BEVERIDGE MOST CAPABLE . MAN FOR SENATE OF U. S. SAYS RUSSELL IN SPEECH
CANDIDATE ASKS VOTERS TO BACK HEAD OFTICKET J)uty of Citizens to Country to Send Indiana's Most Capable Leader to Nation's Capital. FLAYS NEW TARIFF Former Professor Censures Democratic Trust Reform Efforts and Advocates Control of Big Corporation. Professor Elbert Russell, Progressive candidate for congressman, fired )ils first gun in the fight for Congress In Wayne county at Centervllle last night. A large enthusiastic crowd listened attentively as he fired charge after charge against the old line parties. "We' must vote for Albert J. Beveridge for the United States senate regardless of party," said Prof. Ruseell." We owe it to the country toj send to the senate the best that the ; fttate has to give, and Mr. Beverldge Is our best man. "You should put Intelligent patriotIsm above blind partisanship. Mr. Kern has gained his reputation merely as a running mate of Mr. Bryan end by his action of leaving his offic-; lal duties in the senate to defend the j McNamara dynamiters. Mr. Shiveley's j oniy claim to national notice is in tne charge, whether true or not, made by his colleague, that he is a representative of the breweries. On the other hand Mr. Beveridge was the leader in the fight against the meat packers. He led in the fight for a child labor law. He first advocated a non-partl-ean tariff commission, and was always Identified in constructive work." Asks for Initiative. A strong plea was made for the initiative, referendum and recall. Pro fessor Russell said: "I hate anything' that is against the life, health or vir-i tue of the people. I am for the ln-j ltiative, referendum and recall as in-j struments whereby we can get what i we want. It is easy for politicians to j Snake promises when there is no! power whereby the public can enforce them after election. The old parties have offered reforms galore but they have in most instances ignored them. The Progressives offer a bond for their good faith in the initiative, referendum and recall." Bringing home to the farmers in his audience the effect the new Democratic tariff has had on them, Prof. Russell said in part: "About 1895 the last of the public land was staked off. With no more Tree lands the valua has gone up. We could not keep the price down even when there was an unlimited supply to be had for the taking. With the Increased value of the land it is necessary for the farmer to have higher prices for his produce. He cannot raise forty-seven cent wheat on two hundred dollar land. So when Mr. Wilson says that by removing the wheat tariff the price of wheat will go down he does not take into consideration the fact that the increased wheat price is due to the increased value of land. Trust Fight Wrong. "The plan of the administration in trying to restore competition as a safeguard against the trusts is also wrang and for the same reason. Competition Is all right when there are unlimited resources at hand, but when all the resources are all in the hands of private individuals competition will not work. When there was a supply of coal which could be had by going out and staking a claim then competition was effective. If the price was raised It was easy to get another supply. Now the coal is all owned by private capital. Steel is also controlled by special Interests. They realize that competition is a waste and will no compete. The only way to get at the difficulty Is to regulate, as we are doing with the railroads and the banks. When the railways charged too high rates we did not start competing roads. We said what they should charge. So when the tobacco trust or others act against the best interests of society the thing to do is not to start more tobacco enterprises but to regulate them." Mr. Reller, candidate for prosecuting attorney on the Progressive ticket, in making a few remarks said, "I attended the Progressive convention two years ago and was born a Progressive there. What made me a Progressive then keeps me one today." William A. Bond, canddate for crcut judge, also spoke. The meeting was presided over by Thomas Jessup of Centervllle.

USERS COMPEL RETURN TO OLD RATES ON MILK Mayor's Cabinet Compares Notes and Learns of Sale of Tickets at V2 Cents by Dairymen.
STREET LAMPS POOR Superintendent Kleinknecht Says Old Lights Worn Out Will Stay Until New System is Ready. The effort of the dairymen to boost the milk price in Richmond from 7 1-7 cents a quart to 8 1-3 cents has met its Waterloo. At least that was the information obtained last evening at the meeting of the mayor's official family. Mayor Robbins brought up the milk question for discussion by stating that when his wife recently purchased 50 cents worth of milk tickets, she received two less than formerly, but three days later the dairyman gave her two more tickets. He wanted to know if he had been the recipient of a special favor Several city officials reported that various dairymen had returned to the old price, and some of these dairymen were then communicated with over the telephone. As a result of this investigation the city officials reached the conclusion that not more than two or three milk dealers were now charging the new rate. The cause assigned for the flop back to the old rate was the fact that the public would not stand for this additional tilt to the high cost of living. Lights Wear Out. Superintendent Kleinknecht of the city plant said a number of street lights were now giving little or no service because they were practically worn out, but he said this condition would have to be tolerated until the new lighting system was installed. A contract for a new transformer house will be let Thursday, and this building will be completed about the first of next month, and it is hoped that all the new lights will have been installed and in service by New Year's day. The following is the report for the city light plant for the month of September: Income Account Operating revenue, $9,361.21; non operating revenue, $78.24; total $9,439.45.

