body else lead us and try line of eX-
pertinent: | do not come among you
today to speak of what is going on in
local politics. but will leave that for
another. | wouldn't say word against
MIR. Marshall, the candidate of the OPP
position for governor as he has every
thing in voice and presence that is ne

you cast for governor is not to select
some one fit for his social standing. |
believe the man you vote for ought to
have the necessary principles of gov
eminent, executive ability and the
power to enforce the causes he es-
pouses. When the people of the great
state of Indiana have put in their votes
and they have been counted out it will
be seen they want Mr.. Watson for gov
ernor. 1t is because of the principles
he believes in and advocates.
But let us to other fields. | need
not talk long about the man who is to
be our next president. Look on the
legislative records and the laws placed
upon our statutes in the last twelve
years. They are what his party have
made and they are what he ;<Snds for.
| Our opponents are noted for not stay
| ing at home to hunt their issues and
each time they must seek something

| always looks so far away that he can
not see anything near at home. There
is lot about trusts being talked of.
We have law that provides a pun
ishment for any combination for the
unlawful restraint of trade. Now the
law provides land the Democrats are
not telling this that if anybody in the
country is injured by trust and shows
such to be the fact in court, the judge
shall multiply the amount named in

add to that a reasonable sum for at
| torney'S fees.
| The chief question to be decided
upon in the matter of a president is
that of fitness. Nobody will say that
with all his experience and understand
| ing there is any filter than Mr.. Taft.
Some think Bryan ought to be fit by
this time because he has been trying
to be president for so long and ought
to have a chance. What has Bryan
done? He has made great speeches
| and has been nominated for president
| by his party three times. At first he

people who now are in debt and owe
| full sized silver dollars make me pres

your debts with fifty cent dollars. But
he didn't get there. Then he found
some little brown people some 10000
miles away and he said, put Mckinley
out and me in, and then l can go down
there and turn those fellows loose But

Abraham Lincoln, and said it was the

the incident of the lost railroad pass
