THAT DEMOCRATIC SENATOR The suggestion of Governor Marshall that, in view of the repeated declaration in democratic platforms in favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, it would be advisable for the state convention to select a candidate for the senate to oppose Beveridge, is receiving extended consideration. It is apparent that there is a conflict of opnion as to whether the suggestion is one of which the party can or should avail itself this year, however meritorious and deliberate it may be as a general proposition. Plausible reasons are urged both for and against the naming of a senatorial candidate by the convention which will assemble on the 27th and 28th of April. In the end, doubtless, the convention itself will settle the question in such a manner as seems to the delegates best for the party. And in the meantime there is no cause for ex-

citement or undue contention. So far as the result of the campaign is concerned it can make little, if any difference whether the convention names a party candidate for the senator or leaves the choice to a caucus of the democratic members of the leg islature. Governor Marshall In no sense has assumed the attitude of attempting to dictate to the convention. He has merely exercised his right, as an Individual democrat, to express his opinion upon the subject, just as any other democrat may express the same or a contrary opinion. The attempt of the republican press to make it appear that the governor’s suggestion is either to help or hurt any democrat who aspires to be senator is foolish. And equally foolish is the republican press to make It appear that remocrats who do not at ’his time indorse the governor's suggestion are actuated by either personal or political animosity against him. Indiana democrats do not propose to quarrel—not this year at least. They may have different views as to what is best to do under given circumstances, but to a man they are going to abide by the action of their state convention on all questions concerning their energies against the opposition. And they will do it with enthusiasm, too, and thereby win a victory which is very essential to the public welfare. FOUND—Brindle bull dog pup.
