count of the possible effect of these
differences in the party on the national
ticket. There has been much specula
ton as to whether or not the split will
hurt Judge Taft's chances OF carrying
the state. There are two gubernatorial
tickets In the field claiming to be Re
publican. The SO called regular ticket"
is headed by c. W. Swisher, and the
other, the Lincoln ticket" has in the
first place the name Of Arnold G.
Scherr. The Democrats are united and
have put In the field Lewis Bennett, a
former speaker Of the legislature. Mr..
Scherr has served as state auditor, and
Mr. Swisher has been prominent in his
party for some years. Supporters of
both the Republican nominees are de-
claring their loyalty to the national
ticket, and ii is claimed by some that
Judge Taft's vote will not be lessened
by the party controversies in the COM
monwealth. On the other hand, 1t is
said that strenuous efforts will be made
TO induce the warning factions to com
pose their differences and eliminate
one or the other of the candidates.
Roosevelt carried the state four years
ago 10y majority of 31.7o0. In 1906
the Republican majority was 1900

Behold, I show you . mysteryl

Behold, l show you . mysteryl
The other day man stood In a Chi
cago station with smile on his face
and holding in his hand a ticket to
Michigan City. Ind. He was an es-
capped convict voluntarily going back
to prison.
The man said 1t was the happiest day
Of his life! ~.
You do not understand how a map

the penitentiary could be perfectly hap
py. Nor do l. That is the mystery.
This Is the mans story:
A few months ago he had escaped
from the Indiana prison. fleeing to the
west In western city he attended q
street meeting Of the Salvation Army
and was converted" He Immediately
started back to Indiana. stopping in
Chicago for a day. A number of Chi.
cago Salvationists went with him to his
train.
A dispatch to the Chicago papers next
day confirmed the story. The convict
promptly reported to the warden and
was put to work.
Understand the mystery?
No. II 10 because we know very little
about that strange spiritual alchemy
that transmutes the baser elements OF
, a man into the pure gold. The mean

enough-"turned around"-but one can
scarcely realize how a man may be re

was that of the dismal years stretching
into the .forbidding future, yet from
that appalling programme he could ex

Why?
Because In the turning upside dow
of his nature this convict somehow hat
freedom-that it is spiritual freedom.
Penitentiary barriers might hold hi
