Thousands of Visitors Have
Come to the City in the
Past Three Days.
FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR.
YOUNG MEMS BUSINESS CLUB
HAS BEEN SHOWERED WITH
GENERALIZATION EXHIBITS
STRONG FEATURE.

1t is an assured fact that another
fall festival will be held in this city
next year. The success of the festival
which closes tonight has been such an
man in the city. including those few
who refused to lend assistance to the
movement, is enthusiastic over the
plan to make preliminary arrange
ments for holding a festival next fall.
and to make such arrangements with
out loss of time.
1t is difficult to estimate the num-
ber of people who flocked to Rich
mond to attend the festival, but it is
estimated that on Tuesday there was
about 5000 to 10000 out of town peo-
pie in the city. Yesterday the great
industrial parade proved splendid
drawing card and it is safe to estimate
that between $4,000 and $4,000 came
to the city.
Today it is anticipated that the out
of town people In the city will equal
the number here on Tuesday Peo-
pie who have come to Richmond have
showered congratulations on the
Young Mems Business club for the
splendid manner in which the festival
has been conducted. The several ex-
hibits have been all that they were
advertised to be. The prizes offered
al
iums and the excellent judges secured
for the various shows rendered per-
feet satisfaction to the farmers and
stock raisers who competed. Not a
complaint over an award has yet been
registered, which is truly remarkable.
The horse show with its two hund-
red or more entries far exceeded any
thing of its kind ever held in Eastern
Indiana and horse men state the class
of horses that competed was eXcep-
tionally high. All of the places OF
exhibition have been crowded day and
night
The merchants profited greatly by
the plan of having the exhibits scat
tered about the central section of the
city. The crowd was kept on the
move and people thronged into the
stores by the hundreds. Thousands OF
dollars have been left here in the
hands of the business men and that is
the reason they are wearing such
broad smiles and saying such nice
| things about the festival. The crowds
have been exceptionally orderly and
they have been splendidly protected
by the police. Dips, confidence men
and holdup artists have been notice
! able for by their absence. This is
true of the street corner fakirs anG
| fraud showmen.

With Ohio and New York, the
State Will Be a Field of
Political Action.
TAFT MEETS HITCHCOCK.
CONFER AS TO BEST METHODS OF
RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN FROM
THIS TIME ON-NEW YORK
DOUBTFUL.

Chicago, Oct. S.-William H. Taft
and Frank II. Hitchcock talked over
campaign plans and decided that the
field for action from now until cleo
ton day is in the east, Indiana and
Ohio being included and New York
being emphasized.
Mr.. Taft, for some reason or other,
wished to attack the solid south. 1t
may have been his idea that an as
sault on the democratic stronghold
might keep the enemy busy at home
for a while, or it may have been that
he wished to accede to the requests
of many southern republicans.
The reason for his wish to go south
is not explained and the wish itself is
not likely to be realized to any great
extent.
He will speak in Louisville and
probably Tennessee if a meeting can
be arranged in that state His time
from now on until election is to be
given chiefly to New York, Indiana
and Ohio
James Sherman, the vice presiden-
tial candidate, will spend most of the
remaining time in the east, where the
| republican forces will be concentrate
ed. Senator A. ]. Beveridge as soon
as he has finished his western trip
| will be placed in Indiana.
Three States Hold The Key.
The action of the republican man
ayers indicates their belief that the
contest has narrowed down to three
! states-New York, Ohio and Indiana
and these three states will receive
| the full attention of the party.
| Mr.. Taft's schedule has not been
arranged in detail, but after his talk
with Mr.. Hitchcock it was announced
that he would speak at various places
! in his own state next Monday and
| Tuesday. that Wednesday and Thurs
| day probably would be spent in Indi
! ana and that the last two DAYS of the
week might be devoted to the south
ern trip which the candidate desires
| to make.
1t is almost certain that he will
speak in Louisville and possible that
he will go into Tennessee.
AT least one week and possibly two
will be given to New York. The can
/ didate will finish the campaign there
/ with the aid of Mr.. Sherman and pos
| sibly with that of Hughes.
/ Hitcheoek's Attention on New York.
/ With the heavy oratorical workers
| centered in New York. Mr. Hitchcock
expects to give most of his time tc
that state. 1t seems TO be regarded
| by the republican managers as the bat
| tlefield of the campaign. They are du
1 bious about Indiana, but they are con
i cerned chiefly with New York.
4 Wealthy men of that state who have
contributed heavily in other cam
paigns TO republican funds have with
drawn their aid this time and the re
publican managers fear that they are
supporting Bryan. Republican man
agements have been accustomed to

this time they find themselves running

ed in trouble with the au-
thorities at Cambridge City. last Sat
urday night following an automobile
trip to that place in Cannon's car.
The people of Cambridge City claim
the party violated all rules of respec-
liability. The town marshal attempt
ed to arrest one member of the party
but he eluded a trip to the caliboose
by a piece of strategy and before the
get wise to the fact he had been the
butt of shrewd move, the party was
speeding out of town.
A member of the town council of
Cambridge City gives the following
version of the affair:
THE party came in there in the ma
chine and stopped in front of a saloon.
They acted like they might have been
drinking on the way over. but must
/ hau J,-1- In
know the names of the women, but |
am told they are a couple of married
women of Richmond
They kept ordering drinks and
pouring them down with the machine
standing there on the street. A big
crowd began to gather and / guess
| there were 100 persons watching the
show. The marshal, hesitated to
make an arrest, and was telephoned
to, came down town and directed
that arrests be made. BY this time
things were getting highly interesting
/ about the auto. The saloon owner or
dered his bartender not to sell any
| more drinks.
| One of the fellows went into a mer-
camille store and came out carrying
bundle. He had a couple Of stock
caps. like little boys wear and gave
them to the women. He carried an
other package and one of the women
| asked what was in that. He said he
would not tell. The woman said she
wanted to know and reached for the
| package. The fellow told her. If she
wanted TO see. he would show it to
her and unwrapped some woman's
wearing apparel which was displayed
1 to the crowd amid shouts of giee BIZ
the occupants OF the car and a mum

The marshall told Cannon be
would have to arrest him and the two

tance. The fellow told the marsha
he wanted to 60 back to the car and
see that the women would be taker

The recount will take considerable
time but will proceed with all the
