Mar- ‘ shall will seek the nomination for the presidency, and this will be cheering news to the democrats of Indiana. His declaration was all that was needed to make the rank and file of the party in the state take up his cause. There will be no question that Indiana will send a united and enthusiastic delegation to the national convention. Gov- ; eraor Marshall's course as chief executive of the state has shown him to be a democrat of the true Jeffersonian type. That he is made of suitable timber to fill the office of nation'3 chief executive and conduct the office in the interest «»' the whole people is not disputed by ‘hose who have watch- ' ed his course since coming to the governor's chair. He is of the stuff which makes an official do his whole duty, unfailing and sternly, as he sees it— ' Hammond Daily News. Amidst scenes that are said to have rivaled that of a national convention for enthusiasm. Congressman Underwood. democratic leader of the house, Wednesday defended himself against charges said to nave been made by I W. J. Bryan, that he had defeated a a revision of the steel schedule, over ; the protest of Speaker Clark. So far j as any personal controversy between Mr. Underwood and Mr. Bryan, the people will have but passing interest. ( but it is good to hear a man defend his actions and prove his honesty when he holds the position of Mr. Underwood, and when it is known that his personal interests are affected. Mr. Underwood showed that he had repeatedly urged the ways and means committee to take up the steel schedule but was overruled by the committee. He had ( done so, he said, because he knew he , would otherwise be subject to criti- j cism. He was cheered at various in tervals. However, it should be remembered that Mr. Bryan acted in good faith and as always had at heart the interests of the people in general. INDICTED BANKER DEAD. (United Press Service.)

A walkout of thirteen linemen emj ployed by the city of Fort Wayne in J the municipal department occurred, I yesterday morning, when the men refused to work any longer for the Beale | of wages now in effect. The men sim- 1 ply refused to report for duty at the usual time, giving as their reason the j failure of the board of public works to make a reply to their demands for increases by August Ist. The scale under which the men had I been working is the same as that paid j by the Fort Wayne & Northern Indiana Traction company, the Home and i Bell Telephone companies, but none | of these corporations experienced any j trouble with their men, although all I had been served several weeks ago with requests for increases. The city men want a decided in- 1 crease in pay, time and a half for over-1 time and double time for Sundays,; concessions that none of the local cor- j porations employing linemen have | made. "I beard this morning that the men j declined to go to work and 1 simply | told Mr. Dix to let them stay at home \ if they wanted to," Chairman Benoy.! of the board of works, said this morn- j ing. “We have had no meeting as yet ! and I am not in a position to say I what we shall do.” The linemen are affiliated with the j International Brotherhood of Electric-' al Workers. John Kinner, Tom Flem- j ing and Dan Mullen have been appoint- j ed to act as a committee to confer j with the board of works. EXPENDITURES AND TAX LEVIES FOR THE YEAR 1912.
