Will not the passage of a county local option law be a stepping stone to absolute prohibition In These and other pertinent remarks bear ing on the campaign Issues were made by the Rev Edwin Dickson pastor of the Ninth Street Church last night "The fight Is on and the result means sometmng to me it is not politics but one of morals the Prohibition Republican but for this policy We had fur a market for thousands of dollars' or American raw materials not have been used but for laws pro file hour POSTUM Hundreds of Acres In lames In the Kan kakee Lowlands SOUTH BEND' Sept ive hundred acres of the Kankakee Marsh are a solid j1 mass of flames Unless rain comes to the relief within the next twenty four 'y hours the entire swamps In front of the Are are In danger of being swept and ii the people In' the vicinity will suffer heavy loss All day people tn the fire zone have fought to keep the flames from thelr y's crops In many places fields of timothy i4b hay and corn border the marsh dent McKinley and Roosevelt where great i telllgence and diplomacy qulred than aipy other citizen who has served Presidents And In every Instance he has proven himself equal to th emergency OOO SORES AND ULCERS people of the United States ell realize now that If Bryan had been elected In 1896 and the policies for wh'lch he stood had been adopted the future prosperity of our coun try would have been Imperiled and the honor of our country destroyed Bryan In 1904 charged that Theodore Roosevelt was a man of war that If he were elected President he would Involve the country Since that time Theodore has received the world's a peacemaker ana this Bryan Is now claiming that he stands for the same policies that are advocated by Roosevelt and that he and not Taft will carry out the so called Roosevelt policies The pleas they now make to the peo ple for him In the newspapers of the country are all headed New or Changed Bryah" or Has Learned by Experience" gives one the ruddy glow of health a to sign no bills and that he did not want 1 to platforms with his opponent "If you were a manufacturer you would be for sticking on the tariff Possibly I would do the same were I likewise situat ed" said Mr Marshall In discussing the tariff A A Yellow Skin LV 1 Each package of Climax Coffee a question of I have voted nnrl TiAmn cratlo tickets and believed In the princi ples of each because there are some good men In all of them but If I can't get what I want through one then I am willing to accept the next best thing and have at least a portion of my wishes satisfied It I can't get absolute prohibition in Indiana at the next election then I am going to put the liquor business just as many miles away from my home as Hundreds of In Noblesville who have died from the effects of strong drink he said might be living today had the source of their supply of liquor been as far away as Indianapolis Boys are ruined because saloons are near them he de clared The Rev Mr Dickson speaking of the interest the brewers are taking in the campaign said: "The very tact that they are doing everything In their power to kill the cause of county local option Is proof that hell wants the saloons to re main In our midst The brewers are even interesting themselves In the election of some judges and prosecutors Tljey be come white around the gills with fright promise to be orderly and obey the law and quietly do everything possible to elect their men What does this mean? It means that if the brewers and saloon men get the courts and prosecutors on their side they will turn around and violate the law as they always have done "Mr Marshall Democratic nominee for Governor asks why all this hurry about a county local option con tinued the Rev Mr Dickson "Why bless your souls wo preachers and the better class of citizens have been in a hurry for a step of this kind for a great many years If Mr Marshall had preached some of the funerals at which I officiated If he had looked upon some of the death bed scenes I have witnessed and visited homes where 1 have been and seen the heartaches I believe he would bo in a hurry to do something to drive the liquor traffic away from bls The Rev Mr Dickson dosed bls ad dress with the request that all who favor county local option urge Representative Cavlor to uso Ills Influence for tle passage of such a measure as Judge In the state and ederal Courts as solicitor general as gov ernor of the Philippines as secre tary of war as peacemaker In Cuba to the record of his work In charge of the Panama Canal after this work was assigned to him In each of these positions he ha shown himself to be highly quali fied to perform the

most scrupulous dean liness and is packed in sealed packages thus keeping it free from dust dirt and germs that are obsorbed by the open bulk coffee The berries are neither cut nor ground but packed whole thus retaining always tneir strength ana aroma ministry of Indiana desires to go but It is such a great step tn that direction as to impel Its members to its support It Is not a question of party politics In supporting coun ty local option the ministers of the state do not necessarily become Republicans If for the time being they are fighting side oy with the Republican party It Is because the Republican party Is fighting In a cause in which' they have long been enlisted County option Is in harmony with the spirit of our Institutions It is In accord with the basic principle of American government It meets the requirement