BEVERIDGE PRESSES TO USE SENSE IN VOTE ON TARIFF Progressive Senatorial Candidate Calls on Anderson Voters to Join Colors of Permanent Prosperity. Business men of Anderson, Indiana were called to the colors of permanent prosperity by Albert J. Beveridge in his address at Anderson yesterday afternoon. The Progressive senatorial candidate will speak in Richmond October 20. Beveridge said: "Let us get the business question settled and out of our way," said Mr. Beveridge. "Why should business be upset every few years by a tariff revision? No other country allows such a thing. No other country could af ford it. "If our business men would only use the same kind of common sense in voting that they use in handling their own business they never would be bothered with tariff upheavals or other business disturbances caused by foolish legislation. "I believe the time has come when the business man has made up his mind to do Just this thing. Heretofore the American business man has let the party politician do his thinking for him on political questions. That ia why the American business man has let American business be broken into all the time by unbusinesslike and silly legislation. He has done this so much that the politician has come to count cn working the business man jast as the politician likes." OPEN STUDY'S BOXES Treasurer Chamness has been notified that the safe deposit boxes of the late Thomas J. Study will be opened at the Dickinson Trust company and the First National bank October 21.

As Mr. Study had been secretive about his business affairs, it is a matter of speculation as to what the baxes will ,reveaL FOULKE JOINS CLUB TO BACK BEVERIDGE William Dudley foulke has volunteered to act as one of the directors of the Business Men's Beveridge club of Indiana.

2,000 WATCH BOSTON WIN THIRD GAME. Never In its history has Richmond watched a world's series game as it did yesterday's. One crowd in front of the Palladium stretched across the street to the swinging doors of the post office.' Main street was packed from curb to curb, excepting across the street car tracks, in front of a down town cigar store that received the Palladium bulletins over the phone, while the interior of another cigar store was so crowded that fans stepped on each other's toes. Phone Bulletins. On one loop with the Palladium telephone were all the bulletin stations. When the operator called a play, it was transmitted at once. Fans claimed it was the best service ever given in Richmond. It was supplied by the International News Service. How Fans Respond. Cheer after cheer arose yesterday in front of the Palladium as the nerve racking game was played. Fans howlsd with delight when the teams scored, or a player made a brilliant play. "We've got the game right here, all we need are some bleachers to sit in," yelled an enthusiast of the Palladium, as the game went into extra innings. The Acid Test. The popularity of a news service is gauged by the support it gets. A comparison of the crowds in front of the Palladium, the cigar stores, in the club rooms and drug stores that yesterday received Palladium bulletins, with the straggling few in front of the opposition office demonstrates that baseball fans know what newspaper gives them service, with speed and accuracy.

STALLING? iM 3 TO i WIN DECIDING CONTEST AND CAPTURE PENNANT Stalling?' Hustling Young Men Outwit Crafty Mackmen and Take the Premier Honors of the World in Four Straight Victories Break All Records With Their Performance and Set a New Mark in Baseball Annals Keep Up Smashing T actics of Attack and Maintain Defense That Baffles Athletics Decisive Defeats Give Them Undisputed Claims to Pennant
(By FRANK MENKE, SPORT EDITOR I. N. S.) BOSTON, Oct. 13. The Braves made it four straight, upset the dope bucket, and humbled the Athletics in one of the most sensational world's series in the history of the game. The score was 3 to 1. It was a sensational spurt for the premier honors of its league that the Braves made; it was a sensational series that Stalllngs crew made against the Mackmen. renowned for their baseball prowess, for years leaders of the world in everything that pertained to the great American game. Connie Mack did everything a wise general could do to stay off defeat today, but the battling warriors of Stalllngs confident and with the smiles of victors, outwitted and outgeneraled the crafty leader. After the fifth inning neither side scored, but the Braves were in the lead, and their advantage was not threatened. Boston Is crazy. This conservative seat of learning is a frenzied habitat of wild fans and baseball bugs. All culture is forgotten In the knowledge that the premier honors of the baseball world rest with the Hub, and that 8tallings crew, despised as upstarts, looked upon with contempt by the Athletics, have proved that youth will be served and old age must give way before the superior prowess of strong and aspiring youngsters, led by an aggressive leader. The Braves drove In their first run in the fourth. The Athletics tied the score in the next Inning, but Boston came back with a vengeance, adding two runs to their score. Rudolph and Moran scored when Evers singled to center. He was caught napping on bases.
Weather Cold. Thirty-five thousand men and women shivered beneath heavy coats and furs while the Braves and Athletics battled in their fourth game for the world's championship. The sun shown feebly and failed to temper the raw, cold wind that swept across the field, numbering hands and fingers, forcing even the players to move briskly to keep from becoming chilled. A defeat for the Athletics meant the end of the series meant their Inglorious defeat. A victory assured them another chance a small chance, yet a chance. And that's all the Athletics prayed for today. Annoy Policeman. There were great dark gaps in the white faces in the big outfield stands as late as one o'clock, because of the cold weather. Bundled in overcoats and sweaters, the loyal public massed as closely as possible and tried to stir up mischief by annoying the police. They pegged rolled up newspapers and peanut bags at late comers, shoved a sandwich salesman down the steps, and craftily beaned the cops with harmless missies when it could be done with comparative safety. The bands played as the players practiced and endeavored to cheer them up. The fans gave the Braves a royal welcome when they assembled on the field at 1:25 p. m. Gowdy, the slugging hero of the series, drew an j ovation when in practice, he smashed 1 the ball into the bleachers, duplicating 1 his home-run swat made in the tenth 1 inning of yesterday's game. The majority of reserved seat holders, not caring to risk pneumonia, did not arrive until a 6hort time before the game began. Mack had all his pitchers warming up except Bender. First Inning.
