They know that during the year 1905 and the two succeeding years under the administration of .Mr. Hanly the sinking fund of three cents was transferred in its entirety to the state general fund, thus providing a million and a half dollars for payment of current expenses of the extravagant republican admints tration. They know. too. that every dollar of the state bonded debt paid in the last twenty years was paid under the demacratic administration, and that the state tax rate has been reduced one and a half cents, saving the taxpayers many thousands of dollars, yet for the sake of winning they will misrepresent these facts and tell the voters of Indiana a lot of things that they know cannot be proven. They I are grabbing at straws. ■" 11 — 1 The republican press agents are now overworking the reports about the great throng of progressives who are coming back to the fold. Within the past few days newspapers have been giving this sort of news very prominent positions. The wish is father to the thought and republicans would like to believe that all of the press agents’ “dope” Is true. However, as they look about them in their own localities they cannot see deser tious in the progressive ranks that tile press agents delight in telling about. In fact, the progressive party in every county is about as strong in numbers and influence as it was two years ago. It Is so in Blackford county and it is almost certain that the progressives will make their local organisation stronger than it was in the last campaign and nominate complete county and township tickets. And Beveridge and the other leaders of the progressive party in Indiana will soon be on hand to assist in organization work in every county. If theta is as much lassitude in the bull moose party as tlie republicans say there is, it is strange that it cau not be detected "with, the naked eye.”—Hartford City News. One of the questions which will be settled this year and one sure to attract much attention is that of tlie new state const it utiton. At the regular election next fall the people of Indi ana will declaro by ballot whether or

[• not they want a constitutional coji- - vention. There has beeu more or less talk and argument on this question r for some years. , Governor Marshall V tried to give tlie state a constitution j new and modern without the cost of a convention but the courts held the plan hud, and the last legislature decided to leeru tlie desire of the people B by a vote. There is much to be dis- [) A cussed and thought of on either side j and it is safe to predict that every i phase of the question will be coro- | pletely analyzed before election day.j The temperance forces favor the con-‘ vention and will make an organized and determined effort to secure it and with It statewide prohibition; the suffragettes are strongly in favor of the proposed convention as are those who favor many new ideas, the recall, the referendum and the thousand and one otiier laws permissible only under a state constitution which would provide for them. Many of these are good, and many will be strongly opposed, not only by those interested one way or the other, but also by those who are opposed to new laws which would mean an increased cast to enforce and consequently an increased tax rate. The convention would cost icveral hundred thousand dollars and it’s a question whether or not this would be money su'ed or money foolishly spent. It is important that every voter and every tax- ] payer should begin to study the ques- 1 lion, that they may know when next 1 November comes whether they really ’ favor the p roposed convention or not. ] — ( DOINGS IN SOCIETY fi 9 ■ I 3®aow:cc2C2zc3aßaiasK:saaK? j 1 CLUB CALENDAR.
