(Palladium Special) New York. Not. 7. Absorbing In it Interest to the nation la the prospect tve effect of the election Tuesday on the future political career ofTheodore Roosevelt. If Dix be triumphant the resounding cry will go forth from Gotham that the death knell of CoL Roosevelt's presidential aspirations has been tolled. ' If Stimson be victorious. Wall street, big business, and great and little bosses will go Into mourning and capital will prepare for the "Inevitable panic which It now gloomily Is forecasting. ' The campaign In New York this fall la not primarily a fight for the governorship. It Is a struggle between two great opposing forces for a much more valuable prise the presidency of the United States. It is a struggle certain to have a tremendous Influence upon policies which shall prevail in the nation. ttlmson anal Olx Pawns In the Game. Stimson and Dix, republican and democratic candidates respectively for governor, are mere pawns In the grant game being played. Neither has a personal following to any extent. BUbbsob' was 1 selected by Roosevelt, Dtx by Charles F. Murphy. Stimson Is cleeau -straight forward and honor- . ailx, tjjryt who baa done yoeman service la pciHc See and who, asa Tetl f facta obtained by collector of tha port William Loeb, has brought the sugar trust thieves to the bar of Justice. EUr, baa a clean record as a business man. the only serious charge mad against him being that he was a director In the wall paper trust and he and his friends deny that this charge has any foundation. In the opinion of Colonel Roosevelt the campaign la not a campaign of men It la a campaign of principles. There la only one great Issue Involved and that Is elemental." he said a few daya ago In northern New York. "It la this: Shall honesty or dishonesty triumph f Sees "Business-Tammany" Plot. And the colonel means It. He can see an allance of "big business" and Tammany; a combination Intended to thwart needful regulation of the huge corporations and to arrest the progress which bas been made In this direction a transfer of the state with Its lucrative offices to Charles P. Murphy, the Tammany chieftain. In speaking to a Brooklyn audience a few days ago he aald: "Even admitting I was the boss at the Saratoga- convention, aa claimed by the men opposed to Stimson, who would you rather have In power, Murphy or me?" No one baa fought harder for Stlmaoa's election than Colonel Roosevelt. Ha haa spoken repeatedly in the state and will do so again In New York City. He has had tremendous audiences. The sixes of the crowds and their enthusiasm, of course, indicate nothing, for when William Jennings Eryan waa a candidate for the presidency In 11H thousands gathered to bear him who cast their votes for McKlnley. And similarly,- Roosevelt bas opposed to him In this state exactly the same elements who were opposed to Eryan the business Interests to a largo extent and Wall street.

a union REVIVAL FORMALLY OPENED BY THEJV, MAHY Two Services Held Yesterday at the East Main Street Friends' Church and Hun

