When we remember that certain
federal judges in their Interpretation

Indiana for Bryan.

Walter Wellman, the free-lance
of the Chicago Record-Herald, has
Investigated the situation in Indiana
and says that unless there is a radi-
cal change in the situation and SEN
timent within the next two weeks,
Bryan is absolutely certain to carry
the Ho0sier state-and by a COM
Portable margin at that. Indiana is
tie most perfectly organized state
in the union Almost every voter
is politician and has been taught
that his vote counted. The state is
normally close, but the organization
in both parties is SO excellent and
complete that a change of a few
hundred votes Gamble easier traced
and estimated than a landslide in
many other commonwealth. 1t is
conceded by the Republican organ
ization that the state is doubtful,
which means that the party recog-
nizes its defeat in the state unless
something revolutionary can be ac-
complished by election day. At
Democratic headquarters the astute
politicians are absolutely certain of
the result Outside of the Republi-
can headquarters Indiana need no
oneer be considered doubtful, but
safely Democratic.

Why Bryan Should be elected.

[Adlai E. Stevenson in Success
Magazine"
The election of Mr.. Bryan and of
a Democratic Congress would in
sure, within SAFE lines, tariff revis-
ion having strictly in view the re-
form conceded by all to be abso-
lutely necessary. He is. moreover,
the embodiment of antagonism to
the Trust" He was among the
first to sound the keynote of Oppo-
sition to unlawful combinations of
capital" under whatever form or
guise combinations appeared. His
oft-expressed views upon that ques-
ton are crystallized in the platform
upon which he is now a candidate
for the Presidency. The trust is
the crying evil of to-day. By COM
binations of capital unknown to our
earlier days, against public policy,
and in many instances in direct VIC
lation of state laws, the small deal
er has been driven from the field.
His occupation is gone. He cannot
successfully compete with the trust.
The field being clear competition
destroyed the manufacturer and
the various trusts fix prices at their
own pleasure. The trust virtually
destroys competition the life of
trade. In no small degree it usurps
the functions of government. By
intelligent machinatiOn exclusive
ly to its own gain it has greatly
increased to the consumer the cost
of articles of daily consumption.
| The shadow of the trust has fallen
upon every hearthstOne in the land.
1t is the monster evil of our day -
a constant menace to popular gov
eminent. In very truth, two good
words of our language - "protec-
ton" and trust" have been made
the synonyms of injustice and
greed.

Change Of Party Necessary.
[Adlai E. Stevenson, ip Success
Magazine."1 =

For three successive Presidential
terms the Republican party has
been in undisputed possession of all
departments of the Government
controlling the President and both
Houses of the Congress. In all inn
portant matters of legislation and
of administration the sway of the
now dominant party has been alb
solute without let or hindrance.
That abuses under such conditions
have crept into all the departments
is but the statement of a fact that
cannot be gainsaid. That there is
imperative necessity for a redress
of grievances is a fact recognized
by all thoughtful men. 1t is true
to-day, as never before in our his
tory, that we are under the curse of
class legislation; that public moneys
have been squandered and hazard
Gus experiments substituted for old
time craftsmanship. And it must
not be forgotten that no political
party ever has been, or is now cap
able of correcting the abuses for
which it alone is responsible. To
do so would be condemnation of it
self. Such correction, if it comes,
must be by those who have had no
lot or part in the creation of the
abuses. A significant illustration
of what has been suggested is to be
found in what is known in our po-
litical history as the "Post-office
Frauds" A few years ago the
country was startled by exposure:
in the great Post-office Department
involving high officials and disclos
ing loss of large sums to the pub
lie treasury. An yet when an at
tempt was made by the Democrat,
minority in Congress to secure ;
full investigation, to the end tina
punishment be melted out to thu
guilty, whether high or low, the res
olution for such investigation wa
defeated by a strict party vote
This gives emphasis to the state
ment that Governmental abuses ar
, rarely, if ever, corrected by tn,
party solely responsible for thei
existence. 1t emphasizes theneces
sity. so clearly discerned by tn
founders of the Government, 70
frequent changes fin administrator
to the end that abuses be corrected
and needed reforms inaugurated.