of the great declara tion that shall derive their just powers from the consent of the gov If the election of any candidate for Gov ernor Is Imperiled by the action of tho Chris tian ministry of Indiana or by the action of the great militant body of Christian citizens they lead and represent it is because that candidate Is the enemy of a cause the min istry and the church have long believed In a cause that Is as just as the judgment of ine vnrist ana wnicn no minister couia sert without the betrayal of the trust holds Action Should Not Be Deferred The same candidate for Governor who con demns the Christian ministry of the state for its support of county local option cries out against its enactment at the special ses sion of the General Assembly Again I quote his words: do not want the Legislature to Interfere with this question while it is under discussion Why the Governor of Indiana let the people of Indiana this question and settle it Certain newspapers are declaring: only way to tell what the people want Is to let them That Is precisely what I am insisting upon I want the Legislature to enact a law that will give the people of Indiana a right to vote by counties upon the question of the exclusion of the dram shop and upon this I want a word with the people themselves The enactment of a county local option law at the special session will not take away your right to vote upon the question of coun ty local option To contend so Is the acme of absurdity You will have the same right to vote upon county local option on the third day of November if the law is passed at the special session that you will have If it is not passed No right you now have will be taken away from you by the enactment of this law but a new right will be con ferred the right to be heard the right to vote upon the question of the exclusion of the saloon If after this law Is passed you do not want to give it a trial do not desire to retain for yourselves the new right it confers upon you you will have full power to say so on November 3 You can order its repeal You can yourselves relinquish the right to vote out saloons the law con fers upon you It is important to remem ber that the proposed law takes away the right of no man It will not of Itself close a single saloon in all the statk It only confers upon the people of the respective counties of the state the right and power io close uifl saioons in any sucn county it they so desire Do not be deceived The argument is not sincere These men and these papers are still opposed to your enfranchisement on this question at any time They are opposed to it not because your consent has not been obtained to have It conferred upon you but because they do not want you to be enfran chised If a special session of the General Assembly had not been called and this ques tion was not to be put up to It they would still be arguing against thia right being con ferred upon you and would still be seeking to prevent the election of a Legislature that would confer It upon you Indeed even as they cry out against the passage of a law enfranchising you lest you may not want the franchise offered and may not accept It they are trying to elect at special elections members of the General Assembly who will vote against your enfranchisement not only at the special session in September but at the regular session in January Tho argument against action now is but a subterfuge a false cry It is being maJe by men and only by men who are opposed to your exercising the right of suffrage on this question In your county No man who Is at hefli in favor of county local option echoes that Cry The candidate for Governor who cries ou? against it declines th sav what he would do with it should he be elected Gov ernor and a bill providing for It should be presented to him next January He tells you he will not answer that question until as Governor the bill as passed Is presented to him for Inspection Tha man who seeks the office of Governor of this great state and who refuses to tell the people what he will do concerning the most important public Issue before him In the campaign where he seeks election until after his election until after he holds your commission and is in office is not a safe guardian of the principle Involved in that issue Those who really care for that prin ciple and are concerned about he fate ought not to trust him If you do your duty as effectively as you ought you will never know from him what he would do if a county local optlon bill were presented to him as Gov ernor unless he tells you before the election The feint candidate for Governor who con demns ministry of tor support to i iih ftW township or city ward favors it' though by Ing county local option and who cries out a majority of but one legal voter the against the enactment of a county local op tion law at special session or me wenerai Assembly finds fault because the friends of i county local option have appealed to the women of Indiana for sympathy and support 1 Note his querulous complaint made at Terre 1 Haute oh the 9th Inst as reported In the dally press: do they want to organize 1 the women for? Are they afraid they will fall off the county local option plank and have to take refuge behind a County option presents a great Issue vleved from any standpoint It will confer upon 1 our people a new right It puts into their hands a new weapon against the dram shop and the saloon The issue Involved is a vital living issue It affects the