Entered at the Postolttce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter.

E. G. Hoffman, national committeeman from Indiana, made good and the boys who fight in the political trenches here need have no fear but that the old Hoosier state will be splendidly taken care of all the time. Mr. Hoffman was one of the leading figures at the convention, doing important work at the national headquarters and doing it in his smilingly, courteous, kindly, happy way. We’d say he made good. The democratic national convention provided no surprises in the nomination of Wilson and Marshall. No others had a chance, but there were many inspiring scenes, many tense moments and many exciting incidents during the week. The wonderful speeches of Governor Glynn, Ollie James, W. J. Bryan, Senator Heed, and others were events that filled one with new thoughts concerning the issues, renewed their patriotism and brought forth demonstrations that one seldom has the opportunity to witness. St. Louis is some convention city and the delegates and others who attended the democratic meeting there' last week are willing to swear to that fact. The boys from Indiana are deeply indebted to the Indiana Society, of which live organization by the way, C. M. Simcoke, a former Decatur resident, is a member, serving on the various committees and assisting in making the week a never-to-be-forgotten one. They did a marvelous piece of reception and entertainment work, taking care of the visitors in a manner that left no doubt in the minds of any one that they were glad the fifty thousand democrats had come to St. Louis. They provided a thirty-five mile boat down the Mississippi, an automobile drive over the city, a trip to the ball game and gave a delightful banquet at the tea room of the world’s greatest store. They were cordial and polite and seemed' to derive much pleasure from the opportunity. We feel that the visitors owe a debt of deep gratitude to the people of the southwestern metropolis who so unselfishly and lavishly provided entertainment for them.

Edwin M. Lee, chairman of the progressive party In Indiana, predicts in an interview published in the Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday, that this state will go democratic next November by a handsome plurality unless there is a decided change in the political drift, he says: "It looks very much to me now as though the democrats will carry Indiana,” Said Lee. "If the progressives do not have their own ticket, at least three-fourths of them in this state will vote for Wilson. Os course, if they do have their own ticket the republicans cannot win. In case of the nomination of a progressive ticket Wilson will have a plurality if not a majority in Indiana. Lee said that in spite of the efforts to poke fun at the so-called remnant of the progressive party, it is still a strong factor in Indiana" polLics. The progressives were to have nominated their state ticket June 24, but the •convention has been postponed pending the outcome of the national committee June 26. "We want to be in a position to act intelligently,” said Lee. “I don’t know whether or not Roosevelt will accept the presidential nomination. I don't think he knows what he is go,ing to do. “I believe that President Wilson has placed Hughes in a bad hole by having the democratic national convention at St. Louis adopt the strong plank protesting against the activity of hyphenated citizens. This talk that the Germans are going to help Hifghes wil cut both ways in Indiana. “We would have no trouble nominating a strong progressive ticket. Will Ade, brother of George Ade, and W. D. Pierson, New Albany, arc being considered for the gubernatorial nomination.” I DOINGS IN SOCIETY f WEEK’B SOCIAL CALENDAR. Monday. Delta Theta Tau —Leah Hensley. Pythian Sister’s Election. Tuesday.

Ackermann) Berlin, June 19—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The note to President Wilson to Great Britain protesting against seizure of American mails has borne fruit. Saturday, Sunday and today more mail from America reached Germany than has arrived since February. Most of the letters are from four to six weeks old and all bear the big black letters placed upon them in England: “Opened by the censor." Americans here interpret the change as indicative that the allies will be far more lenient in their treatment of mails to and f*»m .Germany than heretofore, but that despite this they will cling to the right to seize and censor.

