HOW GENERAL LEE STANDS

Retired Officer Would Support the Democratic Candidate if ho .Should Vote This Fall—Would he Just One “Scratch"—Would Override Political Beliefs by Personal Friendship and Vote for Mr. Taft.

IS STRONG IN DEMOCRATIC BELIEF

When shown an alleged interview written by Louis Ludlow and published in the Indianapolis Star this morning, which stated that he had said that if he voted this year he would vote for Mr. Taft, and that he advised all of the old soldiers in Indiana to do the same, Major General Jesse M. Lee, retired, gave an entirely different version of what he had said to Mr. Ludlow’. “I am a Democrat.’’ said General Lee. ‘T have always been a Democrat, and if I voted this year I would vote the Democratic ticket, excepting in one instance. I would vote for Mr. Taft. “My reasons for this are purely personal. Mr. Taft and myself have been warm personal friends for years and I would vote for him on that account. As far as the rest of the ticket is concerned I would vote for the Democratic candidates. “I am not going to vote, however, as I leave for San Antonio tomorrow, to be there all wintef. I have not advised my comrades to vote for Mr. Taft, nor will I do so. “I am a Democrat and believe in Democratic principles. This bosh of the Republicans saying that if Mr. Bryan Is elected there will be no crops, that the sun ’’ be hid by a mist, that busl’ 1 '' ivity will cease. That Is all “In Indiana? Why i would vote for Mr. Marshall and all the rest of the Democrats. Mr. Watson Is no* the man who should fill the Governor's chair, if I should vote In Indiana I rVmM certainly vote for Mr. March c" “' r -1 if I should advise my comrades to vote T would advise them to vote for Mr. Marshall. But t am not advising. I believe the old aoldiers are competent and capable of deciding these things for themselves. “My friendship for Mr. Taft began years ago. He was at the head of the War Department when I was a Major General. T know the man well and admire him. He is a personal friend and If I voted this year I would vote for Mr. Taft. I would vote for him because he is my friend and not because of his political belief."

THE PEOPLE S f COLUMN

AS TO REPUBLICAN MORALS.

A Cloverdale Democrat is Roused to Reply to Some Statements in Regard to the Democratic Party made by Mr. Moore.

Cloverdale, Ind., Oct. 19, ’08.

Editor Herald:

The Republicans have had their spell-binders here and the people have been treated to the usual amount of “dope” dished up in regulation “Artful Dodger” style. The entertainment was furnished by Mr. George W. Hanna, Mr. Maxwell and Thomas T. Moore who, h ’ho way, was stripped by Cu.cm- '■ 1' ly who spoke here recently, of the credit being the respected father ot Uie Moore Remonstrance Law. Gov. Hanly surprised his heaters here •when he laid claim to all -.he credit of suggesting and securing the passage of the law that bears the name of Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore did not dispute the claim of the Goverm and Democrats and Republlca. alike regret to see Mr. Moore despoiled of the honor he has in the past been claiming as author and pro- j nioter of the Moore Law. Mr. Moore 1 made his characteristic campaign speech, anil pointed with pride, backward, to his legislative record. He said, however, that he was opposed to the special session of the legislature recently called by the governor, and admitted that the governor had the Republicans in a box and the only thing that they could do was to pass the County Option Law, for if they did not they would he called cowards by the Democrats and this Mr. Moore could not stand, and hence to avoid the accusation of cowardice the Republicans were forced to pass the bill. Mr. Moore told us that it would be no easy thing to put the I/rcal Option Law into operation as It would re-1 quire at least 1040 legal voters to put the law to test, and that it would be well to have many more than 10 40 legal voters as many named might be taken from the petition. He did not tell us that It would cost the taxpayers of the county about $3 500 to hold a special election, and that this e*pc would have to be met every two years, or in other words that It would cost the taxpayers of the county about $150 per month as long as the law lived to vote saloons out of a Republican Township, by 'he way, the strongest and most en♦Tuipinstic hot-bed of Republicanism 1 ^ a .il County. Greencastle vnship and City. Mr. Moore never mentioned the fact that every Democratic Township In Putnam

County had already settled the sa- 1 I loon question, but as a parting shot at us told us to vote for morality and the Republican party and not vote with the saloon party, (1. e.) the

Democrats.

; . i Mr. Moore has evidently but little faith in the morality of the voters of Greencastle, and Greencastle Township, since he virtually admits that the City of Greencastle , and the Township Is unable to handle the sa- j loon question alone. He fears that God and morality and the Republt-1 can majority located almost In the shadow of DePauw University can- j not, or could not, vote saloons out of Greencastle without calling for help of the other thirteen townships of the county, o, shame, shame! i Now Mr. Moore, when next you make a speech, will you please explain why Greencastle Township and City could not, If we had a township option law, vote out the saloons at its own expense. IVhy would It nail on l ’” Democratic townships for help? j V st of Greencastle as being he sc at of intelligence, the home ofmorality, the strong-hold of Republicanism, (the only township in the county that ever elected a negro to a public office), the place that gave birth to Asbury University, and now the homo of the greatest Methodist College west of the Alleghany Mountains, with all its boasted faculty, who are now playing politics, and urging the unsophisticated students under their charge to vote the Republican ticket, with all these elements combined you confess yourself unable to do what Cloverdale Township and Town did almost twenty years ago. We settled the c-.imr:-questlon at onr own expense ar, t ot get a single penny from G -'encastle. We made no loud how! either. nor did we try to make a political question out of the saloon or drug

store. We did this work, not as a political party, but citizens, friends and neighbors, and at that time we had about 200 Democratic majority in our township, and still Mr. Moore hart the audacity to come down here and call the Democratic party the 1 rewery party. O, shame on you, Mr. Moore. We hope you will take these facts of history into your dome of thought and that they may brew and work until you can free yourself of that bitter partisan feeling that makes you think that the Republican party has a patent, copyright or option on all intelligence, decency and morality. A CLOVERDALE DEMOCRAT.
