Vention, and make good the reputation our

ened methods.

Hall will be reserved for the business men
of indianapolis. and they are requested 10
attend as many sessions of the convention
as they possibly can, and none of US can af-
ford TO be absent from any Of them.
The delegates should be made TO feel
that our people are alive to the Importance
of this movement, and are determined TO
eliminate from politics commercial ques-
tons and stop the continual agitation of
finance by an effort to solve the problem
for the general good of the whole people.
Come to the century Club rooms. Deni-
son Hotel. Wednesday afternoon. Jan. 6.
and confer with the executive committee.
No money wanted.
A note was received from the secretary of
the Chicago Board of Trade, inclosing a
copy of the following letter. sent by that
board to the commercial organizations of
Illinois:
1T is the view of this board HI it could
perhaps at the present time in no better
way contribute TO the adoption of a sound
financial policy and indicate TO Congress
that the business interests of the country
are earnestly DESTROYS that the question Of
national currency and finance is one that
should receive the Studious and intelligent
attention of the national government. The
monetary convention was called chiefly in
view Of the belief that an expression of the
business men of the country upon this i'm
portant subject would be OF great value to
legislators. both State and national"
Among the letters received yesterday was
the following from 5. w. Allerton, of Chi
cago:
Il am in full sympathy with your move
ment- The hnancial.syStem of our country
since its formation has been in a muddle.
The time has come when practical business
men should discuss these questions. We
always learn from each other. and the fact
is Mat city government and national gov
ernmen are not anything more than a
practical business question. If we treasure
the written Constitution given us by our
forefathers, giving every man his individ-
ual rights, with reciprocal duties, "A voice in
the policies and principles that should gov
ern our country. what our forefathers had
dreamed of for hundreds of years, but
never realized until 1879. The man who
does not take an interest in pubic ques-
tions, in my opinion, is not a good Amer
lean citizen. | shall do all that | can to
promote your monetary convention"

The average percentage of the vote TO
the population is 2S.19. while Indiana's per-
centage is 27.14. or Los per cent. less than
the average.
The report of the Indiana Bureau of Sta
tistics for 1890 deals extensively with the
subject of the vote and population of this
State and Massachusetts and shows con-
clusively that something is wrong; that
there is a screw loose somewhere, and that
the screw is not in this State. The follow
ing table is found in that report. to which
have been added the figures for 1892 and
1896, which. of course, the original table
does not contain, showing the popular vote
Of the two States since 1924 and showing the

A CANDIDATE AT THE Pillow.
Dem ocratic Nominee for Governor Keeps
Company With the Mule.

Dem ocratic Nominee for Governor Keeps
Company With the MuIe.
The democratic candidate for the gov
ernorship of Iowa is man who puts in a
full days work at the pillow.
Mr.. White is a small farmer in Keokuk
county, of that state. He runs what
would be called in the south zone
horse-farm,' and he keeps personal com
pany with the horse. Occasionally b.
may hire help, but his necessities re
quire that he should do his own work
with the aid of his own family. This
does not disparage Mr.. White in any
respect. Heis a faithful and sturdy rep
resentative of that class of men who are
the backbone of our democratic republic
men who are able to do their own
work, govern their own families and, at
the same time, with sufficient public
spirit, take part in political affairs. 1t
is from the ranks of such men that our
best public officers are obtaiued-honest,
conscientious and faithful to duty.
While the democrats of Iowa are re-
joicing over the probable election of
their farmer-governor, who was found
pulling pillow out of a stump in which
it's point had snagged, they must recol-
lect that there have been farmer-govern-
Ors before. Joseph E. Brown, four
times governor of Georgia and twice it's
senator, was first called from the pillow