NUPTIAL VOWS ARE PLIGHTED

(CONTINUED FROM PAGR ONH) had drawn the wide white satin ribbons from the foot of the stairway to the door of the music room, forming an aisle for the wedding proves-! sion. The tour boys were dressed * alike, entirely In white, with suits of white serge. Each wore a buttoniere of lilies of the valley, and made a very handsome appearance. First in the bridal party came the bridegroom’s niece, little Miss Marjorie Hart, of Chicago, as ring bearer. She was a dninty little girl in her smart gown of pink crepe de chine, with its low neck and short sleeves, and the big, pert pink ribbon bow on her hair. She carried a regal tall-stemmed white calla lily, in whose heart of gold nestled the two rings for the double ceremony. The , bride’s zthree sisters were also members of the bridal party. Miss Dor-! othy Dugan, and Miss Sarah Mitchell' of Carbondale, 111., who was a roommate of the bride at Northwestern university. were the bridesmaids. Miss Dorothy was lovely in a gown of fluffy white tulle, while Misk Mitchell wore white taffeta and lace. They

carried immense bouquets of sweet peas, shading in color from white and lavender and pink to the center where the dome-like effect was complete with an orchid. These bouquets were in paper lace cases and were tied with wide pink ribbons. They came from the famed Bohannon floral hcjpse of Chicago, as did the bridal party bouquet. As maid of honor, in her costume of delicate pink. Miss Frances Dugan looked especially lovely. Her dress which was in the 1830 style, was a cloud of white net hung over the pale pink silk. The hoop skirt was looped with tiny bouquets of pink rosebuds and fer-getme-nots, and she carried a great armful of long-stemmed pink roses. In a frock of white dotted net over white silk, with wreaths of pink and blue outlining the low neck and the short "sleeves, and carrying a shepherdess basket of roses, with a moline bow topping the long handle, the flower girl. Miss Helen Dugan, was very pretty. Last, but hot least, on the arm of her father, C. A. Dugan, who gave ,her away, came the bride She made a lovely picture, ideally bride-like in appearance. Being-especially favored by nature, in the beauty of her dark hair and pink and white cheeks, her beauty was further enhanced by the f exquisite wedding gown. -It was of soft shimmering white satin, with ! drapery of tulle, and trimmings of real point lace, in jacket effect. Long white gloves met tire short sleeves and the frock was ent out at the throat to show the bride’s only ornament, which was the gift of the bridegroom—a lavalier, with the pendant a carved rose cameo, set with a diamond, the pendant being on a platinum chain. The long veil of tulle, which was fitted high on her head, with a coronet of orange blossoms, and a pearl band across the forehead. fell to the end of the long train to her frock. Orange blossoms also caught the tulle over-drape of

the gown, while her bouquet was a shower of lilies of the valley and orchids. The bridal party proceeded to the music room, where an altar had been improvised, and where they met the bridegroom and the best man, Mr. James Bethel, of Chicago, who had entered from a side room and stood with tho minister, the Rev. J. C. Danna, pastor of the Presbyterian Church. The altar arrangement was very effective. with the fireplace and mantel, banked with laurel and ferns and roses as a background. Two tall wicker vases filled with the large, exquisite Shawyer pink and white roses, stood in front of the altar, at either side, while lighted tapers, gleaming from the bank of roses on the mantes, heightened the altar effect. The double ‘ring ceremony was used and it was quite lengthy and impressive. During the ceremony the harpist and violinist played lyEspecial mention should be made of the costumes worn by the two ladies in the receiving line. Mrs. Hart’s gown was of white moline and silver, in lovely effect, and her corsage bouquet was of Sweetheart roses. Mrs. Dugan’s gown was of rwhite net and rose colored embroidery effectively combined. All the guests wore especially benutiful evening frocks and the gentlemen ware in full dress suits. A busy hum of congratulation and felicitation followed the ceremony, and during that time, the guests, tn relays of thirty, were ushered into the dining room where a two.-course luncheon was served by a Ft. Wayne caterer. Mrs. Shoemaker, and her bevy of maids. The appointments were lovely and the pink and white were also manifest here. The table conterpie.ee was a combination of swansonia and roses; the smilex cov6|gd dome hooding the lights had rbpes of smilax leading to the cell-

ing, while the inset sideboard and serving table were banked with pink and white snap-dragons. After the luncheon, each guest was presented with a small white satin box of wedding cake, the boxes bearing the gold monograms "D” and "M,” the initials of the bride and groom. At twelve o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Morton left by automobile for Fort Wayne, from which place they left for Lake Ripley, Michigan, where the Mortons have a summer cottage and" where they will spend two weeks.
