CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE or command the situation to the extent of virtually naming the notnJnee. There is good logic in all this. Ttc booms of Governor Harmon of Ohio, j Di\ of New York, as well at that o. Mayor Gaynor, have . already been more or less slightly punctured.' E* Governor Folk is heard of hut little in connection with the presidency, i and this leaves but Marshall, Wilson and Champ Clark who are figuring to any extent with the presidential j builders of the national democracy, j But there will be a real live fight for j the nomination, more so because of. the fact that the political trend is yet i toward the democracy and the one who wins the nomination has more than an even chance for election to the highest place within the gift of j the American people. Since the Hon. Thomas Taggart an-, nounced his retirement from leader-j ship in the Indiana democracy and j stated that he would not seek the' place of national committeeman again | there has been more or less quiet, speculation as to who would fill this! important place. The eyes of many j have turned toward Congressman j Lincoln Dixon. The argument advanc-

ed in his behalf is that he is a leader i in congress, a member of the ways j and means committee, and that national politics is played more from I Washington than from Indiana, all of which makes his selection logical, in addition, it is urged that his selection would not smack of factionalism ! and would clearly indicate that the ! Indiana democracy is united. The standpatters are fast coming into their own in this state. President Taft is putting on a bold front, about his own independence in regard to Indiana patronage, but it always; terminates in the standpatter? get- j ting their recommendations across, | while Senator Beveridge and his i friends get the consolation prizes, ail’ of w hich is done in the name of the I

independence of the president. Great is independence, so say the standpatters. One instance is the appointment of Mote as postmaster at Union City,' on the recommendation of Senator' Beveridge. The appointment was' made and confirmed by the senat>',| but his commission has not yet been signed by the president, all because the standpatters have no love fcMote. Ij- G.

Suggestions of the approaching Eastertide were manifest at the entertainment of the Orient club Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. D. Lewton on North Second street. First of all there was an Easter egg hunt, and many were the bright candy eggs brought forth from their hiding places. To Mrs. W. R. Dorwin fell the honors for finding the greatest number, while Mrs. I. Kalver carried ofT the booby ..prize. Luncheon wa - enjoyed in the dining room, served buffet style, from the table in the center of the room, the table being very pretty in its decorations of yellow. Yellow-hooded candles stood guard at the corners, and this dainty eolor was also carried out in the menu. The club ladles will entertain their husbands at a 6 o’clock dinner next Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. W. R. Dorwin.

The Needleeraft club girls, with Miss Edith Beery of near Peterson as a guest, were royally entertained last ( evening by Miss Sue Mayer. Sewing was laid aside after a period, for the i interesting contest in which the last 5 words of .rhyming couplets were given, the rest to be supplied, making a poem. These were then read and created much amusement. There was also music, and luncheon, tempting, and served in two courses, was a pleasing item of the entertainment. Miss Fancbon Magley will be hostess at the next Thursday evening meeting.

Thirty-one attended the Evangelical Ladies’ Aid at the home of Mrs. J.F. Laehot, where they spent Thursday afternoon in a delightful way, after the business period, in which plans were made for doing some quilting for the society. The collection for the month amounted to the good sum or $27.31. Mrs. J. Yager of Mercer avenue, entertained the Haptist Ladies’ Aid society Thursday afternoon in a pleasant way. The attendance numbered fifteen and the collection amounted to the sum of $3.50. In July a tent evangelistic meeting will be held, the Roy. Ehle to be assisted by a well known evangelist, and plans for this were also discussed. On account of a delay in securing jnaterial for their work, the United Brethren Ladies' Aid society which was to have held an all-day meeting with Mrs. Blanche Elsey yesterday, postponed this session. Miss Agnes Krlck entertained the members of the Embroider club at their usual regular meoting last ev!enlng, where sewing, contests, music and a luncheon contributed to the good time.
