MINDED

DEMOCRATS ARE HOW ASTOUNDED Awaken to Find That Other Members of Party, Backed By Brewery Bosses Are Trading Bryan Votes. ALL DONE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MARSHALL. Effort Inspired by Fairbanks-Lieber-Taggart Brewery Crowd for Purely a Selfish Motive, v By Harper. The democrats are openly trading off Bryan votes for Marshall votes. They are offering odds. They express their willingness to take two votes from Bryan and trade them for one for Marshall. Not only are they offering Bryan votes for Marshall votes, but they are making the same overtures and trades for votes for the democratic legislative ticket The effort la Inspired wholly by the brewery trust In its attempt to serve Its selfish purpose. Bryan democrats are becoming enraged at the evident game of holdup and double dealing. It is a plain show down that the democratic party has secured the alliance of the brewery bosses from none but eelfiBh motives on the part of the latter. They have no Interest In the suc cess of the democratic party except eo far as the brewery Interests are to be served. From -such action is to be reached the direct conclusion that the democrats through the powers that hold the money barrels are abandoning the state to the republican national ticket and : concentrating their energies, money and Influence, to elect the democratic state ticket Two Bryan tea for one for Marshall. Two votes for the author of the "Prince of Peace" thrown, down for the man, who appeared in a number of cases In Wbiteley county as the counsel for saloon, keepers, charged with violating the liquor laws. Two votes for th8 man, who wants the names of the campaign fund contributors published before the election to one for the man, who Is being boosted openly by Crawford Fairbanks, Albert Lleber and Thomas Taggart, the most notorious trio of brewery and gambling casino owners of which the State of Indiana Vinostn In await whlsners. Falr minded democrats, who have seen fit to support Bryan and believed In the support of Marshall as their party's choice are gaping in astonishment at the latest proposition. That the brewers would assume such control over the party as to offer to trade votes sacrificing the head of the en tire ticket for the men of their choice seeking minor positions has been, astounding. It is hard for the clear minded, clean principled men of the democratic party to realize such a condition of facts. Further information as to the effect Of county option and subsequent prohl bitlon, where such was the case, has come from Exum Haas, son of E. M Haas, district republican chairman Young Har.s Is located at Harrisburg, 111. He writes his father as follows: "How is Indiana going? You hear all kinds of opinions down here, but most people think it is going against Watson. I have got it in my head it will be different from the experience I have had in these Illinois towns go ing dry. You never know anything about them until it is all over and then it is almost unanimous for a dry town. Many men, particularly business men, are afraid to take a position publlcally and would not have their names appear on the old form of remonstrance, yet they go to the polls and vote dry. "There is not a wet town from Danville to Cairo and none of them down In here are going wet again soon. Business is better and the police have very little to do. It is possible to have It shipped in here and it comes !n by the car load, but very seldom do you hear of pjiy arrests as the cars usually come In on Saturday night and the men never are on the streets dmnk the Sunday following. In fact, I have only seen one drunk on the streets here In the two months I have been here and I am out on the street most of the time, getting frontage for the rroposed electric line. There was an Attendance of over 3o,000 at the fair here and I did not see a drunk. Here the ruling element is the miner and usually is of an ignorant class as it is a business that requires only the commonest kind of laborers and if they can rt together and vote booze out I do not see why people of Indiana, who are of a decidedly better class gen erally, can not have the same, privilege if they want it. All this dope about it killing business is tommy-rot as any one down here will tell you." Appended are a few excerpts from the New Yorker Staats Zeltung. published by Herman Ridder. treasurer of the democratic national committee, which reflect the sentiments -of Ridder ' (Continued on Page Two.)

CIVIC LEAGUE FOR PIPE OF PEACE

Organization Will Attempt to Square Itself With the Public. - COMMITTEES TO MEET. PROBABLE FULL EXPLANATION WILL BE MADE AS TO WHY VARIOUS POLITICAL CANDIDATES WERE "BLACKLISTED." A meeting of the executive committee and the correspondence committee of the Wayne County Civic League will be held this evening to consider ways and means for tihe organization extracting Itself froni the political quagmire it stepped into, when the now tamous statement was issued telling the voters of Wayne county who they, should and who they should not vote for on the republican and demo cratic county tickets. Members of the league state that the organization as a body did not issue the statement and place the entire responsibility on the "correspondence" committee, which committee, . it is stated, acted without the knowledge" or consent of the other members of the organization. "The league, through the action' of Its cosespondence committee, got Itself into an ugly 'mess, and if any further action is taken the greatest care will have to be employed or the matter will 'botched up' worse than. It now is," stated a well known local minister today, who is a member of the Civic League. , It is understood that at the meeting tonight of the members of the execusomo action will be taken to explain to the voters of the county why the league opposes the three republicans and the three democrats who were "blacklisted" by the organization.

