WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM There is some speculation among the uninformed as to where all the republican campaign money is coming from which is floating the country, hiring special trains for Candidate Hughes, placing a big slush fund in every doubtful state and hiring political clackers and writers everywhere to ‘‘abuse Wilson” and whoopit up for the old reactionary crowd. It is plain enough where the change is found to carry on a campaign. The money interests of the country have beenshaken down. They haye been promised a ten-fold return of their contributions in tariff favors and other federal concessions in the event of republican success in November. ‘The steel trust, the harvester trust, the woolen trust, the tobaeco trust and Standard Oil with its allied interests have the promise of favorable legislation and they have dumped in a few millions to elect Hughes. ‘ The state committees have been given their first donations and as a result a great stir has been made. Many newspapers have been subsidized, chautauqua lecturers purchased and politicians of high and low degree employed to make a show in a cawpaigu which has not a single

republican issue which may be called legitimate. \ The county eommittees are beginning to receive their allotments of cash-from the big fund and as a result ‘‘organization work” is going on. With the republicans this year ‘‘or. ganization work’’ means the distribution of cash. : The old standpat crowd could not organize a corporals guard in any locality in the United States without cash. They never won an honest election in the past and do not expect to win one this year. : ; There has been unusual activity in Indiana in the past couple of weeks. Joe Kealing has been in the east accompanied by his old friend Jim Hemingway digging into the coffers of Wall street. They have succeeded in procuring money to make a showing and as the campaign progresses they will make a great effort to. buy Indiana for the republican ticket. It is the only way they know to work politics. Indiana is a democratic state in 1916 and will go for President Wilson and the democratic state ticket in spite of anything the Fairbanks crowd can do. Thousands of voters will accept pay for services rendered, but when they reach the polling booths they will vote their real sentiments. The people realize that to elect Mr. Hughes and a republican - congress would be the worst calamaty which could befal them.

THE LORD’S ANOIISTED _ The reason why everything that President Wilson does must be wrong is carefully explained by Mr. Hughes: You zould no more build up this country by the application of democratic doctrines than you could go flying through the air in thv old-fashioned flying machines of thirty years ago. Therefore, President Wilson, being a democrat, is mentally, morally and physically incapable of doing anything right; but Mr. Hughes, being a republican, is incapable of doing anything wrong. The present Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, being a Louisiana democrat, is ipso facto a_ ifool and a sectionalist, but a former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court who recently resigned in order to accept the republican nomination for president is one of the great law-givers of all the ages. People like Mr. Hughes and Mr. Crane and Mr. Penrose and Mr. Cannon and Mr. Mann and Mr. Barnes are the Lord’s anointed. They were raised up by an All-Wise Providence to be the ruling class of the country. The Lord intended them to govern because He gave them republican minds. But people like Mr. Wilson were created to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. If the Deity had wished them to meddle with government He would have made them republicans. v Mr. Hughes has proved himself the George F. Baer of politics He knows exactly into whose hands Divine Province placed the welfare of the working classes and everyone else.—New York World.

When Charlie Fairbanks is ‘‘put wise” to the fact that he has been nominated for Vice President, Joe Kealing, Tobe Hert and Jim Hemenway have decided to get a crowd. So they announce ‘To' notify Fairbanks at Great Barbecue.” Whereupon one editor down east observes with roast Bull Moose perchance, as the occasional and festival sacrifice Watson and New would be a spanking team at this ‘‘homecoming’’ event, to ride Charlie on the same steam roller they pulled over the progressives at Chicago in 1912 and again in 1914. It would be lifelike and remindful.

As John Adair says, there is not muchi chance that the Indiana progressives of 1912 and 1914 will jump many high fences getting into the republican pastures to eat out of the hands of Jim Watson, Joe Kealing, Charles Fairbanks, Jim Hemenway, Jim Goodrich, Harry S. New, Will Wood and the rest of the splepdid collection of forward looking patriots.

Owing to the shortage and high cost of print paper the Indianapolis News announces that it will have to reduce its exchange list and the Banner will probably be cut off and diplomatic relations severed. This will be a sad blow to the News, no doubt.

THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA,

~ CAMPAIGN OPENED Congressman Adair Delivers _Powerful Address at Fort Wayne Meeting: Sattwday . -

Speaking to an audience of five thousand, made up of enthsiastic democrats from all counties of the Twelfth congressional district, Congressman Adair, democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, at Fort Wayne Saturday presented the claims of democracy in the campaign for success at the polls in November. If, after listening to the facts as presented by Congressman Adair, the republicans have an issue to go before the people with it has not yet been discovered.

