[From th» Richmond Dally Item of Sept 28 J

lint thlie Regularly Nominated Head of the Tick't Will Not Pull off. Hazelctt Has Nerve.

I Include the women of the state In my appeal because I believe there la that In the work. In the policies end In the purposes of the (state) admin titration which greatly tn^tes for their welfare and for their happiness, for (tie peace and sanctity of the home, and for the protection and the safety of the fireside, and which tends to give the childhood of the state a “square deal" and a fair ahow.”—Governor J. Frank Hanly In his "keynote” speech at Tip-

ton.

When the peace and sanctity of the home and tha protection and safely •f the fireside was the issue in Richmond a year ago, where did Governor J, Frank Hanly stand? He stood for a polluted home, legalized and blackmailed prostitution and political corruption, and atood there knowingly, defiantly. Insolently, because he had an alliance with the Machine of this city. Leea than a year ago within the auditorium of th« First M FI. churoh of this city, there assembled a meeting of the citizens of Richmond to listen to the address of tbs president of the Good Citizens' League He reviewed Is vivid language ths situation as it was In Richmond at the time-—the comblna tlon of the machine, the liquor Interests, the corruption of the then-existing administration, the system of legalized prostitution, protected by the police system then In power and In turn taxed as a means of private revenue In order that they might be protected Then the speaker related how the most prominent business men had protested to Governor Hanly who was upholding this sort of a system “until after the election,’' how the ministers of Richmond had protested against Governor Hanly openly espousing the cause of vice and political corruption, how mothers and wives had protested against his holding up the hands of those officials In Richmond who were leading sons and husbands to disease, death and hell, and then this mini ’er told how a committee representative of the business community, the churches and Earlham College had visited the governor and how he insulted them. And this Is how this minister In a public meeting at the First Methodist church on the evening of October 22, last year, summed up the situation: “We were fearful of our cause when we left the governor. Women of this city sent him communications and others went to see him, and yet Governor Hanly had the presumption to say that he knew more about the situation in Richmond than we did. Honest and upright men he refused to recognize, but he did recognize the very kind of men against whom he preached in our city.” And this is how the Rev. 9. R Lyons backed up Rev. Huber's remarks: ’T am standing by the Rev Mr. Huber In his utterances concerning the governor. In my Judgment Governor Hanly is selling out Richmond for the sake of the party Machine.” ▲nd the vast audience applauded these sentiments • e e. e Shortly after his induction into office in 1903 the auditor of state became a defaulter The fact was not known until the latter part of August, 1905 The defalcation was heavy A shortage of $145,000 was admitted There were those who counseled condonation and secrecy, and the continuance of the defaulter In office, but the governor of Indiana could not consent to that He owed an obligation to you which he could not discharge In that way Before him stretched the path of duty, rugged and thorny, hut straight and true and sure That path he chose to follow The resignation of the derelict official was demanded and received, and a citizen of probity and Integrity appointed to succeed him.—Governor J. Frank Hanly In his "keynote” speech at Tipton Yea, but at the same time Hanly discovered Sherrick a defaulter, ha dlacovered Storms, secretary of state, a defaulter. Yet did he tread the “path of duty, rugged and thorny?" Did he refuse to consent to Storms's contlnua tlon In office, or to listen to counsel of condonation and secrecy In Storma's case? He did not! Instead he tried to cover It up, he protected Storma, he gave Storms until the next quarterly settlement to make up his shortage He made no grandstand play about treading the thorny path of duty In the Storms ease! And the chances are one hundred to one that Storms would still be In office with a clean reputation had not the facts In the case been discovered by the Sentinel and published After their publication Hanly had to act. His hand was exposed. His.demagogy was laid bare. His hypocrisy was made apparent, so he called for Storms to resign. Storms did not. A long-drawn-osit sham battle was fought to force Storms out. but It was ineffectual Finally Hanly went so far as to say he would call a special session of the legislature and have Storms Impeached. Storms called Hanly's bluff and Joined in the hope that such a session would convene. So Instead of calling the legislature Hanly took a trip to Washington. D. C„ to see Charles Warren Fairbanks When he came back Storms made good the shortage and was allowed to go out West to take a position with a wealthy corporation. He was not prosecuted, as was Sherrick. He was not moleste'd. Why’ Storms knows. Hanly knows, Indiana, politicians know, the railroads know, the people at Lafayette, the former home of Storms and Hanly. know. There was good reason why the psuedo-reform governor did not tread the rugged and thorny path, nor turn a deaf ear to those who counseled condonation and secrecy In Storms'* case Sherrick was not able to strike back, so he was sent to the penitentiary In order that a governor might rise upon the ruins of Sher rick’s reputation to heights where he now stands proclaiming to the state and world hU wonderful and dazzling attributes of piety, and political probity. But Storms was not exposed until a newspaper did It; he was not ousted from office; he was allowed to take his time about settling, and he was rewarded for his conduct with a more lucrative position which he was permitted to take without any effort .on the part of the governor to prosecute * • • • He (the governor) must stand consistently nnd at all times for Integrity In public office and for decency In civic affairs. He must lead In the moral progress of the people. Not his word alone, but his deed as well, must uplift and strengthen and lead the way to exalted service and consecrated citizenship.—Governor J. Frank Hanly in his "keynote"’ speech at Tipton To this sentiment we say “Amen!” And It Is not by his words, as spoken by him at the local Chautauqua, but by his deeds In connection with decency and honesty In this community, that the people of this community Judge our governor, and know him to he a sham and a fraud, a political hypo ertte, a thorough-going Machine politician who apes such real reformers as Jerome and Folk and Roosevelt, but who never puts his destiny to the touch by Inaugurating reforms or following them In communltttes where reform will hurt his political associates It Is because In cases of state notoriety that be has not made a consistent stand for Integrity In public office and decency In civil affairs that the people are coming to know him for what be Is—a consummate demagogue.

