HOPE TO BREAK GENERAL APATHY

Political Managers of Both Parties Find People Disinterested. MANY INDEPENDENTS. POLL TAKERS ENCOUNTER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS, MANY PEOPLE REFUSING TO STATE HOW THEY WILL VOTE. Indianapolis, Sept. lG.-Politlcal managers on both sides are complaining about the lack of interest in the campaign. It is said that while there has been a lively demand for speakers, demands come largely from party organizers, party chairmen, etc The crowds that have turned out to hear the speakers have been smaller than ever before known at this stage of a national political campaign. With seven weeks of campaigning ahead, there seems little prospect that the voters will be stirred to any unusual degree, although every device known to politics and political organization has been adopted to break up the apathy. Of course the voters greatly desire to bear Taft and Bryan, especially the former, and whatever demand there may be for other speakers seems to be the outcome largely of curiosity a desire to see and listen to the arguments of some celebrity like Hughes or Folk. It is only necessary to talk to the workers who are taking the sixty day poll to account for this apparent lack of Interest. In a conversation with one of these your correspondent was told that the list of independent or what is classed on the books as doubtful voters is unprecedented. "I do not believe," said this poll taller, "that there was ever such a large percentage of Independent voters as In the present battle. By independent voters, I mean voters who decline to cay how they- intend to vote. Dozens 'of voters whom I have approached have declined to tell what they intend to do at the polls. In every case I ask the old, stereotyped question 'What are youf politics?' In answer to this, when I run across one of these independents I am told something like this: 'I am a ctrict party man. Then I ask, 'Do you mind saying how you Intend to vote?' Then comes the reply accompanied by a smile, 'O, that's different. How do I intend to vote? Really, now, that's where I've got you.' And he has. "The only thing to do is to put him down as doubtful and let it go at that. I am convinced, however that these conditions are not general, as the situation in Marlon county is unusual. Tnere Is the graft scandal that is bound to hurt the republicans, while the democrats have a legislative ticket in this county that is decidedly objectionable to the better element of the voaers. And so the situation is all cut up, and no man can tell what la going to happen in Marion county at least." Three democratic poll takers told a similar story to the above. They , said it had been very difficult, and in many cases impossible, to get the voters to give a frank statement of what they proposed doing at the polls. Everything seemed to be up in the air on the democratic side, one of these asserted. There is little political talk. Nobody seems to care about arguing the merits of any candidate, and altogether the situation is a puzzle to the political managers. Acquiring Philosophy. A housekeeper who had rather a mall stock of patience went Into her kitchen one day to direct the preparation of dinner. Bhe, found George, her Japanese cook, poring over a book. "What are you reading?" she asked. "Schopenhauer," George replied. "Do you think you can understand such philosophy?" the mistress inquired. "Yes, honorable madam. I understand it I apply It When you come to tell me how to cook It is good to remember what the white man says about women. I read here, then I not mind what you sr.y." BH'mnn. . Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith of Dayton were in the city yesterday the guests of local relatives and friends.

COUNTY LOCAL OPTION IS NOT A NEW IDEA

A contest for county local option Is now in the air and in full blast and to hear and read the claims made by some, one would be led to believe that this Idea is new and the product of these later days, which historically, is not correct The facts are these: In 1886 the republican party, in its state platform, declared in favor of local option, pledging itself if put in control of the legislature it would enact such a statute. It was at the election of that year the writer was elected a member of the general assembly and when that body met in 1887, he introduced a carefully prepared local option bill, embodying the county unit feature, including the township and ward idea. The bill was referred to the committee on temperance, of which he was chairman and after due consideration, the committee endorsed the said bill and recommended Its passage. It was so reported and passed the house by a majority of five, if the writer is not mistaken as to the number. Five democrats voting for the same. It failed In the senate, as that body was democratic and unfriendly to such legislation. The bill provided that on the petition of 20 per cent of the voters of any county, the board of county commissioners should fix a time when the qualified voters of said county should vote upon the question of the sale or no sale of Intoxicants in the county so voting. That if a majority voted no sale then no sale should be had for two years therein, and if for sale, then to be sold under the restraints and restrictions provided. The bill provided that the time of taking said vote was to be ninety days removed from any general, county, township or municipal election so as to strip it of any and all political bias. It has been the view of the writer for many years that the temperance question is not properly, or legitimately a party question and that where a vote is to be taken thereon it should bei ndependent of any partyism. If the special session or the coming regular session of the legislature should enact a county local option law this point should be safeguarded in this way. The bill also provided that in case the county voted for sale, then a township or ward of a city in such county should have the right of a like vote under the same conditions of a county vote. This same "bill was before the legislature of 1S90, of which the writer was again a member, but as the house was largely democratic it was never acted on by the committee to whom It was referred. In 1S97 the writer again being a member of the general assembly, the county local option feature was offered as a amendment to the Nicholson law, but at the time received little favor, Mr. Nicholson, as the writer remembers, voting against It himself. These observations are made simply to correct the mistaken notion that the county or township or ward local option idea is of a recent date, the product of the enthusiastic supporters of today. But that It has had at least the sanction of twenty years behind it and had the support of such well known workers as John B. Connor, Governor Cumback, Timothy Nicholson, Dr. J. C. Wood. Dr. Houser, T. A. Goodwin and many other earnest and conscientious men. The

