parts of the state. Delaware county is one of the rock-ribbed republican counties of the state. It gave Roosevelt over 5,000 majority, and the normal majority is about 3'500. Two years ago the republican candidate for the legislature, whose place was filled by the special election last Thursday, bad a margin of 2,334 votes. The Democrats nominated a candidate as a matter of form, little expecting that he would make anything but a good showing, but the people flocked to Him in droves and he came within 230 votes of being elected and this in the face of tremendious pressure upon the part of Hanly, Watson and other republican leaders. They even imported Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, into Muncie for two speeches, and Hanly made three speeches to fire the republican hosts. The whole republican ‘machine worked to maké a good showing but the people voted the other way. The outcome is most significant of what is coming in November. S ‘ sRe T : The senatorial district composed of Jasper, Newton, White and Stark counties. went republican two years ago by nearly 2,000. Last Thursday the Democrats elected a state senator by a good margin, defeating a popular republican candidate. The vote was unexpectedly large, especially in republican strongholds. The outcomé was a hard blow to Hanly and his friends for it was taken as a direct step at the governor and his poliey. : ® 2 32 & 82 & :

" The people of Indiana must be proud of a governor who will expose graft in one breath and then charge a fee to the school chitdren of the land. That is certainly patriotisn. with a vengeance. And this same governor lectures on the high sounding subject of “The Patriotism of Peace.”— Evansville Corl,jrier. ; : s The Democrats of DeKalb county certainly make no mistake when they refused to nominate C. E. Gallatin of Garrett for representative. He - still pretends to be a Democrat but is at Indianapolis, a part of the Hanly lobby, using his voice and his influence in behalf of the republican machine thatis tryinz to defeat Tom Marshall and the whole democratic ticket. The democratic state platform was not opposed by a single DeKalb county Democrat. A leading Democrat of that county, Hon. Daniel W. Link, accepted a place on the state ticket at the hands of the convention that adopted the platform and from the men that stand for Bryan. Marshall and the whole democratic ticket. Mr. Gallatin is giving too much aid and comfort to the republican bosses to be a good Democrrt, and the sooner he throws off the mask the better. . : : : seoxdES : “There is no bigger fool in this country than the party fool—the fellow who believes everything he sees and hears that is in accord with his narrow view of things and discredits and condemns everythin@ that he can’t grasp or comprehend. Usually he is loudmouathed, coarse, brutal. Such a thing as an honest difference of opinion he can’t tolerate. He must have everything his own way, even as to heaping abuse upon those who make clear that they don’t care to listen to his bluster.—J. B, STOLL in South Bend Times. it e s 628 The Indianapolis Star, the republican state organ, on Saturday last, gave utterance to the following interesting paragraphs. They mildly reflect the sentiments of ninty-nine of every hundred Republicans that took the trouble to express an opinion. The Star said: : . : . “Possibly if the full republican vote had been polled in Delaware county the democratic candidate would have been elected.” s “If Governor Hanly makes food his threat to leave the republican party, can any one be found to replevin him?” *‘Maybe it would help the republican ticket if Hanly would take the stump against it.” :;s e = i “Colonel” Bill Huffman of Anderson, once custodian of the state house, once indicted and fined s£loo in the United States court for collecting campaign funds in violation of law, once notorious becanse of his alleged connection with a baking power bill in the legislature, and once and now a ‘good many other things—this same ““Colonel” Bill Huffman, right bower | and some ﬁ::' of the deck for former Governor W. T. Durbin,is traveling - over the 8 in the interest of the republican state ticket, but in the especial interest of Watson and the republican legislative candidates. He is telling the liquor dealers and saloon keepers that “*Jim is alright,” and if he accidentally runs up against a temperance man he tells him “Jim is all right.” The *“Colonel” seems to have a very eclear conception plan of e s !

Stick to the Issues

““Who is John W, Kern?” “*Who is John W-. Kern?” asks William E. Corey, the multi-million-aire steel magnate who gained notoeiety by marrying Mabel Gilham, the actress.

