BEST OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Spooner Meeting Leads All Others
"A Great Success.


By far the best and biggest meeting
of the campaign was that held in Turner
Opera house last Wednesday evening
under the auspices of the Mckinley
and Hobart club and addressed by
Wisconsin's little giant" ex-senator
John G. Spooner. Long before the ap-
pointed time the large auditorium was
packed to the doors, and when Mr..
Spooner took the platform to begin his
admirable speech of nearly two and
ne-half hours, all the available space
was occupied Large delegations from
the surrounding towns were present
and the tremendous audience con-
tanned liberal representation of farm
els. The stage was occupied by mem
bers of the local club and friends from
out of town. The Sinnissippi band fur
nished music and the meeting was
opened and closed with popular selec-
tons by the Republican Campaign Glee
club.
Mr.. Spooner was introduced by Jesse
Stone, Who presided. He is a great
favorite with local Republicans and his
reception was most cordial. Although
not In good voice the senator entered
into the spirit of his work with his
characteristic energy and vim, and it
was not long before he had his audi
ence deeply interested. Ali through
the speaker enjoyed most respectful
hearing In fact. his speech was con-
structed OF such interesting, though
common place, illustrations, that no
one could help but listen to the extra
ordinary logic and argument Every
saying was clearly put and Mr.. Spooner
displayed a fund of knowledge on all
the leading questions of the campaign
that easily places him in the front
rank Of this country's political orators.
At times Mr.. Spooner grew intensely
eloquent and then his grandness as a
public speaker was all the more evil
dent. The meeting was a very enthu-
siastic one and in results was most
satisfactory to the Republicans Mr..
Spooner's efforts must everywhere be
highly beneficial to the cause which he
represents. The Republicans of Wa
tertown have just cause to feel proud
over the great success in every way of
the meeting and Mr.. Spooner should
be gratlfied over his hearty reception.

on Wicked Coercion" in which there
is wholesale and uncalled for attack
upon the Mccormick Harvesting Ma

this opportunity to state that in all
these twelve years of connection as
employer and employed there has
been no effort made on the part of
this company either directly or in
directly to influence my vote in any
direction.
Not only is this my own experience,
but it is also that of every one of the
thousands of paid employees in the
company's service, as they testify.
The Mccormick Harvesting Machine
company is not a company of bull
dozers, but one of enlightened men
who believe their men to be intelligent
and able to judge for themselves as to
whom they shall vote for, and their
men are allowed to vote according to
the dlctation of their own cousciences
with no such doom as loss of their
positions held up to them either by

WHO DROWNED THE BABY ?
Sensation Over the Death of Ella
Rates' Cbild--Three Arrested.

SULLIVAN. Ind, Dec %, 1ss6.-The SEN
sation over the drowning of the iliegiti-
mate child Of Ella Bates. four days old
about ten days ago. near Moron, has
taken new turn. A detective has been
working ON the case for some time, with
the result that afidavits were filed yes
terday afternoon charging the girl. her
father and mother, with the murder
Bates was arrested yesterday and the
case not being bailable, he was taken to
jail and the officers started at once for
the mother and daughter. Bates protests
that he is innocent. The babe was found
about ten days ago drowned in a spring
not far from the Bates house. The girl
was sleeping in room next to her mother
and father, and 1t was claimed by the
family. after the crime was discovered,
that che was chloroformed, bound and
gagged, and the child taken out of the
window.
This story was not believed, and 1t was
often limited that the guilty ones could be
found close to home. The deed was laid
by the family upon young man who was
responsible for the girls ruin, and as he
disappeared shortly before the birth of
the child some credence was given to the
chloroforming story. but it Is not now
credited.
