Foulke last night. His intimate knowledge of "Roosevelt and Taft made his words authoritative. Mr. Foulke's well i known and declared independent republicanism form a background of honesty such as is rarely heard in political speeches, so that every word was fraught with intense meaning. When he told why Bryan is not the Roosevelt candidate, of why Taft was put forward by Roosevelt and "of why, above any candidate who has been nominat d, William Howard Taft Is the best prepared for the office, Mr. Foulke gave the clearest explantion which could be given. It was a masterpiece of convincing argument When Mr, Foulke compared Taft, the well prepared man, and cited his training as a lawyer, Judge, governor and diplomat to say nothing of his special services in other departments, he showed that Taft was not the creature of personal ambition, but on the contrary that he was pressed Into service by the call of duty alone. And, nomination for chief executive for duty alone. What a contrast to his opponent. The vacillating man 0j opponent, the vacillating man of dreams who has done nothing of permanent value for his country! In regard to the trust question the speaker was pitiless in his logical arraignment of the democratic platform. In his bands the folly of the 25 'per cent and the 50 per cent theory was apparent by its clumsiness" and Its lack of final results. What we want is real regulation along the lines of the present railroad bill. Co aooarent la

His hearers were men of all walks j This Is simply a scheme to humbug ' of life ranging from local prohibi-1 the American people by the profession j

tionist to liauor dealers. Yet we ven ... . . . , ! ture to say that not one but felt the , logic of his remarks. He presented . the question so that it showed the in- j herent justice of it in an unmistakable way. He found nothing to recommend in Marshall's attitude of evasive statements on local option, and though he criticized as many do the course of j Watson in congress he showed that inasmuch as the two men represented their parties that Watson was stronger. He did not stop at that but showed that In comparison with Marshall Watson was frank and outspoken and that whatever may have been his re cord in congress that it had nothing to do with ideas at stake. If this is the opinion of an independent man speaking frankly Watson Indeed deserves the whole hearted support of his party. Perhaps next to the presidency is the election of a republican congress. The necessity Is apparent. Mr. Foulke's indorsement of Barnard was the feat ure of the speech. That was the real issue last night and Mr. Foulke has strengthened confidence in Barnard which he deserves. It was a strong, logical speech, without cobwebs of evasion or trick ery. FOULKE SUPPORTS JAMES I WATSON IN PUBLIC SPEECH (Continued From Page One.) to have it rolled back to a lower depth than ever. Personal ambition he would surrender, but not the public welfare. The great work must go on; it must go on under the leadership of one able to conduct it to a successful issue. Therefore it was close to his heart that his successor should be a man competent and willing to carry out the policies he had Inaugurated and which the people had approved. He knew better than any other hu man being the man who was best qualified for the task. He knew who had been the most valuable man in carrying out the good work of his own administration. For years that man had sat at his council board; he knew the inmost workings of his heart. Hence the president said in effect to the people of this country: "If you want my policies perpetuated, here Is the man." Mr. Roosevelt has been bitterly criticised for advocating the nomination of Taft. He would have neglected his supreme duty had he failed to tell, he would have flinched from his highest opportunity had he failed to tell us clearly and unequivocally who was the best man to carry out his policies. There is nothing equivocal about Theodore Roosevelt; he said what he believed. The people took him at his word and William Howard Taft Is the candidate of the Republican party. No man ever came to the presidential office with such an equipment. Washington had been merely a soldier, Lincoln a country lawyer. Taft has been not only a lawyer and judge but a governor of a vast province with nearly ten millions of Inhabitants, a diplomat and cabinet minister, the head of a department performing the most important administrative duties of the government. In everything he has tried he has been successful, and he has solved some of the most diffi-

cult problems ever presented to hu-lug

man ingenuity and tact. It is a good thing for the president to be a lawyer and to understand the way that the law has of looking at social problems. And yet if a man be nothing but a lawyer he may not make a good president; a mere judicial or legal career narrows a man's horizon. Our, greatest presidents have not been those who have been greatest at the bar. To round out a statesman a great deal else is needed, executive ability, tact in dealing with men, deep human sympathy, a broad horizon and executive will. These are exactly the things Mr. Taft pre-eminently possesses.. What have we upon the other side? The greatest talker and dreamer of

modern times, a man whose title to of-1 ers who must grant or refuse the IIfice Is his persistence in spite of his I cense. It is the county prosecutor who