social and horde life of our people profoundly I can not un derstand how any man who loves an Indiana home who is concerned about the happiness of Indiana women or who values the future of little children can speak flippantly or lightly of It Personal Liberty It is urged that local option invades tho pergonal liberty of the citizen Did you ever near that? I have heard 1t In every state within the last three years from Maine to Kansas but have observed that it Is usually urged by those who want not personal lib erty but personal license We are told that local option limits what a man shall drink that a man has a right to eat and drink what he pleases and men arg called upon to oppose it In the sacred name of liberty personal liberty! Personal liberty! I want a word about that irst I want a word of correction Local option does not seek to prescribe what a man shall drink It only proposes to give to tho people of a county the right to say If they so desire that he shall not sell intoxicants It leaves a num as free to drink what he desires after Its adoption as before It affords the people of a county power to forbid him selling Intoxi cants to his neighbor if they think best True this inhibition upon the sale of Intoxi cants will make it Impossible for a man to go to a saloon or a dram shop and buy liquor and drink it upon the premises It will take the saloon and the dram shop out of his way It will remove temptation from his dally path It wllkmake it more difficult for him to obtain and to this extent It will exercise a restraining Influence upon him not through an Inhibition against his drinking but through the Inhibition of its sale to him It Is said a man has a right to sell what he pleases so long as there are persons will ing to buy but thia statement is not can not be true His right to sell a thing de pends upon the thing he destres to sell upon Its effects upon those to whom he sells It upon the place and manner of sale and to whom and under what circumstances he sells There is a wide distinction between a right to drink what he pleases and his right to sell what he pleases to his neighbor and to his child What he drinks is much more largely a personal matter than what he sells I am frank to say speaking for myself that I do not believe a man has a right even to drink what he pleases If what he pleases to drink Is Injurious to him physical ly mentally and morally If it adversely af i fects his health If it entails moral degener jatlnn mental weakness and Imposes disease and lack of virility upon his offspring I am well convinced he has no moral nr I a 4 3 JUIO HUCSLIUH IS not Involved county local option Matters of 'Concern to All The public acts of a "man are matters of concern to all the people and whenever and wherever these are subversive of the public peace or of the public order or of the social Welfare the people In their ruling capacity may restrain him from further aggression When the traffic tn any article of com merce entails pauperism and crime upon eoclety threatens human life or commits murder It Is not only the right of the gov ernment to Interfere but Its solemn duty If man Is selling his neighbor drink that sets his brain on fire sends him out to kill his friend or home to strangle his wife and children It ts the duty of the state to In hibit his business If a man Is engaged In filching multiplied millions from the weak and erring and gives them nothing In return neither clothes nor covering neither bread for body nor food for soul nothing but contention and sorrow waste and heartache woe and do spalr It is the bounden duty of society and of government to put an end to the evil he does Personally I believe this profoundly I am not now asking the state to do this sole ly because the people of the state are not 1 willing to take so grat a step I am only 1 asking that the right be conferred upon the people of the respective counties of the state to aeciae for themselves whether they de sire to take that stop In their county I am pleading only that this power be given them that they be enfranchised on this question To this point my party has announced Its willingness to go To this point it Is going It may never go farther That It will or will not I do not undertake to say or the present It is sufficient that It Is going this far CHANEY DISCUSSES TARI Second District Congressman Opens Cam paign at Newcastle NEWCASTLE Ind Sept John Chaney of Sullivan congressman from the Second District opened the Repub lican campaign In this city tonight with a strong address explaining the tariff system and the work of Republican ad ministrations and Congresses By comparisons he showed the differ ence between the panics of 1893 and 1907 The first he said was brought about by changes in protective tariff the last by wild speculation dishonest bankers and fictitious values which 'he asserted will be eliminated by the acts of a Repub lican Congress tariff means much to labor ing said Mr Chaney "Ninety five per cent of home production is con sumed at home The panic of 1893 was the direct result of putting American labor and mechanics on a level with those of other countries and not requiring a license fee for Importation of foreign articles which are also produced In the United lie touched at length upon higher citi zenship and urged support of county local option At the mention of the names of Taft nnd Watson prolonged applause made the Henry County Court House tremble list of premiums?

