TINE GREAT CAMPAIGN IN IN
.,-S....s--,.sar-u.-ss-- DlANA.

Those who remember the Presidential
caupaisn of 1910 recollect it - one in
which the entire people were animated
and electrified BY the music. the singing.
the constantly recurring incidents. the
novelties and the popular and universal
participation in the fun and frolic OF the
festive time. Nothing had SO stirred
the people to q new phase Of the then
old war feeling-the war feeling OF 1917.
By this new phase We mean another
kind of feeling than that which had SO
moved the people in behalf OF "Oid
Hickory Jackson represented the
fierce beroism of the South-New Or
leans and the Florida war. When Hsr
rison's turn came it was the North and
West where enthusiasm was aroused.
The heart of the yeomanry was touched.
The present spectacle in Indiana is that
of q revival of the old Harrisonian fervor.
The fighting heart of old memories. old
prides aud old associations is touched.
Ii will oyerbalance the ignoble, grovei-
ing anti-paeeant of a coarse old ignor-
anus masquerading in homespun. The
old time beroism Of the HOosiers is
stirred. The ersy-haired men who turn
out TO do honor to Harrison have
proud, hearty. ineradicable liking for
..Old Tip" He was the representative
man of the ancient gentry OF the West.
Il is a noteworthy fact that the Harri-
sons are of the best blood of Virginia.
General William Henry Harrison WAS
born and educated there and was COM
missioned in the army by Washington.
He was Secretary of the Northwest Ter
ri.ory; q Delegate in Congress: Cover
nor of Indiana; Superintendent OF In
dian affairs; the hero Of Tippecanoe
and Fort Meigs; q Representative and
| subsequently, a Senator in Congress: a
| Minister TO Colombia, and in 1910 elected
to the Presidency. The State pride, the
pride Of old men and middie-aged men,
the pride Of youth and achievement and
pedigree centers in his grandson. and
not in yon linsey-woolsey rustic. AS to
the campaign itself we have its most
| enthusiastic characteristics indicated IN
the following animated description by
the indianapolis correspondent OF the
| New York Times:
Never before did any man make such
a canvass in apy State as Ben Harrison
| has made, and is making, in Indiana.
A man of slight physique, nervous tenn
| permanent, easily exhausted nature. he
| has now for weeks daily faced thou
sands Of people. and never once has he
quailed or faltered. l have been al
many Of the meetings. l was with HIM
when he opened his campaign at Dan
/ Vile, and was with him when, during
the las. week. he met the greatest polit-
! ical ovation of the century at Columbus,
| in the Democratic county OF Bartholo-
new. 1t is hardly possible to convey
an idea of that meeting and 1t was not
an exceptional ope-to the ssaid East.
but will try The trouble began as
! early in the morning as 8 o'clock. with
| the mastering of the outlying townships
in the principal street of the town. The
| procession was announced to move at
1880 through the streets and out to the
fair grounds, but q rain kept back q
northern township for half an hour.
With this short delay the procession
moved through the main streets, and
ont TO the grounds. As it passed by the
| hotel. which it was two hours in doing.
General Harrison and his accomplished
wife stood upon the balcony. and saw
many things which will live long in
their memories. There were log cabins
built upon wagons. as if for actual habi-
tation, and on the roof OF each was
chained q live coon. As one of these

| who had voted for the grandfather in
1886 and 1910. put his head out OF the
| window of the perarnbulating cabin,
and waved his hat to the grandson. The
effect was electrical. Tears streamed
| from Harrison's eyes as he uncovered
! his head and bowed his acknowledge
| ments to such a compliment. and the
| thunders OF applause from the crowds
concreeaied in the streets answered IN
such way as showed how nearly the
incident had come to the hearts OF the
people.
