FAIRBANKS MANAGERS SAY
INDIANA is FOR HUGHES

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 3.-The
campaign managers of Charles War
rem Fairbanks are confident that they
can carry the fall election in Indiana
for Hughes. This feeling OF conf
dence comes doubly strong since the
State Progressive Convention was
held in this city last week, when the
remnants of the Bull Moose party
nominated a complete state ticket.
Not half of the delegates came to
the state convention and a number of
these were strongly in favor of aban-
doning the plan of putting a ticket
in the field this fall. Incidentally,
jackson Boyd, former state chairman,
who was a delegate, quit the party
and bolted the convention when an
effort failed on his part to have the
convention abandon the idea OF a
state ticket.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

County Judge John b. Wilson,
Sheriff S. o. Keown and Chief of Po-
lice Williams have received snony-
nous letters i'm the last few days
complaining about certain conditions
claimed to exist and take place with
in sight of the authors home. The
writer of the letters says that the la
dies living in her part of town want
conditions remedied and asks that
the officials arrest the offenders and
take other action. The anonymous
writer should remember that the Of
ficials are powerless as long as would
be helpers and informants refuse
their names. If such deplorable
conditions exist the proper thing for
the author of these letters to do is
to go in person to the officials and
give them freely all the information
they possess and aid them in per-
forming their duties.
People forget that officers are not

rests and unless citizens are willing
to lay aside their timidity in cases of
this kind there are certain to be no
results from actions of the officers.
Judge Wilson announces that he is
willing TO hold court of inquiry to
investigate the above charges at any
time the writer of the letter will
come to him in person, and he at
the same time promises to treat con-
fidentially, with sufficient evidence to
justify such court. The other Off
Gals are likewise willing to do their
duty. But don't think that the Off
Gals can make arrests and bring
charges simply on the recommended
ton of an anonymous letter that
doesn't even give the names of any
of the accused.

will be two, probably three, re-
ceinving points and there will be no
long haul to greensboro terminated
by a scramble on the loose leaf
floors and perhaps a weeks stay in
that city. Buyers may tell us we
can sell the Ohio county crop more
profitably if pooled separately. But
can we do It? viii they be there
at the showdown? Daviess doesn't
care. What they want to do with
the Ohio county farmer is to keep
him off the loose leaf floor. Probab-
~ prefering, also, to have him in
line.
The Cooperative Association is
headed by honorable men. If it did
not have men affiliated with IT that
were not in the doubtful column 1t
would have decidedly a minority.
Now let us see how much worse off
the Ohio county farmer would be
should it prove to be the rottenest
sort of conspiracy. He would only
have lost some. time in selling the
county crop. The loose leaf market
will be there and he can bite again.
There are no dues so he can't lose
financially in that way.
This thing is to be definitely de-
cided Saturday. August IL. Every
farmer that possibly can do so should
be present at the meeting in Hart
ford on that date. Have your eyes
open; do what you are going to do
with deliberation and, by all means,
unision. No house divided against
itself can stand and the farmers
house falls first.

Vicious Campaign Material.

A number of Democratic weekly
papers in Kentucky are carrying IN
their editorial columns a paragraph
prepared and sent out by the Publ
city Bureau of the present State Dem
ocratic Campaign Committee in which
the Republicans are severely scold-
ed for their shabby treatment" OF
Mr.. John w. McCulloch, an Owens
boro distiller, in defeating him for
National Committeeman with Mr.. A.
T. Hert.
We fail to see wherein the defeat
of a Republican distiller by a non
distiller affords an argument for the
reelection of Woodrow Wilson, or
where it is legitimate campaign mat
ter at all for Democratic papers.
We do see. of course, that the de-
feat of McCulloch is an indirect blow
to the Gubernatorial candidacy of
Mr.. Cantrill and to the future aspir-
ations of Mr.. Stanley, both of whom
have always, in Kentucky politics,

THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.

The echo of the speech of accept
apce made by Mr.. Hughes sounded
mighty good to Republicans down
here in Ohio county. Mr.. Roose-
Welt says it was admirable, and we
agree with him.
The opposition is bowling because
Wilson's foreign policy was attack
ed. Although they have been in Of
fee almost four years the Democrats
still believe that their pet admins
tration should be immune from at
tack. They say the administration
has guided us through the troubled
waters. Yet they tell us that the
foreign policies should not be ques-
toned during these perilOus times.
n we are through the troubled wa
ters why do they say "perilous
times?" Our diplomatic blunders
should be brought before the people
aud 10 Hughes belongs the duty.
Our relations with Mexico have
been of the farcial type. We have

made the distillers' cause their cause,
and the distillers' fight their fight,
1t is not difficult TO understand how
these gentlemen regret to see the
Republican party throw off the yoke
of the liquor interests. because they
fear the Democratic party might be
tempted to do the same thing. OF
course, should this happen every
body knows what chance Mr.. Stanley
or Mr.. Cantrill would have to secure
another nomination.

licity Bureau of the Democratic COM

THE TOBACCO SITUATION.

