ELLItlGHAM'S LABOR RECORDJUESTIOIIED Muncie Typographical Union Makes Charge Against the Democratic Nominee. DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED ASSERTED THAT CANDIDATE PREVENTED UNIQN0GANIZATION IN DECATUR BY REFU8ING TO SIGN 8CALE. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Sept 15. Lew Ellin ham, democratic candidate for secre tary of state. Is now confronted with an official charge made by a commit tee of the Muncie Typographical union upon the testimony of Lawrence W. Tester, secretary of the Frankfort Typographical union, who was formerly employed by Ellingham. Rumors to this effect, afloat several weeks have been confirmed by the action of the Uinlon in determining to send out un der the union seal the findings of the committee to every typographical union In the state. Thence it will be sent to all trades councils and eventually to the unions of all other trades. Within two weeks 80,000 union men will be informed of the alleged dis crimination against labor by Ellingham. The charge made by Tester Is that in 1904 when labor men endeavored to organize in Decatur, Ellingham refus ed to sign the scale and thus prevented organization In the town, which has not been systematically effected to this day. His opposition to the unionising of the printers has not been forgotten. The claim of Tester and the Muncie union is labor has the same right to defend its interests by opposing the candidacy of a man who has fought labor. The secretary of state Is a member of the state printing board, and In the letting of public contracts to closed or open shops, union labor Is Interested. Lew Ellingham, when In Indianapolis a few days ago, expressed the belief that the committee was already almost predetermined In his favor. The general stand of organized labor in favor of Senator Beveridge is the cause of much anxiety to the democrats, as evidenced by the pamphlet which Is being published by John Keegan, democratic candidate for representative from Marion county, at tacking the labor record of the sena tor. He spends much space endeavoring to connect Senator Beveridge with D. M. Parry of Indianapolis, who Is unpopular with the unions, and with James Van Cleave, the prosecutor of Oompers and Mitchell. The statement of Samuel Gompers, made In Indianapolls, that Senator Beveridge ia one of the most progressive men In con gress, is not recalled in the pamphlet Neither is any plethora of type devoted to exploiting the labor record of John Kern. Keegan is the man who came to Indianapolis a few years ago as an employe of the New Telephone company to help the company as "a labor leader" In Its move to secure a new franchise, the sequel to which was a general Increase In telephone rates.

OUR JIM" PREDICTS

REPUBLICAN DEFEATS Blames Roosevelt and Says He Has Strengthened Insurgency. SEES A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE DECLARES PARTY 18 FACING AN ACUTE 8ITUATION -AND HOLDS THAT ONLY POSSIBLE SUCCESS LIES IN UNITY OF G. O. P. While In a taxlcab in New York city, James E. Watson of Rushville predict ed on Wednesday that the republican party would experience several de feats this fall. He believes the house of representatives will be democratic by at feast thirty. He scored Theodore Roosevelt and blames him for the different factions in the ruling party. He says that the unity of these factions Is the only hope. A dispatch to the Indianapolis Star Is as follows: Former Representative James E. Watson of Indiana, who was the re publican "whip" In the house, and who is an active campaigner, came down from Utica today, where he had been with Vice President Sherman, and left almost immediately for Pottsvllle. Pa., where he is io help open the republican campaign tomorrow. While chasing across town from the Waldorf to the Twenty-third street ferry in a taxlcab Mr. Watson, made some startling statements with regard to the outlook before the republican party at the present time, so far as the fall elections are concerned, and gave It as his belief that present indications are for a democratic majority in congress next year of at least thirty. . Mr. Watson blamed Col. Roosevelt, not for making new insurgents or progressives, but for helping to align them so distinctly that there is little hope of tfieir getting together as things stand. "I was out West with Vice President Sherman in Missouri and Oklahoma," said Mr. Watson, "and have been campaigning in eleven states this year, and I tell you the situation Is bad for the republican party. I am not one of those who shut their eyes and predict big . majorities. The irepublican' party la confronted by a situation that is acute, and it is no use to shut our eyes to it. - "It is absolutely necessary for the republicans to get together everywhere. The indications are now that the next house will be democratic by at least thirty majority, unless the republicans do unite. -We are losing republican congressmen all the time from Maine to California. ; "In many states a feeling obtains either of dissatisfaction with the local leaders or with certain conditions, and thousands seek to express the feeling of dissatisfaction. What they regard as the most striking and effective way is to vote the democratic ticket. There has been much the same feeling in Indiana, but out- there all the leaders, while they have not come together, have still reached a conclusion that republicans ought all to vote alike, and we ought to carry the state. "As for Roosevelt, I honestly do not believe he has made a single new insurgent for all his rhetoric. But what he has done has been to intensify the feeling of those who were insurgent at heart and to emphasize the split In the party. He has stiffened the backbone of the man who had a tendency, after all, to come back into the fold and work for the good of the party, so that the latter grits his teeth, Teddy fashion, and says now he won't come back. That is about what Col. Roosevelt has done for the republican party. The need of the hour is for all republicans to get together, but," concluded Mr. Watson, as he hurried away into the Pennsylvania ferry .house, "I have serious doubts that we can." KENTUCKY PRIMARIES (American News Service.) Louisville, Ky, . Sept. 15. Primary elections are being held all over the state of Kentucky today. The most interesting fight Is in the Eleventh district, where Caleb Powers, convicted of the murder of Goebel and pardoned, is waging a strong fight for the republican nomination for congress. Powers Is a rival of Representative Edwards for the place. Jim Howard, who waa sentenced to life Imprisonment for the murder of Goebel and pardoned with Powers, Is his chief henchman.

