The speaker said th n was an at .. nipt bfdnp mad- 1-y the republican leadrs to escape this responsibility l.y claiming that Warren T. McCray is not responsible "for their short- "minies." although the speaker said McCray accepted the nomination up on the sirno platform that indorsed th ;oolrirh administration and is therefore "Lineal and direct heir at iaw to all that Goodrich said and did as governor. M'Crny In Clov Touch. The speaker pointed out that Mr fray, since his nomination has been in constant touch with the present .': dministratir.n leaders who control the destinies of the republican party and has helped them in their at tempt to Kft the party out of the dilemma in which (JcodriohJsm has placed it. "When the legislature was mud dling in special session over the fol lies of the Cocdrlch tax law. War ren McCray was assisting in finding some way to aain fool the people of Indiana, by pretending to amend the Kreat tax folly." Mr. Spann said. The speaker called attention to the Crawfordsvllle conference which was attended by CJnv. Goodrich, Sen. New. McCmv and ethers who "grap pled with the assembly's tax law dead lock and adopted a plan of ac tion" to break it. Mr. Spann pointed out that the house, Mr. Spann Faid, "th" entire public debts had be n paid and there were three million dollars in the state treasury, and he did not ha y to Ju'le th" books in order to make both ends meet, nor were there anv borrowings from on fund to make lelieve another fund riht. nor did Ralston all :i sp session of the legislature to k:p our puMic institutions free from a finan cial breakdown. " The democrat.'.' nominee raid con siderable attention to the tax law. He said it will co down in history of this ptate as the most burden s."mc. unjust and comprehensively unfair law ever soucht to be en forced in Indiana. Its a protrs-yde and costly abortion. Tax IWianl In Control. The central point of this tax law is the state board of taxation and it is piven such power that it could control and dominate every taxpayer and tax paying unit in the Mate. The state lax board without any facts to justify its conduct pro ceded to make horizontal increases in nearly every county in the .-täte. The increases in some instances we re as hiph as 50 pe rcent over the assessment of local (fürers. Suits wore brought and one of the cases from Marion countywas taken to the supreme court. It was held by the court that the action of the board ef taxation was lllepal. and this threw the law that (;oodrich had brapced about into the scrap heap. The financial condition of the state was deplorable. There was no money with which to run our public institutions and after the decision of the supreme court it was seen that the whole scheme of taxation would have' to be revised. In other words, the Goodrich administration had broken down and the state confront ed with bankruptcy. ejoodi ichism had ruined Indiana and the repub lican party by its folly in following Goodrich is responsible for the ruin. The governor was compelled to call his legislature in session the sec ond time to remedy the blunders it had made in the regular session, but the oftener it was called topether the worse the blunder. And we have tne cuiminaunp: oiunuer in the new The first was simply an injury the latter an insult as well."

It was pointed out that nr.drr the i new tax law there was nothing in it j to prevent the board from increasir.c ! taxes in any county as it phases by i new levies to be made by it and the I n!y recourse an arrPa' fach in 1 dividual tax payer.

Th" sj'eaker discussed the effect of the new law at lenirth and showed how the farmers of the state had been ipn-red as to th" tax bill they presented to the legislature. He called attention to the so-called Johnson home rule bill and declared it a measure of expediency, like the Kiper-Tuthill law. He cilled on the voters "to see that the iniquit ous tax law is repealed and to im press on Goodrichism that principle is greater than expediency." get Rid of Them tjg LOUGHWS DETERGENT Q.CCA" RELIEF WAY Fact TwaiatOficc 2WTSf0uvta Building The Dl 12octrio Sbcp S.

The speaker went into a discus sion of the Highway romnilinii which he characterised as "another" n;irt of the Goodrich political ma chine" and which has been used i shamefully in the Interest of Good- j rich politics.

A- 'Sit vLy-. JjA I ' l f t J -;!' Rapid Growth of a Live Wire Institution It might be of interest to South Bend folks to know something of the early history and rapid growth of this big industry. The South Bend Bait Company originated about 25 years ago by F. G. (Bucktail) Warden in a little room on South Michigan street, near the Grand Trunk tracks. About 1 5 years ago it moved and became a part of the South Bend Dowel works. Later on it reorganized and moved to an old brick building at the corner of Colfax avenue and La fayette street. About four years later it again moved to larger quar ters on Colfax avenue, over the Electric Service Company. Again it was forced to seek larger quarters and moved to its present location, 1 108 South High street, near the New York Central tracks, where it is manufacturing more and better artificial bait than any factory in the country. This fast growing concern is producing over 500 different types and colors of wooden baits and thousands of different flies, spin ners, leaders and lures of all kinds. It also makes the famous South Bend level-winding Anti-Back Lash Reels and the well-known Anti-Back-Lash Reel, which are two articles in fishing tackle that undoubt edly have done more for promoting bait casting angling sport than any thing else ever produced in fishing tackle. The South Bend Bait Company is the largest manufacturer of baits in the country. Its large modern factory employs 1 50 men and wom en and its product is a great booster for South Bend from coast to coast. The golden rod yellow color boxes that each bait is packend in and the advertising cards feature the name South Bend many million times, so we believe this firm can easily claim the biggest booster of the "World Famed" South Bend throughout the country. It also mails 50,000 copies of its beautiful color catalog, "The Days of Real Sport," which is a very attractive edition. Mr. Ivar Hennings, president and general manager, came to South Bend nine years ago from Chicago. The South Bend Bait Company is a progressive, live wire concern. Long may it boost the name of South Bend through this grand and glorious country of ours. all "8 o in iiion rt, M Gala footwear days are announced in which you will be greeted by the most authoritative display of compelling styles in o Fall Boots xfprds, Pumps A 1 tri $10.oo to $18.50 Flh ifu Arch U A ;; i 1 With the best delivery equipment that monc) can buy, and with route men whom we are paying J $39.00 for six days work, the public has a right to expect good service.
