What a gloomy affair that Republican district convention at Connersville Tuesday must have been to one familiar with district conventions of other days not so far back as last spring, just a few short weeks before the party was sandbagged to death at Chicago. True, the same jovial gang of ward heelers and county bosses gathered at Connersville Tuesday, but the ordinary, everyday citizen, who used to attend as a delegate or alternate to plead and fight for the principles he believed his party should indorse and support, only to be double-crossed in the end, was missing. He has enrolled himself in the ranks of a party he has been forced to organize. And what a blow it must have been to the Watsons, the Houghs, the Genns, the Elliotts, the Hernleys and the Bassetts not to have amongst them any real representative of the people those they formerly contemptuously referred to as "d n reformers." What sport could they obtain at a convention without any "reformers'" present to be the victims of their crude political tricks? What object would there be for Jim Watson to hold fire escape conferences with some flattered henchman if there was no one present to conspire against? There was no earthly use for those who attended the convention to plot against each other, for every man had been a student in the Watson school of politics and knew every move In the game, consequently bar room intrigues were the heighth of absurdity, and back hall whisperingmatches useless and transparent farces. In fact all that these lonesome and repudiated supporters of a once all-powerful political organization had. to do at Connersville was to play square with each other and for once in their lives deal the cards from the top of the deck, a trick they undoubtedly found hard to perform. In the convention hall it was not necessary to place the gavel in the hands of the most notorious political highwayman present for there was no fighting mad majority in attendance for the bosses to knock down and loot. The only requirements demanded of a chairman to rule over that gloomy assembly was a man with a good pair of lungs, an abusive tongue and a calloused conscience, and an ideal presiding officer was found in Will Hough. Will Risk, of New Castle, an easy going, likable vassal of the Elliotts, was chosen as the lamb for slaughter; Jim Watson waved the American flag and spoke of golden sunsets; Charles O. Stivers recited his weekly oath of allegiance to the Republican party, and Bill Hough told the peoplo what chumps they were for discarding himself and the rest of Our Jim's merry men for such transparent frauds as Roosevelt and Beveridge. Then the curtain mercifully fell on this 'Old Guard tragedy.

"Love's labor lost" might describe the long messages penned by President Taft in his daily task of vetoing tariff bills which conform to the demands of the people. The house yawns while the executive's screeds are read then passes the measures over his veto with enthusiasm.

Just Four Years Ago. Here is the Republican party's honest estimate of Theodore Roosevelt as written into the Republican party platform of 1908! Republicanism Under Roosevelt. In this the great era of American advancement, the Republican party has reached its highest service under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His administration is an epoch in American history. In no other period since national sovereignty was won under Washington, or preserved under Lincoln, has there been such mighty progress in those Ideals of government which make for justice, equality and fair dealing among men.

The highest aspirations of the American people have found a voice. Their most exalted servant represents tha best aims and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. American manhood has been lifted to a higher sense of duty and obligation. Conscience and courage in public station and higher standards of right and wrong In private life have become cardinal principles of political faith; capital and labor have been brought, into closer relations of confidence and interdependence, and the abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power and all the evils of privileges and favoritism have been put to scorn by the simple, many virtues of justice and fair play. The accomplishments of President Roosevelt have been, first and foremost, a brave and impartial enforcement of the law, the prosecution of illegal trusts and monopolies, the exposure and punishment of evil-doers in the public service, the more effective regulation of the rates and service of the great transportation lines, the complete overthrow of preference, rebates and discriminations, the arbitration of labor disputes, the amelioration of the condition of wage workers everywhere, the conservation of the natural resources of the country, the forward step in the improvement of the inland waterways and always the earnest support and defense of every wholesome safeguard which has made more secure the guaranties of life, liberty and property. These are the achievements that will make for Theodore Roosevelt his place in history, but more than all else the great things he has done will be an inspiration to those who have yet greater things to do. We declare our unfaltering adherence to the policies thus inaugurated and pledge their continuance under Republican administration of the government.

