Julius Caesar had been one of these

POLITICAL CHANGE
Democratic Leader Will Support Re-
publican Ticket.

Kokomo, Ind, July 20.-The great
est surprise of the year in political
way in this city is the announcement
by w. F. Armstrong that he will sup
port Roosevelt and Fairbanks in the
November election. Mr. Armstrong
has been the leader of the Democratic
party in Howard county for twenty
five years, and has had more favors
from the party than any other man in
this section of the State. He was
county auditor two terms, postmaster
under Cleveland s first administra-
ton, eight years mayor of Kokomo
and twelve years in the city council,
to which he was reelected last May.
He was a staunch supporter Of Bryan
in the Nebraskan s two campaigns, land
was for Hearst for the presidential
nomination. He opposes Judge Park
er because the New Yorker, in his
judgment, is not in harmony with the
leaders. Mr.. Armstrong was a CO.
worker with the late Thomas A. Hen
bricks, Daniel W. Voorhees, and Jo-
seph E. Mcdonald, and he has never
yet voted a Republican ticket. The
change causes surprise in Democratic
circles.

The Kansas City Star prints the
following sensible editorial:
To mo persons it will seem in
credible that another Doodle com
bine should have been formed in
the st. Louis House of Delegates.
Perhaps tue rumor that this is the
fact will prove unfouuded, but
there have been enough suspicious
actions in the new House to war
rant the investigation which is
now being made by the st. Louis
grand jury.
If the combine proves a verify it

1t would seem that after all the
exposures made by Joseph w.

Folk is still in office. But consid.

263 rabbits one day last week,
Quoted from the Centralia
Guard; Last Saturday Clarence
Stewart and Harvey Barnes, two
Centralia youths, were arrested at
Mexico on a charge of forgery, but
after few hours in the city bas-
tile were released, being the wrong
parties. 1t seems that a young
man entered a clothing store and
had $l2 suit wrapped up saying
he would call for it later. A short
while after negro appeared at the
store with note from the man
and a check for $1S signed John
Murphy and made payable to Hen
ry Turner. The merchant took
the check to a bank, suspecting a
forgery, where is was pronounced
no good. He then had the two
boys arrested, thinking they were
the guilty parties. They were
sweated" but nothing could be
found connecting them with the
forgery, and were finally released.
They have concluded that it is
dangerous to be safe in Mexico
and have marked her off their
list" The Guard is glad to say
the boys were innocent as forgery
is d bad business. This should be
a warning to them and others,