Nebraska in the opening speech of the campaign here tonight Congressman Pollard 1 discussed the principal Issues of the and said the Republican party was willing to go Into this campaign on its record He pointed to the many achievements of the party in the last fifty years and then asked what the Democratic party had ever done to warrant it asking to be put in power Mr statement that the Repub lican party proposed to make Incorpora tions Incorporate under federal laws was the signal for a round of applause He said the Republican party did not Intend to destroy the corporation for it believed that the corporation was a necessary ad junct to the business world He declared the Republican party proposed to see that the corporation was so regulated that it could not interfere with the rights of the common people Discussing the agricultural problem Congressman 'Pollard pointed to the dif ference in the value of farm products nowand In 1896 and asked if the people would think of putting the Democrats back in power i OREST Ind Sept "Brutal and were the terms employed bj Governor Hanly In an address here to night in making reference to the attack upon the ministry of the state by Thomas Marshall Democratic nominee for Gov ernor at Terre Haute last Wednesday Taking up another utterance of Mr I Marshall's that he would not say whether i he would sign a county local option bill until it was presented to him Governor Himly said the Democratic nominee was not a man to be trusted He said: "The man who seeks the office of Gov ernor of this grOTLt state and who refuses to tell the people what he will do con cerning the most important public issue before him in the campaign where he seeks election until after his election un til after he holds your commission and is in office is not a safe guardian of the principle involved in that issue Those who really care for that principle and are concerned about Its fate ought not to trust him If you do your duty as effec tlvely as you ought you will never know from him what he would do if a county local option bill were presented to him as Governor unless he tells you before the Governor Hanly made a strong address In favor of county local option lie de clared the township and city ward unit Is so small so ineffective that progressunder it is slow and toilsome and many difficulties He declared this had led the liquor Interests of the state to its support as against county local option which they seek to defeat at any cost Under these circumstances the Governor declared there was but one place for the ministry of the state and that place is at the head of the column that' is doing battle for county local option Do Not Become Republicans In supporting county local option Governbr Hanly declared the ministers of the state do not necessarily become Re publicans If for the time being they are fighting side by side with the Republican party It Is because the Republican party is fighting In a cause In which they have long been enlisted Governor Hanly spoke at Burlington this afternoon his address following the lines of that delivered at Muncie yester day Ho arrived In rankfort from La fayette at noon As there is no railroad connection with Burlington ha had toresort to a carriage to ba taken there He was accompanied by several the 1 leaders of the party In rankfort and was' greeted by a large crowd The temper ance people predominate strongly in this section of the three counties Howard Carroll and Clinton and his every utter 'ance in reference to his effort to have the county unit option plank passed was cheered wildly Owing to the Inability of the Governor ana ms party to fort In time to orest he drove Kokomo A large Republican leaaers fort to orest return to rank get a train for from Burlington to delegation of local camo from irank where there was a large nnd very enthusiastic crowd out to hear the Governor There was a large representation of temperance Democrats In the crowd and many Howard County "people were present Kokomo being well represented Governor Hanly appeared to be in splendid spirits and especially grat ified by his reception In the Counties of Carroll and Clinton where both County Councils have refused to make the order for payment of the special election ex penses Governor Hanly spoke on the "Duty ofthe Christian as follows: On last Wednesday in the city of Terre Haute if press reports are true a candidate i for the greatest office In the gift of the peo ple of this state made an unwonted and brutal attack upon the Christian ministry of Indiana I quote his words: "I thought that when the holy oil of consecration was poured on a preacher's head he was dedicated to the service ofGod and not to tho service of the Republlc 'ian party There are etlll some preachers Indiana who think It Is their duty to preach the Gospel and not to beat a bass drum In a political What has the ministry dono that