The meeting of the committee and ; i the hail hundred other part}’ work rs 1 was cl'-i-'-'-< <•; «<t by utmost lini-r.K.'v. i ami :.o ><i feeling. In tact il was the I best meeting the Democratic erganiz 1 '.- i lion has Held since the campaign of | 1892. Dircms.-lug the situation Ch: I man O’Brien said: “There has not been a Dc-mocrat’c meeting in several years in which so much good feeling was manifested and in which there | was so mash enthusiasm. The DemoI crats are united and. what is better, are very confident that they are going |to win. Good reports have been brought from every section of the state. We are going to organize early and I believe we will make a winning fight." Chairman O’Brien will issue a call for th-’ reorganization of the conn- ' ty committees March 1. That is the earl’est date ever set for their reorganization. There was a lot of taik In favor of holding the state convention as early t. 3 the middle of May. ! One of the most important steps taken at the meeting was to authorize the filing of a suit to test the constitutionality of the legislative reapportionment act. It was the understanding that the first suit would be filed today. The election of Joe Fanning as vice chairman of the Democratic state committee came as a surprise. It was not only not known that he was a candidate, but it was a surprise that an office should be created, for the committee has never had a vice chairman.' Fanning has been a member of the committee since the campaign of 190c’, when Taggart resigned In his favor. He is a good, careful politician, and above all is a true-blue Taggartlte. Ills election was fought to the last i ditch by J. L. Keach and his followers, and there is likely to be much grumbling among them because the committee has seen fit to give b.'m a position of such importance. Chairman O’Brien can’t be in Indianapolis all of the time, so the position of vice chairman will be one of groat importance. Fanning is one of the bestknown politicians in Indiana. He was formerly deputy auditor of state and mode an unsuccessful race for the office of auditor. It would not be surprising if the' Democrats should hold their state con-1 vention ahead of the Republicans this I time, for they seem bent upon getting ; into the campaign very early. Several ; members of the state committee ex pressed their hearty favor of an early convention. Two conspicuous figures at the meeting of the Democrats wen W. E Cox of Jasper, and Lincoln Dix on of North Vernon. They were sized up critically, as there is a prospect ! that they will become members of the Indiana congressional delegation next year. It seems practically settled that Dixon will be nominated to succeed Congressman Griffith, who will not be a candblaie Chairman O’Brien. Joe Cravens of Madison, Joe Shea of Seymour. and other well-known party lead ••rs in the I' irlh are for Dixon, and they say he will certainly win. Hia only opponent now is P. H. McCormack of Columbus, and it is by no means a certainty that he will run Dixon, ft is said, will shortly resign as district chartman and Shea will be named as his successor by Chairman O’Brien Cox Is running against Congressman Zenor of the Third. He has won in the tight to control the district machinery, which has given him so much presige that he thinks he will certainly be nominated. However. | Zenor is a hard fl-,liter and has such a , hold on his district that it will boa ’ hard matter to shake him off T Taggart, Indiana national committeeman, left today for Washington to attend the meeting of the Democratic national committee. He was accompanied by J. T. Fanning and John E. Lamb of Terre Haute Chairman O’Brien and B. F. Shively of South Bend also intended to accompany him. These men are interested in boosting Taggart for the national chairmanship, and they want to fur ther bls chances among the committoemen who will lie gathered at Wash Buxton. Taggart has received the en dorsement of the party of his own state ; lx or seven times, an honor that lias < e to no other party leader of his das iu Indiana. The executive committee of the, Democratic Editorial association has I I made arrangements for the annual mid winter meeting on Feb. 1. There will be it business meeting during the] day. and nt night n banquet nt which addresses will lie made. It Is expected that this will be th< most inter- sting’meeting the .issoelutiun Im;, held In a long lime. Fire Destroyed Watch Factory. | Elgin. 111.. Jan 9.
