BAHHHART AND SHIUELY TO SPEAK HEBE OCTOBER I

Date For Rally Changed and Beveridcje Gets 26th Milburn Speaks at North Liberty and Walkerton.

Announcement Friday night that en. Benjamin F. Shively and Congressman Henry A. Farnhart. both democratic numiiH-fn for re-election, who were Lill-1 for South Hend on the nU'ht of Oct. 2G will fceak at the Oliver opera hou.se, Wednesday evening, Oct. -S. This change obviates Senator Hhively and Congressman Harnhart, democrats, and Albert J. HeveridKe, progressive nominee for United states senator, sieaking in Houth I'enl on Monl;iy, Oct. 2 1. Lleveridge now has the date. Two larse. crowds heard Robert M. Milburn, democratic nominee for attorney general of Indiana jpeak at North Liberty and Walkerton Friday afternoon and night and the speaker disclosed many interesting facts in his address relative to the status of the democratic party regarding the keeping of its promises. Mr. Milburn was accompanied on the trip to North Liberty and Walkerton by democratic nominees for county cfijes, several of whom also gavu short talks at each of the meetings. In his addresses Mr. Milburn covered many points of the democratic administration which have been attacked by its opponents. The substance of the talks proved he misrepresentation of the propriety of several important laws which have been passed by democratic legislation. In referring to the Wilson tariff law and its benefits compared with past statutes of the same nature, Mr. Milburn said: Jarty Has Kept Faith. "What accounting can the democratic party render of its stewardship? What proof can it make that it has kept the faith? In the first place it has given the people the best tariff law since the Walker tariff of IS 16. The only tariff law in that time that was not written by the special interests. Xo tariff law ever did more for the farmer, the business man or th laboring man. No class was discriminated against. Jefferson's policy f 'Kqual and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, spet ial privileges to none' was followed out. "Where duties have been removed or reduced on one product of the farms, they were removed or reduced n five or six manufactured articles at the same time. Many reductions on things we have to buy have already come and many more would have come by this time had it not been for the Furopean war, which, not even the "Wise men of the east could foresee. It will lie recognized by every fair thinking man as an honest effort on the part of the demoeratic party to relieve the people from unjust burdens and unequal conditions, without inflicting injury upon any honest business. "The making of the tariff by the consumer was a new departure in legislation. The McKinley bill, the Dinghy bill, the Payne-Aldrich hill, and in fact every tariff enacted by he republicans, were by their very nature rank discriminations against the interests of the farmer, the laborer and the small business man. because in the main, the juice of the products of farm and labor are determined in the marts of the world. The surplus of our farms goes to other countries and is determined by the

law of supply and demand. "No tariff bili can protect you in the thing you sell abroad. Hut the consumer was turned over by the republican tariff policies, bound and gacgetl to have his pocket picked and his raiment stolen by the tariff barons trusts r.nd monopolies, the legitimate spaw-i of that sort of ;t system. The 1 oof man's necessities were taxed higher and the rich -man's profits Were multiplied. It was the old game of 'Heads I win and tails you lose President Wilson sai.l of this bill: Quotes PnMilrnt Wil-oiu " 'Wi' have set the business of this country free from those conditions which h:ivo made monopoly not only losible. hut in a sense, easy and natn ral.' "Hut they say, l.Ooo.OOo busheh of corn have com in the last year from Argentina, and l.HeOH pounds of beef have beea shipped, and 'tilt4 bogy man will' t:t you. if you don't watch out. We raised, last year 2.".(00,ur'(ittoo bushels of corn and io.ut.ono.OOOthM bushels of wheat. What does l.Jec.rqo) bushels more or Uss of those products amourt to? It wouldn't feed the hogs of Indiana over night. The outh Ameriean has yet to he born who can eompete with the Indiana farmer in the raising of wheat and corn, and the price is certainly high enough to satisfy any reasonable man. In Chicago, last week. wheat was quoted at Sl.Ov 1-2 a bushel; corn at TTc; oats :u tM- a bushel: hay at 17 a ton; cattle at 11c a pound, and hogs $..:;." per hundred pounds, the highest average for prices since the i il war. ar.d the Chicago News announced in its headlines that "The cable news

indicates that the American farmer an dic tate the price- of urain.' " At Ijkci!le and Wyatt. Mr. Milburn. with a party of county nominees will go to Iakcville this afternoon and to Wyatt this evening where democratic rallies v.lil be held. The meetings in the smaller towns have been we 11 attended and up to expectations, ace'ordinf? to reports from those who have- bee n in touch with the

, situation.

Arrangements have' been completed for a democratic meeting to be held at Washington hall on Wednesday night. Oct. -'1. fJeorge Hands, state representative, will be one of the

principal speakers at the meeting while a number of county candidates will be present. Mishawaka democrats are preparing for the meeting which will be ad

dressed by Thomas Duncan, president of the Indiana public service commission, to be held in the hiph school auelitorium on Tuesday night, Oct. 20. Previous plans were to hold the meeting in the Textile building but the committee has se cured the use of the high sche.nl and Mr. Duncan will speak there. Reing the head of one e.f the most important commissions in the state which deals with matters vital to every citizen, Mr. Duncan promises to prove an attraction as he will talk on those subjects with which the voters are in close touch.

PO OT SCORED BY

FIFERS DEFENSE

Two Witnesses Testify to Seeing Joseph Smith, Accused by Fifer, at Armory on Night Druggist Was Shot.