In the first place John W. Kern is an old fogy. He has such old fashioned notions that he despises a man who would divorce his wife and the mother of his children in order to gratify an insane passion for an actress. John W. Kern is one of those back numbers who place honor above dollars. He would not sell his soul for gold, even though the devil offered him all the yellow metal there is in the bowels of the earth. He has remained a comparatively poor man all his life rather than enter a combine to rob the people and drive competitors out ef business. He never. so far as we have been able to learn, either founded a public library or endowed a college, Having lived an upright, wholesome, God-fearing life all his days, he never felt the necessity of apologizing to his Maker or offering penance in the form of lucre for his sins. William E. Corey is about -as sharp a contrast to John W. Kern as could be found within the boundaries of the United States, with the possible exeption of James S. Sherman. the other candidate for vice president. No man who holds dear the honor of this country can contemplate the possibility of James S. Sherman becoming, through an act of Providence, the president of the United States without sbuddering,‘ whereas if John W. Kern should be called upon to step into the highest office he would grace it. Fo “Who is John W. Kern?" asks the faithless nabob who casts off his faithfully wife, the women who had bravely shared his days of poverty and had struggled with him to build up his fortunes, as a man throws away a lemon after he has squeezed all the good out of it. Such impertinence deserves no answer, were it not for the sake of calling attention to the brazen effrontery of men of Corey’s stamp who had, through the ‘medium of protected monopoly, grown to be the greatest menace 'that confronts this nation today. Anarchy can be stamped out by }force, but the insidious evil imposed upon this long suffering people by men -*whom President Roosevelt designates very forcibly as ‘“‘malefactors of great wealth,” is even more to be dreaded than anarchy. ““Who is John W. Kern?”’” Why, a plain, honest American citizen of the highest type, an unpretentious, clean living man, yet a scholarly attainments and commanding intvellect. Had that purse-proud Pittsburg millionionaire read John W, Kern'’s matterly reply to the apology of James 8. Sherman he would. have no need to ask, “Who is John W. Kern?”’—Albany Press-Knickerboc-Kker. :

Raising Campaign Funds Judge Frank S. Roby, of the appellate court, has set a good example by refusing to be held up by the Republican state committee which ‘‘assessed’’ bim $2OO for campaign purposes. This whole business of asséssing candidates is immoral, as it partakes of putting up the office to the highest bidder. Tt is especially disgraceful to invade the courts and levy on the judges. This perniciofls practice is on a par with bleeding the trusts and special interests for party funds and all of it leads to corruption. The 'only true way to raise campaign money is for individual members of the parties to contribute of their own free will. It is time the stand-and-deliver tactics was put a stop to in all parties.—lndianapolis Independent. -

Had no Thought of Attacking Preachers Mr. Marshall, instead of attacking the preachers, has rendered the Christian ministry of Indiana a splendid seryice in denouncing the effort of any political party to make merchandise out of a class of men who have- been consecrated and set apart for the work of preaching the gospel. That there are and will continue to be a few more notorietyseekers in the ministry, men whose highest ambition is to get into the spot light and whose joy is in printers’ ink, is lamentably true. Such as these will continue to bask in their snug self-sufficiency, but it is a slander to say that they represent any considerable part of the greatest of all callings.—Columbia City Post

A Quiet Wedding

The marriage of Miss Ruby Soloman and Mr. Nathan Simon of Mobile, Ala., was solomized at the home of the brides’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Soloman on south Cavin Street yesterday at high noon. The ceremony was preformed by Rabbi Etelson of Fort/Wayne assisted by, Rabbi Kronback ef South Bend and in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the bride and groom. It was a simple ceremony but impressive. The bride looked her best. She was elegantly attired in white with rose point and dutch-j ess lace. She carried a beautiful boquet of lillies of the valley. The groom wore the conventional full dress. Immediately after the ceremony the party sat down to a splendid wedding breakfast. ~ The bride is one of our best known and most popular young woman. She is one of Indiana's finest daughters and she will be an ornament to the society of her new home in the Southland. Few Ligonier girls have ever had a stronger hold upon thei affection of our.people, who know her as a winsome girl, an open hearted and popular young lady and a young woman of high character and most excellent qualities of heart and mind. She is liked by all and loved by those who know her best,. All hope that her marri age presages a happy life and a bright future. She well deserves it all. The groom is a sterling young business man of Mobile, Ala., where he has a wide circle of friends. .He is' intelligent and resourceful and during his several visits here has made a splendid impression upon those! who have :come- in contact with him. He stands for his country and his people and expresses great confidence in the futare of his home city and state.

Tuesday evening an informal reception was tendered to the young people at the home of the bride. A large number jof the youﬂg people as well as many others called during the evening to extend their congratulations. The room was, tastefully decorated and it was indeed a merry party that gathered there. The presents are most elaborate and numerous. Many valuable and beautiful gifts were made by _friends from a distance.

