STILL IN CONTROL:— Here is a special dispatch printed by the Indianapolis News in its issue of June 24th, 1912, under date i from Chicago. Note the persons who ! did ‘the real business" in that convention. "In the republican national convcn-, tion at Chicago just closed. Indiana was much in the lime light, now only, because of the host of Indiana persons present as guests, assistant sargeants at arms, doorkeepers and so on. but because of the important part played by Indianians in the real business of rhe convention. “Charles W Fairbanks was chair-1 man of the committee on Resolutions, James E. Watson, of Rushville, was ■ floor leader for the regulars and was ' in evidence every minute. James A. i Hemenway was the Indiana member j of the committee on Credentials and i made one of the most effective speech-■ es of the convention in the mater of. the contested delegates Harry S. I New. the outgoing national committeeman from Indiana, was chairman of the sub-committee of the National convention that made the arrangementfor the convention. Edward L. Thayer, of Greenfield, was first assistant sargeant at arms with plenty to do. Joseph B. Kealing. though not an officer of the convention or a member of any of the committes or even a delegate, was next to Mr. McKinley, the prinicpal manager of the Tait campaign, and on all sides there were expressions of commendation for his excellent work." For the present addresses of all these distinguished gentlemen Indiana progressives are respectively referred to the Indiana senatorial and state ticket and the managing board named by Candidate Hughes to conduct his campaign. Candidate Hughes has not registered or voted since 1910, certainly not a very good record for a citizen of the United States, and especially for one who now seems to have suddenly been stricken with a desire to become the leadng citizen. The selection of Dr. J. M. Miiler to succeed L. L. Baumgartner as a member of the cty council will prove satisfactory to the citizens of Decatur. He is a man of excellent judgment, a long experience in public life, has the best interests of the community at heart and will give a good account of himself when his record is checked up. Mr. Emerson Beavers. — —

1 whose name was also presented, is likewise a man of unquestioned abll1 Ity and that fact was recognized aplArenlly as it required the vota of the mayor to decide the election. : Mr. Hughes is making a consider , able noise over the fact that several republicans have been removed from office under the Wilson administration We do not believe that a single man .has been removed except for cause hut even so, we would like to ask the distinguished candidate liow many democrats held positions during the sixteen years of republican control!, lit is a wejl know fact that a democrat | could not even land a place as a rural carrier except about once out if a hundred times, and the same condition will very probably occur again , if the partisan Judge Hughes should happen to be elected. Adams county should send a dele gation of five hundred or more to the j democratic opening of the campaign to be held at Fort Wayne Saturday afternoon and evening of next week. i At that time John A. M Adair wi,< has represented this district in congress for ten years past will make his keynote speech as a candidate for governor and from that time on until election day he will make a continuious campaign, speaking in every section of Indiana. Tho Fort Wayne | meeting will be one of the big ones t and this banner county of the state ■ should bring home the bacon for havi ing the largest number of outside j boosters. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY J a nr.
