A VOICE FROM OHIO.

Hon. III. d. Flood who has been
stumping through Ohio, writes us that
he believes Ohio will go for Bryan. He
adds: 81 never saw such enthusiasm. +"
Of course we cannot do more than hope
for such an outcome. 1t is too good to
swallow, we will just have to look at
it, and allow sojuicy a salivant to long
lay temptingly before us, Could such
thing be? We can hardly contem-
plate so horrible an event for those who
are managing the other side of the
cam paign, or one SO delightful for this
side-our side. What blow between
the eyes the loss of Ohio would be to
Republican managers, Roosevelt, Taft,
son-ln-law Longworth and other great
and good men. They would disappear
from public view as bosses and proph-
cts, indeed as statesmen of any kind or
calibre. Think of Ohio as a Democratic
State, think of it repudiating Taft, and
along with him the Roosevelt admin
istration. Could anything be more
glorious Could anything cause SO
much Democratic joy.

IL. To Men With Wives Who Sew

q There are certain things that men would
better leave alone-the wives know more
about them than you do.
q This is probably true Of sewing machines,
and yet while you may cheerfully let your
wife make small mistake, you would dis
like to see her spend many dollars for a
sewing machine that might be next to use
less within year.
q Women seek bargains" even more than
do men, and the makers and sellers of
poorly constructed sewing machines use a
"cheap" price to tempt trade because they
dare not make q true statement of quality.
q Therefore, urge your wife at least TO learn
about the Singer before she spends her
money for maclliils which appears TO be
bargain because offered at lower price.
q Singer reputation is backed by fifty years,
experience; Singer sales exceed the sales
of all others combined.

After Foreign Patents.

Mr.. Harvey B. Miller, the inventor
of the electrical train stopping device,
technically known as the electrically
governed, automatically operable train
controlling system, has made applica
ton for patents in Great Britain, Mex
leo and Canada, and it now seems that
he will be granted the desired patents
in these countries.
Mr.. Miller's device is wonderful
piece of mechanism and has aroused 9
great deal of interest on the part of the
railroads. Negotiations are now pend
ing by which he expects soon to put
the device into use or one of the largest
railway systems in America.

OUR INDOMITABLE LEADER

If Tuesdays fight is won by the peo-
pie, they can return thanks to but one
man, and that man is VIM. J. Bryan.
Before the real battle was on he was
organizing his army, his plans were
being laid, he saw long ago the nations
needs, but he had not yet been able to
draw about HIM sufficient strength to
meet and rout the enemy. He fought
minor battles. In 1896 he had his first
great struggle, but at crucial moment
many of his followers deserted, and by
means impossible for him to control,
the battle was lost. Again in 1900 he
found himself face to face with the
enemy with great army, but when
the sun set his forces were driven off
the field. In the next great battle to
be fought his generalship having been
questioned by many in his own camp,
he withdrew from command, and the
Democratic lieutenants chose another
leader. Then defeat, dire disastrous
and humiliating, fell upon the Demo-
cratic host. They were scattered and
disheartened. Again this indomitable
leader appeared and began to counsel
and encourage. Again he began to Or
ganize an army and prepare for the
present struggle. Again his leadership
was questioned, and his sincerity dis
puted, as well as his plans of battle.
Nothing daunted he beckoned the scat
tered legiOns to return and organize.
His enemies scoffed, his professed
friends in many instances laughed in
credulously, his chances of success were
poo-poohed, but his wonderful personal
ity triumphed. AT the trumpet sounds
of his voice clans gathered, until now
the country is electrified, the people are
afiame, rushing to his standard. The
utmost confusion reigns in the camp of
the enemy. The army under him is as
the sands of the sea, no man can num-
Der it, all are enthusiastic, all are con-
ident, and all hail the rising of the sun
on Tuesday next, as Napoleon hailed
the sun at Austerlitz, when they shall
rush to battle and sweep arrogance,
treachery, fraud, bribery, and entrench-
ed criminality from the places they
have so long polluted; all hail the day
when the right of the people shall tri-
umph, and when they can reward, as
is Justly due him, the man who has al
ways plunged into the thickest of the
fight, beset by every enemy, but who,
when the smoke of battle clears away,
will be seen triumphant on fairly
won field.

KERN CHARGES BIG
FRAUD IN INDIANA.
$1,000 Fund to Buy Votes for
Republicans is Allegation of
Bryan's Running Mate.

