CAMPAIGN QUARTETTE
SINGS SEVERAL SONGS
Some of the Candidates Hearers De-
clare, However, That He Is Allying
Himself With Evil When He
Wants Total Prohibition or Moth
ing at All.

s. w. Haynes, the candidate of the
diana, spoke Mt tthe First Methodist
church last night on the issues of the
campaign. His quartette sang sew
only fifty or sixty people present the
meeting was an interesting one.
Mr.. Haynes took the position that
county local option township local
option does not commit Mr. Watson and
Mr.. Marshall to the execution of the
law. He said that IL Watson wns
elected or If Marshall was made gov
ernor they might sign their respective
bills and then there would be NO guar
antee that they would be carried into
effect. Their responsibility ends when
they sign the bill.
He said that he did not. believe in
county or township local option He
says that the law has no right to say
tffat couHty s-of'sa township has TIE
right to license a saloon.
Says He Won't Compromise.
He believes with Judge Artman that
the constitution of the state would not
permit the licensing of an evil like the
liquor traffic any more than it would
legalize any other practice that was
derogatory to the health and mora Is
of a community.
Mr.. Haynes gave an illustration to
drive home his argument. "A few
years ago. said he, the people OF
Lake county were made cognizant OF
the fact that there was gambling al
tthe Roby race track.
Now race track gambling is an evil
similar to liquor traffic But the peo-
pie of Hammond and Lake county took
a local option vote by sentiment the
matter and it was decided not to inter
fere with the practice.
Governor Matthews did not believe
that the people of Lake county should
decide the matter as to whether they
should or should not have gambling
by the local option of public sentiment
and so he threatened to send the state
militia to Roby unless the track gamb-
ling there was stopped"
Thinks They Don't Have Right.
In the same manner Mr. Haynes is
of the opinion that the people of q
township or Of county should not
have the right to say that they will
they should be wiped out regardless
of the wishes of the people in the
matter.
Reasoning along these lines Mr.
Haynes said that he did not believe
that local option would stand the test
of supreme court decision.
Rev. Switzer of the First Methodist
church. in answer to a query, as tc
whether the prohibition party is doing
anything in the way of securing sup
port in Lake county, said that he die
not believe it was.
The party organization is not very
effective and Rev. Switzer said thai
regretted that there had been a mis-
take in the fixing of dates for Mr.
Haynes appearance in Hammond as
he had hoped there would be a large
crowd out 70 see him.

ONE IN TURN
Declares Nebraskan Has Been Re-

Silver and Now Wants to Win on
Untried Theories and vagaries of
His Own.

Cincinnati. o.. Sept. 22.-william
Howard Taft tonight made William
Jennings Bryan. his democratic op-
ponent. the object of a verbal on
slaught
Mr.. Taft's attack on Mr.. Bryan's past
record and his views in the present
campaign was made to the delegates of
the National League of Republican
clubs just before Mr.. Taft prepared for
his trip to Chicago and the swing
around the middle western states.
Bryan's record. his advocacy Of free
silver, of imperialism, and of the gov
ernment ownership of railroads, his
record in congress, his trip around the
world; all these things were grouped
together by Mr.. Taft, in reply to his
self-propounded question, What do 1
think of Bryan?"
Taft's Words Are Strong.
The answer to the question was un-
mistakable. According to the republi-
can candidate his opponent is a
dreamer, man of promises but not
of fulhllment; candidate whose
gloomy predictions of the past, if the
republicans should win, were dis
counted by years of prosperity under
republican rule.
In a 10000 word speech Mr.. Taft
discussed Bryan and the leading is

lasted about half an hour Mr.. Bryan

al that time.

some trouble and finally Buettner was
put off the car. He claimed that the
conductor knocked him down in forcing
him to leave the car and that he had
been seriously injured as a result.

attorney and brought suit against the
company for damages. He secured re-
dress to the extent of 1000 fares.

