Mr. Holliday has now gotten down 10 begging. Begging the votes of the j people that he may not be retired ( before the time he has promised to get out of the way.

Friday, Nov. “J,

Senator Beveridge took occasion Thursday to talk to the students of DePauw University of old college days. He no doubt thought It a better subject than to go over the political rot that Is being dished up to the people by the average Republican speaker.

The young men in DePauw University who are Democrats should make their arrangements to go home and vote. There is where their interests are and it is pretty certain that they will not be allowed to vote in this county unless they have lived here the required time and are citizens of the precinct where they offer their votes.

Will the sewer proposition die? It is understood that City Attorney Peck, Engineer Denny and some of the councllmen on the Republican side, are against the measure. If they are it is pretty certain that there will be no sewers in Greencastle. The matter of the health is nothing wthen there is any danger of losing the city at an election.

Every Democrat, in every precinct should make It a point to go to the election and see that every Democratic voter gets to the polls to cast his vote. The importance of this can not be over estimated and If the principles of Democracy are to win they must have the undivided support of every man who believes in them. Get the Democrats to the polls and when that is done we have done our best and If we do not win we will at least have done our duty.

If a man that has stood by the Republican party from its birth and voted for Its candidates all the time and has taken a nomination when It was going begging can be thrown from the ticket by three or four men in <. dark hack room of a law office what security is there in conventions? Can not any nominee on the ticket be subjected to the same treatment and the will of the Republicans he thwarted by a dark lantern crowd of kid glove politicians? Will the Republicans In the country swallow this dose from the bands of the bosses in Greenoastle?

In another column we give some of the advantages offered in Greencastle. The list may not be complete but you will do the city and yourself a favor if you will send the paper containing this notice to your friends and call their attention to the article. The piece will appear in the Herald regularly and It is a standing advertisement for Greencastle.

THE CANDIDATES COMPARED. By a manipulation of power the Fif'h Congressional District of Indiana Is so constituted that normally it is about three thousand Republican and the Democrat that undertakes to stem the tide and make a campaign has to muster up his entire nerve force in the face of the heavy vote against him. The people of this district have a candidate for the position of representative In congress Eias S. Holiday, who has served sev eral years In the place and who has announced that this will be his last time to ask for the nomination from his party. Claude G. Bowers, a young man, who makes his living by ' writing the editorials for the Terre Haute Star, is Mr. Holliday’s opponent on the Democratic ticket. Mr Bowers is untried and we can only guess as to how he will conduct himself when elected, but we have the record of the past Incumbent of the office and it is fair to say that in the last years of his office he will not make any greater effort to accomplish anything than he has In the past. Bowed with age, knowing that he will not have to go back to the people for another nomination is ‘t not reasonable to suppose that Mr. Holliday will rest out his last term and will not even command as much notice in the future as he has in the past? True Mr. Holliday sacrificed the interest of all the people of the district when he allowed his vote to be purchased for the ship subsidy bill and got as his reward an appropriation from congress for a site for a government building in Greencastle and that fact is talked of much by Republicans here and they bring pressure to bear on Democrats to get them to consider Mr. Holliday's case of re-election on that ground. Mr. Holliday should be voted for or against by the people of this district according to how he has conducted himself in congress and not for what he has done in the way of obtaining petty favors for localities here and there. By his votes on measures that have come up for consideration he has Invariably cast his strength with the trusts and protected Industries that have lived off the common people by a protective tariff that will allow them to form their unholy combinations in restraint of trade. Mr. Holliday has never stood for one principle that Is for the benefit of the common people and from them he should not receive support. Claude G. Bowers Is a young man of unusual ability. He Is young and energetic. Has a keen insight into governmental affairs and is endowed with a distinguishing mind of right and wrong with a courage that will sustain him In doing what he believes is right. He would go to congress filled with hope for the future and anxious to dp something that would endear him to his people and thereby warrant them in returning him to his post. Aside from politics Mr. Bowers has more for good in ; him than Mr. Holliday to the common people and when It comes to voting, the common man, who lives by work as does Mr. Bowers, can do himself and his family a good turn by casting his vote for the young man. AVhen It comes to ability Mr. Bowers is head and shoulders above Mr. Holliday as is demonstrated in his addresses before the people. If 1 Claude G. Bowers Is elected the Fifth District will have a representative In Congress that will be a source of pride to the people and a man who 1 will keep In mind the needs of the great army of tollers when he casts

his vote.

