Steer Away From Defeat.
Evansville Courier.)

The Courier IS anxious for its party
to win and for It's party candidates to
win. We believe the fight for the
Darty's success is worth while, aye.
worth every energy that can be put
forth to secure it. But does any one
believe that party success can be
gained under what II great and fear
less Democratic newspaper has called
"a detestable leadership" Are the
party defeats so remote that they are
forgotten? A short three and q half
years ago, Indiana was lost for the
national ticket and the minor state
officials were all defeated. In this
last compaign 10000 Republicans
stayed at home and the margins OF
Democratic success was but 1900
votes. Are these things forgotten?
What is there, then, about Craw'
ford Fairbanks and Thomas Taggart
that is so precious or so sacred, that
the Democracy will permit them tc
lead the party once more TO stingina
defeat?

A KENTUCKY PAPER ON soEHNE.

Jacksonville, Ky, Hustler.)
If the Democrats Of the state of In
diana are as wise as we think they
are and as wise as they should be,
they will make Hon. John w. Boehne
their nominee for the next Governor
of their state. While it has never
been our pleasure to even see the man
to know him, and while he is a citizen
of another state from the n of our
birth. yet we have for a number OF
years been watching with a great deal
of interest the career of this gentle
man.
AS mayor of the city Of Evansville,
he made a reputation for honesty, in
tegrity and a determination to see
that the laws were enforced, such as
was unknown to any of his predeces
sors. AS a member of congress from
his district he has reflected credit
upon himself and the people he has
represented. We believe as Governor
of his state that he would meet every
requirement and would be a worthy
man to succeed the present worthy oc
cupant of that position.
Just as certain as Tom Taggart anC
the gang that is dominated by his in
fuence should defeat BOehne an
nominate q man who is Objectionable
TO the masses of the Democratic part,
and the Republicans should nominate
a clean man, just that certain woul'
the nominee of the Democratic part,
be defeated at the election next Nc
vember. The voters are getting de:
perately tired Of boss rule, or bossisT
in any form.

has received credit for some things
n his congressional career that he did

contend that he has made a wise.
faithful and efficient representative or
the people OF the First district regard
less of party. and hat he is honest
and conscientious in his declaration
against the continued humiliation OF
his party through the servile attitude
il has maintained toward the Taggart
rule. The Democratic party is sup
posed TO represent the people; but
under Boss Taggart's rule the PEG
pie have no voice in the interests OF
the party, unless that voice comedies

Good Men Rejoice.
New Harmony Times.)

Good men throughout the state or
Indiana will vie with renewed hope
the arraignment of the bosses that
began with Mr.. Boehne's ~utterance
and has been maintained by the press
OF this commonwealth. Strongly en-
trenched as they were, the Democratic
office brokers' trust at Indianapolis
has had its foundation shaken and the
men behind It are learning that the
great mass Of the people are not with
them in their unholy purposes OF
placing offices according to their wont
and in conflict with the peoples will.
In the past this clique of politicians
| have determined what shall be in the
Democratic party and who shall repre-
sent it. The people of this great state
now are asking upon what meat these
men have fed that they do know what
is pest for them; what seerlike pre-
science do they possess, that they ar
rogate to themselves the right to
choose the men the people shall after
wards elect. Today these people de
1 Uduu Tue llS4l W hdLAO wv AOH 49,
go upon their ticket and upon whom
they are expected to place their in
dorsement at the polls.
The approval of Mr.. Boehne's utter
ance against the bosses is not con
fined to the people or the press of the
First district. but throughout an awak
ened state does come a secOndins
voice, both from press and people. ap
plauding the brave utterapce of a mar
who has the hardihood to hurl def
ance to the party boss and his ad
herents at indianapolis. So much 81
is this true that if the peoples will i

ton IL will be Boehne and. not tn

ticket in the mex campaign.

Some of the Things That Mr.. Boehne's

Evansville, February 1.-THE work
ing men Of Evansville and south

John w. Boehne. Democratic candi-
date for the nomination for Governor
are for him in spite Of the many ef-
forts of the political enemies OF Mr.
Boehne to leave the impression over
the state that he is opposed to LABOR.
Mr.. Boehne, who has een a toiler
all his life, /: a friend OF union labor
as many workers will testify. Emil
Levy, formerly president Of the Cigar
Makers Union of Indiana, and at pres
ent an official in the organization, as
well as a district organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, says
he has known Congressman Boehne
for many years and that he has always
found him TO be a fair-minded Il
honorable man. Il know he is a man
of his word,' said MI. Levy, and if
he is nominated and elected Governor
he will prove to be one of the best
executives this state has ever had. He
is on the quare and is against no
man. | wish we had a few more men
in public life like Mr.. Boehne."
Enthusiastic for Boehne.
William Kamm, until recently presi-
dent of the Evansville Central Labor
Union. made the trip with the fifty
Boehne boosters to Indianapolis q few
weeks ago, and he is n of the most
enthusiastic workers for Mr.. Boehne.
Mr.. Kamm has wide influence among
the workers.
A wellknown labor leader, in speak
ing of Mr.. Boehne's candidacy, had
this to say: ut is amusing how the
opponents of Mr.. Boehne are trying
to make the voters believe that Mr.
Boehne i opposed 70 the working
classes. You ean not find a respon
sible. la~borHlsader in Evansville who
is fighting ke Boahne. and I do no
want Mr.. Boehne put ia a false ligh'
with the workings people.
Boehne's Employees Like Him.
"Mr. BoehRe has employed hun
dreds of people for years, and none o
his workers has a word to say agains
him. but on the other hand, they sa,
that Mr.. Boehne is a good-hearted mai
and that he has always treated hi

WANTS MOTHER
Mrs. Ambrose Leaves Alpine
for Visit and Disappears.

Alpine, n. j., Aug. 90. - A rosy
young and pretty mother, who left her
home here a week ago Saturday for a
visit to New York. An aged mother,
lying at the point of death at the same
place, yearns for the sight of her
daughter, the rosy checked baby boys
mother.
Mrs. John Ambrose came to Manhat-
tan on Saturday, Aug. 10, for an over
night visit with her aunt. On the fol
lowing morning she left to make a
call on her cousin, Miss Hilda Jordan.
She never reached her cousins home,
and she has not been seen nor heard
from since. Ate. her departure her
mother, Mrs. John Jordan, underwent
an operation and is in a very critical
condition. She constantly calls for
her daughter.
John Ambrose, husband of the miss
ing woman, has been searching every
where for his wife. He has not the
faintest clew to her whereabouts. He
said that he and his wife had been
married for three and a half years
and that they were perfectly happy up
to the time she came to New York,
nearly a fortnight ago. The girl wife
loved her mother and adored her child.
She had often talked of going to
work." but he had always objected,
saying that he could earn enough for
both. She talked of trying for a place
as a hospital nurse.
at may be that she has secured en-
ployment somewhere" said the hus-
band, but I cannot understand why
she should not communicate with us.
We have no police department in AL
pine, only a constable.
