PROMINENT DEFECTIONS FROM BRYAN CONTINUE

Democratic Leaders from Coast to Coast Reject Vagaries off the Nebraska Weather Vane. William Prentlaa off Cklea*o Sara Bryaa aa PreaMoat Woald Be a Pailare Son there L<lf«lon* Democrat* Repudiate the Candidate Who Traiaplea on Ilia Ideal* to Cateh Vote*. The number of prominent Democrats all over the country who have announced their desertion of Bryan and have advised their friends to vote for Taft and Sherman is a matter of grave concern to Mr. Bryan’s managers. In Richmond, Va., always a rock-ribbed citadel of Democracy, a Taft business men’s club has been organised, with hundreds of members, and in Baltimore the defections of leading Democrats bas become the subject of a dally serial in the newspapers. These illustrations are given not because they are exceptional in this campaign, but because of their geographical location. In Chicago a sensation was caused by William Prentiss, who announced that he will support Taft Instead of

Bryan for President and Deneen instead of Stevenson for Governor. Mr. Prentiss has been a Democratic leader in Chicago for several years. He was Civil Service Commissioner under Mayor Dunne and has several times been Democratic candidate for judge. In 1898 he was chairman of the Democratic State convention. He was formerly an ardent Bryan partisan. In a letter made public recently Mr. Prentiss charges Bryan with betraying his followers and foreskin* the principles for which he stood prior to the present campaign. Mr. Prentiss says: “Bryan claims that he is the man to continue and extend Roosevelt’s work, claiming much of it as suggestions of his own. Less than three months ago I preferred Bryan as Roosevelt's successor. He was my party leader, in whom I then had full confidence. But, as before indicated, my faith in Bryan is a relic. Bryan, not the ideal Bryan of the past, but the real Bryan of today, surrounded by the Macks, Murphys, McGrawr, Taggarts, Sullivans and Joe Baileys et al. of the present.day Democratic, party, at the best could be bnt a dismal failure.”

California Demoerata for Taft.

John J. Barrett, for years one of the most brilliant orators of the Democratic party of California, registered this year a* a Republican. That registration has given the Democratic managers a shock only second to that which they felt when they learned that M. F. Tarpey had deserted the shifting cause of Bryan. , A "My registration speaks for Itself,” said Mr. Barrett “When asked to state my politics I said I was a Republican. That tells the tale.” Barrett preached Democratic doctrines from all the stumps of California. Reaaoni of a Worth Carollnan. Regardless of past affiliations, students of affairs, delvers and thinkers, are fast lining up for Judge Taft A recent example is that of Silas Mcßee, editor of the Churchman, of New York. In an interview he says: “I am a North Carolinan by birth and a lifelong Democrat I shall vote for Mr. Taft because he has it in his heart to bring my people of the South back into absolute union with the national life and to their historic place as a controlling force in the nation, and to do which would Immortalise him as a statesman. "I shall vote for him because be more nearly represents my Ideals of government, of social order-and economic policy than any living Democrat, or any man before the people to-day, save alone Theodore Roosevelt, who Is the only Republican President I have ever voted for. Mr. Taft has administered every trust committed to him by the nation with an eye single to the nation’s good and for the highest fhterests of the people that compose the nation.” Th« Bester la Baltimore. Mr. George R. Willis, former president of the Police Board of Baltimore and Democrat of the eld school win east the first Republican vote since he ettained his majority. Mr. Willis w’ll vote for Taft “Under no circumstances could I vote for Bryan," said he, “for the reason that I do not believe he is since «% and if sincere, is not a good man for P -esl- - of the United States." “How dd you gauge public sentiment?” Mr. Willis was asked. “Among my clientele I know of no one who will vote tor Bryan. There is not a Democrat who favors him.” Another prominent southern Democrat who will vote for Taft Is Mr. W. A. Garrett, chief executive officer to the receivers of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company. Mr. Garrett's reasons for supporting the Republican candidate are that lie fa the candidate of the business men and his election would be for the best Interests of the country. Mr. Garrett says bo has noticed a leaning toward Taft in several of the

