Springfield Republican One of the
strong democratic presidential pos
sibilities in 1912 is Thos. r. Marshall,
governor elect of Indiana, and &C.
cordlngly there will be interest in his
views on the national election result
and his attitude toward those radical
causes which have in a general way
divided the party against Byran. The
New York World has this message
from him: -
1T seems to be the tate of great re-
formers like Mr.. Bryan to live in
history rather than in office. Dis
heartenlng as is the result in the re-
public, the increased vote for dem
ocratic principles in many of the
states leads mo to hope that the
money mad magnates will yield to
treatment rather than die the death
which inevitably overtakes all those
who grow arrogant. The business
interests will surely see that our party
is not the enemy of vested rights.
We strike only at vested wrongs. !
hope they may be peaceably wiped
out, for fear it they are not they
will be forcibly. These evils would
have been cheerfully eliminated under
Mr., Bryan. hope they will be under
Mr.. Taft, though grudingly =
This would not seem to be calculated
to warm the ultra conservative dem
ocrats toward HIM. Mr.. Marshall
believes. however, that party unity
has been achieved out of the white
heat of persecution, = and the result
..augurs we'll for the arising of con.
stitutional democracy from the ashes

A party of merry souls, which included
Charlie Childs and bosom friend
named gathered at the home of William
Sweetzer Saturday night. After sea-
sol of enjoyment supplies ran low and
Charles and his companion proceeded
to punish William, whom they considered
the author of the misfortune. Williams
wife, who has been bedrdden for
months, was driven from the house by
the rumpus and her death followed
Sunday night, quite probably fastened
by the exposuse and fright. Walter Sar-
gent, who was also among those present,
took the part of the unfortunate Will
liam and succeeded in saving portions of
him. 1t seems to be the general opinion
teat Childs, who in the past few months
has run the scale of jags from checker
berry to hair-oil, should be given a suf-
iicieDt and favorable opportunity to
