Chairman Gardner Aided

ganization Has Laid Plans for Getting Oat a Large "Off Year" Vote

Tomorrow is election day. The campaign in Richmond and Wayne county has been brought to its conclusion and the "oldest inhabitant" cannot recoil"- a campaign that has been quite like it. The ut ter apathy of both Republicans and Democrat up to within ten. days ago was unusual, even for an "off year, but there has been an awakening in the Republican ranks that augurs well for the ticket, both State and Congressional and there is no longer doubt the Republican leaders say, that old Wayne tomorrow will roll up a big plurality for both tickets. Chairman Gardner who has been an Indefatigable worker has had the hearty co-operation of the county central committee members and there has been nothing left undone that would tend to Increase the interest. , Congressman Watson's great adI dress at the Coliseum Saturday night was the master-stroke of the present campaign. Because of charges utter ed against his stand on important public questions, he sought to reply io them, and it is openly asserted on all sides that he did this to the ut most satisfaction of every person within his hearing. Not only the !,000 persons who were in the ColiI seum, however, were brought under the influence of Congressman Wat son's manly declaration of principals, both personal and party, but it was plain yesterday that each of the congressman hearers had gone : forth from the Coliseum and had spread the good news. The doubts of many Republicans concerning the shortage of the vote were at once removed for representative citizens from every I part of Wayne County heard Con gressman.

CONFIDENT

by an Effective Or lican voter in the county before tomorrow. Good Weather May do Harm. Good weather tomorrow may to some extent handicap the Republicans in the rural districts for the majority of the farmers are Republicans and it is feared that some of them, will take advantage of the weather conditions to attend to farm work instead of going to the polls, even though the time lost is short. An effort will be made in every voting pre-, cinct of the county, however, to have the full strengtn of the party out. Reports from every out-township in Wayne county which were received Saturday were most encouraging to Republicans. Instead of any disaffection it was found upon reliable information that there is almost a total lack of it. The Republicans in the country districts and in the small towns are well satisfied with present I conditions a'nd do not intend to forsake the party which brought them about. Democrats Unorganized. The Democrats have practically no organization in the county and are depending upon the Republicans who are "dissatisfied" to help them outr; Though the leaders wil not admit it, there are some Democrats who are free to confess that the leaders themselves have no real hope of accomplishing any result tomorrow. The campaign was started, however, and precedent compel it to be carried out to the end. The only claim of the Democrats is that the pluralities of the Republicans will be "greatly reduced." The Republican county committee confidently expects a plurality close to the normal in this counts'. Word from every county in the Sixth Congressional district which was received Saturday and yesterday shows that conditions everywhere are rosy for the Republicans. The plurality orCongressman Watson is estimated at from 3,000 to S.S00. Tomorrow's Election Barn, South Eleventh street. TWENTIETH 235 South Eighth street.

WEEK OF NICE WEATHER THE DAYS FAIRLY WARM Record Kept at the Pumping Station Shows that The Warmest Day Was Friday and the Coldest Thursday Marks of Indian Summer. The week ending Saturday was one of fairly warm days and cold nights. Saturday was hazy, the mercury climbed to 56 at mid day and there were ear marks of Indian summer about the conditions. There were three clear days during the week, the remainder being cloudy in part or altogether. 1 The maximum temperature wa's 57 degrees on Friday; the minimum ',19 degrees in the morning of-November 1, Thursday. The record of the temperature day b yday for the week as taken by Walter Vossler, voluntary observer at the. water works pumping station is as follows: High Low October 28 43 October 29.. .. .. .. ..49 October 30.. 49 October 31 41 November 1 47 November 2 57 November 3.. 56 34 25 35 25 19 PRESIDENT KELLY HANGED IN EFFIGY Students at Earlham Awake to Find Hideous "Dummy" Hanging to Tree. IN FRONT OF DORMITORY ACTION GREW OUT OF THREAT OF AUTHORITIES TO DISMISS1 THREE FOOTBALL STARS FROM THE TEAM. Some of the students at Earlham College, sore at the authorities for threatening to suspend some of the best football players from the team because they were not keeping up their school work, Saturday night hung President Kelly in effigy. Yesterday morning the tackling "dummj-", used by the football team was found hanging in front of the college domitory, with the words, 'Prexie' painted over it in large letters. The unsightly image dangling high in air, from a rope drawn tightly about its neck was soon taken down and it is thought that in case the perpetrators of the affair are found trtey will be severely dealt with, probably expelled from the college. School spirit is running high at the college this year. The football team has not yet been scored on this year and the students j are anxious for the regular men tlb ' play, whether they are up in their j studies or not. The authorities how- j ever will not countenance tiiis and j it was only by taking heroic meas-1 ures that Carey, King and Wil&on the three main stays of the back field were able to , play Saturday. The spirit of the students has manifested itself this year in another way and that is in painting buildings, historic stones and fences. Conspicuous numerals can be seen everywhere on the college campus. . , -

