JUDGE1 TAFT IN
HOOSiER STATE
INDIANAP0L18, lnd., Oct. 23.
The day's exhibition of political en
thusiasm lo Indiana baa been auch as
to eclipse all previous campaign!, ac
cording to the national and atate
leaden, who have been with the Taft
special. Great crowda everywhere
greeted the candidate.
Today Taft haa done leaa talking
and more "exhibition" work than at
any time since the campaign started
He could not addrese the crowda
everywhere, and so contented the
clamorous crowds by merely show,
ing himself.
Whenever be has spoken his re
marks were appreciated and also
what he aald. This one note, how.
ever, dominated his thought today:
"Indiana Is surely alive to her po
litical responsibility and character,
Her enthusiasm means success of the
Republican party."

The KMi I-ake Company Was Build
ing Ham There.
V. T. McCray, superintendent of
the Fish Lake Water company, Is In
the city. He has been compelled to
quit work on the dam at Four Mile
lake for this season on account of
the snow, it being over two feet deep
at their camp Thursday, when the
teams left with the camp outfit.
Their works are In good shape for
the winter. They will return in the
spring and construct ' their ditch,
which will connect Four Mile lake
with Fish lake. A dam Is to be built
at the latter lake, which will raise
the water thereon some 20 feet.
When completed this will be one of
the finest bodies of water In the
rtate, being pure snow water from
Mount Pitt, and the quantity which
these lakes, aa reservoirs, wilt con
tain will be sufficient to Irrigate the
whole of this valley If it could be
placed thereon.

4 day afternoon. 4
4 4
444444444 444444444
Captain Richmond Pearson Hob-
son addressed the people of Medford
yesterday afternoon In the City Park.
There was a fair-sized crowd present
to hear blm discuss the political is
sues of the day, and in addition to
that, Captain Hobson devoted about
one-half ot his speech to bis pet
hobby the need of a larger army
and navy and the capturing of the
United States by the Japanese.
The speaker was Introduced by
Judge W. S. Crowell In an eloquent
and well-delivered speech, which was
listened to with the closest attention.
He stated that be bad voted for Mr.
Roosevelt four years ago, but that
he was going to vote for Mr. Bryan
this election.
He began by stating It was folly
to say that the Democrats could do
nothing In case Mr. Bryan was elect
ed and then to claim that if he were
the country would go to pot. He
then devoted some ot his attention to
state rights and claimed that what
the Magna Charter was to Great
Britain the constitution was to the
United States aud the American peo
ple. In Mexico and South American
countries it was a one-man power,
while here It is the party who has
and exercises the power of govern
ment. Captain Hobson advised his bear
ers that there was always only two
great parties, and it was the duty of
the voters to stay by one or the other
of them, otherwise they would only
be throwing away their votes and
would accomplish no good.
He claimed that there were about
5,000,000 Democrats and about 5,
000,000 Republicans In the United
States. Then there were about 3,
000,000 Independent voters, and out
ot that number about 1.000,000 could
be Influenced either by the newspa
pers or 'with the use of money. This
1,000,060, he claimed, should not
have the franchise.
In a splendid hurst of riotous In
dignation the captain exclaimed: "If
I knew that my party was using
money to influence the election I
would cast my vote for the other
party."
Uncle" Joe Cannon came in for
a severe roast for not allowing Cap
tain Hobson and other bright lights
to speak when they pleased and to
take up all the time they wanted in
telling about the Japanese and other
foreign people coming over and cap
turing the United States In the near
future.
After roasting the sneaker to a
finish the captain gave his opinion re
garding the Increase in the cost of
living and made the claim that this
had Increased 55 per cent In the last
few years. This was all owing to
the Republican party and President
Roosevelt. He also attempted to
show how much better off the people
were in the old country where they
were blessed with free trade.
The balance of the captain's
speech was devoted to telling the peo
ple of the great danger this country
was In from the powerful Japs and
hew the Anglo-Japanese alliance
made It not only possible, but prob
able, that in a very short space of
time England, Canada and Japan
would Jump on the helpless Ameri
can nation, make the American peo
ple grovel In the dust and then hold
them as slaves for ever more.
At this point In Captain Hobson's
oration a Jnp In the audience, who
was evidently a spy In the employ
of the Japanese government, hustled
away and around the next corner,
evidently In tear that he would be
lynched.
The captain claimed that President
Roosevelt and the Republican party
were responsible for not having a
larger army and navy. He said that
the Democrats would greatly Increase
both If they were elected to power.
He wanted two powerful navies one
on the Pacific and one on the Atlan
tic oceans, and then an army that
could and would defy the whole
world.

prove that he doesn't talk too much.
