NEED NOT APPLY The Old Soldier Got His at the Eighth District Congressional Convention. PARTY IS DIVIDED Speeches Made by Leaders Representing Both Party Factions. DEMOCRATIC NEWS BUREAU. 325 Pythian Building. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The nomination of Rollin Warner, a corporation lawyer of Muncie for congressman by the republicans of the Eighth district, and the struggle between the republicans and the insurgents over the resolutions adopted by the convention, have shed the great white light of truth in places that have heretofore been kept a trifle dusky through denials and subterfuge. The most important development was the open acknowledgement of the republican party that "no old soldiers need apply.” The convention not only turned down Isaiah P. Watts ot Winchester, the candidate of the veterans of the district, but it humiliated him needlessly In the presence of his friends. It is a matter of common knowledge that no one save Mr. Watts desired the nomination. The same heroism which marked his career as a soldier, led him to offer himself as a willing sacrifice to his duty as a good republican: he was ready , and willing to be the standard bearer of his party in the district in the face of certain defeat at the hands of John A. M. Adair. No one else relished the job. There was no other avowed candidate. Mr. Watts was encouraged uni til the very last minute. His friends and comrades were seated upon the stage that they might see honor done to one of their ranks. Then came the name of Warner, and on the first roll-call Watts went down to defeat. Game to the last he was the man to move that the nomination be made unanimous, but in his speech accompanying the motion he made it clear that the old soldiers at last understand their true relation to the republican party—and he sounded a significant warning. Mr. Watts said to the convention : “I believe 1 see by the vote of this

convention so far, that it is not necessary for this convention to have the name of an old soldier on the ticket any longer. J have been with you. I have worked with you here, and my comrades are here to se me nominated, but, they will never see it. On behalf of my comrades who sit here today. I thank you for the taffy and for the talk we have had praising us for the glory that we have done. We have been a political asset in this country for many years, but we are too old to hold office. We are too old for the people to put us iu responsible places. I entered into this fight because my comrades asked me to make the race, as having been a man who was outside the district for four years and was not in any way tangled up with the affairs that had made the district doubtful and given us a democratic congressman. If you have not made a mistake you will carry the victory.” In this speech Mr. Watts served notice that the old soldiers understand the situation at last and sounded a veiled warning The convention was also important because of the leading part played by Winfield T. Durbin of Anderson, former governor of Indiana. Colonel Durbin in a speech praised the old soldiers and then his comity, Madison, cast one-half of its votes against Watts. Colonel Durbin’s name has long been linked with the wing of the party including former Senator Hemenway, James E. Watson and others. He, as well as they, is looked upon as a real republican, and it is known that they have no sympathy for Senator Beveridge and his following. Their attitude was declared to the world in the Eighth district convention. The resolutions committee was evenly divided between the republican and insurgent forces, but Colonel Durbin was on the job and saw that Senator Beveridge didn't get what he wanted in the way of an indorsement. For two hours he struggled in the committee and succeeded in keeping the Beveridge paragraph down to the statement that Beveridge is "clean-handed and broad-minded ” and that his name is “synonymous with victory.” There is absolutely no indorsement of his record or his attitude on the tariff bill. While Colonel Durbin was absent temporarily from the committee room a set of the resolutions was passed in which the Beveridge crowd put a further touch to the Beveridge paragraph. They included the following words

with reference to the senator: 'He is a man who commands the absoluti confidence of all citizens regardless of party." Colonel Durbin knows this isn't true, and zip! hlB >’ encll when ho came back. The sentence went out in a hurry and the resolutions as adopted were minus that brave statement. In the convention Cokmel Durbin pleaded for party harmony and asked the opposing factions to get together—under the real republican banner, that of the old guard. Frank Snyder of Portland, who announced himself as an insurgent, pleaded for party harmony and asked the opposing factions to get together under the banner of insurgency. And there you are. That's the way it wound up, with each asking the other to come in out of the wet. ( olone Durbin was temporary chairman and Mr. Snyder permanent chairman ot the convention. The nominee, Mr. Warner, is the former law partner of Arthur M. Brady, former president of the Indiana Union Traction company. Mr. Warner represents the company in Delaware county and did so during the labor troubles and strikes that have distressed the county. He is regarded as a corporation man. The resolutions adopted by the convention declare faith in and allegiance to the principles of protection, but the Payne tariff bill is not mentioned byname. The convention endorsed the old democratic doctrine of revising the tariff by separate bills instead of as a whole. o— A LONG MINISTRY Rev. Martin Fuelling Born and Reared in This County Serves For OVER TWENTY YEARS Pastor of Emmaus Church in Chicago—Son Will Also be Minister.