Congressman Adair, with his ten years in Congress, has a wide grasp of national affairs and he presents his argument in a most pleasing and interesting manner. : The gentleman will deliver an address in Ligonier Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 5, and everybody should turn out and hear him.

Republicans and progressives will hear nothing from the lips of John Adair to hurt their feelings. They should know the facts in order to vote intelligently at the November election for as Mr. Adair says this is the most important election in many years for on its issue hinges whether the whole people are to enjoy the wise legislation enacted in the past three years or whether the national government is again to become an instrument for the benefit of the great money power. '

Noble county sent a big delegation to the meeting. The rally was preceeded by a banquet at the Anthony hotel and the speech-making and barbecue was held in beautiful Robinson park. Albert Shaum, of Indianapolis, presided at the meeting and all the state candidates were present. ~ Congressman Cline found that he could not leave his duties at Washington and as a consequence & was not present. o It was a great day for Indiana democracy, a day of rejoicing for the good that has been achieved for the people in nation and state and for the assurance that with a prosperous country at peace with all the world, unbounded prosperity and happiness Woodrow Wilson is sure of re-election.

' The Old Tactics The Indiana corrupt practices act makes it a criminal offense to post up notices in factories or workshops, such as was always practiced by the republican employers of labor, calculated to influence voters. J. C. Munton, of Kendallville, is the republican chairman of the Noble county campaign comimittee. He is also superintendent of the 'ort Wayne & Northern Traction company and he or some one with his permission has caused to be posted in the trolley cars the followe= . :

“If.you would have your flag respected; If you would preserve your country’s institutions; If you would have a permanent prosperity that is not dependent for its existance on the roar of cannon and. the bursting of shapnel on the other side of the -world; a prosperity that is not meas. ured in widows and orphans, interest yourself NOW in the politics of your state and nation.

There would be no disposition to punish anyone for posting such bunk as the above, if it comes within the law, for it is too amusing for serious consideration. The brain that con ceived this piece of campaign work is too light to do other than provoke

T | ~ That we have in four months, by tremendous exertion, quadrupled our daily output. . 7 - That we have parts and materials, on hand and in process, for 20,000 more of the present Super-Six. Constantly increasing demand has just forced us to place contracts on materials for an additional 15,000. P _ - Thus it is settled that at least 35,000 more of the Hudson Super-Six will be built like the present model. Our production is now 3,500 monthly. : . ' ' ‘

S No Change in Sight ~ Our opinion is that a like announcement will be . madein a year from now. The Super-Six invention in one bound increased motor efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small, light six, which delivered 42 horsepower, it created at T76-horse-power-motor. And simply by ending vibration, 3 * Stock Super-Sixes, in a hundred tests, have out rivaled all other stock car performance. In speed, 4An'hill climbing, in quick acceleration and endur~ance, they have done what was never done before. No man can doubt that the Super-Six holds the pinnacle place among motors. And there is no higher place in sight. ; After- eight months of experience, with 10,000 cars, not one important improvement in design suggests itself to our engineering corps. So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And, because 'of our patents, it will maintain its su- \ Dbremacy. n .

a smile, although the act shows to ‘what extent standpat politicians will go to deceive the public. R All the people ask for and demand is the peace and prosperity which is now ours and the best and safest plan as everyone Kknows, to perpetuate them is to reelect Wilson. - Wilson the man who to such a large extent is responsible for their existence. “The democrats promised to reduce the cost of living,” ;shouts candidate Hughes, “and what have they done? They have killed all opportunities to make a living.” ' ' That is the favorite speech of the candidate. He put it into all hisspeeches. The farmers are so busy with their new prosperity, the manufacturers are so busy trying to meet the demand by ‘day and night shifts, the skilled and } unskilled-laborer are so busy working i for the highest wages ever received, the men in the oftfices and stores are so busy taking care of the. enormous business increase that they have less time to read than they had during the enforced idleness during the twenty lean years before Woodrow Wilson ‘became president.

Candidate Hughes knows how busy and how prosperous people are, so he keeps repeating that the democrats

have made it impossible for any one to make a living in America and that we live in a “fool’s paradise” of imagined prosperity,”’ hoplng some day, somewhere, men will see and read it. Probably he means theJdemocratic party has, taken from the panicmakers of Wall Street the chance to make a living by declaring panics as they did in 1907, when Roosevelt sent Morgan $42,000,000 government money on which to make millions and pay,the people no interest for use of that much cash. These panic-makers, to Mr. Hughes, are the people. He assures vus that *‘Mr. Roosevelt aud I think alike about everything.”” He would also turn over the treasury to gamblers with license to speculate at the expense of the people.

He knows that in ordinary driving he nevér taxes half its capacity. That means long life and economy. He knows that his motor has shown boundless endurance—such has never been shown.