MORE EVIDENCE OF JUVENILE THIEVES

Woman's Exchange on Main Street Thoroughly Ransacked Last Night. FEVw' DOLLARS WERE TAKEN ENTRANCE WAS SECURED BY THE ROBBERS THROUGH AN INSECURE WINDOW, EARLY IN THE EVENING. The Woman's Exchange and Art Goods Emporium, owned by Mrs. Mary C. Bradbury, at 1015 Main street, was entered by burglars early last evening and thoroughly ransacked. Several dollars in cash and several small articles of merchandise taken. Mrs. Bradbury has living apartments at the rear of the exchange but these evidently were not entered by the burglars, a fact which Indi; cated to the police that they rctistj have been amateurs, probably juveniles. Mrs. Bradbury left home early in the afternoon and when she returned last evening between S and 9 o'clock she discovered that the exchange had been visited during her absence. The evidence was on every side. The money drawers had been opened, their contents taken; show cases opened, their articles strewn about, and drawers beneath show cases which conaed various articles of merchandise had been ransacked. Entrance to the store room had been gained by prying open a window that looks out into a court between the exchange building and the Bee Hive grocery store. The fastenings of the window were insecure. About $5 Was Taken. Between and $3 and $5 was taken from two cash drawers and several dollars more were taken from a bandbag, the burglars leaving the handbag behind. Partly burned matches, lying upon the floor and on the tops, of . show cases, marked the trail of the burglars from oneend of the store, room to the other. , The police department was notified and Patrolman Vogelsong who investigated, expressed his belief that the work was that of boys. During the past three or four months there Lave been numerous small burglaries in Richmond and the police department believe that all or nearly all of them have been committed by juveniles. It was deemed probable last night that an arrest in connection with the Women's Exchange robbery would be made. WILLIAM BLOSE IS DEAD WAS A FORMER RESIDENT Remains Brought to This City From Chicago and Taken to the Home of Chas. Williams on South Eleventh Street. William Blose, 66 years, a former well-known and esteemed citizen of Richmond, died Saturday morning in Chicago after an illness dating from Julj Mr. Blose during his long residence in Richmond followed the carpenter's trade. About two years ago Mr. and Mrs. Blose removed to Chicago. Mr. Blose was in good health at the time of leaving Richmond and continued so up until last summer. His condition for a week or so had been such that the end was expected. The body was brought to Richmond yesterday, accompanied by the widow, and children, Miss Roxy Blose and Mr. Fred Blose. Mrs. Fred Blose also came. The bodj' was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Williams, 293 South 11th street, where friends may call at any time. The funeral will take place Wednesday morning, the cortege leaving the William's home at S:30 o'clock and proceeding to Whitewater, where services and interment will take place. Watson's New Laurels Louis Ludlow, writing for the Indianapolis Star on the recent trip of the Vice President says: "During the four days many notable speeches have been delivered by the Vice President and the veteran campaigners who are sent to assist htm, but the general verdict of those who heard all of the speeches is that Congressman James E. Watson has carried off the oratorical hon- , ors and has earned the title of Indiana's foremost orator. His speeches at South Bend and Terre Haute arose to the supreme heights of eloquence and left an imprint on the thousands of his hearers which will never be effac-

ISTERS PRAY: MAYOR LIES SICK Philadelphia Preachers Offer Prayers for the Success of Reform Party. SITUATION OF INTEREST MANY. BELIEVE THAT MAYOR WEAVER HAS SUFFERED A SSVERE COLLAPSE ON ACCOUNT OF UNIVERSAL CONDEMNATION Philadelphia, Nov. 4. -Prayers for the success of the Reform Party in the city and state elections on Tuesday, and for Mayor Weaver that he may be brought back into the Reform fold,, were offered by hundreds of preachers throughout the city today. For Mayor, Wedrers return to the ranks of the republican organization j which he so vehemently execrated a year ago, the pulpit of Philadelphia today voiced pity rather than con demnation. Preachers referred to his action as a fall from virtue and endeavored to gloss it over with the excuse that he had been misled and misguided by insincere friends. They nearly all expressed their confidence in his sincere intent in acting as he had done. Nevertheless the clergy pointed to the danger of the Mayors somersault resulting in a defeat of the reform forces for which he had stood sponsor only last year. It was a little over a year ago that these same preachers had sent hevenward their invocations that Major Weaver be guided aright in his fight against the republican political gang. He sided with the preachers then