Upton, Ind, Oct. 27.-sI am relia-
bly, informed and make this specific
charge that 100000, largely contribut-
ed by trusts and combines, was brought
into Indiana last Sunday and passed
through the hands of Hon. Fred Sims,
Secretary of State" John w. Kern,
| the Democratic Vice Presidential NOM
lnee, made The above statement here
today.
.'Mr. Sims is most estimable gen
| tleman and warm personal friend of
mine, but | am compelled to say that
it is a sad spectacle to see a public Off
cial who is required to pass every year
upon the question as to what amount
| of taxes shall be levied upon the rail
roads and other corporations of his
State handling the money that these
| corporations are called upon to contri-
butte TO the campaign fund. The assem-
sion of taxing officer, who, like Mr..
Upham of Chicago, or Mr. Sims of In
| NAenitj Ltio tilC DON Ci w IGlSC vi INV Ci
the taxes of corporations has rare
facility for frying fat out of the corpo-
rations whose properties they are re-
quired to value"
The second day of the campaign of
Mr.. Kern by special trolley through
Indiana ended tonight with monster
meeting at Decatur. Stops were made
at Upton, Kokemo, Logansport, Wa
bash, Huntington and Decatur.
In every city through which he pass
ed Mr.. Kern was besieged by scores of
old time friends, who grasped his hand.
| He was introduced to his audiences as
"Honest john Kern, s'your old neigh
bor,N or other terms indicating long
| acquaintance and friendship.
In his Decatur speech he said that
there were three methods by which the
Republican party leaders hoped to win.
| The first method, he said, was by the
use of money, which was being ''pour-
ed into their treasury out of the treas
uries of every illegal monopoly in the
land and out of the treasury of every
protected corporation. The second
method, lie said was coercion, and the
third, threats of panic.
II am not afraid of their money!
he continued, "because votes which are
going to win this election for Bryan are
votes which all the money in the world
cannot buy.
81 am not afraid of coercion, because
the men of America have come to know
that they are sovereigns and that nc
power on earth has a right to coerce
them.
"May God give you men of Indiana
a new baptism of patriotic power thai
you may go to the polls on Tuesday
and strike blow for the liberty fol
which your forefathers fought"

In the days of Washington on one
occasion, one of his cabinet officers was
away from his desk mixing in a politi-
cal contest then going on. He recalled
him, and said that his absence tended
to show his position to be a sincure
and reflected on his (Washington's)
administration. We are long way
from Washington time and from the
ideas of decency then obtaining with
reference to the duties of public officials.

This is a struggle in which the West
and middle west will assert themselves.
They are determined that the East and
North shall not hold them forever as
tail to the Republicans Kite. They
have chance to shift the presidential
territory further west, and may not stop
until it has been established on the
Pacific. They are tired of being gov
erned. They want to, and will govern
little themselves

DISREPUTABLE JOURNALISM.

The suppression of the enthusiasm
which greets Mr. Bryan everywhere
by the corporation owned and controll-
ed newspapers, is disgraceful to jour
nalism. The leading newspapers in the
east have been publishing columns of
Republican literature from Roosevelt,
Taft and others. They have been mag
nifying the crowds which greet Taft in
States he has visited, and they have
doggedly, and we think criminally, re-
fused to give more than mean, dis
torted account of the speeches of Mr..
Bryan, and no mention is made in
their columns of the greetings he has
been receiving. Think of a procession
Seven Miles long in his honor in Louis
vile, thing not equalled anywhere
by his opponent, not even approximate
ed, and yet the fact was suppressed by
the entire eastern corporation owned
press. The thing is shameless. The
ID emocratic people who subscribe to
these journals ought to withdraw their
patronage and refuse such partisan and
dangerous sheets entrance to their
homes. Washington and Baltimore
need genuine Democratic papers and
it is to be hoped some the turncoat
sheets now published there will never
be read hereafter by Democrats, espec-
tally in Virginia.

Mr.. A. G. Garrett, Jr., of Bucking-
ham county, was selected by the Re
publican convention of the 10th Dis
trict as elector on the Taft and Sherman
ticket. Some time ago Mr. Garnett re-
fused to act as elector on account of the
fact that Mr.. Taft did not believe in
the Divinity of Christ. This makes
two Republican electors in Virginia
one in the Fifth District and the other
in the Tenth District-who decline to
serve on this account. 1t cannot be said
of Mr.. Garnett that he is disappointed
Republican office-seeker for so far as we
know Mr.. Garrett has not sought pub
lie office and we do not believe he has.
His action was prompted by conscienti-
GUS motives, such as will actuate hun
dreds of other Republicans throughout
the country.
