1 As we read from day to day of the laagers made on the election, sometimes a few hundred dollars and then a few thousand dollars, at the great "dds of five to one in favor of Theof ore Roosevelt, the fact is entirely

lost sight of that the American people during these autumn days pf

1904 wagering millions and billions of '(iollars' on the election to take place next' week. ' The election financiers of the country who are investing their capital so confidently in the great undertakings never considered are doing so in the belief that Theodore Roosevelt will be elected, and that the present administration in Washington will be continued for another four years. The farmers of the country are wagering almost their entire resources upon this election, the business men who are investing so largely in the belief that they will find ready purchasers J at profitable prices for their, gpods, the transportation companies . . which ore giving greater orders than ever before for locomotives and cars and other facilities to carry the immense amount of business which they expect to handle during the coming months, and even the vast army of wage-earners who are making improvements in their homes or who ar investing in the little comforts for the family circle, or who are perhaps sending their sons and daughters to school and college, all these people from the most important captains; of industry down to the workers in the humblest walks cf life, are wagering at great odds that Theodore Roosevelt will be elected on the 8th of November. But, strange to say, there are thousands if not millions of men who will be deluded into voting for Judge Parker, who at the same time, perhaps unconsciously but none the less effectively, are wagering almost their entire property upon the election which they cannot win unless Theodore Roosevelt is elected and with him a Republican House of Represen tatives The odds which are maintained in this soil of betting arc incalculable. Should Judge Parker be elected we should see a repetition -.of the conditions of 1802 and 1SJW and the three or four years following, when the American people lost billions of dollars in wealth,-in wages" and in 'material resources. On the other hand, should the Republican party be suecessf ul the American people will not only retain what they have won' under the administrations, of McKinley and Roosevelt, but they, will go on increasing the wealth of the nation, the wealth of -the States and '.thet t unity to get that position. oBREWER LOCATED Will Coach Football for Shortridge I High School. Kenneth Brewer, erstwhile coach of the Earlham football team, has found another place. He started in coaching the Shortridge High School team at Indianapolis yesterday. afternoon. Brewer was coach at Shortridge last year and it was through his influence that so many good football men from Shortridge went to Indiana University and made good, he being aii aluminus of that school. Mr. Brewer will pull Shortridge through if he has the material to work with. They all know his style of playing so there will be nothing new to learn. HALLOWE'EN Enjoyed by a Large Party at Home of William Rich. One, of the largest Hallowe'en parlies last night was held at the residence of William Rich, north of tlie city. The party was given in i i - i i xct'oo -Tr.i honor of his daughter, Miss Marjone. . . - - . . - , . About twenty couples from the city j I j .!; u , , rtl,j drove out during the. evening and enjoyed thcmesel ves in old-fashioned Hallowe'en pranks. Apples and cider were in abundance and the crowd did, not get home until early this morning. Charles O. Edgerton, of Rushville, was here to attend the Griffiths meeting.

