INDIANA FOR WILSON.
Plurality of 100, 900 Claimed for Dem.
Ocratic Ticket.

gresham John L. Lamb OF Terre
Haute. Ind, was a visitor at Demo-
cratic headquarters Thursday. Mr..
Lamb has been leading Democrat Of
Indiana for many years and in the
campaign OF 1908 was vice-chirman
of the Democratic National Campaign
Committee.
Indiana Is safe for Wilson and
Marshall by "a plurality of not less
than 100000" said Mr.. Lamb. "The
Democratic party is not only united
for Wilson and Marshall, but Is daily
receiving converts from the Republi-
can party. who enter into this spirit Of
Ehe campaign with quite as much en-
thusiasm and earnestness as the Dem
ocrats themselves. The Republican
party is hopelessly split between Taft
and the third term candidate and in
my Judgment the two factions will
work farther and farther apart as the
campaign progresses.
THE straight party Republicans
are bitter against ex-senator Bever-
'dge. His advocacy of the third term
candidate Is like red rag to a bull
in the eyes Of his old associates. They
say with truth that he owes every
thing to the Republican party in In
diana. They took him up when he
was quite a young man; petted him
and groomed him; sent him to the
United States Senate and in every
way shaped things for his advance
ment. They say with bitterness that
he has never shown gratitude; taat
he accepted favors In time OF pros
perity with both hands, but when tn,
party fell upon evil times he was the
first to desert 1t.
Indiana Republicans are disposed
to scofr at the lofty progressive utter
ances Of Senator Beveridge. They re-
call that ne was chairman Of the In
diana delegation In the 1908 conven-
tion at Chicago; that as such chair
man he cast the full vote Of Indiana
against the planks proposed by Sem
ator La Toilette calling for publicity
OF campaign expenses. for physical
valuation Of railroads. for the direct
election Of United States Senators and
other reforms which Senator Bever-
idge Is now loudly advocating. They
recall that for years Senator Bever-
idge was an active participant In what
he now denounces as invisible govern
ment That as United States Senator
he worked with the administration
and the secret government until he
was denied certain patronage which
he felt that he was entitled to.
Senator Beveridge. like most OF
the third term advocates. Is a man
with grievance: a man with dis
appointed ambition. with hopes of
rehabilitation in public life through
his advocacy Of the third term as
piration.
1t Is the general belief and my
own opinion that Taft will run second
to Wilson In Indiana and will divide
the Republican strength. or what is
left OF 1t. on basis Of two to one.
Roosevelt has noisy following In In
diana, but i do not believe that
when the votes are counted their num-
Der will be In proportion to their
claims.
Indiana. as l have said, Is safe, for
Wilson by at least 100. 900 plurality.

tern Manager OF the Democratic Ma

WILSON WINS. BOSS RULE ENDS.
Gov. Marshall Declares Hope of End
ing Bose Rule Lies I'm Democratic
Success.

Hannibal. Mo-. Sept. 1S.--In his
speech here tonight Governor Mar
shall. Of Indiana. declared that the
hope OF ending political boss rule lies
In the success Of the Democrats In
November. He said the Progressive
party candidate Tor President boasts
of being a destroyer Of bosses. but
likened him to the sailor of the Nancy
Brig. OF the famous ballad.
The Governors address here was to
some extent reitsration Of his views
on the tariff. He declared that the
high protective tariff was rapidly
turning the country over to the So
cialists and added:
II am not a Socialist. but IL the
time should come when should have
TO make choice between the aristoc-
racy of the few and the socialism
among the many. count me and my
house with the great throbbing heart
OF the many"
He closed his speech here with an
attack on the money power. which, ne
declared. was granted special privi-
ieges and controlled the country.

ior instance can make an arrange
ment with a farmer on a rural route
to send in dozen fresh eggs twice a
week and the mail man will hurry
them along.
one OF the most enthusiastic advo-
Gates OF the parcels post, or postal ex-
press as he chooses to call il. is Repre
sentative David ID. Lewis, of Mary
land who has worked in and out of
season for the passage of just such a
law as the one that is now on the
statute books.
This country said Mr. Lewis, "is
In a serious condition with regard
to the high cost Of living. The condi-
ton becomes more aggravated daily.
The cost Of getting last years farm
proaucts from the producers to the
consumers amounted to the enormous
sum Of $1,000, 100000 Our real prob
lem is not one Of the high cost of liv-
ing but the high cost Of selling.
The report Of the secretary of ag-
rlculture for 1910 gives the following
as the percentage of the prices paid
py the consumer, for which the farm
er received for the foodstuffs named:
Poultry, 55.1 per cent.
Eggs. by the dozen, $50.
Celery, by the bunch, 800.
strawberries, by the quart, 4S.9.
oranges, by the dozen, 2O.S.
Melons, by the pound, 500.
Potatoes, by bushel, 59.3.
Turkeys 63.4.
Cabbage, by head, 4S.1.
Apples. by bushel, 55.6.
"Onins. by peck, 27.S.
Green peas, by quart, 600.
"Parsnips. by bunch, 600.
The problem before the country is
the way to get this stuff. these vital
necessities, from the producer to the
consumer by direct route. We must
nave direct-from- producer to- con-
sumner way. We must handle the ship
ment in quantities to suit the consum-
er's needs. The farm must be connect
ed with the kitchen. If this can be
done the problem Of living will be
FAIRY we'll solved. The postal express
will do it,"

Secretary Joseph f. Davies. Wes-
tern Manager OF the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. announced the pol
Icy OF the committee in regard to cam
paign contributions yesterday. Mr..
Davies said:
THE Democratic National Com
mittee has placed no limit on the
size OF the individual subscriptions to
it's campaign fund and will not do so.
Ii Is the character and motive Of the
subscriber and not the size OF the
contribution that will determine it's
acceptability. There are an unlimit-
ed number of patriotic and disin-
terested people in this country devot-
ed to the cause OF clean government
from whom subscriptions In any
amount vii be gladly received. The
Democratic fight IL for the recovery
OF the government in the interest Of
the people and. IN order to effect that
recovery. We shall not limit the num-
bcr OF the contributors nor the size
of the contributions when they eman-
ate from the proper source and are
inspired by the proper motive"
