The democratic county central com mittee will meet tomorrow morning at 1 headquarters in this city to select the v. nlons and to transactSHßDmulCM ! delegates to the state and congressional convent! :•> ..nd to transit-1 tore them. We wish every reader of the Daily j Itemocrat would carefully study the speech of State Auditor O’Brien.! which was delivered at the editors'* banquet last week, and which appears In today's Issue. So many mis-state- j nients have been made concerning the, real facts about state finances that this positive setting down of condi tions should Im* of interest to every i taxpayer and every voter of Indiana. There is not a mail order house or traveling solicitors that cau compc-ie with the home merchant. This is in-, deed a broad statemeut. but it can be; backed up by actual figures. Traveling solicitors always present a most 1 plausible story, but the story will not, bear careful Investigation. Take a few years ago, a traveling solicitor 1 canvassed Hutingfon county Helling I cloth for a suit of cloth -s.

I MARION LEONARD IN ”A LEAF IN THE STORM" AT LYRIC.| Miss Marion lamnard, the great , emotional actress, wil be seen at tin* Lyric today in "A Ix*af in the Storm." This is a powerful dramatic story, strong and logical in its plot,, vivid in its contrasts of lite running the ! whole gamut of the emotions. It < pens in a New York tenement where Miss Leonard is living in hopes of , finding the means to support herself ! and little baby. A month before, her ! husband had been killed in a mine I accident and Miss I ■ >nard sought the I city, leaving her child in the care of I a neighbor. She is aroused by a knock !on the door. A young man of the I underworld.* struck with her beauty. : has followed her home. He tells her 1 where she lean secure work. When I lie offers her money to pay for a new 1 dress, she understands and drives ! him from her home. Another knock. It is her landlord. She must pay her ' rent in the morning. Her eyes fall on the card left by the “Cadet.” That } night she appeared at the dance hall. I Once within, her soul revolts. The I “cadet” endeavors to restrain her. but the proprietor ejects him. At this ■ moment a woman in evening dress arrives on a slumming tour. There is 1 1 a pistol duel between two gangsters] I and the woman is injured, hut not se-| riously. She confides in Miss ■ ! ard that site is married to a young i Eng)i*hman, heir to his father’s for- j tune, and is on her way abroed. She > engages Miss as nurse com-: ; panion. On board the ship the wo- ! man proves to be a drunkard. A storm arises. The life-boats are wrecked. The two wutuea arc washed ashore on a desert island and are 1 sheltered by a sailor, himself a vic ] ! tint of a previous shipwreck. The : sailor and the Englishman’s wife be ] gin a drunken carous on rum that has I washed ashore. Miss fails to arouse them from their stupor when a sailing vessel comes to take them I off. Swiftly she gathers the woman's proofs together, exchang *8 wedding ! rings and a mouth later kinds in Eng- ! !?.nd and Is accepted as the son's wife.' 1 After a time the true wife appears j ! but is turned away. In the moment ■ ’ of her triumph she realize* the futility of it all and leaving a note of coufes-, sion, disappears. A nephew, who has [ fallen in love with her. follows her to! {America.
