Names Some Issues That He
Holds Vital to the Peo-
pie of the Country.
CAMPAIGN OF FAIRNESS.
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS SAYS
HIS MOTTO is HARD WORK AND
THAT 1T is HIS HOPE FOR sUc-
CESS.

The Rev. ]. o. Campbell, pastor of
the Fifth Street Methodist church,
who some time ago announced his
candidacy for congress, and who has
since been much encouraged and is
we'll pleased with the outlook, makes
the following additional statement as
to his position:
In announcing myself as a candi-
date for congress in the Sixth Indiana
district. I desire to name some issues
which | hold as Vita to the welfare OF
the people of our country. Among
them are the Tariff Revision and the
Child Labor problems which clamor
for recognition. A uniform marriage
and divorce law is imperative as
safeguard to the family and likewise
to the nation. State rights and the
federal constitution need to be more
closely defined and the authority of
the government recognized and re-
spected. The conflict between capi-
tai must be considered and means to
promote harmony and increase mutual
as a National safeguard; the immi-
grant question; public improvements
and international relations besides
many others are clamcring today for
careful and wise consideration.
These are principal issues that
deeply concern the moral, social and
financial welfare of our nation today
and the solutions of these various is
sues will determine very largely what
we shall be as nation in the next
generation. National prosperity de-
pends largely upon wise legislation.
Conditions constantly rise which call
for a change of law. To foresee these
conditions and avert a crisis is the
work of craftsmanship. To be ignor-
ant of them or ignore them is coward
ly and foolishness. Such procedure,
or lack of procedure means calamity
and suffering.
"In making my campaign | shall en-
deavor to be honest and fair and only
ask favor as a result of confidence.
l shall aim to rise above personalit-
les and talk and work for the right
and oppose the wrong. The things
that will be of greatest interest to
the people; the questions that will
make private and pubic life better
will find be ever ready to espouse
them.
My motto is Hard Work This is
my hope for success. My opponents
in the race will not have cause to fear
deceit and treachery. Gentlemanly
courteous treatment is due any man
who honorably aspires to fill a posi-
ton of trust and responsibility. To
be a MAN, spelled with capital letters
is the first, last and only recommen-
dation that should ask for the recog-
milton and confidence Of the people"

KERN MAY GET THE
SHOES OF TAGCART
Is Likely to Be Named DEM
oCratiC National Com
mitteeman.
HIS SUPPORT is GROWING
EX-MAYOR HOFFMAN OF INDIAN
APOLIS, HEAD OF THE ANTI
TAGGART ORGANIZATION, DE-
CLARED IN FAVOR OF KERN.

indianapolis, Oct. 5.-Ex-Mayor John
w. Hoffman, of Indianapolis, in an in
terview, declared himself in a very
positive manner in favor of John w.
Kern for democratic national commit
teeman. His statement, which is full
of significance, is as follows:
John w. Kern certainly would be
a most worthy and efficient national
committeeman. He would give the
party a splendid standing and his Sc
lection would be satisfactory to nearly
every democrat in Indiana. If he will
take the place he ought not to have
any opposition"
Mr.. Hoffman is the head of the an
ti-Taggart organization within the
democratic party in Indiana and his
declaration for Mr.. Kern may be con-
sidered as an indication that Kern is
satisfactory to the anti-Taggart demo-
Gratis. The friendship existing between
Taggart and Kern is well known and
it is not believed that the democratic
boss would oppose Kern if it should
become apparent that the masses Of
the party desire that Kern shall rep
resent them on the national commit
tee.
That there is now rapid alignment
of democratic forces behind Kern is
apparent. He has never said that he
would accept the place, but has insist
ed all along that it is a position for
which he has no special qualifications.
The fact that Holt7mop hoe coroo o,,+
for him no doubt will stimulate talk in
his favor and the indications are that.
if Mr.. Taggart is willing to let go of
the place, Kern will be chasen by ac-
clamation. 1t is surmised that back
of the movement to elect Kern is a GER
tain amount of factional politics and it
is doubtful whether Taggart could Sc
cure the plum for himself without a
fight. The Indiana delegates to the
national democratic convention will
elect the member of the national COM
mittee for this state.
There is a new Richmond in the
field in the race for the republican
nomination for lieutenant governor.
Representative John H Edwards. of
Mitchell, treated the politicians to a
surprise by stating that the intends to
run for the second place on the state
ticket. Mr.. Edwards was a prominent
candidate for the speakership last win
ter and when Governor Hanly selected
Emmet F. Branch for that position.
Edwards was made chairman of the
committee on judiciary.

