Grand Foreman William Koch of Des Moines, lowa, will be here tonight and an open session, to which the public is invited, will be held this evening from 8 to 9 o’clock. Indianapolis Ind., June 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Presidential politics is widening the breach between the two factions of the republican par-

ty in Indiana. It now seems that by I /he time the campaign of 1912 is on, 1 the two factions will be known as t "Taft” and "Antl-Taft." The standpat- 1 ters will be found in the organization 1 supporting the president's aspirations 1 to succeed himself and Albert Jere- t miah Beveridge, with his Insurgent | ‘ forces, will attempt to bring about the 1 1 election of delegates opposed to Taft, t With no other purpose in view than t that of getting revenge, it Is said that 1 the Beveridge faithful will fight the J president to the last ditch in the re- r publican national convention —provld- ; s ed the Beveridge men get a look-in 1 when that body meets. The insurgents 1 of Indiana are planning to start a < Roosevelt-for- president movement E with the hope of obtaining delegates s upon the waning popularity of the lion-, t hunting president. Once Beveridge t gets control of a handful of Indiana t delegates, it it' predicted he will throw 1 £ his supiKirt in the national convention ( t to Senator LaFollette. These well- g laid plans of the insurgent forces of j this state are. of course, no more than ] just plans. As a matter of fact politi-' £ cal prophets here expect the reaction- t aries, with the force of the federal ma- t chine behind them, to gain control of t the state organization. The best or-' j ganizers of the party are known to be ] with the standpatters and they are al- , ready laying their lines to get control ( of affairs. While the Beveridge state I ( committee has been recovering from ] the shock received in the last election, ] the standpatters, who so obligingly ( kept in the background on that mem- ', orable occasion, have been at work. , The Fairbanks-Hemenway-Durbin men j point warningly to the result of the ] “didos’’ cut by the Beveridgeites in the last campaign. Few of the republicans ] seem hopeful of success in the next election and most of their plans are 1 apparently to gain control of the or- 1 ganization. Meanwhile, State Chairman Edwin Lee, who previous to the last cam- 1 paign, was unknown to state politics. 1 sits on the lid of the state committee. 1 Lee is still chairman, and he refuses 1 to subside, even though the campaign is many months past. Os late he has ' been touring the state playing the role ' of the dove of peace but it is under- 1 stood that his mission was singularly ■ unsuccessful. Although an attempt ' has been made recently to give out the impression that Lee is not worshipping at the shrine of Beveridge 1 as of yore, the very fact that he is still clinging tenaciously to the chair- 1 manship disproves the report. There ' can be but one interpretation of Lee’s I action and that is an attempt by Bev- 1 eridge to maintain control of the state organization by the very simple methof of not letting go of it. The recent meeting of the republican members of the last legislator?,' for the purpose of promoting harmony. l ! caused a broad smile here. The leaders of both parties are still smiling at the presumtion of the solons, who sucI ceeded In making a general mess of things during the last legislature. There were few real leaders among the legislators and when once the radical insurgents, standpatters and statei wide prohibitionists got into action. I the meeting resembled more a curb-1 ' stone dog-fight than a harmony fest. { The republicans seem to be suffering from a lack of issues for the coming campaign. They started off with a whoop on the proposed new constitution and were doing fairly well when 1 they stuck the party’s foot down its throat by starting a suit to determine the validity of the method by which the proposed constitution is being submitted to the people. As matters stand now, the new constitution will either receive the endorsement of the supreme court or be thrown entirely out of the campaign by that judicial ■ body. In either case the republicans lose their thunder. Although the republicans do not admit it, their chief opposition to the proposed new constitution Is known to be based upon the fact that it would prevent the illegal voting of foreigners. In the past the “Grand Old Party” has been accustom-1 ed to reckon with the “hinky" vote as one of its regular assets. F. B. TAGUE QUITTING BUSINESS. I F. B. Tague, formerly the shoe merchant of this city, who several months ago opened a shoe store on Calhoun street, Fort Wayne, will quit business; there. He has sold the lease, furniture and fixtures to Miss Lillith Gaskill for a millinery establishment. - -o— ——- Indianapolis, Ind., June 13 —(Special ■ to Daily Democrat) —Although the j next election is months away there is j already evidence of attempts to wrest, j control of public affairs in this state j away from the democratic party. The forces at work to accomplish this end are the republican press, particularly the leading republican newspapers of the state, and W. C. Liller, the mysterious “what-is-it,” who has tried to attach himself to one presidential boom, attempted to start another and, after his second fiasco, is now, or rather was, recently attempting to split the Indiana delegation to the national convention. The republican press and