The 1916 tobacco crop bids fair
to be the best Ohio county has rails
ed in years. The acreage is large
and the quality good Some day,
and il is not far in the future, the
weed must be turned into money and
with that day usually come compli-
cations and dissatisfaction that can
only be lessened by foresight and
preparedness.
Various plans have been tried out
in marketing the tobacco and of all
those put to general use the pool
system seems to have given the best
results. The warehouse appears to
be the logical solution of the prob
lem but so dangerous did that plan
look to its enemies that it was de-
feated at birth in this section and a
champion has not been found to go
ahead with the work. II will come
again sometime TO stay, but until
then the pool must be depended upon
to bring the grower the best price
for his product.
But the pool promises little unless
properly organized and managed.
There must be a large acreage pledg-
ed and there must be cooperation
to the fullest extent of the meaning
of the word. Ten men cannot pool
their tobacco and force a sale, Meth
er can a county nor a group of coun
ties. A group of counties, however,
can offer greater attraction for the
buyers than can any one county. AT
the same time the larger pool is
keeping more men from the loose
leaf floors, and naturally approaches
smaller pool.
Daviess, Hancock and Mclean
counties have invited the tobacco
growers of Ohio county to pool the
1916 crop with them. They have
organized the Cooperative Tobacco
Growers Association and the organ
ization seems to he meeting with
success. A man, whose character
we cannot question and who is a
cousin to j. w. Ford, of Ohio county,
has been elected president. We have
read the constitution thoroughly and
find it to be fair in every respect.
But Ohio county poOlers hold back
because they remember a time when
they pooled with Daviess and other
counties and those counties sold their
tobacco and set Ohio adrift to do the
best she could. Some have forgot
ten and are willing; others have not
and hold back. 1t is not the want of
revenge that causes them to hesitate
but rather a feeling of fear; fear that
the same thing may occur again.
AS we see it the sore spot should
be erased; the thing forgotten. II
would certainly be no advantage to
the Daviess farmer TO invite the Ohio
county grower to cooperate with
him and then fail at the critical mo-
ment to do the very thing that he
invites his neighbor to do. Further
more Daviess agrees to enter into
contract that, whether legally bind
ing or not, sounds good and should
ii be broken the organization would
be but fragments in the winds.
If Ohio county enters into this
pool with Daviess, farmers of this
will have the entire say as
10 where their tobacco will be deliy-
cred. When a sale is affected there

The Lusitania.

LAS Mr.. Hughes said, ii is not

i ton behind the words which count
AS Mr.. Hughes pointed out, there is
no doubt that if Mr.. Wilson's conduct
and action had been such as to make
the foreign nations believe that he
meant precisely what he said in his
strict accountability there would
have been no destruction of American
lives by the sinking of the Lusitan-
ia. When Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words, his record shows that they
are always backed by strong deeds,
and, therefore, in the enormous ma
jority of cases the use of strong
words renders it unnecessary to have
recourse to strong deeds.
again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in
Enthusiastically straightforward
fashion of the outrages committed
on munitions plants, and all men,
whether citizens of foreign nations
or nominal citizens of our land, who
had in any shape or way abetted
or condoned those actions, can un-
derstand that Mr.. Hughes, II Presi-
dent, will protect these domestic
American interests and punish Of
tenders against them with the fear

showed in dealing with the powers
of evil at Albany"

of The Republican Nominee For

New York August In his speech
of acceptance of the Republican nom

assailed the Administration for the
course il had pursued with reference
to Mexico, maintenance of American
rights during the European war, pre-
paredness. and other questions of the
day He declared for a new policy
of "firmness and consistency" to-
ward Mexico, for the "unfiinching
maintenance of all American rights
on land and sea-" and for adequate
national defense; adequate protection
of both our western and eastern
coasts

lean must unreservedly condemn
them and support every effort for
their suppression"
Diplomacy Assailed.
The nominee assailed the Admin
istration for its direction OF dip

ming, declaring that where there
should have been conspicuous
strength and expertness there had
been weakness and inexpertness.
He declared also for woman suf-
frage. His speech was heard by a
large audience, among whom was
Theodore Roosevelt. After the
speech Col. Roosevelt gave out an
interview, in which he declared the
address was an admirable one.

welt. II am particularly pleased
with the exposure of the folly and
worse than folly of Mr.. Wilson's
Mexican policy, and of the way in
which this policy has brought humil-
iation to the United States and dis
aster TO Mexico itself.
Moreover, l am very glad of the
straightforward manner in which
MIR. Hughes has shown the ridicule
with which Mr.. Wilson has covered
this nation by the manner in which
he allowed foreign powers to gain

Costume Blouse of Crepe de Chine.

The always popular crepe de chine
and crepe georgette In blouses might
lose interest, II interest were not con-
stantly stimulated by variations in
style. Both materials are presented in
models made 10 wear with tailored
suits, In less simple ones for formal
afternoon suits, and in wonderful cos
tune blouses that riyet the attention
on themselves.
The blouse of crepe de chine shown
here belongs to the aforementioned
class. II is made with open throat
and fastens at the side under the col.
lar. The full sleeves are gathered into
narrow cuffs. Two buttons, with simu-
lated buttonholes, are placed at the
'front.' two others appear on the glrdle
and one on each cuff. All buttonholes
are worked with dark-colored silk.
This clever management OF the fas-
Jennings is in harmony with the very
handsome embroidery, OF our Egyptian
motif, which appears at each side Of
the front. Fine needlework counts for
so much In blouses OF all kinds, and
It is a pretentious feature Of the cos
tune blouse.

Besides capes made as pictured,
there are heavier ones In darker vel
vets trimmed with fur for wear with
afternoon and street gowns. In these
the velvet, or fur-fabric, is not gath
cred but is fiat and sometimes inter-
lined. Dark marabou and fur band
ings finish them and they are fastened
with ties Of soft ribbon matching them
in color or with silk cords. They are
shaped like the small fiat capes of fur
which came in as n new feature in fur
styles In the present season.
There are as many small fancy neck
pieces in fur and velvet as there are
little capes. Most Of them mufTle up
the neck in the approved fashion, and
nre worn with muffs to match. They
suggest good use for fur garments or
sets that are partly worn, and must be
either made over or cut up into bands
for trimming. Fur landings are used
on dresses, hats, bags, and all sorts OF
wraps.