The New Road Last Thursday the promoters of the Kendallville, Ligonier & Goshen interurban railway held a meeting in the office of Miller, Drake & Hubbell at Goshen,and adopted a constitution and by-laws. The enterprise is rapidly taking shape and is now assured. Inecorporated for $lO,OOO the capital stock will be increased as soon as the construction is under headway. Several outside czipitalists are taking hold of the project, and it is safe to predict an early construction of the line. The following officers were elected; Elmer E. Mc~ Cray of Kendallville, president; Haines Egbert of Goshen, vice president, and C. C. Beyer of Kendallville, secretary and treasurer. The offices of the company will be located at Kendallville, and it is promised that the preliminary survey will soon be made. This will mean that the right of way will be secured at once, and that all of the preliminaries will be settled in. time for its construction early in the year. This line will be of great importance to Ligonier and all hope that it will be constructed at an early date. With a spur from Albion to Rome City and one from the lake to Lagrange it will tap one of the best localities in the whole state. It is only a question of time when it will ‘be built for it is bound to be a wini ner. : ; i Sees Democratic Gains - Mr. C. V. Inks, the well-known 'monumegt dealer of Ligonier, was in 'the city Tuesday on business, and ‘while here called on the Post. Mr. Inks is an enthusiastic Democrat and a great admirer of Bryan. Heis likewise an enthusiastic Marshall man. He says he believes there will be at least fifty Republicans in his township (Perry) in Noble county that will vote. for Mr. Marshall, and there are several who will support Bryan. Mr. Inks says the popularity of Tom Marshall in all places where he has been is surpriging, and he can’t see any possibility for the Republicans to defeat him. Mr. Inks says the Democrats in Noble county are all working together harmoniously and expect to make & good showing in Noyember.—Columbia City Post. A

Pulled out in Time Anne Albertson, a daughter of Rev E. F. Albertson of Butler, formerly an M. E. minister in this city, came near drowning last week at Cold Springs in Steuben county, by falling off a pier. The young woman was walking backware on account of a stiff breeze and unexpectedly stepped off the pier into deep water. A gallant rescue was made by Raymond Garber, who dove in after her. Miss Albertgson is well known by a number of young people in this city and all are glad to learn that she did not drown. —Columbia City Post.

Was Kicked Out

James E. McDonald, who has been a member of the state board of agriculture for several years, and who is one of the active managers of the state fair, was handsomely remembered this year at the close of the fair. He was the superintendent of the fine arts building, and as a mark of their respect and esteem for the efficient manner in which he has discharged the duties, a number of the exhibitors joined hands and presented him with a handsome gold watch. -In presenting it the spokesman said they had come to register a kick against the manner in which the department had been run, and to show how in earnest they were he said he would present the superintendent with the timepiece. Mr. MecDonald was so touched that he could only\ thank the donors-—Columbia City Post. ;

The Way to Hit Them . The Public Press says that the Good Citizen’s league of Garrett sent Cyrus E. Galletin to Indianapolis as lobbyist to urge the passage of the county option law because ‘‘he is a member of the same party as Luther Kuoisley,” our representative., Certainly it is a mistake about this! Mr. Knigely is a Democrat, elected by Democrats and will positively not repudiate his party. Mr. Gallatin is a paid man working for the Republi‘cans. ,Some mistake about this. Got another think coming.—Auburn Courier. _ :

That is the way to hit them. - The so-called Democrats who are playing into the hands of the republican state machine should be unmasked. There are a few more in DeKalb that may be held up by the Courier to good advantage. S ; Support that Counts According to the Chicago RecordHerald, support for Bryan and the democratic platformy was voted by the editors of forty trade union journals, who met in that city. Every part of the country was represented at the gathering, and according to the program :adopted, the labor journals will at once begin to?ur'ge{ their readers to support Bryan. It was declared that organized labor would register 1,000,000 votes next November for the democratic candidate.—Decatur Democrat. : ‘Seats for Goshen Attractions: .

‘ A Fine Showing | William Francisco certainly fared most satisfactory at the Goshen fa.irL His fine high bred trotting stallion, John R. Kurtz, made a splendid showing and attracted great attention. There being no distinct class in which to show the horse, Mr. Francisco put him on exhibit and he was admired by all lovers of fine horse flesh. - |-

Two year-old Johrn R. Kurtz colts took both first and second prizes in their class. Two yearling Kurtz colts also captured first and second premiums while in the sucking colt clags a Kurtz colt again won a. ribbon. In the three-year race, Mr. Francisco drove his three-year-old colt, ““The Jew” ‘taking 3d money. A mistake in driving cut him out of second money in the race for the horse that won was afterwards disqualified on account of being a “ringer.’’. r

Mr. Francisco is justly proud of his showing at Goshen. He hasa wonderful horse in his stallion, Jo‘th‘n R. Kurtz and his friends are all congratulating him: upon the horse’s popularity. He and a number of his get will be shown at the Kendallville fair next week. T Comforted Coal Barons 1 The anthracite coal trust will look upon the outcome of the election with becoming equanimity.