Pennsylvania and Western Un-
ion Have Been at Outs
For Some Years.
POSTAL LOSES BUSINESS.
UNDER THE NEW CONTRACT THE
PENNSYLVANIA WILL HAVE
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ON THE
GRAND RAPIDS.

When the announcement was made
in Richmond a few days ago that the
Western Union would soon take
charge of all commercial telegraph
business along the G. r. s, l., but few
railroad men knew then that the grant
ing of the rights to the telegraph COM
pany was the ending of long and bit
ter fight between the Pennsylvania
and the Western Union. The story of
the fight is a very interesting one
Under a new contract the Western
Union will resume operations along
Pennsylvania lines and will have the
privileges of the Grand Rapids and
Indiana, and the Columbus and San
dusky lines, which have hitherto been
enjoyed by the Postal Telegraph COM
pany.
The contract has twenty years to run
and under one of its clauses all pend
ing litigation between the two compa-
MES ceases. The contract goes into
effect Immediately.
Story of the Fight.
The Western Union-Pennsylvania
fight began in 1908, when the old con-
tract expired. George J. Gould was
trying to get the Wabash railroad into
Pittsburg and on his refusal to aban-
don the effort, President Cassatt Or
dered the Western Union to remove
its poles and wires from the Pennsylva-
right of way. The Western Union re-
fused. went to the courts and was de-
feated. President Cassatt thereupon
set locomotives to work dragging the
Western Unions poles out of the
ground, and thousands OF dollars worth
of property was ruined. The Western
Union sued out many writs. Some Of
the cases have never been adiudicated
and in some the Western Union recov-
cred heavy damages.
In the meantime, President Cassatt,
to raise money to carry out his i'm
provements, offered $75,OOO,OOO of
Pennsylvania stock at 12O to stock
holders of record. The stock was sell
ing at 1421a, and to be attractive would
have to continue selling at a fair pre-
MUM above 120. Immediately the
price began to decline. and despite the
efforts of the Pennsylvania road and
its brokers, dropped until it touched
123. Cassatt learned that the Gould
Rockefeller interests, angered by the
treatment of Western Union. had been
depressing the stock and had determin-
ed to break it to 40. Mr. Cassatt ap-
pealed to John D. Rockefeller to stop
the slaughter. Mr.. Rockefeller said
that Mr. Cassatt must stop reprisals on
the Western Union property and cease
opposition to Wabash's entrance into
Pittsburg. Mr.. Cassatt capitulated
and the attack on Pennsylvania was
halted. Mr.. Rockefeller formed a
syndicate which subscribed for S1O.-
100000 of the new Pennsylvania stock
and the price of Pennsylvania was held
well above 12O until the new stock is
sue had been distributed.

FAMILY TROUBLES
REC|TED IN COURT
Frank Schroeder Is on Trial
On the Charge of As
sauIt and Battery.
HENRY ESSEN THE VICTIM.
IN-LAW scRRoEDER'S FAITH
ER-IN-LAW, HARMON AHAUS,
ALSO INVOLVED.

