REPUBLICANS SEND LEAGUE MAIL

The following letters explain themselves. The first one, sent out by James P. Goodrich, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, to Republican Precinct Committeemen, was intended to put in his possession the names of “from five to ten reliable temperance Democrats.” When he had secured these names, the other letter given below was mailed to them by the "Anti-Saloon League.” The letters show the close-working arrangement between the Republican State machine and the ' League.” If any “reliable temperance Democrats” receive the “League’s ' appeal, they will understand that it comes to them merely as a part of the Republican campaign. Here are the letters: Indianapolis, Oct. 21, 190S. My Dear Sir: This is very important. Plea e send us in the enclosed envelope j t as quickly as possible, the name of from five to ten reliable temperance Democrats of your precinct. If yon will do this, I am sure that there will be votes made for the Republican ticket. Please write the names and postoffice addresses on the back of thisheet and return it to us in the enclosed stampeik envelope b\ .eturn mail. Very truly yours, James P. Goodrich, Chairman When the names were received this letter was sent out from Rliean headquarters.

Dear Sir:

In our opinion, Indiana is confronted with the most serious crisis since the civil war. I’nless the friends of temperance stand together against the liquor interests at the coming election we may lose those advantages which have been gained by years of strenuous endeavois. It is the intention of brewers and other managers of the liquor interest ! to elect a governor, a lleutrnant- ! governor and a legislature in Indiana itliat can bo depended upon to repeal the county 1 >cal option law. They are j doing their utmost to defeat AUorn-jey-General James Bingham for reelection, because he lias brought suits against the leading breweries in the Stale to have their charters annulled on account of their con-

.Marshall uiid His Cliurcli.

The following from the Presbyterian Clergyman at Columbia City, Mr. Marshall’s home, is interesting to many who have given ear to some of the slanders going the rounds: “Columbia City, liid., Oct. 19. 1908. “Mr. Frank W. Carr, Charleston, Ind “Dear Sir and Brother—Pardon me for my delay in answering your inquiry. I am very glad to have the opportunity of telling you about Mr. Marshall, and 1 wish every elder who hears such reports would do likewise. “Mr. Marshall is a man of unimpeachable character in every respect. He is the foremost man in this town in a religious way, and both h? and liis wife are the chief pillars of support in our church, financially anJ spiritually. He has been a trustee since the church was organized, and is also a bible class teacher, and Is on the executive committee of the Presbyterian Brotherhood. H3 is an ardent churchman, a true blue Presbyterian of the old-fashioned school. “Not only is he not a drunkard but he is a total abstainer and has been for many years. No one here even dreams of Tom Marshall tasting liq-

uor of any kind. His wife i> our primary teacher in the ?*unday School and our most capable worker in all the church and mission ly societies. She hr. always accompanied Mr. Mr rsliall on his law and business trips as a matter of congeniality, for they have no children, and live by themselves. He could not make his campaign without her, for she is a great support physically and sympathetically. Any other motive for her traveling I wish, as their pastor, to brand as a malicious campaign lie. “Mr, Marshall’s first hobby in life is the Presbyterian church, then the Democratic party, and he is In every way worthy of the support and encouragement of church people, and especially those of his Oiwn household of faith. I wish you might in every way help to counteract those fake reports in your community. I have written very conservatively about him, and any other minister in town will confirm what I have said. Mr. Marshall has always refused to become an elder. Anything you may see fit to do with the contents of this letter in the interest of Mr. Marshall you are at liberty to do. Fraternally, “A. D.

CARS BURN

A string of seven empty freight cars, belonging to the Big Four, was burned Sunday morning, causing a iloss of two thousand dollars. 1 The cars were on the old track near

Barnaby’s mill. It is supposed they caught fire from fires put out by tramps.

The New York World says that Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan “have assisted In hastening the day of honest publicity,” and regrets that President Roosevelt has never shown an equal interest In divorcing corrupt

| There Is no time for the friends of i good government to dwell upon mere , party differences or microscopic differerces in temperance methods. We are confronted by a common foe, bold, brazen, determined and unscrupulous. and it is now necessary j for good citizens of whatever party! or church affiliations to stand together like a wall of adamant. We therefore urge voters to stand by those candidates for re-election who voted for the passage of our county local option law. We urge j that every candidate favorable to the j saloon lie defeated.

Wednesday:

FOOD FOR THOUGHT. To the Indianapolis Star: It seems to me that the Republican newspapers of this state, as well [ as the Republican orators are not bringing to the attention of thinking men as forcibly as they should a very significant condition in this campaign, ami that is that every distill t*r, every brewer, every saloon keener, every thief, every keeper of an | immoral resort, every prostitute in i state of Indiana are a unit in support of Thomas R. Marshall for Govern-' or. And In consequence every man who believes in the sanctity of home,: in decency, in morality, in law en-l forcement, in protection of children! from debasing influences, in educa-' tion, in the moral uplift of the community, should bend every energy to I ree that a ticket which rallies to its | support such an array of the worst [ elements of civilization should go | down to complete and utter doieat. | Never in the history of political parties has the line between right and wrong been as strongly marked as in this campaign, and I think it behooves every man and every newspaper that stands for decency to hold up to view the picture of this immoral combination that decent men may shun it as a pestilence. NORTH NEW JERSEY. The only reply necessary to such p vicious statement is that if it were possible to prove that everj sal nun keeper and prostitute In Indiana is supporting Tom Marshall, which it Is not. it is absolutely true that Tom Marshall is: not supporting the saloon keepers and prostitutes in any way.
