CRITTENBERGER The political season is always an open season, and for that reason it is at all times in order to discuss political issues and candidates for political office. The Eighth district is the one district in Indiana that it is ever and always in the thick of the fight, at every state convention, and their influence and power is felt and recognised in every part of the state. It is a great district with a great congressman and the best organized and fight-1 ing democrats to be found any place under the sun. They stand in one' solid phalanx as one organization, and they play the political game with shrewdness, but they play it squarely. The nester of the Eighth district organization is none other than the Hon. j Dale J. Crittenberger, editor of the Anderson Bulletin and Weekly Demo-' crat, one of the best known editors 1 and democrats in the state, and w’hom the Eighth district will present to the next democratic state convention for auditor of state. Mr. Critten- 1 berger is a prime favorite in his own district, and a man and democrat who stands well at home is a safe fellow ' to tie to. Memory fails pearly the oldest inhabitant to name a single district or congressional convention, at j which the guiding hand and presence of Mr. Crittenberger were not noted. This but illustrates his long service► to his party as well as fidelity to his friends. The Eighth district was nev-' er before so alive or in earnest as they are for Mr. Crittenberger in his ambition to be auditor of state. He possesses every qualification of a

' splendid officer, being above all else ( a business man, thorough and competent. The democracy of Indiana could not honor itself more than by honoring Dale J. Crittenberger. That the next : state convention will place their stamp of approval upon his candidacy , we have no doubt. i 11 John Temple Graves is the highest *, priced newspai;?r man in the United I . States and is acknowledged therefore 'to be one of the brightest. Here is , a part of what he has to say of Tom ' Marshall of .Indiana: , "I am setting no little store by .Thomas Marshall, the vice president. “He grows upon the capital and {upon the country in a personality that 1 is set to especial usefulness and tlme--1 liness for this era. “ | “Vice President Marshall is the sav- ■ ing grace of a strenuous administra--1 tion. He Is the only thing that “rests” the country. He is one of the few men I ever met high up in American * -J politics who don’t take themselves too seriously. He Is neither burdened with his mission nor oppressed with bis tremendous responsibility. | “Following a long and ponderous list of Superfluous Excellencies in the senate chair here is a real human being, so natural, so easy, so quaintly, sottly humorous and so homespun kind that he is already kin to all the senate and half the capitol. “Tom Marshall of Indiana thought he “sank into a four years’ silence” i when he said his salutatory on the 4th of March. But was mistaken. He had just begun to talk. The Lord be praised for his sense of humor. I . “The senate is going to be better ’ I and happier for that man. He will get under Wilson's jacket, too, and , Bryan’s, and even the tense, stern ’ Burleson and the rest of them, and make -them glad when the Mexics are 1 fretful and office seekers rage. “There is one office in Washington around which there isn't going to be any friction for the next four years. | “And, mark me, when the time ofi tension comes anywhere else in this administration, there is a reserve power of force, and kindness and tact, that the saving grace of humor in this .Indiana Second Fiddle that will do as much, as the mightiest to reunite

b the chords and re-establish the hari- monies. “The country Is just beginning to t know its vice president. It has a 5 pleasure in store.” t . 1 DOINGS IN SOCIETY 1 Program for Methodist La--1 dies’ Mite Society at the ) C. H.
