ROCKVILLE, Ind. Oct. 13.-In the pretty
little theater here tonight Senator Charles
w. Fairbanks addressed fine audience on
the important issues of this campaign. The
senator spoke for nearly two hours, and
was given the best of attention. Unfortu-
nately, Rockville is without band at this
time, but drum and fife corps awoke the
echoes of Parke county's hills.
People came from all over the county
to hear Senator Fairbanks, some driving
as far as twelve or fifteen miles A great
many women came out to hear the speech
and the senator complimented them. 1.-The
women" said he "are equally interested
with us in the result of this election. al
though we hold the ballot"
Senator Fairbanks was introduced by
Henry c. Daniels. ex-county prosecutor.
In the audience and on the stage were
some of Parke county's best-known Repub-
licans. Among the familiar faces in the
audience was that of James T. Johnston.
who formerly represented the old Eighth
district in Congress. Among other Re-
publicans of prominence were David
Strouse, ex-county clerk; A. A. Hargrove.
editor of the Rockville Republican; Elias
H. Owens, county chairman and for two
terms a member of the State Legislature;
e. c. Carter, trustee Of Sugar Creek town
ship; Elmer Heath, farmer and teacher. E.
H. Holiday, representative in Congress
from the Fifth district, also sat on the
stage, and in the audience was Howard
Maxwell, VINO made the race for the con-
gressional nomination against Mr.. Holli-
day. In introducing Senator Fairbanks.
Chairman Daniels spoke briefly. 1.-The SEN
ator from indiana said he, needs no
introduction to our Indiana audiences. for
he is honored by his people everywhere.
We feel it an honor to have him with
us. He comes to us to tell US what he
knows of the political situation to-day
1t is an honor to me to present to you Sem
ator Fairbanks"
In the opening remarks the senator re-
called a former visit to Rockville during
the campaign six years ago. Six years. he
said, is not long period in the life of a
nation but when we stop and think what
has been accomplished In the last six years
they seem vast indeed. Senator Fairbanks
said he thought he and his audience could
profitably take a view OF the last ten years,
since they afford an opportunity of study
ing the policies of the two great political
parties. In the course of his talk he con-
trasted existing conditions with those of
a few years ago IN vivid way that must
have set the Democrats in the audience
thinking.
eff there are Democrats here" said the
senator "who have done me the honor of
their presence / desire TO address them as
one neighbor and one friend addresses an
other" Senator Fairbanks in his talks does
not quarrel with the Democrats in the audi
ence but treats them fairly and discusses
issues with them as one neighbor with an
other There is nothing in a name" said
the senator at one point In his speech.
"Republicanism means nothing except as
ministrations-

trust question and the tariff, pointing ont

The Republicans of Parke county are well
pleased tonight with the manner in which
Senator Fairbanks handled the different
issues. and are glad there were a number
OF Democrats In the audience. Senator
Fairbanks spoke In complimentary way

day, James g. Barcuk. candidate for Joint
senator. and 2. II. Owens who u q candi-