Editor Chas. W. Stivers Brands

J. B. Gordon

The Palladium yesterday afternoon received the following communication from Charles W. Stivers, the well known editor of the Liberty Herald Editor Palladium, Richmond, Indiana: -, 'I ask space in your paper to brand J. Bennett Gordon as a liar "in the statements that he makes in the Evening Item of November 3 and what he seeks to put in Mr. Timothy Nicholson's mouth as to the matter of my attitude and support of Rcscoe E. Kirkman, Republican candidate for Joint Senator. I have been supporting Mr. Kirkman as the nominee of my party since his nomination last Spring. I wifl answer and refute Gordon's lies and slanders in due time so far as they apply to me. I take Roscoe E. Kirkman at his word 'and I believe that no Republican will have cause to regret supporting him at the election November 6. He was true and faithful as a representative in the last General Assembly and will be so in the next, as his friends verily believe. To my friends in Wayne and all counties, count me as one who never joins with such merciless liars as Gordon in hounding to death a brother overtaken in a fault; certainly not, when he acknowledges his fault and gives his word of honor for a future clean life. I challenge every conscientious voter, in Wayne and Union counties, to a vote on tomorrow that will put joy in the hearts of Roscoe E. Kirkman and his wife and daughter and give him hope for the future.- CHARLES W. STIVERS.

Mayor Weaver's illness still continues so serious that his wife said today that it is doubtful whether he will be able to be out this week and will therefore miss his chance to vote on Tuesday for the espoused party of his choice. The Impression has grown almost to a certainty now, that the mayors condition is really due" to a nervous collapse resulting from his realization of having made a mistake in declaring for the Republican ticket against the reform movement. His condemnation in the newspapers has been all but unanimous. Lamar Whitesell, a well known man of this city has purchased a half interest in the Auto Inn, on East Main street.

ONE HUNDRED MEN ACCEPTED CHRIST

IN MASS Dr. Elliott's Strong Appeal to Great Gathering at the Gennett Brought Direct Results Sunday. IS JUDGMENT HEREAFTER AS WELL AS ON EARTH Speaker Declares Men Are too Willing to Shirk Responsibility of Righteous Life Believes There is a Hell. The Gennett Theater was' packed from pit to gallery yesterday afternxu, by the men of the city who had Eone there to hear Dr. Elliott sneak on "The Hiding Places of Men." ami ever one hundred men were so- moved by the eloquent appeal, that they took a stand for Christ, when the invita-. Hon was extended to them to dc' so. Never before had a gathering of men in this city been so moved by an appeal lo live Christian lives, as they were at the meeting. In part, Dr. ElFott raid: "Just as sure as there is a judgment on thin earth, there is a judgment in the hereafter. There Mill be h time in the future when the books will be balanc ed, and judgment will be meeted out to both the worthy and the unworthy. Men should face this judgment now, and not fear it It may be unpleas ant, but you should not turn away from the unpleasant things that you j meet. Face them like a man. TurnIng away is natural to men, but you should show your manhood by facing these things and getting right with yours;? Ives.. Hell Here and Hereafter. "There is sin in the world.'... Every man knows that, if he.is not a'lunatlc or idiot." This is one of the unpleasant things , that men should face squarely. You want to deal with sin squarely and ask God to put sin away and when the judgment comes, stand with God. There Js'a Hell here on this earth and men sink into it, and just as sure as there l.va Hell here, there is a Hell in the hereafter. , "I wish to speak of some of the hiding places of men. We find some men who do not want to think about their sins. They will not go where they can hear about the sins of the earth for it sets them to thinking about their own, and hence they stay away from the truth." Dr. Elliott then went on to show the many ways in which men tried to forget their sins, and the first one upon which he dwelled was the use of drugs and splritous liquors. He sald that many men used such to prevent them from thinking of their troubles, for they were not men enough to face the sin in their right minds. They were hiding behind this sin to keep from facing the facts. He stated that no man was stroer for the using of stimulants, and the man that takes his first- drink in order that it may help hlni perform his duties, is ever as strong again, for this be- . monies a second nature, and he depends upon it to sustain hini through his work and troubles. BIG MEETJNG FOR WOMEN CAPACITY OF THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TAXED. Gentler Sex Are Told About Woman of Shunem and Urged to Emulate Her Life Unusually Touching Poem was Quoted. ; - A crowd that completely taxed th capacity of the First Presbyterian church was present at tho women's meeting which was held yesterday aft ernoon at 2 o'clock and Dr. Elliott stated last'night that he had never addressed a meeting that was as atten tive. The Sunday school room was used, and then the church could not seat the large crowd and many women stood in the hallways and doorway& and around the aisles during the entire service. Dr. Elliott addressed them on "A Great Woman," taking his text from II Kings, 4:S, "A Great Woman." He told the story of the woman who had lived in the village of Shunem, and dwelt on her great characteristics, they being, first, her greatness in seeing an opportunity; second, her greatness in perception of character; third, her greatness of the simplicity of her life, and fourth, her great faith in the time "of calamity. The entire address was an appeal to the women to take the Woman of Shunem as a model, and mould their lives aft- - er the great traits of character of which the woman was the possessor. In closing his address the speaker urged the women to go to a greater prophet than Isaiah, the man to whom the woman appealed, a prophet no other than Jesus. The women at the meeting were swept into the land of
