AS SEEN FROM
STANDPOINT OF
REPUBLICANS
ROOSEVELT LOOMS LARGE
viii He Defeat Taft in the
Convention?

Washington, March 4.-The shadow
of Theodore Roosevelt now hangs like
a black cloud over the present occu-
! pant of the White House 1t portends
the probable defeat of Taft in the Chi
ca go convention.
Politicians have never discounted
the strong personal following that
Roosevelt developed in the country at
his election as president. Consequently
in the Taft camp there is feeling OF
apprehension over the plans of Roose-
welt and the Roosevelt following. Mr..
Taft is out for the presidency and
wants again to come to the White
House. He realizes that Roosevelt's
announced candidacy for the presi-
dency probably will end in defeat for
the Republicans and for himself, for
as matters now stand it is a slim
chance that the Republicans have of
winning in the presidential election
next November anyway. The President
and his following now believe Roose-
velt's candidacy is likely to split the
Republican party into two factions.
Democratic leaders point with scorn
to the administration of President Taft,
calling attention to the various investi-
cations of Congressional committees,
which they claim have unearthed great
scandals. Then, too, the record of the
Democrats in Congress is pointed to
with pride, a record they state, that
voters all over the country will have to
approve. They do not expect material
help from Wall Street, but count on
the great popular vote of the country
to bring them into power and place in
the White House the man of their
choice.
Just exactly what part Roosevelt
will have in the generally mixed up
political condition among the Republl-
cans is hard to foretell. The thing
that makes the Roosevelt supporters
power that will have to be reckoned
with seriously in the next Republican
convention is the presidential prefer
ence law. This will be tried in five
states. Oregon, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, Wisconsin and New Jersey.
ANY notion that Roosevelt sentiment
has died out among Republican voters
is erroneous. Politicians here realize
this and when the presidential prlm-
aries are held in those states the man
who is likely to loom up strongest of
all is not Taft, but Roosevelt.
If this proves to be the case, the
convention may find it extremely dill
ficult to restrain a powerful effort to
nut the colonel at the head of the ticket.
OF course the fact that other states In
the Union have not adopted the prlm-
arv nlan of electing a President Will
f rm the majority opinion of the con
vention, but as the Republican voters
of the entire West would, it is believed,
respond to an enthusiastic call for
Roosevelt for president, as we'll as
number of Southern states, it might be
a serious problem to nominate any one
else but the Rough Rider.

Political Gossip.

II looks like there was going to be a
pretty fight for the nomination OF the
three candidates for county commits
sioner on the Republican ticket at the
MAY primary. Five candidates are
already circulating petitions and un-
less all signs fail there will be more.to
follow. The men now In the field are
Walter b. Rogers, of Hillsboro, now
serving his second term as Iniirmary
Director; +. l.. Crosen, of Liberty
township, who was elected township
trustee last fall (; Stanley f. Smith, of
Salem township. Ellsworth Wilkin, OF
Hamer township and N. r. Barrett,
of Hilsboro.
Among the men'sprominently mem
toned as candidates for,commlssioners
and being urged, by their friends to
make the race are w. A. ) Johnson,
u Penn township: G.. G. O Pence, Of
New Market township and G. r. Mul.
lenix. of Jackson township All Of
these are solid substantial men and
any three of them would make strong
candidates, so it is certain that the
Republicans will have excellent men
on the ticket for commissioner.
Friends of j. Ell. Shannon are circu-
lating his petition for another term as
clerk of courts. Mr. Shannon Is now
serving his second term as clerk and
there has not been more competent
official in that office for years. lie is
not taking any hand in the circulating
of the petition, leaving the matter
entirely in the handssof his friends.
Harry Simmons. Of Greenfield, 1t is
stated, will be a candidate for the
Republican Tnomination for probate
Judge. Mr.. Simmons lis associated
with +. A. Squier in the drug business
in Greenfield. He is pleasant, AHA
bile and courteous gentleman and would
make strongscandidate.
So far no Democratic candidate tes are
circulating petitions, although many
men are mentioned as desiring to
make a try for the different offices.
Harry Hiestand iand. @. c. Kesler
who are serving their. first term as
commissioners will'undoubtedly again
he candidates. Robert Mclaughlin,
Of Salem township, is mentioned as
the third candidate and there will
undoubtedly he others.
Charles j. Duncan, .'of Hlllsboro, Is
said to be thinking of making the
race for auditor. Harley Holt, who
was defeated by w. A. Teter in 1910,
il is understood will not be candi-
date.
| N. Craig Mcbride, the present prose-
cutting attorney, will be a candidate
for a second term and twill have no
opposition.
w. +. Hogsett, Of Hillsboro, is al.
ready in the field flor the'Democratic
nomination for clerk of lcourts.
g. Q. Muhlbach will without doubt
be given the nomination for Represen-
tative, as he is only serving his first
term.
j. b. Worley and John NJ. McMullen
are both said TO have the probate
judge bee, but neither has.announced
his candidacy.
The number of candidatess in the
field this early in the year would
indicate that there would be no
dearth Of candidates at the May pri-
mary. The more the merrier.

OID-FASHIONTD BROWN
SUGAR HAS DISAPPEARED

Perhaps you have noticed that
the old-fashioned brown sugar, like
our mothers used to cook with, has
practically disappeared from the
market.
There is a reason. This reason
consists of Joker" in the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, under what is
known as Dutch Standard No. 16"
test.
When this test was fixed It meant
the barring out of the old-fashioned
brown sugar, cheap and good, and
that is why this brand of sugar has
disappeared from the market.
Whenever a tariff bill is in the max
ing, the agents of the Sugar Trust
are on the ground to see that the
Dutch Standard" is maintained.
They had no difficulty in getting the
makers of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
to accede to their wishes.

Smith a bond for deed to the

strike on the farm adjoining this

stood. and telling Mcfarland the
land was his, they paid him large
lease money and sought possession.
Smith resisted, and the case will be
fought out in the courts. The farm

MRS. l0UTILDA LYNCH
WAS GRANTED PAROLE
Killed Her SOn.in.Law, Ambie
Bucks Now in Help.
less Condition.

The Owensboro Messenger says:
Mrs. Loutilda Lynch, who has
been in the penitentiary for the
past year, during which time she
has been serving time on an indie
terminate sentence of from two to
twenty-one years for the killing of
her son-in-law, Ambie Buck, has
been granted a parole and is again
in greensboro. The woman is par
alyzed, and for that reason the pris-
on commission has allowed her to
be removed to the home of her hus-
band in Daviess county.
1t will be remembered that the
woman walked a considerable dis
lance to the home of her son-in-law,
carrying a shotgun, at the muzzle
of which she forced her husband
and two other male kinsmen to ac-
company her and that at the home
of Buck, when he came to the door,
she fired the contents of the gun
into his body.
In the trial, which was held af
ter the woman had been connned in
the Jail for a long period, it was
developed that she had a number
of peculiarities, If indeed she was
not insane at times, and the defense
was made out largely on the idea
that at the time of the shooting she
was mentally irresponsible for her
acts.
The jury that heard the case,
however, determined that she knew
what she was doing at the time she
fired the shot, and verdict of
guilty was returned, the court fl
nally sentencing her. Since being
in the penitentiary, she has been i'll
large part of the time, and her
condition has become worse, till
the commission took action and al
lowed her to return to her home.