own overthrow of nearly ah the polit ical chimeras to which he had sought to harness his car the free coinage of silver, the bogy of anti-imperialism, the initiative and referendum and the government ownership of railways. But most impossible of all is his project for the extermination of the trusts embodied in the Denver platform. Will some of my democratic friends tell me one good thing apart from his speeches that Bryan has ever done for the American people? He is the epitome of abandoned policies, Taft of those that have already been engrafted In legislation or are now in process of accomplishment Perhaps Bryan's empty record ls not altogether his fault He has been kept , from accomplishing his pernicious pur poses oy tne voice or tne people which relegated him to private life. And yet In spite of their repeated decisions against him, he now pretends that the issue of this campaign is the question, "Shall the People Rule?" He may feel assured that they will. Matter for Contribution. A great furore has been made by Mr. Bryan In regard to campaign contributions. The democratic party demands the names of the contributors must be published. Mr. Taft accedes to the demand, but Bryan claims that

' or. virtue, wnlcn neitner party pos-

eesses. Does any one imagine that the can(JIdates 8upported bjr Tammany hall wouid jose anything In the way of contributions because Murphy's, Ryan's or Ingall's contributions had to be divided into a hundred fractions before it could be kept secret. Th rpal thintr which thi nuhllc has a right to know is not so much who i contributes, which they never can Hnow' - 83 bow' the money is expended ana upon tms sunject neitner sir. Bryan or his party proposes one word of enlightenment. Question Is of Trusts. The overshadowing Issue in this campaign, as the democrats tell us, is the duty of freeing the government from the grip of those who have made it a business asset cf the favor seeking corporation. If this be true, the chief interest will center around the great question of the trusts. In regard to this question the Denas much as 25 per cent of the product eral license for corporations doing, an interstate business, and controlling os much as 25 per cent of the product in which Jt deals. The license is to prohibit the control of more than 50 per cent of the product. It is safe to say that "eye hath not seen, neither hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive" a crazier project for the abolition of the trusts. By what provision of omniscient insight is it to be determined when the corporation controls 25 per cent of the products of the industry In which it is engaged. To settle tha't would require a special census all to itself. Thousands and perhaps millions of dollars would be necessary for the investigation of the preliminary question, whether a given corporation ought to be required to take out a license, and then when it takes out a license, what good ls done? The license prohibits the control of more than CO per cent of the total amount of any product consumed In the United States. Another census bureau would have to be established to ascertain when that point is reached. The license corporations are oscillate between 25 per cent and 50 per cent. But suppose they go too far and reach 55 or 60 per cent, what can you do then? Why you can dissolve the corporation just as you can under the Sherman law and it will then divide into its constituent parts, and the owners and directors will organize a new corporation, not under their own names, but with their wives, brothers, children, personal friends and business associates, who will 6tart a "competing" concern, and carry on the business and oppress the public just as before. This is the, most elaborate and expensive scheme for accomplishing nothing which has ever found entrance into the brain of any human being. This is Bryanls platform. On the other hand Taft will continue to carry out the policy of Roosevelt. That policy Is well known; it is government regulation of these extensive industries rather than annihilation upon the one hand or government ownership upon the other. Such a policy is reasonable; it has already been tried in respect to the national h.ni-c i Mr, triPd in rei tr, Ia a i n,.A w : ictliiUctua au ix ii 10 uuuuu w u7 nitu hereafter in respect to other great trusts which monopolize business. It does not call for the destruction of property or industry, but simply for a reformatlonn of abuses-. The republican platform represents essential sanity and practical good sense as contrasted with the vaporlngs of a man and a party whose career has consisted wholly in idle Imaginings and not in the record of accomplished fact. About County Option. The republican state platform demands county local option. Many not only among the ranks of the radical who are not ' ourseives abstainers. believe that this furnishes the wisest and most practical temperance measure, now attainable far more practical than state prohibition itself for the best temperance measure is the strongest law which is capable of enforcement. State prohibition is not of this class it will be enforced in the counties which desire it. it will be utterly nugatory in those which do not desire it and in those places the disregard for this law will breed contempt for every other law and thus undermine the fabric of society. For it is the county (not the state, the township or the ward) which is the political unit for the enforcement of the law. It is the county commissionprosecutes for the violation of the law; the grand jury which indicts and the petit jury which convicts or ac quits is drawn from the county and to a great extent (as In Wayne county) the judge who administers the law ls

