Lowell, Ind, Oct. 6.-With the most
remarkable demonstration ever seen In
the political history of Lowell, the
campaign was opened here Saturday
night.
One of the sensations was the ap-
pearance on the stage of William Buck
ley, a wealthy farmer, who has been
one of Bryan's most ardent supporters
hitherto. Mr.. Buckley will vote for
Taft and Watson.
The republican campaign OF the
three Cree ktownships was opened in

part of the country. rhirty-five hun
dred people were on hand to help push
a good cause along and to give the
speakers Hon. E. d. Crumpacker and
William K1iver, candidate for joint
| representative. grand old-fashioned
republican reception. and the manner
in which they succeeded is the talk
of the entire town and countryside.
The torchlight parade, headed by the NJ.
c. Wiley band and followed by two
| hundred lady and gentlemen horseback
riders, the speakers and reception COM
mittee in carriages, and citizens on foot,
was magnificent affair, hard to excel
and a pleasure to witness. After the
parade all that could get in went to
| the Lowell opera house to hear the
political issues discussed. The stege
was handsomely decorated with pic
lures of men with national and state
regulations and in semi circle were
seated a number of our pioneer republi-
cans and citizens, including among
them William Buckley. an honored
resident and heretofore a staunch demo-
crat and fervent supporter of the peer
i less Nebraska statesman. !
At S:sO o'clock Attorney T. s. Rob-

ing to order and with a few well chosen
words introduced the speaker of the
| evening, the Hon Edgar d. Crum-

and various other topics at issue. His
! utterances were full of able thought.
productive of good results. and the way
he tore to threads and laid in the back
grounds the dreams and theories of the
opponents was certainly most convince
ing that the republican policies have
been and always will be the best to
follow. Among other things the speak
er said that he was personally ac-
quainted with Mr.. Bryan, that ne
thought he was a good man. but that
there were a lot of good men who
would not make good presidents. and<in
his opinion Willie as one of those kind
of good men. The addresses of Messrs.

along the lines of the main topic in
question and aroused much enthusiasm
among those within hearing distance.
The addresses of all the speakers closed
with splendid eulogy of Taft and

forgotten.
