It is claimed that though the first cost is much greater than macadam road, the saving in the expense of up keep in a period of twenty years will more than off set that. The Decatur Chatauqua, from August 24th to 30th inclusive, promises to be a very successful event. The week last year was one of the most delightful ever given here and the program for this year will excel that one. Make your arrangments so that you will not miss this big event. Have your friends come. The first subscription for the playground fund is in. It is for twenty-five dollars and came from a former Decatur man. now living out of the city. He is modest and prefers that his name be not used but the subscription is genuine and real. If three or four more would take a similar interest we are sure the necesewy fund could be quickly raised.

GAINS JNFAVOR President Wilson Is Again Proving His Wisdom in the Mexican War Muddle. MOOSERS ARE BUSY Organizing All Over the State in Effort to Boost Cause of Beveridge. Indianapolis, Ind.. June 16—(Special to Doily Democrat)— Sentiment is changing rapidly in favor of President Wilson because of the successful outcome of peace nervations regarding Mexico. A few weeks ago many people were inclined to criticise the President and Secretary of State Bryan because of the policy towards the Mexico factions.

It was predicted by anti-administra tion men that the President had put himself in a hole and *!»■» his party would sun— un that account. But I' I now Mpeswr* Gut there -a de 1 !« •' Ichangi In the situation and that the Irin -.,1 in- terrible xlcun trouble that will help the »n-

uuC.cn and enable this country to get through with out going into a bloody and costly war. It is evident that the national administration is winning another victory and that it is going to help President Wilson and his party. The Progressives have put in a very busy week showing that they are by no means discouraged and that they are going after the Republicans in the coming campaign. A. J. Beveridge, nominee for the Senate and Chairman Toner have attended three big organization conferences. They started the week at Bloomington where the Second district party workers met. From Bloomington Beveridge and Toner went to the Twelfth district and from there to Marion for a conference of the Eleventh district workers. All of the conferences were largely attended. At the Progressive headquart ers the statement was made today that the conferences showed that the party is gaining ground and that plans have been made for a thorough organization and an aggressive campaign. The Progressives seem to have raised funds from some source as they have as many or more at work at their headquarters than either the Republicans or the Democrats. Letters have been sent out by the Progressive leaders stating that Colonel Roosevelt will deliver the ‘opening gun of the campaign' at Pittsburg. June 30. He is to get into the fight immediately after his return from Europe. The tone of the letters now being sent out by the Progressive leaders indicates that they have a thorough understanding with the Colonel and that he has no Intention of joining the Republican party in support of fusion candidates in New York or elsewhere.

Tlie conference at Bloomington last ’ week to discuss the present state con--1 stitution and the needs of a new one * did not develop any organized move- ? ment to bring about a constitutional convention. There was plenty of talk but no organisation. Most of the speakers favored a constitutional convention yet there were convincing ar- ’ guinents on the other side. 1 Beveridge maintained that a new constitution is needed sc that the state can have the initiative, referendum and recall. Hugh Th. Miller Republi can nominate for senators: ’ jvors the holding a constitution . vxm iition but his speech was eolor.css. There 1 was less talk about state-wide prohibi- ’ tlon than expected and not as much re- . garding woman's suffrage as the situation seemed to warrant in view of the efforts of the women to obtain a con- | stitutlonal amendment to give them I the right to vote. The cause of woman's suffrage has , received a boost within the present ) week from two well known Indiana , men. Lieutenant Governor O’Neill, delivering the annual address a* i.e commencement at St, Mary'r 1 Woods ! college went on recon u favoring votes for women. He maintained that suffrage for women is coining. He took , the view that women will be a great force in elections at which moral ques- , lions are at issue. Former Vice-President Fairbanks speaking at the Now Harmony centennial also came out for woman's suffrage His remarks were very encouraging to the women who wero leading the cause. At the conference in Bloomington to discuss the demand for a constitutional convention several speakers urged the adoption of a new eonstitujtion in order that suffrage may be ex-

tended to the women. Th* latter are arranging to ma*’’ B I Ii t* fight to.' » eo**tituita«* t-* l ’*® j t lon. Edwin M !<**. who w*« rhairmsn <d.
