northern paction and Is very much delayed in the southr-rn section. pecially adjoining the Louisiana line. California: Conditions continue favorable for all classes of farm work.

"Music is an expression of a state;

of m.nd. Expression is the outgiving of a mlnl which overflows. The happy and contented man always whistles or sinp?. The burglar, the holdup man. the pick-pocket, has nothing to express in terms of music or other art. A sneak is nalurallv inaudible. The man with a merry laugh and a rollicking song is a general favorite. "It is said that there 1? r.ct a single bird of prey or a carrion bird which sings except to emit raucous sounds. He has no poetry In his soul. He screams defiance or anger but he never sings. "In the late roundup of Irresponsible radicals in the New York district, not one person who was arrested was the owner of a musical instrument. Bitterness is not expresold in music," says Mr. Frank Hnackes, V. P. American Steel & Wire Co. "I have attended hundreds of conventions In my time and I have

noted that those who have the greatest appreciation of music who open their conferences with song generally get the most work done In the mo.t harmonious manner. It might be well perhaps to supplement the congresf-lonal prayer with a glee club and it sure would wake up some of those dry bone3 if they were asked to sing . the popular sonrs of the day. "Perhaps if they would set the debate to music, something might be accomplished. At least we would know when the end of the time arrived. "What would our churches be without music? "As I have said, music Is a state of mind and the man who hath no music in himself, nor Is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is At for treasons, strategems and spoila!"

SECOND: THIRD:

To the Republicans of St. Joseph County: WILL YOU GIVE ME JUST A FEW MOMENTS OF YOUR TIME FOR A PERSONAL TALK ABOUT A MATTER IN WHICH YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE INTERESTED? LET ME ASK YOU THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

FIRST: WILL YOU PERMIT AN IRRESPONSIBLE POLITICAL MACHINE TO PICK YOUR CANDIDATE FOR

GOVERNOR, OR WILL YOU AND YOUR FELLOW REPUBLICANS PICK YOUR OWN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR CAN A MAN OF MODERATE MEANS, WITHOUT

THE SUPPORT OF A POWERFUL POLITICAL MACHINE, BE NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR

TWO POWERFUL POLITICAL MACHINES WITH UNLIMITED MEANS ARE WORKING NIGHT AND DAY, TRYING TO NOMINATE MY OPPONENTS. I HAVE NO PAID ORGANIZATIONS. I HAVE NO MACHINE BACK OF ME. I AM PAYING MY OWN EXPENSES AND INCURRING NO OBLIGATIONS. I AM NOT A CONTROLLED CANDID ATE. I AM RUNNING ON THE MERITS OF MY PAST RECORD AND ON MY PLEDGE TO FIGHT FOR THE THINGS WHICH ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT TO YOU. I AM DOING MY BEST TO FIGHT YOUR FIGHT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT I STAND FOR With Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Rootevelt, I believe that human rights are superior to property rights when the two are in conflict. I STAND FOR: (1) Social, industrial and educational justice as well as the justice of law. (2) Better housing conditions. (3) Improved working conditions. (4) Limited hours of work for women in industry. (5) Prohibition of child labor. (6) Generous support of public school system and better pay for teachers. (7) Blue Sky Law. (8) The state encouraging and finding a way to help wage-earners to own their own homes and encouraging and aiding industrious and enterprising farm tenants to own a farm. MY OPPONENTS HAVE BEEN SILENT ABOUT MOST OF THESE THINGS. I HAVE WORKED VIGOROUSLY FOR THESE MEASURES IN THE PAST. I PROPOSE TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT. YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE GOT TO DECIDE THESE QUESTIONS. UNDER THE PRIMARY LAW THE POWER IS YOURS. V; WITH YOUR HELP WE ARE BOUND TO WIN. ' ; ; YOU CAN THROW OFF THE SHACKLES OF MACHINE RULE. IF YOU WANT TO CONTROL YOUR OWN PARTY IF YOU WANT TO HELP DO THESE THINGS THAT OUGHT TO BE DONE FOR THE AVERAGE CITIZEN OF INDIANA I ASK YOU TO VOTE FOR METFOR I PLEDGE MYSELF 70 THAT PROGRAM. . EDWARD C. TONER. ,
