OPENS INDIANA BATTLE.
Frank Han1y Evokes Great Enthusi-
asm at GreencasfIe.

Tor Governor, opened the campaign in
Indiana at Greencastle with a speech
before the Putnam county convention.
MIR. Hanly was given a rousing recel ton.
he spoke generally and at great length
of national issues. He eulogized Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks,
the vice presidential candidate, and ar
raigned Congressman Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams and Gov. Varda-
man of Mississippi, whom he charges
with an attempt to make personalities
the issue of the campaign. Mr.. Hanly
spoke in part as follows:
Standing In the very presence of the
dead, amid nations grief and a peoples
wondering fear, Theodore Roosevelt, with
upnItea hand, made them this solemn

constant and victorious war. from then till
TINS glad hour, In behalf Of every policy
toilet or fought. He has redeemed the
bond and kept the faith.
Indiana presents for the vice presidency
a man equipped and qualified with every
essential requirement not only for that
high office, but for the greater and higher
one of the presidency itself. Unlike the
vice presidential candidate of the opposi-
ton. he was not born during the admins
tration of James Monroe. He is not so old
an edition as that but he is a better one.
he lives in the present rather than In the
past He is an actual, breathing, living en-
t1ty OF the day, and no. a fading reminis-
cence OF other times. His thought and
MIND are upon the things that are, rather
than upon those that were. He looks Into
the future and not into the grave. His
nomination was not born Of a desire on
toe part OF the party management to ac-
qulre from him the means of corrupting the
1rancnlse OF his countrymen, but of knowl-
edge Of his worth as a man and his solid
attachments as a statesman.
In the Senate Of the United States he nas
proven himself worthy successor of Harri-
son and Morton. He was McKinley's friend
and Hanna's confdant. In him are met
and blended the simple grace. the courtly
charm and the kindly nature of the one,
and the rugged strength and sturdy COM
mon sense of the other. Born in Ohio, he
has lived among US until he is, in fact,
Hoosler product, and Is as though he were
to the manner born. No better type OF In
diana citizenship of this day and hour can
be found
Wise in counsel, conservative In action,
fearless In debate, disnihed and self-pos-
sessed amid turmoil ana excitement, he
holds the confidence Of all the people-the
PROFESSIONAL and the business man. the rich,
the poor, the laborer and the capitalist. We
tender him to the nation with conscious
pride, knowing him rs we do. and believ-
Ing, as we do, that his life is clean and
spotless, that his patriotism is undefled,
that his ability to serve the country is
great, and that his every impulse is high
and holy.
Appeal to Young Voters.
Knowing that the issue Involves his des-
tiny, and therein the fame and glory of the
State, we call upon the 1900 young men
In Indiana who for the first time are bout
TO exercise the priceless privilege Of the
pallet, to start right by accepting the doc
trlneS Tor which he stands and by enlisting
under his banner to the end that an answer
worthy the hour, the man and the oppor-
tuni.y, may be given by our people in No
Yenlber
The achievements of the Republican party
during the fifty years OF its existence, and
the forty years of its power, are the
achievements of the American people The
record Of the one is the history Of the 9TH
er. The two are inseparable The hopes,
the aspirations, the thoughts and the pur-
poses of the American people have found
expression and realization for half a cen
fury only through the declarations and acts
OF the Republican party. For forty years
II has had the peoples power Of attorney.
Acting under that high authority il has
written statutes rendered judicial DEGREES,
soiemnized treaties and made amendments
to the constitution itself. These statutes.
DEGREES, treaties and amendments consti.
tute the political and civil history of the
republic for the time they cover. In them
can be traced, year after year and decade
after decade, the growth, the DEVELOPMENT
ana the progress of the country, and In
them the basic causes of the prosperity, the
peace, the happiness and the ever increas-
found.
In each campaign the Republican party
submits a record Of things done. Of laws
enacted, of policies established; but with
a single exception the Democracy has never
been able TO submit more than q program