Progressives in Center and Jackson townships should not fail to attend their meetings in Centerville and Cambridge City, aespectively, tonight.

Wayne county attorneys with Progressive or Republican tendencies who are eyeing the vacancy in the prosecutor's office should not get their hopes worked up too high. The appointive power rests with the governor, who happens to be a Democrat and candidate for vice president of the United States.

and the bull moose platform is radical with the Democrats left in this peculiar campaign on a platform which is emphatically reactionary. The leaders thus have a strenuous task ahead

of them in trying to make a fight for '

progressive issues on such a collection of meaningless declarations as that to which the party in Indiana is committed. The national Democratic platform, written by Mr. Bryan, is in keeping with the fight which he made In the Baltimore convention while the Indiana Democratic platform, written with the approval of Mr. Taggart, i3 just such a document as might have been adopted in Baltimore had the Ryans and the Belmonts had their way. The two do not jibe as to particulars, the Indiana platform is only

to be contrasted with that adopted !

in Baltimore, and the fear which Democratic leaders throughout the state are now showing proves that they finally recognize the facts in the case. Following the state Democratic convention the German-American Democratic club, of Indianapolis, the most powerful Democratic organization in that city, held an indignation meeting and adopted resolutions condemning the platform. The dissatisfaction then so pointedly presented in Indianapolis

has been increasing, especially since Democrats of the rank and file have

had an opportunity to contrast the state platform with that adopted in Baltimore. It is indeed no wonder that 6tate leaders have given orders to party workers to explain and amend the state platform as they see fit. The

; task, however, is an arduous one and

one which can hardly succeed. South Bend Tribune.

with the state ticket so that there can be no confusion in the voters' mind3. We Progressives in our state convention at Indianapolis nominated candidates for all state offices, headed by Beveridge for governor. At the same time we adopted a platform of principles that reads like a bill of human rights and marks a wonderful step in advance in political thought for human welfare. But how are we to enact those principles into law if we do not elect Progressives to the general assembly? If Beveridge is elected governor he can not introduce measures in the assembly. It will take a majority of Progressive members to make our platform effective in the session that convenes this next January. It is unthinkable that the Progressives will allow themselves to be placed in such a ridiculous position as of having nominated candidates for state office and of having adopted a morally and ethically right platform and then not back these up with a Progressive legislative ticket. Lee Reynolds is the present Republican candidate for representative for Wayne caunty, and James Mason, of Fayette county, is the candidate for joint representative for Wayne and Fayette counties. Although actually running for state offices these two men are on the Wayne county Republican ticket. It would be unprincipled for the Progressives to ask these two men to remain on that ticket but to endorse the Progressive state candidates and the Progressive state platform. The state candidates on the Republican ticket should make their fight in this campaign on the platform adopted at the Republican state convention, so that the fight may be straight out, between standpatters and Progressives. If these men, however, are at heart true Progressives and do not stand for the rotten brigandage that characterizes the present controlling forces of the Republican party, they should be given the opportunity to prove this by coming on a Progressive legislative ticket and make their fight for election on the platform adopted at the Progressive convention. Then, if after this opportunity is offered them they fail to take advantage of it, the Progressives of Wayne and Fayette counties should fill those two places with men who can consistently make the campaign on our platform. This is one place where the Progressives can not afford under any consideration to compromise, regardless of participation in the primaries of last spring. The principle back of the need for a Progressive legislature ticket is the same one underlying the need for a Progressive candidate for congress in this district. In a short time, as district chairman, I will issue a call for a district convention at which a Progressive candidate for congress will be nominated who, if he is elected, will back up the splendid platform adopted by the Progressives at the Chicago convention Were congressional candidates not nominated by the Progressives, Colonel Roosevelt and the Progressives of the nation would be placed in the ridiculous light of being and having a presidential candidate with no candidates to back up the program of reform and human betterment mapped out and specificially promised in the Progressive national platform. You Progressives must realize that ours is a party of action and not one of protest. If protest were all we were after Roosevelt electors are all that would be on our ticket this fall. We would have no state candidates and mighty little organization, for the people will not follow a party of protest. But the people will follow and support a party of action in their Interests. They are doing so now under the impression that that is what characterizes the Progressive party. That is the reason the people are flocking by the hundreds of thousands to the Progressive banner in every state in the union. That is the reason for the deathly small attendance at the recent Republican ward arrd township meetings in this county. The people are with us because they expect us to do something positive, not to be the negative end of a donkey and simply protest. If we are to act then we must have our own legislative and congressional candidates. When we do this we are simply expressing the will of the people who are going to support the Progressive party for the principles it has laid down for its foundation. Now, my Democratic Progressive friend, your question shall be answered. Why all this talk about protecting the Progressives on the Republican county ticket by offering them first choice of the same places on the Progressive county ticket? Is this Progressive party after all but composed of a lot of rabid Republicans masquerading under an assumed name? No, my friend, we are not masquerading under an assumed name nor are we going to solicit your vote under false pretences. As I said almost in the beginning, the present Republican county ticket is composed of Progressive Republicans. They were put there by the Progressive Republican voters who participated in the primaries last spring. It was the Progressive Republicans of the nation and the fight they waged for a clean party previous to and during the Chicago convention that opened your eyes to the extent and magnitude of boss control in the great political parties. If Woodrow Wilson is truly a Progressive, then he was nominated at Baltimore not on account of the campaign in his behalf by Bryan, but on account of the disclosures brought about by the Progressives' fight at the Republican convention at Chicago. Taft's nomination was won at a fearful sacrifice to the Republican party as the Democrat bosses, Taggart, Murphy, Sullivan, etc., were finally able

