TAFT SIGN ON RED CALF.

Danville, Ill.,, Oct. 17.-One of the
latest omens of Republican vic,
tory at the polls next month has
been found in a calf which was
born last week on the farm of JAS
G.. Schofstall, four miles east of
this city. The animal is red and
has the letters P. and T. on each
shoulder. Schofstall says this
means President Taft and that it
is a sure thing the former Secre-
tary of War will be the next Presi
dent of the United States. Schools
tall formerly was Democrat, but
says he will cast his vote for Taft
and Sherman this year.

Senator Mattingly said: Il read
that somebody in this hall last night
referred to Mr. Watson as a demago-
que. That reminded me of history and
when the democrats in Daviess county
called Morton democrat. Whenever
they call a republican a demagogue
always buckle on my armor and
work a little harder for him. There
is not a state government in the union
that has prospered as we'll that has
prospered as well under thirteen
years of republican control as Indiana.

The pyrotechnic display of the
meeting was touched off by Robert
Brown, former clerk of the supreme
court. He appeared to be fairly bub-
bling over with things to say and the
words efferversced with absolute alb

creme de menthe and had all the
bite and sting of the refreshing sum
mer drink. Mr.. Brown said in brief:
THE republicans went into the cam
paign without any apologies, certainly
none to John Sharp Williams. The
republican is not a party of apologies.
Mr.. Williams tries to tell us all about
how to vote and direct us Indianians
as to the rule of the people. He comes
from a section of the country where
the vote for electors is not half what
it is in Indiana, but he talks to us
about the rule of the people. And

BY the Hon. DAN r. SHEEN.

Edward ]. King of Galesburg arraigned the
house ring assailed machine rule and spoke
of Speaker ShurtIeff as Gar" Speaker Shurt-
left in reply to Representative King is credited
with saying: "No member ever went to that desk
speakers desk and asked the privilege of call
ing up bill before the house that his vote was
asked or demanded on any proposition"
Thus, the speaker admits the fact to be that
calling up bill" is privilege" Why should
it not be right? A privilege" is defined to be
favor, special grant, not generally accorded;
and the speaker arrogates to himself the power
of dispensing privileges the right of the people
through their representatives to act in a legisla-
tive capacity. He also pats himself on the back
for not selling those privileges" in exchange for
votes There is no denial reported in Speaker
Shurtleff's reply that there is house ring" nor
that there is machine rule"
AS one who knows let me state few facts
A member who did not join either the Repub-
lican steering committee" that during the forty
fourth session of the house met behind closed
doors at the Leland Hotel, or the Democratic
minority that met behind closed doors at the St.
Nicholas, was in that assembly political pariah
and | am told such has been the case before then,
and since. Such member may offer BILL and
it would be read by title and number and re-
terred TO a committee, the chairman of which
is the obedient servant of the Speaker and of "he
ring and machine" of which the Speaker is
chief. The bill might as we'll have been sent to
the waste-basket as to the political graveyard of
the ring ruled, machine made chairman of COM
mttee. The chairman of each committee is in
duty bound to give hearing to the author of
each bill before that committee but of the dozen
bills that | introduced at that session [ could not
get hearing on
The privilege" was not accorded me- All
of my bills were foreordaned to defeat from
certain day, when member approached me say
ing: You have several bills pending and if you
want any of them to go through you must help
us with some of our bills. Here are two bills
which we would like to have you support
took the bills, studied them carefully and re-
ported to the member that I did not think either
bill honest, and that | would not vote for a dis
honest bill, knowingly, and explained why
thought they should not pass. One bill related
specially to Chicago and it was urged that
could afford to vote for it as it did not affect my
constituency. I replied that while elected from
senatorial district I was there to legislate for
the people of the state of Illinois," as every bill
must on its face indicate, and that I would make
no deal further than to support good measures
and oppose bad ones whatever might be the result

honorables stayed sober; and as the actual SEES

in March less than forty-three hours in April

sessions of the house. and boisterous to
prevent members from hearing the proceedings.
The people voted in favor of primary bill
by majority of over five to at the cleo
ton in November 1904 and since then the
politicians have been trying to prevent such a
bill from being passed If a member of the
house does not have rights" such as the right
to speak, the right to have his bills heard by the
house, the right to do what he deems his duty
without being punished; in short, if he has only
"privileges'' which the Speaker may grant or with
mold, and the peoples expressed will is deliberately
disregarded, what has become of Our boosted "free
speech" equal rights" and republican form of
government? If a member must trade his
votes to pass a bill, and bend the pregnant
hinges of the knee" to secure privileges" in Our
legislature, what has become of our boosted
Representative government" Suppose the other
departments of government, the judicial and
executive, pursued like course, and the judges
would not allow a case to be heard unless they
wanted to show favor to ltigant or his coun-
sci, suppose the sheriff would not serve a
process, except for his special friends, how long
would the people submit to such injustice? The
legislative department is of equal Importance
with either of the other branches of government,
and yet the people allow that department to
trample on their expressed wishes, the
stitution, and the laws, and every principle
of republican form of government.
Not only this, but | have heard many voters

shell in return for giving the oyster to the lead

Until the people refuse to be bamboozled by
the statement: "You had better vote for our
candidate because yours can't be elected" which
"You had better ask for what you do
not want because you cannot get what you do
want by asking for it," they will have such gov
eminent as they are being given now, and will
aid in preventing a government "of the people,
by the people, and for the people" from being
again established in this state
Privileges belong to an aristocracy, or mon
archy where there are subjects; but rights be-
long to a republic where there are citizens. The
rights that are left in our legislature are nearly
as scarce as hens teeth, and as valuable as
