Mo There are nutnerus guesses being made as to whether Harry Daugherty ex-attorney general, will be for or against Mr. Coolidge. Chances are, he won’t be as strong as if he had remained and that it won't make much ditference whether he is or isn't When a fellow's out, he's out. All SL Chiefs of the republican party have consented that Mr. Coolidge write his own platform and name his own running mate. That's almost too gen- 1 erous to mean any thing but the belief that there isn't much chance to ' i w in. When it harks good there's al- t ways a scrap and politicians are us- ; tully not so liberal. With a doxen factions inside the party the decision l< almost equal to surrender. Why worry about whether or not any more cabinet officers will be forced to resign? if these officers have clean records they can't be removed and the people won't stand for it. If not. won't the country be better off without them? Why worry? This is the season for floods and tornadoes and witn the start we have we can expect some real weather with high winds during the next few weeks. The spring has been one of the coldest in years and is still far below average but tomorrow is the first day of April and it is probable that the break to sunshine will come soon Let'er come.

Face to Face | With * r Cardinal Hayes From the Lower East Side of New i York City He Became a i Cardinal I i (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 1 Priest, Chancellor, President of ' Cathedral College. Monsignor. Bishop. Archbishop, and now Cardinal —these are the steps in the career of Patrick Joseph Hayes of New York. With George William Mundelein of Chi.-<-ago. he has been created a Cardinal by I’ope Pius XI. Without reference to race or religion it is a source of pride to have two native American citizens become princes of the Catholic Church, following in the footsteps of Richelieu. Woolsey, and Gibbons — the Cardinals, who are titular representatives of the parish churches of Rome. “It is a great honor.” said Cardinal Hayes, "the College or Cardinals is the greatest Senate in the world.” Patrick J. Hayes was born in the shadow of the municipal building toward the lower East Side. "Little Pat Hayes” he was called by his classmates, when he attended school, curiously enough, with Cardinal Mundelein. Except for those years in school, the Cardinal has lived and worked in New York City all his life. When he was five years old both of his parents died, leaving him orphaned. Mrs. Patrick Egan, bis mother's sister, took him into her home- Au a boy he was fond of play anti had very much <he sanv- experiences as any othet ls>y on the lower East Side. As u scholar he was brilliant. He was tvtiring and unassuming, timid, shy. , but always ready for any fun. He , was very popular with the other boys | His determination was early indl- , cated by the squareness of his jaw. . He gtew to like athletics and was j especially fond of baseball, football. , and wrestling. | The Cardinal's first appointment i was as curate in St. Gabriel's Church. 1 Ordination to the priesthood came in , ISM. ami It was soon after that he became assistant to Monsignor Farley. One of his innovations was the , ‘question box." which has since been i adopted in the Church in all parts of . the country. , As Chaplain-General for the Amer-

Cardinal Hayes, then Bishop, visited practically every army and navy camp in America. Pope Benedict XV appointed him Bishop over all American Catholic chaplains with the American army in France. He was ready to sail when the death of Cardinal Farley halted these plans. His elevation to the Archbishopric came at this time In the course of his visits to the cantonments, he arrived in Washington* on one occasion at one o'clock in the morning. His secretary. Father Dineen, was unable to arrange accommodations. due to the crowded conditions, so its was necessary for him to sit up all night on a bench in the station. Some one sympathizi-d with him. to which he replied. "Con sldering what the boys in the trenches are putting up with. I feel I am very I comfortably fixed.” The Cardinal's greatest work hasl probably been his development of I Catholid charities. He was Archbishop of New York for five years, during which time he raised a total of >3,500.000 for his archdiocese. His kindness and sympathetic nature, his quiet and unassuming poise, neverfailing dignitq, are among the 'con •picloqs traits of the new Cardinal He has humility in manner and sim I plicity in taste. There are 1.171 priests in his dio l rese. and he knows them by name.l and in every one a big I brotherly human inlJSst He has al warm place in the hearts of his coreligionists. and holds the respect of the citizens at large.

