Fear Smallpox Next Winter.

A number of physicians predict that
next winter there will be such an epi-
demic of smallpox in Indiana ss the
sta te has never known The seeds are
now being sown and when cold weather
comes they will grow with frightful
rspidIty. Ii is asserted that many cases
have never been reported and that fire.
quently the health officers have not tax
EN- proper precautions TO prevent the
disease from spreading. Many times the
physician allows his sympathies To over
ride his sense of duty and in this he
makes mistake. When winter comes
houses will be closed against the fresh
air and the germs of disease will spring
into life and an epidemic will follow.
If the disease should continue as light
as il has been the danger will no, be
great, but physicians say the mild form
always becomes more virulent the long

ors and corrupt officials in their deal
ings with the government
We demand an honest and econom-
ical administration of national affairs,
the repeal of the stamp tax, and such
constitutional amendments as will en-
able congress to levy graduated in
come tax and provide for the election
of United States senators by a direct
vote of the people.
We are opposed to large standing
army. Military rule should find no
place under republic, and We con-
denim it, whether used to administer
government in Cuba or to crush liba arty
in the Philippines.
Domestic order is best conserved by
the civil authorities, and in time of
war the safety and honor of the repub-
lie can be trusted to its volunteers.
sympathy for Beers.
We extend our sympsthies to the
people of the Trsnsvasl and the Orange
Free State in their heroic effort to
maintain their liberty and indepen-
dence.
We demand the strict infor cement of
the Monroe doctrine and the construc-
ton of the Nicsrsgnan canal and We
as an sbject surrender at English die
tstion OF the right of this republic to
fortify, and, in time of war, to control
the Nicaragusn canal.
Reform Legislation.
We call attention to the reform legis
lation which the Democratic party has
given the people of this state-the
school-book law, the tax laws, the Aus
tralian ballot, the fee and salary re-
form and the many statutes for the
protection OF labor.
The Republican party is now hypo-
critically claiming credit for the reduc-
tion in our state debt, made possible by
the democratic tax law, the enactment
of which it opposed.
1t has mutilsted the Australian bal
lot and repealed the statute making the
bribery of voters penal Offense. In
four years of absolute control of state
affairs it has failed to pass any effectu
al legislation against monopOlies or
trusts, but has uniformly defeated all
efforts to enact antitrust laws.
We pledge ourselves to an economi-
cal administration of state sffsirs, the
non partisan management of the state
institutions, the continuation of the re-
form work begun by the Democratic
party and the enactment of state legis-
lstion against trusts.
Antitrust Plank.
We call attention to the extraordi-
nary concentration of wealth and the
alarming growth of monopoly during
this administration; the arbitrary reg
ulatiOn of markets; the increased cost
of living; the loss of industrial inde
pendence; the despotic power of EN-
ployment and discharge of American
labor now concentrating in few
hands; the activity of these monopolies
In politics; their increasing influence in
the enactment and enforcement OF
laws, and the unconcern or real favOrs
with which these things are regarded

by the republican leaders. Relief can
not be expected so long as the friends
of trusts remain in office. The Demo
cratic party, free from their influence
and not embarrassed by their fav )rs,
pledges its representatives in the office
to the positive enactment and enforce
ment of antitrust legislation,
We are opposed to q protective tariff
and condemn the Dingley law as the
eliminating atrOcity of the protective
policy. 1t is unjustifiable in principle
and perniciOus IN practice, and has con
tributed TO the development and foster
ing of trusts which have bsen main
tanned under that law at their highest
point. The menace Of monopoly at
this time is most pronounced. and 20
sincere effort has been made by the Re-
publican party, now in full control of
the government, to strike blow at the
trust outrage.
We, therefore, demand the removal
of all tariff from articles made or con
trolled by trust, and that no tariff be
levied for other purposes than revenue
We renew our thanks and grateful
acknowledgement TO the soldiers and
sailors who fought in the war for the
union, the Mexican war, the war with
Spain and in the Philippines
The Pension Plank.
We protest against the policy of the
republican administration, which has
in many instances needlessly embsr
rassed the adjustment and denied the
consideration of claims for pensions
on account of disabilities, wounds and
death incurred in the military and
naval service, and demand an imme
date and just adjudication of such
claims now so long postponed. AND
we concur in the criticism of the pres
ent administration of the pension de-
partment. We, therefore, call on al
men who love their country and its in
stitutions, who hold popular govern
ment better than absolute rule, who re
sliZe that lf-gOvernment can be pre-
served only by constant adherence &c
constitutional safeguards, who oppose
special legislation and believe that al
should stand equal before the law, anC
that the flag should not be a symbol OF
! nd hr,t Of
and right, and that this republic shoulC
be guaretee of equality and equity a.
home and of honor and justice abroad
to unite with us in the vindication o.
these principles.