POLITICAL CRISIS ARE CONSIDERED BY ILLINOIS VOTERS State Wide Primaries Are Held Thursday, But the Interest Largely Centers at Danville and Chicago.

CANNONISM, JACKPOTISM, LORIMERISM, AT STAKE Cannon Will Be Nominated but Progressives of Chicago Have a Strong Organization and Are Fighters. (American News Service.) Chicago, Sept. 15. Illinois voters are today answering the questions of the whole United States shall Cannon return to congress and shall Lorlmerism and Jackpot! sm still continue to dominate Illinois politics? While the primaries are state wide, the main interest centers on Danville and in Chicoga. In Danville it Is a certainty that Joseph Guernsey Cannon will be renominated for congress, just as it is certain that he will be re-elected. There was never a shadow of a doubt that the veteran speaker would win hands down, for the pride of the town and the county and the district is Cannon. He Is one of the picturesque landmarks and his overthrow would be a great blow to the district as the shattering of all their other Ideals combined. Down With Corruption. In Chicago things are different. Lorimer men and Jackpotters are arrayed against progressive republicans whose campaign slogan has been "Down with coruption." In the ninth district, the fate of Representative Boutell hangs by. a thread. He is opposed by Frederick Gansbergen, an attorney and it is freely predicted among leaders that Gansbergen will defeat Boutell on an antiCannon platform. , , :.L '-v v On the democratic slate" in the ninth there are three candidates, with the indications that Lyndon Evans will be nominated. The fight against Representative Mann, in the Second Illinois district the issue agains hinges on Cannonism and Mann is in danger of being defeated by Joseph R. Burres, his leading opponent. Representative Foss it appears, will be renominated despite his refusal to declare against Cannon, and Repre sentative Madden, of the First district another staunch Cannon man, is believed to be in the lead. There are seven candidates on the democratic elate in Maddens' district, with the chances favoring Michael E. Maher. Charges of Fraud Made. Representative Wilson stands for renomination in the Third. He is opposed by Harry F. Atwood. a Lorimer man. There is only one big f ght where democratic congressmen are concerned. That is in the Fourth district, where Representative McDermott, a friend of the packers, is struggling for renomination. He is opposed by Ed Rainey, who has a good chance of election. Charges of fraud 'in the elections were made freely today, with the result that watchers from the election commissioner's office ; were stationed at the polls. The election is the hottest, in years. , HAS PECULIAR STORY V William Clark Says That He Is in Indiana to Escape Persecution in NewYork. HALLUCINATION COST SAME That he had left his former home in New York to escape prosecution for some crime, was the story William Clark, arrested for drunk Tuesday afternoon told in police court this morning.

He said that he had not written to his mother for over six months and for this reason Chief Gorman became suspicious. Clark claimed that he lived in Columbus, Ov for a time and had a good reputation there. He has been working in a railroad gang near Centerville.