Frank Schroeder, charged with as
sault and battery on Henry Issen, his
brotherin-law, on Sept. 7, was ar
raigned in the city court this morning
on this charge. Through his attor-
ney, B. c. Robbins, Schroeder enter
ed a plea of not guilty Despite the
fact that Attorney Robbins stated Fri
day he would make a motion to have
the case heard by some other than
Judge Converse, Mr.. Robbins entered
no objections when Judge Converse
took his place on the throne of JUS
tice.
Issen married Scnroeder's sister
and of late there has been but little
harmony in the family. The week the
assault took place civil strife disrupt
ed completely the family relations.
Wrestling matches, knockdown fist
fights and stone hurting contests were
INDUCED in. These unpleasant rela-
tions, it appears from the testimony
given in the trial, resulted from petty
disputes such as quarrels over a gas
meter and a barn partition. Issen
and Schroeder lived in adjoining
houses on South E street.
Were on UnfriendIy Terms.
Issen testified that he and his broth
er-in-law, prior to the assault on Sat
urday evening, Sept. z, had been on
most unfriendly terms He stated
that the Wednesday before he and
Schroeder quarreled over a gas meter
and that he ended by calling Schroed-
er bad name. Schroeder then hit
him in the jaw, telling him. Mrs
Schroeder grabbed her husband to
keep him off Issen but in the wrestl-
ing match with his wife, Schroeder
managed to get his hand on boulder
and heave it at the fallen Issen over
Mrs. Schroeder shoulder. Harmon
Ahaus held Issen down. In answer to
Mr.. Robbins, Issen denied that after
this fight he had threatened to exter-
inmate Schroeder before the end of
two weeks
Issen stated that on Saturday night,
Sept. T. he was sitting on his porch
facing the Schroeder residence.
Schroeder, Ahaus and Mrs. Schroeder
came past his house. Issen said that
Harmon Ahaus, who is Schroeder's
father-in-law, came on the porch and
asked him if he were still angry. Is
sen ordered Ahaus off the premises
Schroeder from the walk, Issen stated
called him a vile name and dared him
to use the knife he had sharpened for
further hostilities. Issen said that he
told his brother-in-law to go to his
home and attend to his own business
as he was drunk. Schroeder, Issen
stated, then hurled rock at him
which knocked his straw hat off. Is
sen ran off the porch only to get in
the way of another rock which frac-
tured a rib. He is just now recover
ing from this injury.
Mrs. Issen stated that after her
husband had been hurt and had run
into the house, she picked up a rock
and hurled it at her brother, Frank
Schroeder. but, woman like, the mis-
sle went wide of its aim. She said
that Schroeder then threw a rock at
her and it would have hit her had she
not jumped behind a tree. There is
a large number of witnesses to be in
troduced, by both sides of the case.

Mothers of Children Who At
tend There Are Urging That
Needed improvements Be
Made by the School Board.
CLAIM CONDITIONS A
MENACE TO HEALTH.
There Is No Sewer Connection
And 1t Is Necessary to Burn
The Sewage---Few Repairs
Made in 40 Years.

The mothers of the children who at.
tend the Finley school on South Fourth
street have started a crusade to have
the school remodeled and moderniz-
ed. These women charge that the
condition of the school is now in is a
menace to their children's health and
that the school board turns a deaf ear
TO their requests to have the school
building put into a good sanitary con-
dition.
The Mothers league of the Finley
school met Friday and discussed ways
and means of having the building plac-
ed in good repair. Friday evening a
member of the Mothers league called
on Mayor Schillinger and asked him to
take some action toward having the
school remodeled and placed in a sani-
tary condition
Mayor Schillinger stated that he had
no authority to order the necessary
improvements made. but promised %
use his influence with the school board
Mayor Schillinger says that several
people whose children attend the Fin
ley school have complained to him
that the school building is a menace to-
health. There is no sewer connections
with this building and 1t is necessary
to burn the sewage.
NesIec Is Charged.
There is no doubt but what the Fin
ley school is the most neglected school,
building in the city. Parents of chill.
dren who attend this school charge
that the school board almost ignores
its existence. Mayor Schillinger states
that even the teachers at this school
are complaining of the unsanitary con-
dition it is now in. Local physicians
are acquainted with the condition of
the school building and they would ex-
perience no surprise if at any time an
epidemic of typhoid fever broke out
among the pupils. Not only is the
building in an unsanitary condition,
but 1t is also in poor repair. The Fin
ley school is one of the oldest in the
city and in the past forty years there
have been very few repairs made.
There is no sewer main between
SOuIu Sl8IH street anu the river. DuL
the Finley school could be connected
with the Sixth street sewer main If the
school board would make an effort to
have such connection made. There
is an alley which runs from the school
property to South c street There is
an alley running north and south from
Z street to d street. but between these
two streets is an alley running east
and west. A lateral sewer along this
alley could be laid to the Sixth street
main. The lateral sewer in this alley
could be connected by another lateral
sewer placed in the alley, the alley
running south from the school grounds.
To connect these two lateral sewers It.
would be necessary to condemn some
property between c street and the al
ley running east and west between G.
and d streets. It is understood that
the board of public works stands will.
ling to condemn this property and to
make the sewer connections with the
school of the school board will request
such action on the grounds that the
sewer is necessary for public health.