chosen by the voters of the county; the sheriff who must execute the judgment of the court when rendered Is a county officer-since it is the county which must enforce the restrictions against the sale of liquor, it ia proper for the county to determine what those restrictions shall be They can

iuuiousui? same political body wnicn aemanas them Is the body which has the power to carry them out and the county ls the smallest unit which can make Bucb. restrictions effectual. To prohibit saloons in a ward, or a township is of little use when they can be established just across the street or the township line County local option. however is more effective the bulk of the population cannot well go to an adjoining county to quench its thirst Hence the republican party adopted the strongest temperance platform conceivable. The democratic platform local option by townships and wards is a great change in the views of a party which has heretofore opposed "all I sumptuary legislation." But it means l that in the face of the tidal wave for temperance which is eVeeping the county, the democrats of Indiana intend so far as they can to "stand pat". The township and the ward may now prohibit liquor selling; they can do nothing more under a township local option law. So you have the question fairly presented. Will you stay as you are, or will you give the county the right to prohibit the sale of liquor? And as to Watson. Upon this "paramount" issue, Watson is the republican candidate for governor and Marshall is the democratic candidate. Now Watson is a man whose views, in many ways I do not share. I do not think that he represented us correctly, when in the last session of congress he sought the early adjournment of that body and seemed desirous, with, the remainder of the Cannon organization of "giving the country a rest" as they called it, from the aggressive reforms demanded by Theodore Roosevelt He told us two years ago that he was a Roosevelt republican, but he wasn't quit enough of a Roosevelt republican to co-operate heartily in things the presi dent wanted done. Some of the criticism against him however, ls unjust. He could not have given us that measure of tariff reform which many of our merchants' and manufacturers demanded. The tariff schedules are things bo vast and complicated that if you once introduce them into congress they will absorb the entire attention of that body and all other things, even more important things, must stand aside. Hence President Roosevelt himself, although he has been long in favor of tariff amendment, postponed it until the great moral issues awakened by the trusts and by the depredations of pre datory wealth, should first have been started well upon their way. Therefore I do not blame Mr. Watson for not urging upon congress, tariff amendments which he could not secure. . He might indeed have "made a record" on behalf of his constltu ents by introducing bills to be de feated. But the real work of a con gressman should be to accomplish something attainable and if he could not do this, we should not find fault with him for not advocating the im possible. My own difference with him is on other matters. I have been earnestly opposed to the patronage system of appointments to office and have been a warm advocate of the civil service reform law which has taken away the patronage from congressmen and has made public employment depend up on proved qualifications rather than "influence." Now Mr. Watson has opposed the extension of this law to the rural free delivery service and to other places to which it was applicable and has in private conversations and elsewhere denounced the competitive system as a fraud. I have found that in political life, the men who depend upon spoils for political nutriment are not those whom we can best trust for disinterested patriotism. The real statesman is he who stands upon his own merits and not upon the plunder which he can distribute among "the boys." I confess therefore that if James E. Watson were to come before us now as a candidate for congress with his halting record as a civil service reformer and supporter of the Roosevelt policies, I would not vote for him as the representative of the Sixth district, if there were any reasonable alternative. But he is not a candidate for congress. He ls a candidate for governor of the state of Indiana upon a platform in which I believe and to which, in his Ft. Wayne speech he has promised his heartiest concurrence. Mr. Marshall, his democratic competitor, stands upon a platform advocating the township and ward unit for local option. I feel bound upon this issue to support Mr. Watson. Moreover he has assured us that he is in full sympathy with the nonpartisan management of our benevolent Institution and will not consent to vasy It He declares that anyone who would repeal or weaken this principle should be subject to the