A vote cast for a Democratic congressional candidate is a vote against the trusts which are levying a private tax on the people and collecting It with heavy penalties If a man wants the cost of living to Increase and his income to go down he will naturally vote the Republican ticket. But there are not many such men left

vorkpoe, Vine street, between Washington ' -and Walnut streets.

Louis Hazelett, the regularly and rightfully nominated candidate on tihe Republican county ticket for RepJ resentatlve is the target for all the politicians of Greencastle and so far the, old nian has withstood the storm of opposition that has come from the kid glove crowd here in Oreencastle. j He has been threatened, begged and | pleaded with to get out of the way for the Oreencastle gang to name j some other candidate but Mr. Hazelett reasons that he came to the aid of nhe party at a time when no other man would help it and took the nomii nation and he Is not now going to be I humiliated by the gang forcing him j off the ticket after he has been nomi-

j nated.

The matter is getting to white heat (and the kid glove gang here is get|ting desperate. Last week John G. 'Dunbar, the postmaster, and the man who is supposed to keep out of focal politics according to civil service | rules, and George Hdnna, who has reloent/ly moved to Oreencastle and allied himself with the ring In this city, drove put to see Mr. Hazelett and talk with him further about, getting off I'he ticket. They found him hard at work. He is a brick layer by trade , and Is now at work laying brick at | the new house of Joe McMurtry, wes' of Roachdale. There is where the two big guns of the Greencas'le ring found the horny handed, rough dressed candidate for Representative on the Republican ticket. They called him from his work and began to beg him to get off the ticket. The> had a whole lot of flimsy excuses to I offer him but none of them would go with Mr. Hazelett and finally The Sage of Nubbin Ridge, with all the force he could command cracked the party whip about poor Hazelett and tried force and hhreats to oust him (but he would not oust. The talk finally got loud and Hazelett told the kid glove Representatives that he was going to stay on the ticket for Repre semtative and they could go to H or some other sea port. The two big guns turned their horses around in the road and drove back to Oreencastle. They had failed in their attempt to oust Hazelett, hut they had talked to the man in such a manner that he became so nervous that he could not go back to his work and that night spent a night 1 of horror without sleep and brooded over the accusations that had been made against him. Hazelett’s friends are up in arms against the gang in Oreencastle and if the old man is upset again as he was last week there may be something doing that Is not down on the | program for political campaigns.

The people of Danville, the village

east of us, are in a peck of trouble ner the iuterurban question. Tae fear is expressed that the line will not be built beyond that place and 'hat the town will not get any benefit from It because it will be at the end of the road and not one of the important stations. The Danville Republican carries a double column ten point article on the first page of the paper which is in the nature of a call to arms. It wants the people of Danville through the Commercial club to take the matter up and employ legal tal-

ent and the call is as follows: “It would seem hardly necessary to

review the traction history of the last two years, especially of the last eighteen months. Citizens of Danville do not realize how narrowly they escaped not having a traction line. They hardly realize how reluctantly the line was finished into Danville and it is just beginning to dawn upon them 'hat if the franchise In Danville had not expired for anather year, that the traction line wmuld not have been

finished before that time if at all. Citizens are reminded that a com-

mittee appointed by the Commercial Club to present the interests of the town and company to the high officials of the road were denied a conference with those officials. The committee had only facts to present. They had no threats to make. They asked only a hearing which was re-

Economy in government and tax reduction will follow tha success oX the Democratic party at the election. ^

An Honest Election? Mr. Editor: \Ye notice in the Bruner that the Republicans of the county are asking for an honest election next November, and this is right for J if purity exists anywhere it shoull be at the ballot box. Only known residents should vote and that vote should be case without money and without price, for a man that will sell his vote Is not particular who be sells to. Now, If an agreement made it should be made so that both parties should see to It that no Illegal vote Is cast. \Ve knoiV that the finger of scorn Is pointed at the poor 'fellow that wants money for his vote and he ought to lie disfranchised. We ' have quite a number of young men here attending school that say this is .not their home, and say they are nit going to vote here, and they said that when the 30 day poll was taken for I they were at home when the fiO day poll was taken and yet they have been led to the polls and have sworft that this Is their home and has been for the last 60 days, and then citizens of the precinct that profess to be law abiding citizens and God fearing and God loving men hold up their right hand and swear that they know them to be legal voters and legal residents of the precinct In which they desire to vote, and then when Thanksgiving vacation comes two weeks afterwards you see those same young men with their grips at the depot. Ask them where they are going and they say | “going home.” And this occurs at every vacation. The Banner and Star Press college correspondence will say they are spending their vaca".on at home. Then you ask those good citizens how It is and they say with a smile: “We got their vote, and yet ’hose good citizens ^ay we want purity at the ballot box and honest elections. When 'he young men are asked why they voted say. “They came to us and said we have a rlghf to vote. We will swear your vote in and If you get jinto trouble we will stand by you Now, Mr Editor, If we get on the election reform w’agon how far shall we ride? Citizen.

ibuse? In what way did the people of Danville acting through its committee jeopardize the plans of these gentlemen? It" is necessary for the welfare of Danville that the traction line be extended to Amo and on to Oreencastle, Brazil and Terre Haute. Danville Is not opposing in the slighest the construction of the Plainfield and Amo that road to be built so rail communication would be had with still more towns of the county. But Danville Is especially concerned in the contruction of the Danville and Amo line

The regular storm period chartered from the 2d to the 7th, will take up the disturbances and renew and prolong them during the first week of the month. Taking the country as a whole every variety of storm from tropical and tornado southward,- to boreal, with early sleet and snow In the extreme north and northwest, are among the probabilities at this

time.