J FEW UPSETS IM FOOTBALL DOPE TEAMS PLAY TO FORM IN LAST SATURDAY'S CONTESTS EARLHAM All ALSO RAN De Panw's Defeat Looked for and Indiana's Showing Was a Decided Surprise. Those football dopesters who looked for a few upsets in last Saturday's games in Indiana had their anticipations only partially fulfilled. The fellows who predicted Indiana's defeat at the hands xf Ohio University were disappointed, and the ones who thought De Pauw had even a look in with; Coach McCormack's Northwestern eleven al?o had a shaking up. ' ' ,v ' -Indiana's game with Ohio State showedvthat Home's men are play ing the frame. The fact that neither goal line was crossed is an apparent indication of weakness; but it must be remembered that Indiana this year has an almost entirely green team, and that their opponents have had plenty of experience; that they had the weight and speed, and showed good coaching. The fact that many "experts" picked the Buckeye team for winners in Saturday's game shows that Indiana must have played a much better game than was expected of them.. Hare displayed marked ability as a place kicker, winning the game by his two field goals. ; The next big State game will be that between Purdue and Indiana at Washington park one week from next Saturday. Coach Cutt's men are reported to be in a dissatisfied frame of mind over the poor showing of the Boilermaker so far this season. On the contrary, Home's squad looks up to the coach as a sort of deity, and no trouble has been experienced at Indiana in keeping them in the best of condition and spirits. Unless a decided reversal of form should occur at both Purdue and Indiana in tlie next two weeks it would appear that the Blooming-tori contingent stands an excellent' chance of carry-i ing off: arhe honors among Indiana schools. ' '' Wabash has apparently clinched its claim on the secondary championship of the State,; although there is still room for a surprise in the gamy with Pmtier. The Irvingtoniaiis'have, this year put together a team that for the first time in several years "shows a knowledge of the game and the ability to put the knowledge to practical use. Perhaps the change m coaches has something to do with the altered form at least a great many of the students are of this opinion. While such an event is not to b seriously anticipated, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that Butler may this year take the measure of Coach Cayou's Crimson team. To use the slang of the turf, Earlham has had the "distance" flag flaunted before her and is now in the class of Franklin, Hanover and other "al so rans, JOCKEY CLUB Of Hot Springs Has Meeting at Essex Park. Hot Springs, Ark., October 31. The Hot Springs Jockey Club, which last winter made its debut with a successful meeting of twenty-one days at Essex Park, announces approximately its dates for a thirty-day meeting to commence early in January; also its opening for entry of a list of stakes, some of which are of guaranteed value and others sweepstakes with added monev. . The announcement is made through the medium of a handsome souvenir stake book, illustrated with scenes at j . . . . r Essex Park and of the surrounding . . ! count rv, pictures of the Ozark mounl 1 lams, anu pnoiogmpus ot ine ouicials of the Jockey Club. Among these- illustrations is a large birds-eye view of the tracks at Essex Park, showing the two chutes that are among the principal features of this new racing plant. Dne of these chutes gives a straight course of three furlongs for the two-year-old racing in January and February, and the doing away with starting en "a "turn and consequent runnintr the voungsters around a bend is

-" A FAIR PLAY FOR ALL" Th! Is Mr. Hanly's Attitude Toward Labor ard Capital. (From Labor Day address of Hon. J. Frank Hanly. Republican candidate for, Governor.) "While 1 have no prejudice against corporations, and believe that they should be fairly and justly treated, I can truthfully say that I am under no personal obligation to any corporation In all the country beyond that imposed by the law and by the interest of society upon every citizen, and which is due. alike to every person under the law, real or artificial. As a lawyer I have never been engaged as the counesl of a corporation at. any. time, excepting now and then -a. local banking Institution or" a municipal corporation. With that exception I have never received a salary or an emolument in all my life from any one of the many corporations In the state In which I live, nor was I ever in the employ of any one of them. My clientage has always been among the people. Prior to April 6, 1889, the date of my admission to the practice of the law, I was a day laborer, engaged in a class of labor as arduous and real as that in which any man is engaged in the state of Indiana today. Sixteen, years ago I stood in the ditch earning my bread with spade and shovel. ' I am moved to speak of this only that you may know that more than two-thirds of my life has been spent in the ranks of unskilled labor, and that by birth, by association, by environment and by personal experience1 my sympathies are forever linked with those who toil. My closest friends are now and ever-have been among the masses, the poor, the humble, the "hewer: of :ooil and the drawers of water." A man can not forget the associations and ties of a lifetime In an hour. Nor can he cease to be moved and influenced by the impulses born and the opinions formed while fighting for his bread by daily toil. "I have known what it meant to be hungry, without tood to satisfy my hunger, to be cold without sufficient clothing to keep mer warm; to long for knowledge without the means to obtain It In even the common schools of the state, and to aspire to participation in my country's affairs without family name or influence. I have walked step by step the toilsome way the children of the poor must walk and have looked many times upon the comforts, the luxuries and the pleasures of the rich, knowing that I could do no more than look. "But even at such times my heart was cheered, my toil sweetened and my purpose steadied by the knowledge that' other men amid environments like unto my own had risen, supreme and masterful, to eminence and to place and power." ." $ 'V& ?$ ? $ ? State issues in Indiana are $ summed up In this:- The state ;xlebt has been reduced $5,618,- $ . .COO in nine years of Republican :g control of fiscal and legislative affairs. The total state tax levy has averaged 15 per cent 3 ;less during the present period t of Republican control than dur.?3 ing the last period of Demo- S cratic control of state affairs, $ and yet the annual, payments & on i . the state debt from the general fund have been nearly three times larger & during the Republican period than during the Democratic 3 period. From 1894, a year of Democratic control of the State .$ Board of Tax Commissioners, to 1904, a year of Republican 9 control, the valuation of rail- 4 road and other corporate prop- & 4 ' erty was increased 21 per cent; 'of farm lands and Improveroents, 10' per cent. Not only 3 the, relative, but the actual & amount of state taxes paid on 4 the average acre of farm land In Indiana today is less than it was ten years ago. ' ' A VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN 4 STATE AND LEGISLATIVE fr CANDIDATES IS A VOTE FOR DEBT REDUCTION AND TAX REDUCTION. " S 4To stay away from the polls, at the least, "is to give aid and encouragement' to the enemy. If two Republicans stay at home on election day the enemy has gained a vote. Every vote withheld is half a vote for the opposition. A vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks means a vote for business-like management in the conduct of the affairs of the government. A vote for Frank Hanly and the local legislative ticket means a vote for a business-like management in the affairs of the state. ? 4 4 J $ & 8 Q The issues of 1904 are the issues cf 1892 over again; the same element is dominant in & ? the Democratic party which controlled it then; it presents ? the same program of reform.'