It is understood that none of this information is of a senalional nature. SPEAK AT WILLIAMSBURG. : Judge William O. Barnard and Prosecutor Wilfred Jessup addressed an enthusiastic meeting at Williamsburg last evening In the interest of , the republican party. Judge Barnard made a favorable impression.

APPROPRIATION TO

HOSPITAL WILL BE MADE AS USUAL ouncilmen Pledge Themselves to Pass Ordinance Donating $4,000 Over Schillinger's Veto. BOARD OF TRUSTEES EXPRESS INDIGNATION Report That Hospital Is Mis managed Is Resented Amendments to Constitution Read. Council members met with th board of trustees of the Reid Memorial hospital last evening, and enough city fa thers informed that body they would vote for the ordinance appropriating $4,000 for the institution to assure its passage over Mayor Schilllnger's veto. Councilman Wettig, who at the last council meeting introduced a resolution favoring the absorption of the hospital by the city, remained obdurate and stated that he would vote against the passing the ordinance over the mayor's veto, because the city attorney had given his opinion to the effect that the hospital was a private institution and that the city had no authority to contribute to the support of any priv ate institution. Mr. Wettig was informed that City Attorney T. J. Study was "too narrow minded" to approve of such an appropriation and it was furthermore point ed out to him that if the $4,000 was denied the Institution it would practi cally impossible to maintain the institution next year. Members of the board of trustees expressed great indignation over the report that the hospital was misman aged and that the trustees controlled the institution in an arbitrary manner. Dr. M. F. Johnston was asked If he had been intimlJated by the board so that he was afraid to speak his true opin ion concerning the management of the hospital. Dr. Johnston replied that he and, to the best of his knowledge, all physicians except a very small minor ity,' were perfectly satisfied with "the way the institution was conducted. John I Rupe and S. S. Strattan, Jr., of the board, stated that they would willingly tender their resignation if their work on the board had not been satisfactory. It was stated to the council that the reason a certain phy slcian, who has been strenuously opposing the present management of the hospital, had been dropped from the medical staff was because ,no one could get along with him. No Place in Politics. Mr. Rupe stated that in his opinion It would be poor policy to place the institution under political control. He pointed out that while the hospital Is operated as a private Institution to keep It out of politics, it is in every sense a public hospital and worthy of the support of the city. Mr. Rupe stated that the hospital was held in trust for the citizens of Richmond by the board of trustees, and that the board could not deed the property over to the city without violating the trust imposed upon it by the donor, Mr. D. G. Reid. Mr. Rupe stated that Mr. Reid had no more title to the institution than any citizen of this city. Action Promised. Board members informed the councilmen that if a larger representation on the board of trustees was desired this action could be taken. Councilman Williams stated that he thought the people desired this, but Council man Bartel stated he did not think Mr. Williams reflected public opinion. He said that if the board consisted of too many members it would be unwelldy. Dr. Johnston expressed the same opinion. The following, in brief, are the proposed amendments to the constitution of the Reid Memorial hospital, which are to be forwarded to the secretary of state for approval : "The articles of Incorporation of the Institution are to be amende as follows so that the purpose of the institution may more clearly be determined and known, by the people at large, also that the powers of the trustees may more clearly be known. "The asociation will have no capital stock. It is not organized for pecuniary profit, but instead for benevolence and all of its donations are to be used, for making needed additions to the institution and for maintaining the Institution. . "The association consists of certain buildings described in the articles and an endowment fund of $25,000 contributed by the city and the citizen's, the furnishing of the hospital and the property and furnishings of St. Stephen's hospital, which were absorbed by Reid hospital, all of which property has been acquired at a coet of $100,000, all of which was contributed as gift or gifts by Daniel G, Reid and other dtifShs of said citr for the benefit of the people of said city. And that said Reid hospital was incorporated not for profit bnt as a benevolence and by its

party leaders finish campaign among voters National Headquarters in Chicago Are Now Practically Abandoned by Big Political Men. INDIANA SITUATION PLEASING TO ALL. Hemenway, Beveridge and Others Say Taft and Watson Are Sure to Carry the Hoosier State. (Special to The Palladium.) .Chicago, Oct. 27. The campaign is practically at an end, so far as actual big work at national headquarters is concerned, and the, big political managers are scattering out for their homes. By the middle of the week the headquarters of both parties will be practically deserted. Already an air of quiet pervades the rooms of the national committees. Where hordes of political workers and leaders have swarmed for weeks few are . there nowi , . . , . This does not mean that the fight is over. It means that the work to be done between now and election day, will be done in the precincts and among the voters themselves. It means that the ranks are to be closed up and the voters got to the polls. All the generalship has been played; now the job Is to get out the vote. " Whatever money the party organizations have to spend will be spent this week. And.it is said here that both ' sides are well supplied with money. It is now being dealt out to the ;varioiv states, the doubtful states, of course, being given much more than the states that are safe one way or the other. ' Fred A Sims, acting chairman of the Indiana republican state committee, ,was here and .it is whispered around, here that when he started for Indianapolis he had concealed in his jeans a large wad of money that he received from the .national committee with which to finish the campaign. Just how much money Sims received I is not made public, but the rumor has it all the way from $60,000 to $ 100.000. State Chairman Goodrich was here also.