WATERED STOCKS HURT RAILROAD

Frenzied Finance Had Much to Do With Wrecking of Rock Island False Entries Made in Books.

A decided pe.Int was scored yesterday afternoon by the elefense in the trial at Klkhart of Floyd Fifer for the murder of Emanuel Fink. Clarence Custer, a member of the local national guard, testified that he saw Joseph Smith at the Co. F. armory on the nigh' of the murder. According to Fifer's confession Smith was with him on the night of the shooting. Custer's testimony was corroborated by Claude McMillan another member of the national guard. The admission of this testimony was the first success of the defense in its effort to prove that Fifer's confession was obtained while he labored under undue influences. Cross examination by the state failed to shake either man's story. When Attorney Peak introduced, the witnesses strenuous efforts were made by the state to kee p out their testimo ny. The jury was excused while Peak and Montgomery argued the matter before Judge Harmon. The court ruled in favor of the elefense. Tn the attempt ef the defense, to prove an alibi for Fifer, witnesses who atteneled the revival services at the Linden av. Christian church em the night e.f the shoe. ting were examined. Among these was the evangelist Frank Massey. He said he could not tell owing to the crowds whether Fifer w;is present or not. Harry Mclnnes and John Ehrhart testified that they saw Fifer at the revival services but could Aot recall the night. He.wever, they said it was on the night that a Mr. McWilliams went forward. Harry Murray testifieel that he saw Fifer between the hours e.f 7 and 7: HO em the night of the shooting but not afterward. Character witnesses included a physician and Councilman from Warsaw, two women from South. Hend and a school teacher from Wars iw. All testified to the good character of Fifer. Court adjourned until Monday.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. Frenzied finance figured in the wrecking of the Ke.ck Island railroad. This became evident Friday at the investigation of that road's affairs before the interstate commerce commission. Keckless dissipation of the Itock Island railroad's assets in extravagant salaries, campaign contributions and shady business transactions were pointed out. Watering oi stock anel false entries in boeks of te company were two salient charges advanced by Fred C. Sharood, an expert accountant of the interstate commerce commission, who was on the stand most of the day. H. L,. Hine, president of the First National bank of New York, who took the stand towarel the close of the session, was characterised "a dummy director" of the Roc'c Island Railway company by Chief Counsel Joseph-W. Folk of the commission. "You believe it is the duty of a director who is a trustee of the stockholders money to look after the big interests to the detriment of the little fellow," insinuated Folk. "Not exactly that," said Hine, "but I look after the controlling interests. I am not takin- care of stray sheep." Here is the way as shown by the evidence that the Reeel-Moore syndicate controlled the Rock Island railroad: They got contr 1 in 1901'. Holding ' companies were organized in New Jersey and Iowa. Employes of the Itock . Island -were made directors in these two companies. The holding companies issued together stocks and bonds to the amount of $.30,000,000. .This amount was entire

ly dependent on the earning power of the $75,000,000 capital stock of the Rock Island company. The New Jersey company was called the Rock Island company; the holding company in Iowa was known as the Rock Island Railroad company. This whole scheme was labeled "watering" by Sharood, the expert. Chief Counsel Joseph W. Folk, representing the commission, observed. "The Rock Island is swimming in water five times its own volume." Ily the evidence produced Friday the commission showed thai, the lioek

Island lost $40,000,300 in two deals i tiir. ciln 'rf tbn 'Wiser, mid the Chi

cago and Alton. In the sale of the 'Frisco 535,000,00 0 was lost.

eptember Sales Established the

tipremacy of the Stuidebaker SIX.

' We have already pointed out that September was the biggest month in the history of the Studebaker Corporation: That September Studebaker sales were $4,277,797.92: That from Atlanta to Minneapolis, from Los Angeles to New York, the length and breadth of the country, the sale of Studebaker cars for September, compared to September, 1913, showed a total average gain of 232 per cent. This, we believe, demonstrates that the American people still have the confidence to invest, the judgment to invest, and the money to invest in d product that is staple, and a company that is standard and substantial. It was impressive proof of the confidence of our fellowAmericans in the Studebaker Corporation, as well as in themselves. Such sales, such national recognition, such prosperity, have proclaimed with particular emphasis The supreme position of the Studebaker "SIX". It means that the Studebaker "SIX" is accepted as the product of Studebaker character, 62 years in the building. And the American people themselves have helped build Studebaker character by endorsing and rewarding it. Such national endorsement as this throws the white light of national attention upon the Studebaker "SIX". The "SIX" is but a feature of the great line of Studebaker cars for 1915. And yet, we believe, more Studebaker "SIXES" were sold in September than any other six-cylinder car in the entire motor car marketThe splendid Studebaker "SIX" with its maximum of roominess, elegance, distinction and sterling motor car worth, with the excellence of Studebaker manufacturing methods and Studebaker character built into it, at a price 1385 possible to the Studebaker Corporation only, has been accepted once again by the American people as a standard and unquestionable motor car investment. And back of the perfect Studebaker "SIX", too, is the asset and guarantee of "Studebaker Service" the assurance that with every Studebaker car goes, not merely a motor, but motoring. Studebaker Service as well as Studebaker Value is an integral part and product of Studebaker Character. And the American Nation has already proclaimed the suDreme value of that.