Palladium and

The last few days there has been much new interest taken in the Palladium and Sun-Telegram's want ad contest. This is evidenced by the increased number of want ads on our want ad. page. The advertising public are receiving results from their advertising and are realizing more and more the advantage of placing an advertisement among the want ads of the Palladium and Sun-Telegram. The cheapest and best paying advertising in the world is newspaper classified advertising and the users of Palladium and Sun-Telegram Want Ads agree with us that this paper's Want Ads. give far greater results than any other paper in the City of Richmond. When yoi consider that for a few pennies you can place an advertisement in the homes of over 5,000 families and thus, counting five to a family, the paper is read daily by over 25,000 people, the results must necessarily be greater than our charge of one cent per word would lead one to think. Resolve to call at each house or store in your district; your work will be liberally rewarded and you will receive advertisements enough, to increase your vote considerably. If your name appears below and you are not credited with the largest number of votes in your district, make an effort today to bring to our office at least one ad and if you are willing to work, we have no doubt but that it will be possible for you to brinig at least one advertisement to our office each day during the remainder of the contest. If this is done, you will stand a very good show of winning the handsome prize which will be given in each district in which a contest is carried on. Remember, the contestant credited with thf first $1 0.00 worth of ads receives a commission of 50 per cent or a prize of $5.00 for their efforts. ( This contest is not necessarily a small child's contest. Any boy or girl in school, in high school, or even in college, can participate. The older the contestant is, the greater their chances for success. The art of "want ad' soliciting is a business to which many men devote years of study and naturally the contestant experiences some set-backs. The way to win out in any&ing you undertake is to remember and act upon the old maxim, "If at first.you don't succeed, try, try again," and it is just such boys and girls as this who are rewarded with success, not only in their first undertaking, but in their after life of business, so let us all make a new start today with the determination not only to be the successful one in this contest, but to make it a success in every undertaking in life. There is still an opportunity for anyone to enter the contest in the districts below and if the proper amount of energy is displayed in soliciting want ads there is a splendid chance for the last one entering to be the one to win out at the end. Anyone wishing to enter the contest now is entitled to 200 votes for the first ad brought to this office. Below is set forth the standing of the contestants in their respective districts

scorn and contempt of all right thinking people. In spite of some past derelictions I am ready to take him at his word, for I feel sure he Is not prepared to encounter the scorn which he thus imprecates upon himself. Contrast to Marshall. His explicit declaration that he will support county local option stands out in shining contrast with the equivocation of Mr. Marshall upon this subject It may not be a very important matter whether the governor signs or vetos the bill, but sometimes a veto is effective if the question be very close, particularly if it be on the last days of the session when ther is no opportunity to pass the bill over the veto. The people of Indiana have at least a right to know how their candi- ! dates stand upon this question. Mr. ; Watson tells us that he will favor county local option and asks his op ponent to say whether or not he will sign or veto a county local option billNow I could respect Mr. Marshall If he would make a clear and explicit declaration either' way. u If he were to say "I would veto the bill," he would only be standing with his party, which is opposed to local option by counties. If he would say "I will sign a proper county local option bill," I would also respect him as being a man independent enough to support his own convictions against his party, or practical enough to take some other kind of local option if he could not get the particular kind he wanted. Nothing would be inexcusable, except an effort to trick the people or to conceal his position, but this is exactly what Mr. Marshall does. He says "I will make no promise' to sign any bill until "I have read its contents." Of course not, but how does he stand upon the question? Suppose a bill for county local option be a proper one in Its details, does he approve the principle of it? Will he veto every bill for county local option, no matter what its contents? The man who has glvea this shuffling answer is not of a timber sufficiently tough and strong to fill the chair once occupied by Oliver P. Morton. Hanly and Extra Session. Within the past few days a new question has been projected into Indiana politics by Gov. Hanly's call for a special session to consider now, right in the midst of the campaign a county local option bilL I think I can understand the reasons that have led him to this determination. The public welfare the cause of temperance Itselfhas had very little to do with it He belongs to that class of men who sometimes advocate the best of measures from the most unworthy of motives, we in Wayne county understand pretty well his sincerity as a reformer.'

He has recommended many things that are good but in spite of his recommendations he is little trusted by those who know him. Whatever may be the shortcomings of Mr. Watson, his character, should he reach the executive chair, will sparkle in Bhlnlng contrast to that of his predecessor. Hanly was becoming politically extinct In Indiana. His oratorical outburst at the Chicago convention, when his sentences were punctured by that gigantic yawn, and by the simultaneous clapping of hands of the vast audience seemd to be the last notes of this dying swan. But he determined to galvanize himself into new life. What so appropriate for this purpose as his power to call the legislature In special session? The republicans had declared for local option. Let him call a special session and he might gain by it either way. If the legislature passed the bill, Hanly might become So For Just Writing the

But if the legislature should fall to pass the law. then the republicans would show that they did not mean what they said In their platform, the hated Watson and the still more hated Ooodwine might be beaten.