JOB WAS DONE
BY AN EXPERT
Station Agent and Assistants No
ticed Strange Man Sneaking
Around the Depot Earlier in the
Evening and Believe He Is the
Man.

A bold thief robbed the Lake shore
depot In this city with neatness and
dispatch some time after 10 O'Clock
last night but succeeded in getting
away with only s39.36.
Entrance to the depot was gained
through a back window which was
pried open. When the burglar was
once in the depot all he had to do was
to pry open the door leading to the
ticket office in order to get TO the cash
drawer.
Done BY An Expert.
The marks on the woodwork indicate
that the job was done by an expert
who seemed to be careful not to mar
the woodwork in accomplishing his
purpose The burglar even spent con-
siderable time working the combina-
tion on the cash drawer rather than
break it open in an effort to get the
money which was contained in it.
Outside of the loss of the money
Agent w. ]. Duffner is unable to find
anything else missing. The burglar
did not even take any of the tickets
for the reason. it is thought, that II
is to easy to trace a man who attempts
to use a stolen ticket.
Noted Suspicious Character.
Agent Duffner said his assistant not
ed a suspicious character about the
depot shortly after six o'clock. The
man was about five feet eight inches
tall, weighed about 155 pounds and
wore a dark blue suit.
He hung around the ticket window
and looked in whenever he could get
a chance. He asked about the train
to Pittsburg but he did not buy tick
EFT neither did he get on the train
when it came in.
Robbery Discovered Today.
Later in the evening when Mr.. Duff
ner's assistant was in the office alone
he noticed the man looking in the win
dow whenever he sold tickets. AT
about 10 o'clock the office was closed
and locked and the agent and his as
sistant went home
The robbery was discovered this
morning when Mr.. Duffner came into
the office about six o'clock. The police
were at once notified. The robber
however. had all night in which to
escape and there was no hope of ever
catching him.

ent campaign. Chairman Hitchcock
has stated the facts concerning the
national committee situation, and it
Is very much the same way with US.
we expect to have enough money
for necessities, but there is no slush
fund, and everything we do will be
done on a strictly business basis. We
must make our money go as far as
we can"
One of the things which indicates
the different way in which politics are
being run in this campaign from the
ordinary campaign is the fact that the
TAFT special train, which will be run
from Denver to Topeka on October
3, must be paid for in cash, and must
be paid for by the state committee,
not by the national committee. 1t
used to be the custom for the rail-
ways to furnish special trains free to
the national committee, as we'll as all
the free passes wanted by both ma
ttonal and state committees. All this
has been cut off now. 1t is said that
mittee about $4,000. 1t will consist
of baggage car, two sleepers, diner
and an observation car.
The Colorado Republican state COM
mittee will pay the expense of the
special train as long as it is in Colo
paid by the Kansas committee.
1t is said that the state committee
would like to arrange for a special
train for Governor Hughes when he
comes to the state, about October 3
or 6, but it is possible that the ex-
pense will be more than the funds
will stand.
It is likely that Governor E. w.
Hoch will go to Denver with Chair
man Dolley, and will meet Taft there,
and accompany him through Kansas.
The plan is for Governor Hoch to in
troduce Taft at all the stopping
places along the line.
1t is not yet known whether the
provisional Taft schedule through
Kansas will be finally adopted, be-
cause it is not known when Taft can
tional committee has been asked to
arrange it SO that Taft will leave Den
yer at 10 p. m, on Oct. 2, instead of
at IL d. m. If this can be done, the
Kansas schedule will be just an hour
earlier than announced.
The state committee today an
nounced the following dates for Con-
gresham T. E. Burton of Ohio, and
Congressman Walter I. Smith of
Iowa, who are said to be two of the
most effective campaign speakers the
Republican national committee has
on the road:
Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, will speak in
Kansas as follows: Sept. "a. Emporia,
Kan; Sept. 25, Peabody. Kan; Sept.
rs, Council Grove, Kan; Sept. %,