Democrats should be up and doing. The people are not going wild over politics these days and if the party is to win It must get the voters to the polls and have them put their ballots in the box. The greatest defeats Democracy has endured has been by Democrats staying away from the polls. There are plenty of Democrats in the country If they get out to vote.

W. J. Bryan completed his second doy’s campaigning in Indiana yesterday and used the modern power of electricity. The trip was made on time and shows the wonderful strides the human race is making in short time. Two >ear« ago this trip could not have been made, fiut It now Is an easy matter and in another two years the great Nebraskan may be able to reach the entire state without depending upon the railroads which are his avowed enemies.

The regular services for month of j November will be held next Sunday I at Hamrick. There will be no services on Saturday night. On Sunday 1 morning at 10:30 I will preach on the "Risen and Hidden Life.” Owing I to revival meetings a month ago, I could not be present. Hope to meet all the church and friends next Lord’s 1 Day. W. H. Brown, Minister, d&w

If you had an employe that was honest; gave you good service for fifty years, never had a scandal connected with his name; Improved your farm and kept down the expenses of the place, would you feel like retiring him to take up another who had never been tried In your line and who had made a complete failure in running a business on a much smaller scale? Apply this proposition when you come to voting on election day and you will cast your ballot for the entire Democratic ticket. You should do It even If you had never cast a Democratic vote before In your life.

Squire L. Fortune of Fillmore was in town today for the first time since 0< t. 29, 1904, when he was here to hear William J. Bryan speak. Mr. Fortune says he haa voted for Bryan twice and will do so again if he ever has the opportunity. He has been justice of the peace in Fillmore for 20 years and is a candidate for reelection. “And I’ll be elected” he said today. “We have a nice litle majority of 200 Democrats in our township, which is as sure as the rising of the sun.”

The will of the late James R. Walton of Fillmore, has been filed for probate. He leaves his real estate to his widow during her life after which it is to lie divided equally between his children, Lida Raines, Ollle Ruark, Albert Walton and Eva McNary. It I also provides that $100 be given to each of his grandchildren, Freddie and James Reeves, when they become ! of age and that a monument be erectI ed at his grave.

M. C. McLean, an engineer op a dinky engine at the Happy Hollow works of Sims & Co., met his death Tuesday afternoon in the twinkling of an eye. He had just taken a train of cars to the dump and unloaded their cargo of dirt in the big fill and was backing up his engine with the train hitched to the front of the locomotive. Charles Cox, the brakeman, was riding with him iu the cab at the time of the accident and when within a short distance of the steam shovel, where his train would have stopped, McLean got down from his seat and commenced to tire the engine. A rough place In the track was struck and the engine lurched and the man fell forward in front of the moving locomotive and was run over and badly cut up and his death resulted immediately. Cox saw the accident and grabbed the reverse lever and threw it back. This stopped the engine quickly and before he knew It the deadly machine was running the other way and again passed over the

body of McLean.

When the man was takeu out he was found to be horribly cut and mashed about the head and body and was dead when taken from under the train. Coroner King was called and Undertaker Lynch was sent for and the body was brought to this city where it was prepared for burial. McLean had been working about, the camp at odd times since last March. He would work awhile and then go away for a week or so and then return. He boarded at the home of William Loomis, near the works, and It was from them that his relatives were located. It was learned that he had a wife in Carnegie, Pa., and a father at Butler, the same state. A telegram was sent the father by Coroner King and he recelve-J an answer this morning instructing the body to be prepared for burial and that instructions would be sent later as to what disposal to make of it.

A brother of the deceased will arrive in this city tonight to take charge of the remains and convey them to his old home for burial.

tXKSTLY MISTAKE An unexpected mistake in the canvassing sheets of the election supplies has developed here and It Is doubtless true throughout the state and the result is that all this part of the printed matter has been ordered destroyed and another supply is to be expressed out at once. The error is In printing wrong the first name of two of the Socialist candidates on the long canvassing sheet. It is said that the error will cost many thousand dollars as these canvassing sheets were all printed and sent out to the various 92 counties.