dreds Attended. HIS SERMONS QUITE - SIMPLE BUT STRONG Nothing Spectacular About the Noted Minister, Who Makes No Undue Appeal to Emotions of Audiences. The union evangelistic services will be held each evening this week except Saturday at 7:30 o'clock at the East Main Street Friends' church. A most cordial Invitation is extended the public to attend. Two powerful but simple sermons by Rev. George H. Mahy marked the opening of the united evangelistic cru sade Sunday afternoon and evening at the East Main Street Friends' church. Mr. Mahy is notably a preacher of the gospel; no side lines, no glittering generalities, no hunting for applause; nothing but the story of the Savior's love and sacrifice and the solicitation that men shall come unto him and be saved. To one who may have had ex perience in the past with other methods of Mr. Mahy will be, a great revelation, for he makes no undue ap peal to the emotions, but he presents the appeal for a better life In a way that Is convincinK he reaches the mind and the heart and undertakes to make the case so plain that the will acts sufficiently to bring the entire individual mind, feeling and will into complete surrender to the Christ No man will be able to sit under the preaching of Mr. Mahy and escape the conviction that he ought to be a Christian not a formal outward Christian. btrTtlat type ot" i"ChflBtlan -in -wiilch the individuality Is lost in the Indi viduality of Christ, in which one is thoroughly endued with the spirit of Christ, and as a result of which he be comes a potent influence in the circle in which he moves. Believes in Prayer. Mr. Mahy is notably a prayerful evangelist. He believes in prayer in connection with all the work of 'his meetings, prayer for the music, prayer for the speakers, prayer for the free will offerings. It is in fact a constant looking unto a higher power with no aggrandizment of the individual, a recognition that .whatever good is to be accomplished must come from above and not from the ministrations of men except as an agent of the Divine. Mr. Mahy stated near the open ing of his address on Sunday after noon that be had long been in prayer for the success of the Richmond meeting's and that he had expected an atmosphere of prayer when he came to Richmond and he had not been disap pointed. The initial meetings on Sunday gave promise of a thoroughly successful and far-reaching Tevival, for at this time the ground work was laid for a gospel crusade that shall be along lines that are lasting. It is a soulwinning campaign and souls are to be won, not by a play on the emotions. in which there is no change of heart and only a passing sentiment, but in which persons are to be so thoroughly convinced of their need of the Chris tian life that they will embrace it and the influence on them will be for all time. . There were large audiences at both services, and especially so in the evening, when the seating capacity of the great auditorium . was taxed. It has been arranged that three of the local pastors shall assist at each of the evening meetings and In the afternoon Dr. Addison Parker read the scripture lesson and prayer was offered by Rev. N. H. Hardington. ' Rev. Harmon Assists. At this time Rev. D. D. Harmon, of Montrose, Pa who 13 to have charge of the personal work, was Introduced and spoke briefly. Rev. Harmon has been called Into the work because it is felt that the development, of active personal soul-winning is necessary to success.-He spoke encouragingly of the outlook, declaring that he believed the revival has already begun. He believes the promises , of God are as ef fective now as when they were first uttered and he urged that every one call upon the Lord to send a revival and to begin it with the individual praying.-,.; W.'-T. Morgan, who is directing the music, was also presented at this time and said he was glad to bear testimony to the saving grace of Jesus Christ He said that it Is his work to sing the gospel In a very simple way, and he sang effectively He Is Not a' Disappointment" ' The afternoon sermon by Mr. Mahy was devoted to a series . of answers to the question, what is a real revival? He declared a real revival to be the visitation of the Holy Spirit ' which brings a new vision to the church and arouses Christians to a searching selfexamination and Intensifies their love, faith and service; it is a visitation of

(Palladium Special) Greensburg, Ind., Nov. 7.- Conditions today on the eve of the election indicate that Barnard will carry De catur county by at least 200 votes. Senator Beveridge will in all probability carry Decatur county by small majority, 200 or 300, 'but will lose the senatorial district formed by Barthol omew and Decatur counties. Greensburg News. , ,.

POINTS TO AND BARNARD

the past three or four week,' John W. Kern, the Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator, did not invade Wayne county during the campaign, but tho Republican nominee. Senator Beveridge, spoke here and was greeted by an immense audience. Some of the Speakers. Other Republican notables who : spoko in this county were James E. Garfield. Gifford Pinchot, William Taylor and Ex-President Roosevelt, who made a. short address from his private car. For the Democrats, William Jennings Bryan, Governor Marshall and John Lamb were the most effectlvo . speakers. ' . . .' , - Both the Republican and Democratic ' congressional candidates to represent the Sixth district, spent considerable' time In the couty. Both Mr. Gray and Mr. Barnard are hopeful of carrying the county. " 1 .It is difficult to make -a forecast on ' the result of the election in this coun-: ty on Tuesday. This campaign has been unlike any other ever held in Wayne. The customary rallies, torch-' light parades 1 and poster displays of candidates in the homes of the voter . were conspicuous by their abseaoa. In other words a noticeable breaking of party lines has been noticeable. Street corner debates were almost unknown ' as the average voter was much too. reluctant to Impart hla political beliefs to participate In any such controver-, ales. ' ,' ' And this deep lllenctf on the parrot the voters has complateljr ti3i.' C political leaders. It Is a situation they have never had to deal with before. , Outlook in This County. J Dissecting the statements of the Re-' publican and Democratic county. chair- ' men, published Sunday morning htbaf Palladium, It looks on the eve o the election as though Wayne couaty t would go Republican. Chairman Beck, of the Democratic committee predicts ' the legislative ticket and tha con-. gressional candidate, FInly Gray, will -: be elected by small majorities, showing that the Democratic committee is : not very confident' of success. Republican county chairman Wiley says ; that arter a careful survey of the situ-; ation he is of . the opinion the legislative, congressional and county tickets will be carried by a normal majority. t It Is quite probable that Chairman Wiley Is too optimistic but It la most probable the county wlU be safely Re-;; publican.