to perceive at Baltimore. These men on the Republican county ticket have aided materially in the fight to advance Progressive principles through the old parties in the past. It is not fair nor honorable that their part in this great war for human rights under the radically changed conditions of the present should pass unacknowledged. Nor will they if I know anything of the Progressives of this county.

Put Your Farm onaBusiness Basis YOU may be spending much more than is necessary for power to do your plowing, seeding, harrowing, cultivating, harvesting, threshing, silage cutting, hauling, etc., etc. An I H C kerosene-gasoline tractor reduces the cost of plowing from about $1.25 an acre with horses, to less than half that amount. A like proportion of saving can be made by using anIHC tractor for the other operations. An I H C Kerosene -Gasoline Tractor can be used for so many different kinds of work that you will find almost constant use for it on your farm. It furnishes the cheapest and handiest form of power f o belt and drawbar work. An I H C tractor is simple and therefore easy to manage. It carries its own supply of fuel. It is clean and safe, making neither smoke, soot, nor sparks. There is no limit to its working hours. All bearings are protected from flying dirt, sand and grit. There are no rapidly moving parts to be quickly worn out. I H C tractors are built in 12, 15, 20, 25, and 45horse power sizes. I H C engines for general purposes on the farm or in mill, shop, and factory are made in sizes from 1 to 50-horse power. The complete I H C engine line includes the tractors and also horizontal and vertical engines; air and water-cooled; stationary, port- . able and mounted on skids; built to operate on gas, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, distillate, and alcohol.

THE STATE PRESS

PLATFORM FRIGHTENS THEM. Democratic leaders throughout the 6tate are showing considerable anxiety as to the state platform; that enterdrawn by a corporation controlled resolutions committee and railroaded through a boss ridden convention. Their fear is justified; they may well look upon that platform with much misgiving. From Indianapolis Democratic headquarters word has gone out to candidates and campaign speakers generally ordering them to immediately get busy and supplement the state platform with various progressive proposals. Thus the campaign is likely to show democratic speakers explaining the state platform and making various specific additions thereto. It will be an entertaining spectacle to observe a speaker here telling why Gov. Marshall's recommendation for a public ultilities plank was ignored and another one there declaring that the Democrats of Indiana are committed to equal suffrage, if not in writing by word of mouth, and so on down the list. The truth is that the Republican platform is conservatively progressive