PARKER'S BACKERS

Chief Amon Thsm is !hs Standard Oil Company. THE HANDlWOaK OF MONOPOLY The Reerganizer Candidate Will Go Into Office if Elected, Pledged to Do the Bidding cf the Giant Corporation Which Procured His Nomination Wall Stret 'nterests Attempted to Procure the Defeat of Roosevelt, and. Falling in This, Secured a Can didate of Their Own. (By Thomas W. Lawson.) (Written in Everybody's Magazine In reply to a letter which asked him why he supported Roosevelt.) I am going to vote for TheoJore Roosevelt for president of the United States, and with all my heart I pray God that he will be elected. Partisan politics is no part of my story, and I would not now enter upon the subject, especially on the ; eve ot-a; national election, if I had not. in. the light of many such letters as yours, come to believe it a sacred duty. While I am Republican by birth, education, envir onment and habit, I am one of those Americans whose, blood thrills at the war cry of but one great party, "ray country's." It is of no moment to me whether a :nan be s. Republican, a Democrat, or a Bryauite. provided he is above all these "an American." Either Theodore Roosevelt or Alton B. Parker is to be the next president of the United States, and in my opinion it is a solemn duty for every man who puts his love of country beyond all else to vcte for one or the other, because in this particular election there are most vital principles at stake Ordinarily it is right and proper lor the Populist, the Socialist, and the Prohibitionist to register his vote tor the principle he believes in, even though he knows it will not influence tho election of either of the leaders of the two great parties,, but not so this year If Theodore Roosevelt is not elected Alton B. Parker will be, -and if he is what will his election mean lo the people of America? Standard Oil Against Roosevelt. Now what will happen if Parker is elected? In answering I will not guess I will state facts, things I know to be facts Theodore Roosevelt, while president of.the United States, refused to allow Standard Oil to run nini, and Standard Oil got . hotter and hotter; but not daring to rage openly, how they did spit fire "on the quiet!" If I have lis tened once. I have listened twenty times while Mr. Rogers raved at "that " well, I won't use his xact language, -it woeidn't.be respectful to our president. ' At last as in all such cases, there came an absolutely not to be borne trampling on Standard Oil dignity, and Theodore Roosevelt was on the sys tem's" blacklist until eternity. Mr. Rogers called me to New York in con nection with some' other business. 1 found him in a terribly excited mood "What do you think that fellow Roose velt has doue no-ft ? Young John Rockefeller telegraphed him to give an audience to Archibold on tho trust matter. Roosevelt saw be had us and "played some of his dirty nolitics. He sent tor r.ia:jager of the Western Associated Press ant! had him agree to publish the elegram in the west, keeping it out of the east, and to pub lish it as having been seat by Mr. Rockefeller iust'-ad of that unthinking boy, and, oj course, you have seen it in the papers; its everywhere how he kicked Standard Oil out of the White house. That is his last insult to us, and we will defeat him at any cost.' How Parker Was Selected. From that time on Mr. Rogers' able brain was working day and night, first to get John Hay to run against Roose velt, next Root, then Mark Hanna, but owing to one of those complicated entanglements that old Dame Fate now and then reels out of her crotchet bas ket to the bewilderment of slick mor tals, his efforts went for naught, and he was compelled to fall back on a more dangerous and expensive plan. He laid out on his campaign table the "most available" (what worlds of eel skin political piety those two "words cover!) Democrats, and it didn't take him long to make hit. selection of man who would, if president of the United States, allow those who put him there to "run the shop." When his selection was made he called in his faithful hired man. Sena tor "Pat" McCarren. of , Brooklyn, N, Y., and gave his orders, the same kind of orders as he gives for the purchase of an oil well or the knocking In the head of a business rival; or'the setting up of an amalgamated knock-down-and-drag-out "Co herer "Go there!" "Buy this!" '"Sell that!" "Billy Sheehan to captain that' company, : and Davf Hill to dig that mine!" Parker Machine Well Made. In short order the venture was all covered to its finality, and there has never been a slip of a cog or the ungearing of a w!)-el that wa? not fore seen and provided for.

