The men are A. B. Dick and Max Hot

Democratic committee Of the Hughes
the alliance:
AS a Democrat I am supporting the
candidacy Of Charles z. Hughes because
am convinced that the moral welfare
as well as the material interests Of the

The Silent Vote.

"Whether or not Indiana goes Republican or
Democratic on November depends upon what
the silent voters finally make up their minds to
do. At this uncture they refuse to reveal their
incnations
"Try as best they can, the most astute poll
ticians, OF which Indiana has plenty, have been
unable to find out where the silent vote will
land Both sides claim victory with outward
show Of confidence, but under their belts the
leaders nurse qualms and try to keep up courage
with stimulating conversation.
"The political dope sheet shows that Indiana
will line up in the Republican column this year
both for the national and State tickets. If one
follows the dope it is impossible not to be con-
WINGED that the State is overwhelmingly Repub-
gan in 1910 the result Of exposures Of rotten
ness in the Republican machine and adminstra-
ton here and which was indicative of the gen
eral revolt against the Old Guard in the c. o.
P which swept the country two years later has
passed into history"
This analysis OF the situation in the Hooser
State is given by correspondent of the New
York Evening Mail. The silent" vote always
is the favorite refuge OF politicians and political
writers when claims are to be made leaving
loophole of escape in case Of error. The Silent"
vote in Indiana in any other State is a puzzle
now and always was and always will be, but in
this campaign probably more than in others Of
the past, it will not be a deciding factor In
Indiana the only question seems to be whether
the newly remade friendships that split the par
ties four years ago will hold. If they hold that
Silent" vote will continue so silent it will not
be heard even on election day.

Rev. William Rhind Wedderspoon, D. D.,
preached his last sermon at Foundry Methodist
Episcopal Church on Sunday after six years
continuous service in Washington. He leaves
this city in response to an oft-repeated and urg-
ent request from St. James NJ. E Church, Of
Chicago.
DR.. Wedderspoon's departure is source Of
profound regret to the many whom he has in
spired by word and example The half decade
and more of his pastorate has been marked by
constructive enterprise and constant usefulness
not only to his own congregation but to the COM
munity well. His efforts have always been for
democracy and although his church was the rich
est in its denomination in this city, it was mont
the less haven for the man of small means 1t
was in this that DR.. Wedderspoon achieved his
greatest success.
DR.. Wedderspoon was born and educated il.
Scotland. He entered the New Jersey Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1900 was
ordained deacon in 1892 and elder in 1891 Tie
degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon
him by Allegheny College in 1907. He is presi-
dent of the International Reform Bureau, trustee
of the American University trustee of Penning-
ton Seminary of New Jersey, member of the
board Of temperance and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and twice of the
General Conference of the NJ. E. Church.
We cannot help feeling that distinct gain to
Chicago is equally distinct loss to Washing
ton. We wish DR.. Wedderspoon the success in
his new field of endeavor with which his endeav-
ors have been crowned here.

The tavorite assertion of Democratic leaders
endeavoring to "pussyfoot' the tariff issue is
when peace comes that their manufacturers will
be unable for years to compete in the markets
of the world. Germany is their favorite illustra-
ton. Well what about Germany? Hearken to
the testimony of the American Consul at Ham
burg Mr.. Henry H, Morgan, quoted in the
Times" Germany Mr.. Morgan says, is not
blind to the meaning of the recent economic
conference of her enemies at Paris. Germany
expects that her trade with the nations of the
entente alliance will be subject for time to
great restriction. Germany, therefore, is look
big business with America" which means that
Germany is placing her hope for rehabilitation
upon her ability to pour her products, at what
ever price they may bring, into the American
market.-New York Herald.

I saw her in the nursery.
An angel with an angels grace,
She held babe upon her knee
And washed the youngsters dirty face.
She wore a simple gown Of white,
And round her brow divinely fair.
There shown the halo Of delight.
While combing out the youngsters hair

Julian EItinge, female impersonator, generally
known as perfect dear" put on the gloves with
Mike Dillon, the St. Paul prize fighter, several
days ago. Mike landed on Jules nose so re-
lentlsssly that blood flowed but the mill pro-
eeeded for three rounds. Incidentally, says
the St. Paul Dispatch:
"Mr. Julian Eltnge was gowned simply and
entirely in white-white shoes, white tights and
white shirt He wore hat His gloves were
brown. Mr. Mike Dillon was clad in black
black shoes, tights and shirt. He also wore
brown gloves and was hatless.
Curly Ulrich, the referee, wore a green
shirt, with the tie to match. His suit was gray.
"Sponges used in the bout came from down
cellar, the towels from the front office, the
water from Vadnais"
Perhaps it would be just well to take the
prizs-hght assignment away from the society
editor and restore it to the sports department.

When the Democrats came into power sugar
was selling for cents pound and yet it was
paying S5,oooOOo year in revenue to help sup
port the government Since the Democrats re-
duced the tariff are losing about S36,ooo,ooo
year in revenue, and we buy sugar for almost
cents pound. Thus does the doctrine of
tree trade justify itself. Even Democracy has
temporarily abandoned free sugar but the same
old tariff principle is still the Alpha and Omega
of Democratic tariff faith. Tariffs that are too