Liller now seem.to be working hand in hand. Liller gets the publicity upon which his soul delights and the repub (lean newspapers are given some basis upon which to build wild political stories calculated to stir up dissention In the democratic fold. Mr. Liller, or “Col. Liller,” to be more exact, first broke into print by attempting to attach himself to the Marshall presidential boom. He claims the honor of being the first to spread broadcast the Marshall buttons. Some unknown reason later caused the “colonel” to shift his affections and he next broke loose in the Democratic Achievement banquet, at which great care was taken to play up Governor Woodrow' Wilson as a head-liner. Again Liller was seized with the “Buttonitis" and Senator John W. Kern was made the victim of his activity. Despite the protests of the junior senator from Indiana, the Kern buttons went forth, although no one ever noted such a sweeping abundance of them as the republican press discovered. Senator Kern was annoyed and then angered and finally succeeded in squelching the so-called boom. It was then written that Liller is reported to have written to a democrat in this city and admitted that although he had previously been for Kern for president that he was now convinced that the boom was exploded, or words to that effect, and that he (Liller) was now for Wilson. His have finally landed him upon the proper band wagon, aad his recent attempts to split the Indiana delegation have been laid bare. The Indiana Democratic Editorial association in its session at Laporte attended to that pretty thoroughly. Now that the republican press has been robbed of the so-called “Kern boom" as campaign material, it is training its guns upon the proposed new constitution and by attacks upon the governor, attempting to belittle the proposed changes in the organic law of the state. The republican state committee, more commonly known as the "Beveridge state committee." which refuses to take a summer vacation for fear that the standpatters will I slip during its absence, is also attempti ing to fool the people through the . press. The latest outbreak was a letter. signed by a fictitious name and purporting to be from a democrat, in which a bitter attack is made, upon Governor Marshall for his pardon of a ! life convict, who has been on parole for several years and is seeking admittance to the bar. This is certainly the open season for peanut politics in Indianapolis and all the peanut politicians are busy. --" —— ... A fire at South Whitley last week destroyed property interests of J. W. 1 Vail of this city. The South Whitlev dispatch gives the following account: 'Fire visited the town of South Whitley Thursday evening about 7:30 o’clock, and as a result the South Whitley Hoop mill and the A. T. Vail Cooperage mill were completely destroyed and the loss sustained to the owners, J. W. Vail of Decatur and A. T. Vail of Fort Wayne will reach close to SIO,OOO The fire was discovered ' by the nightwatchman, who immediately turned in the alarm, but before the fire department could respond the buildings were a mass of flames and the firemen devoted their time to saving the stock that was piled upon the mill yard. The buildings were reduced to a mass of ruins. This is the third fire that has visited these mills within the past four years. This will be a severe loss to South Whitley, as these two institutions were among the best that the town had and today there are seventy-five men out of work. The mills will not be rebuilt. The loss will amount to $10,000." o A large number of the lawyers and citizens are at Fort Wayne today at-! tendin' the trial of the case of Miss, Hattie Studebaker and the school board lor the vacation of the alley between the Studebaker property on Third street and the Central school house, which vas called in the Allen superior court today. It will be remembered tha' this case was brought for the vacation of the alley, It being the intention of the school board to build the new high school building on the Studebaker lot and that of the central school house, extending the same across what is now the alley in case it can be vacated. A number of residents in that vicinity are numbered among the remonstrators who are fighting the case against the vacation. Among those who went to Fort Wayne Ulis morning were D. B. Erwin, D. E. Smith, C. L. Walters, P. G. Hooper, C. J. Lutz, F. V. Mills, A. H. Sellemeyer, O. L. Vance, County Recorder H. S. SHeele, Oscar Hoffman, Dr. and Mrs. P. B. Thomas, Mrs. R. B. Gregory, Charles Christen and others. The case will probably last a day or two. While hunting a horse which had strayed Harry Studebaker, a well ~Obi 1 (Iron Cry FOR PLETCHFR’S O ASTORIA

known Bluffton man, accidentally discovered a counterfeiter at work in a temporary den built on the banks of the Wabash river, a few miles north of town. The Bluffton Banner says: “A search for one of his horses, which had strayed away during the morning, led Mr. Studebaker directly into the camp of the counterfeiter, but before he learned the fellow's business, “Studie" asked him for a cigarette, a package of which had been dropped on the ground. The fellow answered him with a “certainly,” and when Studebaker started to take a light from the fire the fellow handed him a match and said, "don’t take that fire." During the conversation Studebaker did not take a view of his surroundings, but being alarmed by the stranger keeping his back to him he glanced around the fire and was startled by the sight of a number of quar-te-s, fresh from the "mint.” At a second glace "Studie” saw a number of plaster paris molds and more money in the process of making. Thinking the counterfeiter might “start something’’ if lie remained about tho place, Mr. Studebaker continued the search for his horse. He said last night that he thought of calling the police at once and telling them of the discovery, but being busy about the farm during the afternoon caused him to delay telling any one until last night ” Later it was found that the man was making slugs with 'which to play slot machines and electric pianos, and while in the city had nearly filled several of the machines with them, all of which worked perfectly. — o NOT MANAGER KOENIG.