A special appeal is being made for Republican votes on behalf of John W. Kern, Democratic candidate for governor, and the representation has been made that he is not a hidebound partisan. -x. " " 5 Here, is what Candidate RCW called the late Governor Jas A. Mount in an interview published In the Indianapolis News of Nov. 7. 1900: "The little creature who, during the past four years, has brought disrespect to the state by the most inefficient and worst administration the state has ever had." $ i -' $ AN EMBARRASSING CONFESSION. Zealous Parker Man Thinks Bryan a Danger to the Party. In the course of a political campaign the truth will come out at moments and in quarters most unexpected. Some members of the party more hon est and candid than the rest will speak out and utter truths that must be most embarrassing to the party and which.. like a flash of lightning, reveal objects and purposes that before were shrouded in grateful darkness. Such effects must have been produced by the utter ances of the honest and able editor of the South Bend Times, one of the most Influential x Democratic newspapers la northern Indiana, and these utterances are worthy of more than a passing no1 a rnndition of things within the ranks of the Dem ocratic party suggestive of its hope less dissension and decadence. V Mr. J. B. Stoll, the editor'-of the Times, comes out openly in advocacy of the election of Parker ana uavis, not on the ground that; they stand for principles of measures which are not also advocated by Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but for this one and. chief reason: that the election of Parker will effectually and permanently kill Bryan and all that Bryan represents in the past and will represent in the fu- . . V. n . (1,1,, tw Qtnit lure. yiuuii uiuci iuiuj,i, . says: "Parker and Davis, trlumpnant in November, will put a quietus on the radical departure foreshadowed by Mr. Bryan. An engaging personality and persuasive eloquence may, under certain conditions, popularize a project fraught with- incalculable danger to our institutions and lead to the destruction of the republic Itself." Thus it is plain how Mr. Bryan's past and future Democracy is valued by.the friends of Parker, yet Mr. Bryan was invited to stump Indiana oa the tbeorv that he could Induce his former followers to vote for the very candidate whose election will put the stamp of condemnation on all that ha ever did and advocated, and upon the good Judgment, intelligence and pa triotism oi ail nis inemiB anu Buppwiers, telling them, in effect.- that they have been nothing less than enemies of the republic. We may have all the speeches and II the logic and all the burning elo quence and all the brass bands and all the enthusiasm and all the attendance at all the meetings, but the whole thing taken together won't amount to a tinker's picayune unless we get out the vote get every vote Into the box and have it marked In such a way tnat fhere will be absolutely no pretext for throwing It out. . If so many menr had not been too busy to do their dutyf on election day in 1892, they would not have had so much leisure time in which to wmK about their mistake during the sueceeding four years. Don't ! commit the crime of 92 over . ' again. . . - A VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN STATE AND LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES IS A VOTE ! AGAINST THE STATE DEBT I AND IN FAVOR OF A LOWv 1 ERED TAX LEVY. V