Southern States and Instanced AlafctaMl as one of these. Two men who have always been prominent in Democratic circles in Baltimore who have announced that they did not think enough of Bryan to vote for him, and that they would support Taft Instead, are Mr. John E. Semmes, one of the prominent lawyers of Baltimore and president of the . School Board, and Mr. Leigh Bonsai, who in years past has been one of the most active workers in the Democratic party. Both men said that they could not stand for Bryan and his policies. Mr. Bonsai’s defection from the ranks of Democracy was an especial shock to the Bryan men in the State. They had counted on him as one of the prise spellbinders during the coming campaign, and had no idea but that he was an ardent supporter of the Democratic nominees. “When and where will it suit you best to speak during the coming campaign in behalf of Mr. Bryan?" Mr. Bryan’s friends in Maryland wrote him. When Mr. Bonsai replied that he intended to vote for Taft the correspondence ceased. Major Richard M. Venable, former president of the Baltimore Park Board and one of the most prominent Independent Democrats in Maryland, has declared for Taft and against Bryan. “I am for Taft,” said Major Venable, “as I do not agree with Mr. Bryan’s opinions on the various questions now confronting the public. “He has not the judgment and temperament of a statesman. A statesman knows that no matter how desirable a reform may be he must take short steps in accomplishing it He knows that it cannot be done in a day. The public mind and the new machinery of administration must be educated and adapted to introduce such radical changes as are-contained in Mr. Bryan’s program, even conceding for the argument that he is right.” Waldo Newcomer, president of the National Exchange Bank of Baltimore, says that although he believes in the principles of the Democratic party and would like to cast his ballot for the Democratic ticket, ho finds it Impossible te support Bryan and his ideas. Mr. Newcomer characterized the Bryan plank in the Denver platform guaranteeing deposits in banks as nonsensical and unnecessary. He said ths scheme smacked of paternalism, and is not founded upon sound or good business principles. Mr. Newcomer said he did not regard Mr. Bryan as the type of man to make a satisfactory or safe President, and felt that the interests of the country and the people as a whole would be far better promoted this time by the election of Mr. Taft, in whose sanity, soundness and honesty every one who knows him has the utmost confidence. Frederic R. Coudert, for years a prominent New York Independent Dem*ocrat, has stated that he intends to vote for Taft.

J. E. Smith, vice president of the • Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, whose politics heretofore has been Democratic,* has come out for Taft. He says many other Democrats among St. Louis business men will mark their ballots the same way. Now York Newa*a*er Deserts Bryaa. The Ithaca (N. Y.) Chronicle, a newspaper heretofore Democratic, has broken with that party and joined the opposition, saying: “Believing that there is no hope for reasonable men in the Democracy under its present leaders; refusing to truckle to the misfit combination of Populism, Socialism, corruption and bosslsm presented under the guise of Democracy, the Chronicle takes its stand firmly for Taft and Sherman, for Hughes and his running mate.”

Marshal Sports New Star.

Some people are known for their i deeds, some for the clothes they wear, some for the money they possess and some for the debts they owe, and almost every man has some particular trait by which he is best understood. But it takes some ‘ special badge to designate a policeman from the common herd. And -the real fly cop should have a real nice shiny star. When Dr. Frank Hemphill, of Seeleyville, was here for the home coming he saw that the badge of office that Marshal Parks had was not the latest cut, and being the high mogul of the town of Seeleyville, he did not like to think that his old home town was running behind the times any in the matter of badges for its chief of police, so he made a note of the dilapidated condition of the marshal’s star in his pill book, and when he got home he vnt tn an order for a 1908 model star with the words: “Rensselaer, Ind., Marshal” across the front The star has arrived, is a beauty and shines so brightly that a hobo can see it as he rounds the north curve into Rensselaer on his annual southern emigration trip. Billy is the proudest marshal in Indiana and it is certainly a nice thing to be remembered by former residents in so pleasant a manner.

Keep the Kidneys Well

HEALTH IS WORTH SAVING, AND SOME RENSSELAER PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO SAVE IT. Many Rensselaer people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. John C. Humphreys, 612 Ottawa St., Logansport, Ind., says: “For 16 years I suffered from kidney and bladder trouble. Backaches, accompanied by pains through -various parts of my body made me miserable, and I felt at times as though death would be a welcome relief. My back Was so lame that I could hardly turn from one side to another while In bed and it was just as difficult for me to raise from a sitting position. The kidney secretions contained a sediment and were so frequent in action as to be positively annoying. Finally I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and one by one my troubles disappeared. It was not long before I was cured entirely and I have never had any return of the complaint since.” (Statement made in 1897.) CURED TO STAY CURED.

Cm June 20, 1906, Mr. Humphreys said: “The statement I made in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills some years ago still holds good, as my cure bas remained permanent.” Plenty more proof like this from Rensselaer people.

Raised Some Fine Grapes.

R. C. Dowler brought some fine grapes to the Republican office that’ we do not think are often excelled in the tropical grape growing countries. The ones he brought in are of the White Niagara variety, and they show the possibility of grape growing in this country if the same attention is given to their cultivation that is given in countries where special attention is given to their production. Four years ago Mr. Dowler planted three cuttings, two Concord and one White Niagara, and this year he picked four bushels of grapes from the Concord vines and one and a half from the White. The grapes are in mammoth bunches, each grape is large and free from blemish. The grapes on each stem have ripened uniformly and are the sweetest we have ever eaten. In November of each year, after the sap is all out of the vines, Mr. Dowler trims them clear down to the trunk vine, and In the spring the vines sprout out healthy and strong and the strength that would have been wasted in the old sod wplus limbs passes into the fruit For b table grape the white kind that he raised are equal to almost any grape shipped in here from California, and the other varieties of white grapes could probably be raised here just as successfully with proper attention.