The body will be brought to this city for burial, but It is not known when -it will. arrive here, There was probably not a better known man in .Wayne county than Charles R. DuHadway during the thirty years he was connected with the First National bank. He was also ex tremely popular with his . numerous friends," and the announcement of his defalcation, which was-not made until May 15. lOtxi. . came as a distinct shock to all of them.

Whether he took the $1G,WW all at one time or had been embezzling it In small sums is not known. The reserve fund, which was only counted about once a week, was kept in a special-vault, the 'combination to which was known only to Mr. DuHadway in his capacity of cashier. In the fall of lfxr.

Bank officials then decided to force an entrance to the vault, which was accomplished after two weeks' work. Then for the first time Mr. DaHadway's shortage was discovered. Three days after this discovery had been made, some relatives of Mr. DuHadway, who were stockholders in the bank, made good his shortage.

. BEVERIDGE'S WHIRLWIND TOUR ndiana's Senior Senator Is Greeted by Large and Enthusiastic Audiences Everywhere He Goes. REASONS GIVEN FOR ELECTION OF TAFT. Why Turn Down Party Which Does Everything for the Party Which Does Nothing, Senator Asks. By Ellis Searles On Board Beveridge Special. Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 17. Senator Beveridge closed the firet dar of hla special train trip over the state of Indiana last night with a monster meeting in this city. It was the greatest demonstration of the campaign in Fort Wayne, and the republicans of Allen county are jubilant over the turn out. Beveridge made fifteen speeches yes terday across northern Indiana. He had big crowds everywhere and there was much enthusiasm. This was especially true In the smaller towns visited. In some of the places where bis , turn outs were not expected he had" hundreds of people. Most of the speeches were outdoor speeches though 6ome were made In halls and theaters. Even in the democratic town of Walkerton, and while a drizzling rain was falling. SOo persons stood around a band stand in the street and listened' to Beveridge. At Warsaw there was a great crowd, the theater being packed. Beveridge spoke twenty minutes, and when he got through James E. Watson dropped into the hall and made a speech. Watson- was on his way to La port e for a meeting in the afternoon and had to make a thirty mile automobile trip to keep the engagement after the Warsaw meeting. George Ade, the humorist and playwright; John T. McCutch eon, cartoonist on the Chicago Tribune, and Sam Blythe, of the Saturday Evening Post, and several other newspaper men were on the train with Beveridge. Ade, McCutcheon and Blythe are personal friends of Beveridge and are making the tour with him for the novelty of the thing. They will be with him at Richmond tonight. Beveridge is certainly making a whirlwind finish of the campaign Irs Indiana. His special train will be out five days, and will make stops for speeches In fifty-five towns. It will cover more than 1,500 miles. Beveridge told the crowds yesterday that one reason why they should elect Taft president Is that every good law that has been written into the statute books has been placed there by a Republican congress.. He said more good laws have been enacted in the last seven years than during any three administrations before. He said neither Bryan nor the democratic party proposes to repeal any of these laws. They say they are all good laws, so why do they a6k the voters to turn out power the democratic party that has not done anything. Beveridge discussed injunctions and the labor question- at some places. He said he favored legislation that would prevent the Issuance of injunctions without notice, but that he was against any law that would give a trial by jury on Injunction . or contempt proceedings. Women Know Best. The senator made a hit at several places by his appeal to the men to consult their wives on the issues of the campaign and then vote as they tell them to vote. "The women know more about what is best for the family and the home than you do." he said. "I am willing that you should ask their advice and then follow it." In one of his speeches Beveridge said Bryan has thrown away his former Issues and that he now has a new cce that is no more substantial than the old ones were. "In 1DJ Bryan was for free silver. he said. "One year ago he was for ihe government ownership of railroads. He ha thrown both of thee Issues aside. How do you know that atb will not throw, away tomorrow what he favors today?" Beveridge invites democrats to aslc questions at every stop. He tells them if they will give him one reason why they intend to vote for Bryan he will try to answer the argument. Here and there some democrat asks a question and gets an antwer. One amusing Incident of ttt kind happened at Kemdallville. Some man asked:: "What about last summer's panic? "My friend. . Beveridge asked, "haven't you got a job? "Yes," came the answer. "I thought so. Then the panic did! not hurt you. did itr The crowd laughed and cheered this answer. Then Beveridse asked the man if he wes better off now than he was in 189J. j "I should gues yes, the fellow ad--J-