Rev. Martin Fuelling, born and reared in this county, but who for the past twenty-five years has been a Lutheran minister, serving in Chicago, with his family have been visiting for some time with Jacob Fueling in Root township, and with their many other relatives. Rev. Fuelling has met with much success in his work in the ministry, as the fact that for the past twenty-three years he has been pastor of the Emmaus Lutheran church in Chicago will testify. His son, Clamor, has decided to follow in his father's footsteps by entering the ministry, and on next Wednesday will enter the Concordia Lutheran college at Fort Wayne to prepare himself for the ministry. Mrs. Fuelling left today for their home in Chicago, but the Rev. Fuelling will remain for a longer visit. AT THE BOSSE OPERA HOUSE. During Fair Week—Monday is Ladies’ Night—New Play Each Night. Monday night the Imperial Stock company will present the well known southern drama, "A Daughter of the South.” This is a powerful southern drama telling a beautiful story combining humor, pathos, heart interest and thrilling realism.

SOCIETY DOINGS Mrs. Schrock Attends HomeComing Reception For Dr. and Mrs. O. Smith. A LINEN SHOWER Given For Miss Mutchler a Delightful Social Affair —Other Notes. A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in, A minute to smile and an hour to weep in, A pint of joy to a peck of trouble, And never a laugh but the moans come double. And that is life! A crust and a comer by love made precious. With the smile to warm and the tears to refresh us, And the joys are sweeter when sorrows come after, And a moan is the best of foils for laughter: And that is life! —Paul Lawrence Dunbar. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Friday. Thimble Club —Mrs. Jesse Sellemeyer. Miss Emma Mutchler, whose marriage to Rev. Edward Worthman of Wisconsin will take place September 29th, was the guest of honor at a party and linen shower given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Fred Feppert. The Reppert home on Third street was made more beautiful for the occasion with its decorations of white and green, tastefully arranged. Green and white crepe paper streamers were festooned from chandeliers and draped in archways, while great white paper bells, signifying the approaching wedding bells, were suspended everywhere. The linen shower which was a lavish expression of the esteem of her friends, was given Miss Emma in a unique way. A little expresswagon, tastefully trimmed in green and white, was sitting without the house, and to this the bride-elect was led, with instructions to draw it into the house, where the gifts, which were tied within dainty wrappings, making a precious burden for the wagon, were unloaded, and after being unwrapped by the bridfe-to-be, placed upon a table in the center of the room. An original little contest proved to be quite amusing. Each guest was asked to draw a picture of the bride as she would appear just before the ceremony. Mrs. Isadore Kalver secured the prize for the best drawing. A number of impersonations, representing the manner in which the congregation in Wisconsin would greet their minister's new wife, were given by the following, who were dressed to represent the different characters and which they enacted to perfection: Miss Della Sellemeyer, a stylish lady: Miss Esther Sellemeyer, an elderly maiden lady; Mrs. C. Vogt, an elderly “low-German'' lady; Mrs. Kalver, a German lady of broken English accent. A tempting supper was served in the dining room at 5 o’clock, the table decorations and menu further carrying out the color scheme of white and green. The hostess was assisted in serving by Miss Esther Sellemeyer. Miss Eleanor Reppert arrived at the dignity of six years today and in honor of the event, entertained a number of her young friends at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Reppert this afternoon. The little playmates arrived at 3 o'clock and from that on the Reppert home rang with the jollity and mirth that is at its highest only with the little folks. Those sharing the afternoon with Miss Eleanor were Ella Bultemeier, Fay and Naomi Stultz, Bertha Fledderjohann. Hazel and Anola Hoffstetter, Doris Erwin and Leo Kirsch. The Christian Woman's Board of Missions held an unusually interesting meeting yesterday at the home of Mrs. Arthur Fisher, inasmuch as this was the time for the annual election of officers and the planning for the newyear’s work. The lesson study was carried out as published. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Mary Artman; vice president, Mrs. Percy- Williams; secretary. Mrs. E. H. Shoemaker; treasurer, Mrs. Arthur Fisher. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the business period. A happy gathering took place Thursday evening at the home of Ed Rumschlag, south of the city, when a number of city folks amt friends in the near vicinity of the home assembled for an evening’s entertainment, which (Continue cron page 4.)
