Watson, in paying tribute to Miss Mary Stewart of New York, secretary of the woman's branch of who had preceded him, declared that he was converted to the cause of woman's suffrage because the women of the United States are the chief barriers to Socialism -now threatening this country. Republicans had gathered from all over the district to attend the rally, which was held at a local theatre, because of threatening weather. Despite a rain, wliicli had drenched the roads, a large out-of-town delegation was at hand, packing tie theatre. Is addition to Senator Watson, Representative Fred S. Pumeil , ar.d Miss Stewart w-ere the speakers cf the An ovation -of oeveral minutes was given Senator Watson when he arose to speek and when Representative Purnel declared srthat three-fourths of the Republicans in the House are in favor of Watson for President, the crowd arouse to its feet, shouting its approval. He Likes the Senate Senator Watson in replying said that he was not out for the presidency that he was .content to remain in the Senate and alLhevwished was to be returned. The senator at the outset of this ppeach dealt with the woman suffrage issue, saying that-the time had come when the women of America must be organized to prevent from being fooled again. "It was the woman's vote that elected President Wilson," he declared, "and they voted for him because 'he kept us out of war', to fool them again with 'keep the whole world out of war' "I was not for woman's suffrage at first," said the senator. "It was not until I began to fear Socialism. Socialism is against private ownership. Socialism strikes at the home. It does away with marriage. It takes the babies away from the breast of the mothers and does away with all that is sacred to American womankind. For tliat reason I am for woman suffrage." Raps Administration The senator went into an elaborate attack of both administrations of Presdcnt Wilson, declaring that the weak policy with Mexico led Germany to believe we would not stand up for our rights. He assailed President Wilson's election on his "program of hypocrisy.' recalling the billboards that spread the campaign's slogan, "He protected me and mine," when he knw at that time war was inevitable. The senator declared that that was reducing politics to a low plane and pppealed for the square deal. lie also assailed the railroad administration and then jumped on the ieague of nations. Senator Watson (tpclared that peace with Germany could have been concluded long ago if the President had not insisted on the league. WORK ON COUNTY'S WAR HISTORY WILL IE STARTED SOON E. M. Haas, who declined the chairmanship of the Wayne county committee on compilation of war activities for the state history, has been re-appointed by the state historical commission and has accepted. Haas will organize his committee, and start the work of gathering the data on all Wayne county's war activities within a short time. One of the most important phases of the work will be the gathering of facts regarding Wayne county's soldiers, sailors and marines. House to house canvassing will be instituted for the purpose of establishing a complete record of every man from the county who served in the war. Every Liberty Loan campaign, the part of the War Mothers, Red Cross and other organizations will be set forth in the proposed history. Citys Folks Particular on Mail; Return Much Surprising is the number of people who decline to accept mail. Clerks at the postoffice find that duns are especially unpopular. "Some people will open a letter; read it, and though it is plainly addressed to them, return it to the postoffice with the statement that it does not belong to them," say the clerks. This generally happens when the letter is the remainder of an overdue bill, or from a former admirer who is "trying to make up." Such letters are returned to the sender.

Appeal is Issued For T. R. s Memorial; Committee Named

BY LEWIS G. REYNOLDS ATRIOTISM feeds and grows upon local tradition, historic events and the memory of famous men. The daily life, the deeds and the character of Theodore Roosevelt must appeal to the deepest sentiments of every American man, woman and child. To perpetuate his memory on some grand and lasting scale is almost a personal duty of every dweller under the flag he loved and served so well. His varied activities from young manhood up to the very day of his death must, from some angle, or other, strike an answering chord in every human breast. He was a truly national character long before he actually appeared In public life, and his advent into what we are pleased to call 'politics" because there is no other word which seems to describe it was just as sure to occur in due time as was the call for Abraham Lincoln. National Body Worthy The National Roosevelt Memorial Assosiation, which has in hand the planning and execution of all the details of the several contemplated memorials, is officered by men and women of national reputation, who will put into the work the very best they have of heart aand mind and soul. The present plans of this national committee contemplate the following definite things: First To build a suitable and lasting memorial at Washington, D. C. Second To establish a national shrine at Oyster Bay, Long Island, the home of the former president. Third To acquire, restore and maintain Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace at No. 28 West Twenty-Second street, New York City. Fourth Through an endowed foundation "to perpetuate Colonel Roosevelt's ideals of courageous Americanism." Theodore Roosevelt probably was the most typical American this country has ever produced, and it is the bounden duty as it should be the pleasure and privilege of every man. woman and child in this nation to so perpetuate his memory that the inspiration to be absorbed from all that he was, and all that he did. shall not be lost to the present generation, nor to generations yet unborn. County's Quota Small. The quota for Wayne county is only $3,750. Let us make it double that amount, and without any hesitation, without resorting to personal solicitation or individual begging.

Any sum above $3,750 will be applied to the erection of a beautiful rind appropriate memorial in Indiana, under the direction of the following state committee: Chairman, William O. Bobbs; vice-chairman, Mrs. Linton A Cox; honorary chairmen, Thomas Taggart and Albert J. Beveridge; honorary vice chairmen, Governor James P. Goodrich, William Dudley Foulke and Lucius B. Swift. The chairman for Wayne county would like to limit the amount of individual subscriptions to $5, preferring to have a large number of subscriptions, rather than large sums from a lesser number of subscriptions. Wayne county is put to the test. Let us see if she rises to the occasion. Do not "put off" action in so good a cause a single day but send your Muster Rolls for County Company of State Guard Are Ready for Signatures Enlistments for one and three years are now available in the Wayne county company of the Indiana National guard, according to Frank Benn, who is in charge of recruiting the county company.