STRONG REASONS FOR NOMINATION OF CRITTENBERGER

The following letter gives the reasons that Clay W. Metsker, publisher of the Plymouth Democrat.| advances for the nomination of Hon, Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson. for governor by the Democratic party: The Democratic editors of the state arc interested In politics but they are not in sympathy with methods that have prevailed in recent years to enlist campaign contribuions. They arc not in accord with the Daugherty plun of getting huge sums to carry an election at the expense of the government. Tne Democratic editors/ of the state of- Indiana are not oking for a governor who enlists anyone to barter away the government's resources of who unjustly visits taxation upon property for aid either In the primaries or at the electionIf the Democratic organization elects to get behind an aspirant, whose managers interpret party interest and party duty along such lines, it may as well be understood now as later that there is not going to be an avalanche of enthusiasm behind the party press of the statq. Because of these convictions the democratic editors almost to a man have enlisted in the battle to get the endorsement of the democrats of the state for Hon. Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, for governor. They have known him for years; they know of his great interest in the party’s fundamentals, they know of his service as precinct committeeman. a continuous service for a quarter of a ientury: they know of his familiarity with the state's I needs, it's institutions and it's aspir I ations. Mr. Crittenberger has been recognized as a safe guide of the dem oeratic editors for thirty years. He has been a 'builder both in business and in party integrity. He was au ditor of State during the term of Governor Ralston and it was the great vigilance and economy of these two democrats that changed I the financial conditions of the state I fiom an 15.000.000 deficiency to a I surplus on hand when the admin I istrat’on was turned over to their I successors. There was a common feeling existing between Governor Ralston and Auditor Crittenberger that the management of the state's affairs by the republican administration had been, previously to th««ir tiking hold, directed more in the interest of privilege seekers than in the interest of the tax payers of the ■itate. Together these men worked conscientiously to bring about relief to the tax-paying public. Their economy wiped out the debt and ended the interest drain that had been sipping the public. They left office with a record that their follow men approved. There was such a closa alliance ot I honest effort In behalf of th* public [that all familiar with their actlvl I ties recognis' d that they could not I'Ulogize one without eulogizing the I other. Everyone knows tj»< feelings of I confidence that tho then Governor I Ralston and Stale Auditor CrittcnI berger had each for the other. And, I that feeltag has continued aod| I doubtless w ill continue during their j I career. There Is no reason for IMlej IJ. Crittenberger to be nominating, [Senator Ralston for the presidency j Itn all his addresses before public. I gatherings. Everyone knows that Ihe is four-square behind the sens I tor In every aspiration, betause be Ift mn allied experience came to I know that Senator Ralston 1* a de I pcndable public servant. Th" deuHMiauy of th« rUatu of Indiana Is list per cent behind Ben , ator Ralston for the presidency and to u great extent there la almost as determined a disposition to nominate Mr. Crittenberger tar governor. Mr. Crittenberger has announced that h" stands for—(a) The fundamental principle . of home rule. . I lb) The ri-duotton of taxes. (ci The elimination of all uniuo - oaaary Boards and <’’>mml-sk>na. <d> The Improved condition of labor and full protection of women and children In their hours of work and living tondltiona. (e) Th<- sirtugihenina of our clertlon and registration laws to prevent fraud. « (fl The reduction of the cowl of construction and maintenance of our public highways. (gt The repeal of the law exempt Ing publlt Isintls from taxation, th) The onsetment of a law that will fully pruleef the pooglc aaulnwt worthless securities. (I) The eusttmoal of a law that will stop the juggling and transfer ataU) lauds tor pur«vnai u»e I. (j> The euactuieut of a law glv-

Ing to the farmer 00-operatlve marJ keting. i (k) The giving to the state the 1 same contiol over the funds of the | State Board of Agriculture that it has over the funds of other State institutions. (1) The equal representation of women in party organization. uni The repeal of the Public Service Law if it can not be made responsive to the will of the public. (n) The strictest economy in all state administration and the reduction in the number of employees where same does not Interfere with efficient service. (o) The slowing down of public work until the debt of over >201,000.000 is substantially reduced. Mr. Crittenberger is a thorough business man, just the kind of experience that a big enterprise would demand for its head apd directing force. Professional men, whose life work has not identified them with business but have kept their minds upon other matters than pure business are not in the business world looked upon as capable of such efficiency as are men whose lives have been devoted to business problems—and that is why they are not called upon to direct institutions and manage big affairs. Since this is true, what think you of the accuinen that would piompt the people of a great state to call to the helm a man. unschooled in business activity, to direct the business affairs of a commonwealth that has far greater requirements of efficiency than has any b/sinesa enterprise within its borders? Why be less concerned in the experience requirements when we se- ' le< t a governor, who is to be responsible for our institutions ami the problems that effect the welfare of th< people down to the smallest precinits. than we ars in the manage ment of our individual enterprises? The time is near when the democracy is going to call upon someone: capable because of his life work and 1 his experience in state affairs to di i rect us safely, and it is my judgment , that of tha applicants for that res ;>ons!bility, there is none .so well fitted as is Hon. Dale J. Crlttcnher ger. He U not mortdy fitted but he has demonstrated in cooperation with Ex-Governor Ralston that h<has the inclination to lift the bur- : dens from the taxpayers ot the state 1 He should lead in the primaries and . the convention should place its , stamp of approval upon him. Respectfully submitted. W. METSKER. Shelbyville — Police powers have i been conferred on janitors of public '
