In this issue OF the Times we
publish the announcement Of
Junge Ira E. Robinson, Of Tay
lor &C unity, Repub lican candida ate
for governor in the primary June
9th. The announcement is clean
and concise and shows the broad
statesmanlike views of the man
upon the public questions OF the
day. 1t shows, as we have con-
tended all along. that Judge ROB
inson's is candidacy which an
peals to no faction, clique or sne-
cial interests in the Republican
party. but is based upon those
sound principles which have
made the Republican party q
party of accomplishment both in
state and nation Judge Robin

the duties and responsibilities Of
the Rubernatorial Office. He
makes no grand stand" play to

What has any man got against

Who are the colored men against
him, and why? Has he failed to
take care Of the race in q polit
ical way? Has he failed to rec
ommend and endorse better ed

why LILLY CANNOT WIN.

The friends OF Mr.. Lilly. can
didate for governor on a plat
form antaRonistIc 10 the Repub-
lican administration. show all
signs OF being downhearted and
discouraged. The enthusiasm
with which Governor Hatfield
was received by the large audi
ences at Northfork, Kimball and
Gary shows the way in which
sentiment is being directed to-
wards and for Robinson. Any
conservative man who will ad-
NIT the truth when he sees it
must concede that today the
working people of Mcdowell CO
are opposed to Lilly. There are
several reasons for this: First,
Hatfield is the idol of the people
OF this county and has demon
strated his unselfish interest IN
all the people. Not one promise
made TO the voters Of this state
has been broken. He has stood
by the working man and protect
ed bis int rests. As Governor
he has been and is still am ardent
and untiring worker for the Re
publican party. He has sacri
feed ambition for the good OF
the party.
Second:-Mr. Lilly in oppos
ing the Republican party as rep
resented in the legislature OF
1915 places himself out of syn
patty and harmony with the
great mass of Republican voters
who went to the polls in Novem-
Der. 1914 and elected memb ers
OF the House VI Delegates and
Senate who would carry out the
pledges made in the platform OF
the party in the Huntington con-
vention in 1912, and in the Char
lesion convention in 1914. Mr..
Lilly was q party TO the election
OF these representatives. For
him TO repudiate their acts he
repudiates the Republican party
and places himself in position
~ an ally of the De u ocratic par
". No man who has re
pudiated the acts of his own par
~ and it's administration has
ever been endorsed by the peo-
pie. The Republican party
stands for majority rule. The
minority can not dictate TO the
majority. 1t never has been and
never will be. lie (Mr. Lily
must admit this and concede
that he 10 wrong.
Third:-Judge Robinson stands
upon the fundamental principles
of the Republican party. He ap
peals TO the preiudices OF no
factions. individual or class. he
stands for all the people. He
will protect the interests of eve

Owing to the fact that the Kaiser

Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. io.-Presi-
dent Wilson's visit here today was
celebrated by the people of Indian
apolis as a holiday and by the
Democracy as a political rally.
The President suited his address at
the Coliseum to the occasion by speak
ing on good roads as it was the good

He touched on politics only once
when he declared the lack of good
roads contributed to sectionalism
Any man who revives sectionalism

asserted.
This was understood by the audience
to be q thrust at Mr.. Hughes, and
there was prolonged applause.
The President was the guest of
Governor Ralston at luncheon in the
Claypole Hotel Immediately after
this an automobile parade was review
ed. The last speech was made at
Tomlinson's Hall. where the Presi-
dent discussed the Federal reserve act
and rural credits.
1t was estimated that 5000 people
took part In the holiday celebration.
