CAMP AIGn WEATHER
CAUSES INTEREST
Local Republicans Show More
Enthusiasm Over
Politics.
GARFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT
JUDGE RARNARD'S ITINERARY
THROUGH WAYNE COUNTY
WILL BE ARRANGED THURSDAY
BY COUNTY COMMITTEE.
GARFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT

With the arrival of campaign
weather" interest in politics has ex-
perienced a decided boom. From the
national committee down to the pre-
cinct committeeman an activity is now
apparent that was not manifest before
the mercury dropped. With the de-
creased temperature came a cores
ponding increase in enthusiasm espec-
tally among local republicans. that
augurs well for the result of the vote
on November 3.
Indications point to somewhat diff
ferent audience at the coliseum Thurs
day evening, compared with that
which heard the opening of the cam
paign by the Hon. Edgar Dean Crum-
packer, last week. There will be no
hot weather and outlandish noises to
contend with. in the first place, and
besides there will be a somewhat clar-
flied political atmosphere, that will
permit of more concentrated atten-
ton on the issues of the national cam
paign.
In the address of the Hon. James
r. Garfield, secretary of the interior
in the cabinet of Pre- sident Roosevelt,
local republicans anticipate an inspir-
throughout the entire month continu-
ing until and through the deciding day.
Mr.. Garfield comes prepared to pre-
sent Roosevelt doctrines in a manner
surpassed by none in the nation with
the possible exception of Candidate
William Howard Taft. He is not a
spellbinder, but just straight-from-
the shoulder talker, who always has
before him and at his command an ir-
peal especially to the republicans of
this city and county.
Following Mr.. Garfield, the coming
of Seth Low, ex-mayor of New York,
former president of Columbia univer-
sity, and close friend of President
Roosevelt; Senior Senator Albert J.
Beveridge, of Indiana; John L. Grif.
fiths, United States consul to Liver

from the Sixth district, to succeed Mr.
Watson, will appear here.
Judge Barnard's itinerary through
the county, the week of October 26
will be arranged at the meeting of the
Wayne county republican central com.
mittee. on Thursday afternoon at 8
o'clock. Other township rallies will
be arranged at this meeting. The pre-
cinct committeemen will meet with
the committee and in addition to re.
ceiving instructions and the books for
taking the thirty day poll, the last
and most important work of the kind
for the present campaign, will listen
to few suggestions from the Hon
Jack Gowdy, of Rushville, former
state chairman and one Of the ables,

A MINT of AGONY.


The most peculiar accident that ever
came to my notice happened to COM
merciai traveller In Massachusetts. He
had been out late and in returning to
his hotel wandered beyond the town
limits and before he realized 1t was
blowing through stubbly fields in inky
darkness. OF sudden he plunged
over bank and just managed to throw
his body around sufficiently to clutch
the edge of the earth with his fingers.
For hours it seemed he hung there.
At last he could endure 1t no longer
and let 20. He dashed downtown
about six inches and then stopped
He had been hanging all the time with
his feet almost touching the ground
In the morning they pulled him out of

like baby, and his hair. that had
been raven black the night before, was

Ben Graves Will Have Entire
Supervision Over Ath-

HARRELL NAMED CAPTAIN.
HIS SELECTION TO LEAD QUAKER
SQUAD is GOOD ONE-FlRST
FOOTBALL ScRIMMAGE TO-
NIGHT.

The selection of Ben Graves, for
mer Earlham star, as graduate man
ager of athletics is an Innovation at
Earlham. Never before in the history
OF the school has there been a gradu-
ate manager Of athletics and 1t is ex-
pected this move will be or great ad-
vantage to the institution. Graves
will have entire supervision over ath-
letics SO Mr.. Vail will now only have
to direct his attention to the actual
training of the various athletic teams.
Howard Winslow will act as treasurer
OF the athletic association. The elec-
ton OF Harrell as captain of the team
insures a good field leader for the
Quakers. Harrell is heady, skilfull
and nervy player and last year was
one of the mainstays of the team. Har-
rell was captain Of the base ball team
last spring.
BY the encouragement Earlham is
now extending to athletics, it is shown
that the officials of the college realize
the Importance of sports In making
an institution popular and attracting
few years ago an obscure school is
now one OF the best known colleges
in the middle west owing to the prom
inence it has given its athletics.
Coach Vail will give his huskies
their first preliminary scrimmage this
afternoon. At o'clock Coach Horton
OF the high school will sic his outfit
onto the Quakers and the fun will be
on Saturday Earlham lines up against
Antioch college at Reid Field and Vail
is very anxious to get his men in good
shape for the game.
Yesterday there was no school at
the college and Vail took the oppor-
tunity of giving his men workout
both in the ns,rning and the afternoon.
The variety and the scrubs were each
run through stiff signal practice and
the way they worked out was very
encouraging to the coach.

Chicago, H., Sept. 30.-Rev. S. a.