JAPAN MAY BEAT

ENGLAND THERE Expedition to South Pole Is Planned by the Yellow Men. HONOR FOR THE EMPIRE LIEUTENANT SHIRASE WHO IS TO LEAD PARTY ANNOUNCES THAT HE EXPECTS TO REACH SOUTH POLE, JANUARY 28. Tokio, Japan, Sept. 15. Lieutenant Shirase, late of the imperial navy, has electrified the populace and aroused its sporting . spirit by fitting out an expedition which he will lead in search of the South Pole, solely for the glory of beating the British expe dition under Captain Scott. He expects to start this month. The expedition will not pretend to be in aid of science or in search' of new lands over which the flag of Japan may float, but fraknly is a challenge from new Japan to the old world. Of course the expedition will convey astronomers, geographers and other scientific men. but their investigations will be subordinated to the single Idea of "getting there" first. Lieutenant Shirase is about 45 years old. He has-, had considerable experience in the arctic, both on ship and ashore, having spent several years in the Commandolskey and St. Raulens islands and in Alaska. He had hoped to lead an expedition to the North Pole, but the war with Russia brought him back from the arctic and private life to re-enter the Imperial service, in which he distinguished himself. Peary Beats Him. Before he could complete his plans, Commander Peary returned from his successful trip and the North Pole lost its charm. Then Shirase determined to fit out an exneamon to tne South Pole, eo that Japan could ever say that- her sons first planted tne flag at one or the poles, thereby accomplishing in one single dash as much as America and all the rest of the world had done in several centuries of effort There was little trouble in raising the necessary money. Lieutenant Shirase asked for 41,400 yen a year, or S20.700, and got it. but- just how much was raised has been kept a secret." Captain , Scott's British expedition cost $200,000, but the two can hardly be guaged alike, for the Japanese have fitted out on a far less extravagant and luxurious basis. A 200-ton vessel, with steam engine equipment will carry the expedition. It will go from Tbkio to Ogasawa and Australia. The start from Australia is scheduled for November 5, and it is hoped that McMurdo bay will be reached by the second week in November. There a base will be established and sledge trips will begin. Lieutenant Shirase now expects to divide his party into two divisions, he to head the advance guard of two scientists, assistants, packers and . five hardy horses. As the antarctic ice is comparatively smooth, he hopes to make fifteen miles a day. The second division will carry supplies, and prepare to support the advance guard on its return from the pole and victory, or succor it if disaster overtakes the party. .. . . ... . So confident is Lieutenant . Shirase that he has announced to his financial backers that he will reach the pole on January 28 next, and be back in Tokio by the end of July of next year. GOVERNORS TO ATTEND San Antonio, Tex., Sept 15. Acceptances from six governors to attend the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress in San Antonio, November 22-25 have been received. Kansas, Colorado, Missouri. Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas will be so represented. Secretary of State Knox, William J. Bryan,, Gifford Pinchot, John W. Noble and vJohn Barrett of the bureau of American republics will be among the visitors present. ' In addition some 25 or 30 diplomats from South America have accepted and a number of governors from ; Mexican states. This will be the greatest convention held west of the Mississippi river during the current year. AWAIT CHINESE PRINCE American Kew Service.) - -San Francisco, CaL, Sept. 15.

DRUG MEOJPPOSED National Retail Druggists As- - sociation Fight Suicides at Convention. WAR UPON "DOPE" MAKERS

Pittsburg, Sept IB. Resolutions were introduced before the convention of the National Retail Druggists' association which recommended the restriction ot the sale of carbolic add to a mixture of one-third each of acid, glycerine and water, "a preparation that may be taken by would-be suicides in large quantities without causing death." Another resolution, having for its object the suppression Of the "dope fiend," demanded that proprietary medicines containing cocaine, chloral, morphine, codine, and other drugs be sold only upon prescription. The Chicago delegation demands the change of the name "wood alco hol" to "wood naptha" that "topers mar not be led by similarity of names to drink the poisonous wood alcohol instead of whisky. The Ohio Pharmaceutical associa tion presented a resolution protesting against the laws requiring druggists to tatke out liquor license to enable them to sell whisky on prescription, "thus classifying the drug store as a saloon, while another law. forbids the sale of intoxicating preparations without a prescription." Fights Liquor In Stores. President Huhn of Minneapolis, in his address declared war on the indiscriminate sale of liquors in drug stores, emphatically announced that a reform was demanded and that the reform must be brought about by the pharmacists themselves.
