THE LAST OF TIE RACE

To-day marks the beginning of an
other weeks work upon the part
OF the business and public spirited
men of the city for securing the
Overland automobile works, of In
dianapolis. This may be the last
lap in the race, in fact the promot-
ers may already he entering the
home stretch. Up to the present
time the race mas been in favor of
the lncal men. The progress which
has been made, while it has not
been up TO the aspirations of the
most enthusiastic, has been very
gratifying. Not a day has passed
that some good hard licks have not
been put in and each evening has
seen several thousands OF dollars
signed up by the faithful of the
city.
There are some who have been
proTastinaung. They have been
hanging baIk to see what the other
fellows are going TO do. They have
wanted 10 see whether the men who
have the work in charge really were
in earnest before they put their
shoulder to the wheel. 1t has now
been thoroughly demonstrated TO
them that the Mamon men mean
business and that the Overland peo-
pie mean business. Marion wants
the factories and the factories want

no longer need for hanging hack +.
This is the time when assistance is
needed. We are now within sight
OF the goal and all that is necessary
Is for the men who will profit by
the coming OF the factory, the men
and women who own the property,

Joke. but now congress has come
to the point of thinking that he
may mean it, after all, and the men
who have been fighting for revision
are scratching their heads and won
dering what move they will make
next. President Taft's stand for a
reduction of the rates indicates
that he may be Of the same opinion
as the Democrats in congress who
have spoken on the bill, that it
means an increase i'm the rates in
stead of the decrease which is de-
manded by the people.
All during the last administration
the Republican president was forced
to look to the Democrats in con-
gress for his support in attempting
to prosecute the reforms which he
advocated. The cry in the last
campaign was for the election Of
the man who would carry out the
policies of the retiring president
and to give him congress which
would support him. President Taft
was elected and congress remains
Republican in complexion, but right
early in the fight II begins to look
as though the Republican president
would be forced to rely for his sup
port upon the Democrats in the
house and senate.