TELLS CHIEF EXECUTIVE IN AN INTERVIEW WHAT HE HAS DONE, AND ROOSEVELT SAYS HE LIKES THE IDEA. Oyster Bay, Sept. 1C President Roosevelt in the midst of his work of keeping in touch with the Saratoga convention found time yesterday for an hour of chat with- his old friend "Prof." Mike Donovan. "President Roosevelt will be delighted to see you," said Secretary Loeb. "He may be a little busy, but he won't let it interfere." Accordingly Secretary Loeb and Prof. Donovan drove up to the president's house together. "No, I'm not going to put the president In training for his African trip," Donovan told the townspeople. "He does not need it. I'm just going to pay a call and talk over old times. "I'm writing a book about the president," said Donovan on his return from the call at Sagamore Hill, "1 told him about it" "He said he did not any body he'd rather have write a book about him than me. You see I've known President Roosevelt a long time. I first took him in hand way back, when he began to go into politics. I was with him down in Washington. I'm going to call the book; "An Apostle of Peace." That's a good title, isn't it? Didn't he make peace between Russia and Japan. I've got about 125 pages of the book written already.

FAMOUS

BANKER

MOn DEAD Great Italian Philanthropist Was Former Partner Of Jay Gould. HIS RISE REMARKABLE. A KINDNESS DONE WHEN A BOY OPENED 4rAY TO FAME AND RICHES ONCE WITH ERIE RAILROAD. New York, Sept. 16. Giovanni P. Morosini, the Italian banker and philanthropist, former partner of Jay Gould, died of heart disease Tuesday afternoon at his country home in Riverdale. He had been in failing health for a year. The way in which Mr. Morosini secured his start in life was perhaps more romantic and itcrecting than anything int h eexperience of his fellow-millionaires In Wall street. He came to this country from Italy when a youth of 10. One day at Clifton, Staten Island, he encountered a crowd of boys who were unanimously pounding one of their number, prostrate on the sidewalk and bleeding. He rescued the victim of the attack, who proved to be a con of Nathaniel Marsh, secretary of the Erie railroad. Showed His Gratitude. The latter gave young Morosini a position with the railroad. He showed so much cleverness generally that he was rapidly advanced from one rost to another until he became auditor of the company. He was auditor when Jay Gould became associated with the Erie. Of recent years Mr. Morosini had practically retired from the banking business. His particular fad was the collection of pictures, armors and ivories. His collection of carved ivories was the handsomest in the vorld. The banker will be buried In the family mausoleum at Woodlawn which is one of the most beautiful tombs in the cemetery.

Common Sense And A Tablet

Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach Trouble and Make Meals A Pleasure. When your stomach goes on a strike and mass meetings of indignation are held all over your body, then it is that you should sit up and take notice. It is clearly and only a question of common sense is this thing called Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eating, excesses and high living, the things which the stomach needs and you have dyspepsia and indigestion: then other maladies follow these this is common sense. The stomach is willing enough but you won't let it do its work. You take away the materials which are so necessary for it to use. Give back these materials and dys pepsia and indigestion flee and the whole machinery of man begins slowly to move and do its work. What the stomach needs is nerve force, fluids for its digestive, glands, nourishment and power. All these necessities it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blocd. the blood gives nothing to the stoniach. t This is common sense also, pure, ' simple and unalloyed. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are common sense pressed by high power into tablets. In these tablets are powerful , essences which go into the stomach, ' digest food, stop gas making, prevent j decaying of food, enrich the gastric i juices, are absorbed by the blood and . thus give it strength to furnish a bet ter fluid for digesting the next meal. Every physician knows what comprises these tablets: every druggist has the same knowledge also. They are natural common sense digesters which do the work for the stomach quickly and well. Every drug store carries them, 50c per package. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich.