It Should sbe thus publicly reprimanded by one who sWseeks to become the head of the state? It has declared for the prohibition of the liquor traffic In Indiana It cries out against the wevils of that traffic It stands for the traf annihilation Its offense Is not a newone It Is an old and oft repeated offense Indeed' Judgment upon the traffic begun 'with the Christian church begun years ago and has long been continued If the church Is more militant In this cause today than it has been heretofore there la reason tor it A great battle Is on The church la compelled to fight or run away and It can't run away It know how It can fight fight and lose If It must but It can't run away A more militant church necessitates a more militant ministry luev who moral conflict must march In the van and not In the rear They must stand where the battle rages not Ho In the hospital Si tents st So the Christian ministry stands In the present contest Ita voice has a new note It has a clearer ring There Is In it something of the trumpet call something of a bugle blast and there Is reason for it A great party haa taken a great etep It has not declared for prohibition It is not a prohibition party Thousands of Its rank and file do not believe in prohibition iM But in answer to the demand of the people a demand widespread earnest and insistent It has declared Its purpose to confer upon ii people of the respective counties of the state the right to vote to exclude the saloon and the dram shop from any such county j' if they so desire It has nominated a candidate for Governor ft who eloquently supports his platform pledge The public welfare has necessitated the con venlng of the General Assembly of the state In special session The Governor has called upon the General Assembly to convene has announced that he will recommend to the General Assembly at the special session the enactment of a county local option law and Is appealing to all men who believe In the principle Involved In the proposed law to rally to Its support without regard to their party affiliations This creates a crisis in the contest and brings the battle to Its climax Another plan ts proposed local option township and city wards and It Is Insisted that tne right to vote to exclude the saloon from a

Township and city ward local option would add nothing to the present statute The sennit would be precisely the same' as that covered by the present remonstrance lav jA' It would not be a step for the further re cy strictlon of the traffic but a step towardthe weakening of the present restraint In practice it would greatly impair If not effectually destroy the remonstrance law Operating over the

Airdome in which he made a strong ap peal to the laboring classes to support the Republican ticket both state and national at the November election Ho reviewed the record of the Repub lican party on the subject of labor and enumerated the reforms that have been enacted beneficial to labor conditions He then challenged any man in the audience to name a single act passed during the two years of Democratic control that bet tered the laboring man branded the attack on James Watson nominee for Governor by labor leaders as and without foundation tif He challenged any leader of organized labor to point out a single Instance in which Mr Watson ever acted unfriendly to labor since he has been a member of the United States Con gress ully 2000 people crowded the summer theater and Senator Heinen way held their undivided attention throughout his argu ment Union Men In Audience 1 Hundreds of his audience were laboring men Terre Haute is a bulwark of organ ized labor The cheering of the trade union members' when Mr Hemenway warmed up to the labor question was a feature of the meeting Senator Hemenway arrived In Terre Haute at 4:45 this afternoon coming from tils home In Boonville by way of Evans ville At the station he was met by red A Reckert a boyhood friend He was driven to the Reckert residence 825 South ifth street where he was entertained during his stay in the city Several local leaders were dinner guests in Senator honor Howard Maxwell of Rockville Republican nominee for Congress in the ifth District made a brief address after Senator Hemenway had finished One of the hits of the evening was the singing of the Huntington Quar tet that received an ovation at the Re publican state convention The quartet recieved' enthusiastic applause Senator Hemenway was introduced by red A Reckert Senator Hemenway made an earnest and convincing idea for the success of the Republican ticket state and national Enthusiasm ran high at all times but it knew no bounds when the senator gave voice to'tlie following expressions: Stand by the party on Nov 3 that means a continuation of prosperity that means the factories are to continue to run that means that labor will be employed and at the same high wages men now secure It means that