f.. what is polite. who will hold to a just
opinion once deliberately iormec, and
who will be president himself and not a

men who control and use him for their
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT as against the

certainly very much to be desired. The

EVIL RESTS IN PARTY. REORGANIZATION.

Johnson quickly and with the energy

of the Fifty fifth congress. which has not
been subdued by his illness, ito talk
about Republicans being able to check

out alb. ndoning the organization. No in
ternal force can possibly arrest the Re-
publican party in its mad course. 1t is
amazing that leading Republicans who

policy to be fraught with deadly conse-

William J. Bryan and the Demo-
cratic party constitute the only earthly
power which possesses the will and the
capacity to save the nation from the
impending danger. The demand Of the
hour is for courageous and patriotic Re-
publicans who, thinking more of their
country than of their party, will lay
aside their prejudices and give~ to the
Democracy their earnest support.
"If the Democratic candidate is de.
feated it ill not be because he does not
stand for what is noblest and best in our
policy. but because of the vast corrup.

why his countrymeD should bestow their
suffrages upon him"
HIS INFLUENCE WITH VOTERS
Both parties here in Indiana are keen
as to the effect that Mr. Johnson's atti
ude will have with voters. This ques-
ton is all the more pertinent because
of the strong Campaign the Indiana
Democrats are now waglng. with good
prospects. it is generally conceded, of
giving the Republicans dangerously
close fight. There is no question OF Mr.
Johnson's influence in the state Four
years ago he was vigorous advocate of
the election OF Mr. Mckinley. and his re
cord has always been strongly in favor
of sound money. He has always been
conservative and fair in his entire pub
lie career. He was regarded IN mos,
quarters as the ablest member of The
Banking and Currency Committee in the
Fifty-fifth congress, and his discussion
of legislative topics before the House
commanded wide attention over the

political opponents here in Indiana have
often realized.
The concern of the Republicans over
Mr. Johnson's detection is already evil
dent from the caustic ratings in the par
tisan press regarding him. It's believed
here that before the end of the Campaign
he will be able to appear upon the
