The Indiana republican candidates for congress met and resolved that they will vote for Crumpacker for speaker (provided he is elected). If Cannon is the caucus nominee, however, they will vote for Cannon for speaker. And anyhow, Crumpacker has been and is a Cannon supporter and is no better than the Illinois man. Is the insurgency campaign just naturally petering out in Indiana for the want of honest leadership? State Superintendent of Public Instruction Robert J. Aley has shown what one democratic state officer can do. Dr. Aley has snown that he is not only one of the best educators in the country, but he has administered the financial affairs of his office in a manner which is in striking contrast with the record of his republican predecessor. During the last year of his term the latter turned into the state treas-

During that year the state received 11,143.08 from the ex amination department of his office. This year the'Wlance will undoubtedly be >2,000, and tbe contrast with the >3.40 is still greater.

BONNELL’S POWER The Crawfordsville Statesman Seems to Have a Strange Hold on SENATOR BEVERIDGE Is Head of Finance Committee in State, to the Disgust of "Old Guard.” DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, ind., Aug. 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Although efforts have been made to keep it under cover, it has become known here that John R. Bonneu ot Crawfordsville is a secret member ot me finance committee of the republican state committee. If there is one man in Indiana whom the republicans of the “old guard’’—James E.- Watson, former Senator Hemenway, J. P. Goodrich. Col. W. T. Durbin and their friends—dislike with a fervent and cordial dislike, that one man is John R. Bonnell. They charge him with working tooth and toe-nail against the entire republican ticket two years ago to gratify a personal revenge. The fact that Senator Beveridge's state committee did not dare to name him publicly as a member of the finance committee and did it under cover. makes the affair all the more distasteful. The members of the finance committee as published in the republican hand-book are: A. M. Glossbrenner. Indianapolis: Isaac Straus, Ligonier; W. O. Bobbs, Indianapolis; Walter Schmidt, Evansville; Clemens Studebaker, South Bend; W. M. Taylor, Indianapolis: Henry B. Gentry, Bloomington: Thomas B. Millikan. Newcas tie; and J. L. Caldwell. Lafayette. At the head of this list should appear the name of John R. Bonnell of Crawfordsville. William M. White, county chairman of Montgomery county, knows Bonnell very well, but his personal opinion of the man would not look well in print. Two years ago White was the republican nominee for representative from Montgomery county. He was defeated and he lays this defeat to John R Bonnell, who has now been eaken into the conucils of the Beveridge organization —although his name is kept secret. Two years ago Bonnell wanted Charles W. Miller to have the nomination for governor and when it went to James E. Watson, he sulked. Not only that, say the members of the "old euftffl,” but having been defeated in his ambition for Miller and his determination to dictate the policies of the republican party, he worked against the entire ticket. They say he is past forgiveness. Bonnell’s real connection with the republican finance committee came as a dreadful shock to the "old guard,” but it was intensified by the subsequent knowledge that his power and honor does not stop there. There is in existence what is now termed the Beveridge "cabinet.” The members of this cabinet are L. G. Rothschild, Charles W. Miller. Elam NeaL and last, but not least. John R. Bonnell. And when the cabinet has a meeting Mr. Bonnell sits at the head of the table. This gets clear down "under the hide of the “oid guard.” Senator Beveridge’s state committee is a state committee in name only. The real power is vested in the Beveridge ‘‘cabinet,’’ and lies principally in John R. Bonnell. This is not at all pleasant to E. M. Lee, state chairman, and has embarassed him greatly. Just about the time he gets some feature of the campaign in hand and under way, along comes the "cabinet” and calls him off. And be is compelled to obey. Each member of this "cabinet" has tastes of the good things tn the way of political reward at the hands of Senator Beveridge. Charles W. Miller is United States district attorney, an office handed him on a platter bySenator Beveridge. L. G. Rothschild is custodian of the Indianapolis federal building and is the senator’s chief distributor of patronage. He is a man before whom the republicans of the state must bow down when they wish to get to the ear of the senator. Elam Neal now holds a position under Senator Beveridge in the revenue department. He is the man who traded off Beveridge patronage in the Eleventh district for a congressional nomination for John L. Thompson, of Gas City, who is the father-in-law of Neal’s daughter. And Bonnell, he has been at the pie counter for twelve years, having been senator Beveridge's first big appointment. Later he was taken into the camp of the Fairbanks-Watson-Hemenway organization and was reappointed by the then Senator Hemenway as revenue collector at

Terre Haute It is freely stated that he double-crossed both caqaps but that despite this, which is common knowledge. he exercises some peculiar hold upon Senator Beveridge and still sits in the seats of the mighty. An earnest effort is being made to win over the rank and file of the “old guard” by the "insurgent" element now in control of the state committee —or in other words, by Senator Beveridge. The members of the “old guard" regard themselves -as the republican party and look upon the "insurgents” as party bolters and nothing else. The winning-over process has not made very marked progress and the discovery of Bonnell's hidden and real relation to the active committees of the organization is a little too much for the “old guard.” These men who for years have FUX>d for republicanism in its true sense regard Bonnell much in the same light as Henry Geisler, a republican editor of Hartford City, looks upon Elam Neal, as "the prince of double-crossers.” They say Bonnell has double-crossed Senator Beveridge in the past, just as he has doublecrossed them, and they cannot understand Senator Beveridge's affection for him. While the “bolters” have made overtures to them and have induced some of them to lend an appearance of activity to Beveridges cause, none of the "old guard has been permitted to do much more than to take off his coat and obey orders. They have not been taken into the confidence ot Beveridge’s organization. On the other hand, there is Bonnell, whom they distrust and dislike, giving the orders that are handed down to them They are expected to smile and shout for the Beveridge cause, and under these circumstances the smile it not what it might be.

Albert Colchin, who on last Sunday week ago had the misfortune to dislocate the elbow of his right arm while playing ball at Maple Grove park, and who has since been carrying it in a sling, will be required to keep it there some time longer. He kept it well bandaged and protected until this morning, when he was told by his physician that he could remove the splints that held it. After he had them removed, he felt the pain again, and it seemed to him that something was wrong. He went to the doctor and after an examination was told that it had slipped out of the socket again, and it will require about the same length of time to knit again.
