.coIN0 Rack" IN INDIANA

lola Register: one OF the favor
,,a observations of Progressive ora
tors in Kansas is that NOBODY ID
going back to the Republican party
Nobody ought to believe that even
IN Kansas. for In every neighpor-
hood there are witnesses to the con-
trary But in Indiana It is made I'M
possIble to believe It by a document
which is being posted on the ouiie-
tin boards and widely circulated
This document is in the form OF q
poster with a group photograph OF
a hundred men at its top and below
q the signatures of the men TO q
statement which these men adopted
at a meeting in Indianapolis july
40 1914. The following is the state
ment and It deserves careful read
ing by every man and woman VINO
has been even tempted to think that
the Republican party has had its
day:
"To the Voters of Indiana:
"Tn 1912, for reasons which we
deemed sufficient. thousands OF ne
publicans voted other tickets.
"These reasons no longer exist
The organized protest against meth
ODDS and men, but not against prin-
c,ples. was effectual. The purpose
of the third party is accomplished.
The present duty and privilege OF
those who made this protest Is now
apparent, and thousands upon thou
sands have Joined again the Repub-
,,cau forces for sure and permanent
progress.
"The Democratic party has again
demonstrated its utter incapacity 10
conduct the government affairs OF
this country. The Democratic ad-
ministratIon at Washington is sig
nal faiIure-a cataclysm OF pervert-
ed purposes and broken promises.
The Democratic state administration
in Indiana is a tragedy Of extragan-
cies-its tax levying and debt-mak-
ing activities measure only by the
possibilities. In its zeal to spend the
peoples money, laws are signed
published and enforced which never
were enacted-a states disgrace.
ITO change, these conditions In
state and nation is the absolute duty
of every good citizen. To the Repub-
lican party now, as in the past we
turn for deliverance. On the prac-
tice of its principles depends the
preservation of our institutions; on
it's success depends the countrys
welfare. The Republican party is
the only one effectual instrument
in this country to apply to wrong
conditions and to new conditions the
wisdom of experience and the eff
cacy Of honest, Jealous service.
There neither is nor can be any
other possible agency.
Therefore, we appeal to men OF
all political parties and especially to
those others, who, with US, in 1912,
for any reason, voted the Progress
sive ticket, now to join with us, as
Republicans, in the great united eff
fort to bring again to the country
the prosperity to which 1t is entitled
and to Indiana again the efficient
government which we desire. The
solution of the situation is a matter
OF patriotism. Let US aid not OBJ
struct-all that no harm shall
come to the republic

AN nlPoRTANT puTY

Far and away the most important
matter before the men and, women
voters of Kansas at the election next
month Is the choice Of three mem
bers of the supreme court. other
officers to be chosen serve only two
wears. II a mistake is make 1t can
be corrected in 1915. But justices
of the supreme court are elected for
six years; in the light OF which 1t IS
the duty Of every voter to consider
the candidate prayerfully and care
fully before voting. Three-sevenths
of the court are to be chosen this
fall. Three-sevenths is nearly hail.
Judge Henry F. Mason OF Garden
City and Judge Alfred w. Benson
OF Ottawa are now and have been
for a long time. on the supreme
bench. They are asking reelection.
They have been nominated on
non-partisan ballot. They have been
members of a court which has made
itself felt in matters OF 1udiciai
progress from ocean to ocean. NO
court of final resort In the whole
limited States is closer up to Date
with its business. 1t Is as close up
AZ lawyers and clients in the or
DERBY and careful preparation OF
cases will permit. 1t stands right IN
the front of courts that have brush
al aside technicalities and gone to
the merits with speed and certainty.
II leads in this line. And so far as
labor laws, insurance laws, work
men damage laws, prohibitory laws
trust laws and all laws constituting
differences between labor and capl-
tai II also leads. The farmer Is
sure of his inning in this court even
when arrayed against the most pow
erful financial combinations on the
face of the earth.
The two men named ABOVE
Judges Mason and Benson, have
borne and are bearing their full
share of credit and responsibility
IN carving the banner Of the court
TO the advanced position 1t holds.
Judge Mason has served his town.
county and state in many capaci-
ties from county attorney, through
the legislature to the court he now
holds so sacred, and in which he mas
so faithfully served. He should be
kept on the bench. He is young
man and there is much yet in prom
Use for him as a judge of the SUI
preme court, and possibly the fed
eral court.
Judge Benson is a veteran, not
only of the big Civil war, but in all
the services and duties a consclen-
tious man can be called upon 10
perform for his fellow man and wo-
man. He is perfectly equipped Tor
the duties of the office, has the tenn
nerament, the habits, the experience
which make him valuable. lnciden-
tally he is probably the last old SOL
der who will ever have his name
on a state ticket. He is the last cleo
tive old soldier in the state mouse
now. and considering his splendid
health and ability to perform the
exacting work of the court 1t Is an
honor and duty to vote for him.
The two men named should be
elected: Henry F. Mason and Al
fred w. Benson. Every woman can
vote for them in perfect confidence
and certainty. So can every man.
for that matter. There are three
Judges of the supreme court to
elect, remember that, but remember
also that Judges Mason and Benson
should be two of them.-Minneapo-
lis Messenger.

The Confessions OF a Wife
Dad Waverly is Very Sick

The change for the worse in Dad
Waverly's health has come sooner
than expected. 1900
The day before yesterday he was
taken with an acute attack of -nremic
poisoning and was carried home un-
conscious. Mother Wayerly promptly
went to pieces and had to be put to
bed.
Dick got over to the house and i'm
mediately sent for me.
When l arrived found two doctors
working over dear old Dad.
Have they sent for nurse?' 7
asked
NO. answered Dick; mother
seems to think that Aunt Mary, Mol
lie, Mary, yourself and she can take
turns In taking care OF him.
Now look here. Dick remon-
strated, lets look at this matter In
a sensible light. In the first place
Dad needs the care OF trained
nurse; not one of us knows a thing
about nursing To rotate in this case
would be spelling the comfort OF three
families and keeping us all In hot
water
This would not make SO much diff
ference, but with us all working and
worrying poor old father would not
get such good care as he would IL we
all attended to our daily business and
gave from our several incomes, II
necessary, to hire nurse
"Just at present 1t seems to me
madness for Mollie to give up her
position, for you know that this Is
Dads last sickness and after-well.
am sure that Mollie will be happier
earning her living than she would be
trying to live on the little. that Moth.
er Waverly will have
Mother seems to think that Mol
lies place is at home. She wanted
her to give up her Job this morning
and because Mollie would not do 1t is
one reason why mother went to
pieces. She said that Mollie had
shown that she had no heart and did
not care II her father lived or died
i do think that Mollie might have
stayed at home today at least.
Now. Dick, let's look at the mat
ter calmly. Mollie has Just taken a
new position: she has been there. but
one day. Do you think you would
have felt you could have stayed home
under the circumstances? Ldon't see
Jack around the house anywhere
