WHAT IT WILL DO.
~

One of the things the new party
will do in Indiana is to make 1t
possible for eleven distinct prom
ises to eleven different men to be
satisfied with one postoffice. 1t
Will also pass a law making the
three thousand dollar note Dr.
Good holds with Fred Lands name
attached, legal tender for at least
nickels worth of turnips. The
Eleventh district deserves this
recognition, in addition to three
names on the assistant liquocratic
ballot.-Marion Chronicle.
Yes it will do more than that i
will line up the soreheads all ovel
the state who couldn't be elected o.
appointed to office 1t will give The
republican party a chance to rio
itself of such deadwood that has beer
hanging around it's neck like a mill
stone for these many years.

If a man swears by all that is

II the whole people are anxious
for Teddy, why did it take over
million dollars to get out less than
25 per cent of the people TO vote
for him in the late primaries?
Why are those trusts, whose
cases will probably come up in the
next administration. so anxious to
have Teddy elected?
If he should be elected, will the
Steel trust find him as willing
tool as it did before?

what is a man who tries to buy
those delegates or who tries to APP

If Teddy kills the Progressive
party in Idaho and in other states.
is Teddy fighting for the principles
of the party or for Teddy?
Is there a single person in the

other man lead the Progressive

SEND HIM TO CONGRESS-.

1t does ones heart good in these
days of political travail to read the
post-convention statement issued by
Col Charles Arthur Carlisle of South
Bend after he was beaten for the
nomination by Col. Durbin of Ander-
son. He says:
IT am a better Republican today
than ever before in my life. I be-
lieve in my party and the men
who affiliate with IL. I know the
leaders are honest and pure and
statesmanlike. l am glad that L
could have the opportunity of test
e ing the real value Of these great
party leaders and determine for
myself If they were all bad and
impure and corrupt.
Il lost, the victory of the NOM
ination, but / won a great salts
faction to my own conscience that
our party leaders represent the
highest type of honor, integrity
and value as Republicans and as
good citizens. who serve un-
selishly in a great cause. It's the
principles of the Republican party
which these men fight for, the
traditional good of the party that
inspires them, and 1 failed to find
a man who Is not willing to help

never expect to be called upon
again to serve my conscience and
my party in such manner, but
this experience will run all
through my life because II gave
me a close opportunity for a study
of man, power, party and principle,
and my confidence in my party and
its principles and the men back
OF it is profoundly convinced"
Contrast with this statement tn
attitude of the soreheads who hav
, lost out and topped to the othe
parties after the republican part
has honored them with office an
patronage.

WE CANNOT HELP.

THE TIMES acknowledges the re-
reipt of an appeal for funds from the
Democratic national committee but
regrets that it will not be able to
push the good work for Woodrow
Wilson as enthusiastically as ii
might
The appeal is a strong one and
some of it's pertinent statements are:
Before opening contribution
column write strong editorial
calling attention to the plan and
the work contemplated. BY per-
sonal interview phone and letter
have a nice list of Democrats
ready to start off with large sub
scriptions.
Then open the column with other
| editorial appeal followed with
those subscriptions as an en-
thusiastic starter"
Induce party leaders. presidents
of clubs. and public officials TO
| write strong letters calling upon
Democrats and Independent citi-
| zens to donate according to their
| means
! Us these letters daily in intro
! ducing the contribution column.
| Keep sufficient subscriptions in
| reserve to insure your being able
to show increase every day.
We believe the democrats in Indi
ana need not strain their pocket
books this campaign. Tom Taggar
has a very large barrel and the demo
cratic national committee shout,
leave it to Tom.

Fought to Make Safe,

There was no little comment In Yon-

Hickey At the Pier street crossing OF
the New York Central Railroad. where
he was run down and crushed by a
train. Hickey had charge Of an i'm.
po1tant part Of the work OF building
the new Pier street bridge over the
railroad tracks, which was to el,mi-
nate the Grade crossing danger. As an
influential Democratic politician In
Yonkers he had long urged the abolish
mont of this crossing. His night was

to the Groman-Campbell Construct ton
Company.

LOOKED WELL IN A WHITE
APRON

The lroquois Chief in commenting
ON the candidacy of Curtiss for CON
gress says that the Pierre Dakotan
contributes the following paragraph to
help along his campaign:
IRA Curtiss, it. is agreed, made a
good bartender, looked we'll in a big
white apron, and did we'll as a boun-
Ger for an Aberdeen dive, but really
We a not see just why this should
recommend him as a member of CON
gress."
The Chief has unlimited ammuni-
ton on this subject but does not care
enough about Big Ira to waste the
space that it would take to publish it,
We will merely remark in passing that
this writer has had in his possession
for over three months a copy Of the
Clark county records that bears out
the statements quoted from the above
papers. If Big Ira is the kind of a
man the people of this district want to
represent them in congress they
should vote for him on June 4.
