Lieutenant Governor Hugh TIL Mil

ness in the departments, was caller
at the White House Thursday The
President showed the keenest interest
in the political situation and asked
especially after the outlook as to Sem
ator Hemenway aud James f. Wat
son. The President cannot under
stand why any Republican who sup
ported Taft should not also support
Hemenway and Watson.
Mr.. Miller told the President there
was no question as to Taft. "He will
carry the state by substantial plur-
atty" said the Lieutenant Governor.
AS to the state and legislative tick
ct Mr.. Miller declared the condition
had been improved steadily since the
adjournment OF the special session of
the Legislature
"The outlook is more favorable in
the rural communities and county
seat towns than in the large cities"
said Mr.. Miller. "Most of the news
paper men who have gone to lndi-
ana and painted gloomy pictures OF
the Republican situation have secured
their information in indianapolis,
where conditions are not so good as
elsewhere in the state"
Mr.. Miller told the President Wat

"He has great crowds and the en-
thusiasm is unbranded" Mr. Miller
said. I'm Columbus where he spoke
recently, we had the largest crowd OF

The Lieutenant Governor told the
President all the discouraging factors
that existed earlier in the campaign

overplayed their hand; they have been
too open and fragrant in the attack on
the state ticket and their plan OF cam
paign is reacting

How many laborfng men want to
see the teachers of this county COM
peting with them for their jobs dur
ing the summer? The Hon. Thomas
Marshall, who grabbed off that $1,000
ditch fee in Whitley county, advo-
Gated a repeal of the present wage
law for teachers. Figure for your
self The best teachers in the county
get $3.50 per day for 140 days total
OF $500. Labor gets about the same
in a year. The average teacher gets
about s275 per day Can we live ON
less? If Thomas Marshall gets us
back to the old conditions where we
got from $l.5O to S1.75 per day we
will be competing with you during
the summer for the jobs of clerking,
painting, paper-hanging etc We will
have to do it to keep from starving.
That will lessen your wages and the
number of jobs you get. We can not
study during the summer and your
boys and girls will not be taught as
we'll during the winter. The only peo-
pie who would save money by Toms
plan would be the railroads, factories
and wealthy who can well afford to
pay the taxes.
You see Tom is for the "lowly."
You laboring men. the only people
Tom could see without a telescope
if he gets in, will be the whiskey in
terests and Tom Taggart.
As a school teacher | will warrant
you that | am as good a friend TO the
laboring men as any saloon keeper
who will pour whiskey down a mans
throat as long as he can be propped
up and then kick him into the street
when his last dime is in the till.
The higher wages of teachers do
not cost the average laborer more
than dime a year and he has the
chance to give his boys and girls
twelve years of schooling under good
teachers
OF course, every spitoon cleaner in
the saloon, every fellow wio wants
license to run a wine room where
your girl can be debauched, every
gambler, every back alley drab. every
silifty thug will appeal to you to
stand up for your rights They are
all for Marshall.

boiled owl and feel tough until the
middle of the next week is worth
nothing. Help out us school teachers
