a candidate for joint senator from Nlgo'
Vermilion and Parke counties. The SEN
ator urged the Importance OF eiectns the

alluded to Mr.. Barcus as "clear-headed,
splendid citizen of Terre Haute, ana one
who will do honor to his constituency. Inc

the latter he remarked: Senator Barcus.

Senator Fairbanks also talked of the
other candidates for representatives from
this county, Hall and Nehf, and alluded IN
a complimentary way TO Mr.. Watson, cam
didate for joint representative. one OF the
features of the meeting and one that grau-
fed the Republicans was the presence OF
so many OF the oldtime leaders OF the
party. Nicholas Filbeck. whose counsels
for good in the party are well known ana
cherished by the old-time leaders, was there
with his usual radiant smile. Near MIN

the Terre Haute veteran soldiers when ne
stepped on the stage.
Senator Fairbanks spoke for nearly two
hours and received the best of attention
His story of prosperity and Republican
progress was listened 10 with intense inter-
est. Perhaps in other city IN Indiana
would such story be heard with greater
interest than In the Prairie City. for no set
of men know better the Dement'S or a Re-
publican administrator than Terre Haute
laboring men. The senator might have
spoken specifically of Terre Haute as a
type of city that has benefited peculiarly
under this administration. There were a
good many old soldiers in the audience and
they were especially interested in Senator
Fairbanks's Thorough exposition OF the
Philippine question. They cheered his ref
erence to ''our boys and "our flag in the
Philippines. In his speech he covered the
tariff the trusts, the financial question,
and, in fact, all the isues that are before
the people in this campaign In so clear ana
forcible a manner that no one needed to go
away from the armory badly informed.

MONEY to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNTRAcT.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain BY
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. II
is NOT a loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
b The maximum number of payments re-
quired to pay off is stipulated IN the note.
The sum required to pay of and cancel a
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. ~ The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes small monthly payment longer to
cancel debt than it does larger one.
