Republicans in Indiana will hold their state convention this week, opening tomorrow at Cadle Tabernacle. Democrats will meet next Monday and Tuesday. After the adoption of platforms and the selection of candidates for the various offices, politics will quiet down until fall and then it is expected will come a regular, old fashioned, -hand-to-hand struggle. Tlie democrats are hopeful and with promises from every section of the state for genuine support look like the favorites at this time. , Tlie senate and house last evening voted to pass the SpanishAmerican war pension increase President Hoover's veto and it was one of the most decisive repudiations ever recorded in this country, showing again the lack of leadership in Washington. The bill as passed carries an eleven million dollar appropriation. It is reported that the folks at the White House refused to believe early reports of the vote but they are perhaps aware by this time that something has really happened.

Street presents an editorial which is as sharply critical of the pending tariff bill as anything that Senator Moses' "sons of wild packasses” have ever said. The editorial begins by asserting that a policy of protection was needed by this country throuhout the early part of its existence; but it adds that times have changed so that proection is not the boon it once was. “We have had free trade on a continental scale, despite the tariff barrier at the boundaries,” says the magazine. “Now we require, not free trade, but greater freedom of trade board. The policy that was good for 100 years will be a handicap in the future. “The new tariff will be recorded later as an act of folly—obstrutcive to , foreign trade and contrary to , manifest destiny.”—Wabash Plain .

CANNON STAYS WITH DECISION Refuses to Talk on AntiSmith Work In 1928 Campaign Washington, June 4. —(U.R) — Bishop James Cannon. Jr., prohibition leader in the Methodiqi Episcopal Church, South, persisted today in his refusal to divulge his anti-Smith activities in the 1928 presidential campaign. The examiner, Senator Thomas J Walsh, Dem., Mont., noted that a quorum was not present, told Cannon the committee could not proceed at this time and terminated his line of inquiry. Walsh warned the bishop his refusal might be considered a penal offense. Cannon replied he realized that, but must insist “on my rights as an American citizen.” Tlie bishop claimed the support of the absent Chairman Caraway of the committee in his refusal to answer questions. He made a statement to the committee concluding; “I consider such an assumption of authority by any committee of the senate or house as an intolerable infringement upon the rights of American citizens.” At the opening of today's hearing. the committee, still lacking a quorum, proceeded with its questioning after Walsh had commented privately tjiat he did not regard the absence of a subpoena as important. This had been referred to by Caraway in his statement at Little Rock. The bishop asked permission to make a statement concerning his use of $303 of the funds of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Social Service. This was used to call the Ashville, N.C., conference in 1928 to plan the campaign against Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential candidate. Cannon's explanation much the same as yesterday's was that no money changed hands, that he was charged with that amount due the board and that he paid it by circulating a speech “Prohibition Repeal Unthinkable.’’ The money for the payment was advanced by the anti-Smith Democrats of Virginia

and the explanation was so complicated Walsh finally dropped Hie subject, saying he could not understand it.