the United States will continue to prosper and will rank nations of tha world in every Industry Senator Hemenway in the main con fined himself to national issues but state Questions were in no wise overlooked He made a strong plea for county local option and declared the Democratic party has been slow to recognize the demand of the people for restriction of the liquor traffic doing so sullenly and grudgingly The Republican position as a striking contrast Senator Hemenway presented as follows: Many years ago Republican party 1 went on record as a believer in local option as applied to the retail liquor traffic but it was not until 1895 that the party found Itself in control of the Legislature The first chance the Republican party had It wrote a i local option law in the books and it has been bettering that law right along The Democrats themselves have acknowledged the potency of this Republican law and though their approval of it is wrung from them with evident reluctance yet they have given it their indorsement although they propose an amendment to it of exceeding doubtful propriety and expediency Senator Hemenway defined local option as nothing more nothing less than local self government as it is township or city ward option applied to the county as the whole He said it hardly seemed neces sary for him to say he was in hearty ac cord with the declarations of his party on the issue and that he would use his 1 influence to see that the pledge of the Republicans to the people of Indiana is redeemed Rat the first opportunity Proud Record In State The record of the Republican party in the management of state affairs was also cause for great pride declared Senator Hemenway He said: The Republicans came Into power follow Ing a period of Democratic rule characterized by extravagance debt making favoritism to i partisan offices through whom they were paid excessive fees and scandals in the man agement of the institutions that gave i Indiana shameful prominence The Repub licans paid off the state debt without satfrl flclng any legitimate branch of the service The Democrats increased the state debt over $4000000 in the last ten years of Demo cratic rule the Republicans reduced the debt $5000000 In the first ten years To day Indiana institutions are the models of other states both as to efficiency and econ omy Under honest Republican management they are operated for an average approxi mately of $50 per 'capita per annum lower than under Democratic rule As there are more than 7000 of these wards of the state the difference between Democratic extravagances and Republican economy means an annual saving to the state of something like $350000 a year In the single item of maintenance of the Institu tions In this connection ne took notice of a remark by Thomas Marshall Demo cratic nominee for Governor to the effect that the spoils of politics belong to the victors Senator Hemenway said: The of Indiana politics make small picking since the Republican party placed the Institutions beyond the reach Yet all this might be changed In a day by an unfriendly legislature Even lhe Governor could not help it The Democratic spoilsmen In tho Legislature of 1889 and 1891 tied Governor Hovey's hands they would have continued the same thing for Governor Matthews In 1893 but for the aid given him by a solid Republican minority Party Ever riend of Labor In showing that the Republican party has ever been the friend of labor Sena tor Hemenway declared that tho attack upon James Watson Republican nominee for Governor anade by certain misinformed labor loaders in Indiana Is absolutely vicious and without founda tion or fact He continued: I challenge any leader of organized labor to point to a single vote that James Wat son ever cast In the Congress of the United States that was not entirely friendly to labor He comes from good American stock his parents were poor ha has worked out his own way from the time he drove a dray In Winchester Ind While working for his liv ing he studied law when opportunity offered Me has now developed into one of the most brilliant statesmen not only in Indiana but in the United States as well highly quali fied by reason of long legislative experience to perform the duties of Governor of Indiana I predict for him a most brilliant career The people of this state are to be congratulated In securing for their candidate a man so manifestly well qualified to perform the du ties of Governor of a great state In this section the great mining center of the state Senator Hemenway is well known as the father of tho law establish ing fuel testing plants and the law pro viding for Investigation of mine accidents In both of these measures labor was deeply interested but not more so than in the ash pan law a measure to make safe tho4ives of railway firemen also in troduced by Senator Hemenway He re ferred modestly to his own efforts In behalf of labor
