Fell in a bed Of tar and had TO be
chopped out.
That's the experience that befell-
well never mind what his name is. If
it was published there would probab-
ly be more work for the hospital peo-
pie.
Last evening the party in question
shipped such a heavy cargo of fire
water that some of it would ooze out
his ears whenever he lurched. In this
condition he rambled up the alley in
the rear of the Westcott hotel until
ne was opposite the rear entrance of
the Richmond Dry Cleaning company.
At that point was located the tar bed
which caused all the trouble.

George DinWiddie of Frankfort
Predicts Republican Ma
iority in Indiana.
TAFT WILL SWEEP STATE.
CLAIMED THAT OHiOAN WILL
CARRY INDIANA BY AS LARGE
A MAJORITY AS DID PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT.

George Dinwiddie, OF Frankfort,
Ind, republican vice chairman of the
state, fails TO see how even the most
radical democrat can muster up
enough nerve to claim a democratic
victory in this state or to place In
diana on the doubtful list.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dihwiddie arrived in
the city last evening in their big
touring car enroute to Dayton. They
were the guests over night of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee Ashley. Mr.. Ashley is a
democrat and last evening he drew
for Mr.. Dinwiddie such a luminous
picture of a democratic victory in old
Wayne that the vice chairman retired
early with a sick headache. Early
this morning he was around town To
see if his hosts tale would be verified
After questioning several people, Mr.
Dinwiddie soon learned that Mr.. Ash
ley had perpetrated a bear" story.
The Frankfort man said this morn
ing before leaving for Dayton, that
the state republicans would carry the
country districts solidly and that the
better element in the towns and cities
would also support the republican
ticket thus assuring a sturdy Tepubli
can majority.
Taft Will Sweep State.
AS for the national ticket Mr.. Din
widdie predicts that Taft will sweeT
the state like a tidal wave and that
his majority will be almost If not as
large as the one Indiana gave Roose
velt He states that Taft is very pop
ular with all classes.
Il understand that there is some
feeling in Wayne county against Mr.
Watson and that there is no particular
reason for this opposition. However
from what l have learned today, | viii
predict that Mr.. Watson will receive
a nice majority in this county. Wayne
| is a rock-ribbed republican strong
hold and I am confident that it will
not go over to the enemy this time,
said Mr.. Dinwiddie.
The vice chairman searched higf
and low this morning for E. NJ. Haas
republican district chairman, and final
! ly learned that his quarry had gone
to Cincinnati to take part in the Taf
| celebration.

Judge Chances at Sheath Gown:
Indecent? No! Greatf He Saws

Muneie. Ind, July 2S-"Now. that
doesn't look so bad, does it," asked
Miss Isabelle Turner of Justice Pierce
The pretty young actress was arrested
for appearing on the streets in a di-
rectoire gown, and as she asked the
question she exhibited pretty calf
and ankle through the slit in the gar
ment.
Justice Pierce was hearing the case
against the actress, and. of course. was
unable to express an opinion. but the
fact that he acquitted her of the charge
of public indeeency was proof that he
thought it did not look bad
The courtroom of Justice Pierce was
not large enough to accommodate the
crowd when Miss Turner's trial was
called this morning. A number of
business men who lad witnessed her
ramble on Walnut street last Satur-
day volunteered to testify in her be
half.

While Swinging, Ernest Moore,
Aged Sixeen Years, Falls
Fifty Feet.
WAS SEVERELY INJURED.
ACCIDENT OCCURRED UNDER THE
MAIN STREET BRIDGE WHERE
CABLE SWINGS HAD BEEN
PLACED-BOY WILL RECOVER.

Either through pure malice on the
art of boys, who cared not for the
risk they took on the lives of compan-
ions, or with less probability through
pure accident, Ernest Moore, aged six
teen, was precipitated a distance of
fifty feet through the air, alighting
on the ground beneath the Main
street bridge yesterday afternoon.
Young Moore IS the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Moore 3O3 Pearl street.
Astride board thrust through a loop
in a cable swing he launched himself
into the air. He passed up and out
into the air, when the board broke,
and unable TO retain his position
merely by his hands and not expecting
the sudden jerk. he was hurled out
into space and fell with terrific mo-
mentum to the ground Spectators
expected his death TO be instantane-
Gus. but he alighted face downward
riously.
For some time boys have maintained
the swing under the bridge and it has
provided them with great sport. The
element of danger adds to the enthu-
siasm which the youngsters display as
they accept the risk. For two or three
years there have been swings of the
single cable kind attached to the grid
ers of the bridge and the accident to
the Moore boy was the first of seri-
Gus nature.
Boys, who examined the board after
it gave way with Moore, declared
there was evidence that it had been
Whitfield. Where the cable passed
around the board the friction had worn
deep groove and the two together
weakened the board. The Moore boy
/ is of good size and weight for his years
and he is believed to have been toe
much for the board to support. Some
! of the excited boys. who saw the fall
/ yesterday. claimed the board had beer
whitfield for the purpose of causing an
accident.
There was a shout of terror from
companions who saw young Moore
shoot forward into the air. He fell
with great force and struck the ground
! beneath upon his stomach and shoul
ders When picked up he was uncon
scious and remained in that condition
! for about an hour. He was bleeding
! from the face and mouth and it wa:
feared at the time he had been injured
internally. No bones were broken
but the bruises and severe jolt to hi:
system will keep him in bed for sew
eral days The boy was removed Il
the hospital and given attention a.

have never heretofore been a can
didate for any Office with the gift

been Republican,, ! believe that the
Republican party was created to
serve the community and am proud
of it's past record, and If elected to
the position to which aspire shall
endeavor to help make the party a
servant Of the people.
believe that the honest man with
small means pays more than his fair
share OF taxes, and that it is too easy
for the shrewd man with large means
to escape taxation altogether. That
the tax law should be thoroughly re-
vised
believ that the popular outcry
against corporations is we'll founded,
but that only half the evil is with the
corporations, the other half is with
the officers and others who have al
lowed themselves to be corrupt by
corporation wealth. That we have
more to fear from INSCRIPTIONS poll

That the ballot Is the bulwark of de-
Tense and the American citizen is the
soldier against oppression, tyrant and
despotism. That in order to better
protect ourselves against these foes
we should make all departments of
government more nearly In touch
with and responsible to the people.
Property rights are second in i'm
portance only to individual rights, and
should be as jealousy safeguarded.
Most of the wealth of this great state
