DRAW CONCLUSIONS FROM MEETING

Indianapolis, Jan. 23. —The recent meeting of the Republican editors in this city has caused some complications of which the local Democrats have taken close notice. As the result of the action of the editors some questions arc being asked which Republicans might find it hard to answer. The editors passed a resolution unanimously endorsing President Roosevelt. Throughout the whole gathering th* name of Senator Hanna, who lias been touted by most of the lead< rs as llie real favorite of the party in this state, was not ni"iitioned. In view of these facts politicians are asking who told rhe truth in the reports which were made to .Mr. Roosevelt com t ruing the ! sentiment in this state. Was it the I men who assured him Indiana is for him. or Governor Durbin and one or two oth 'i s who told the president that the state is primarily for Hanna? If there Is any body of men who can reflect perfectly the sentiment of the people it is the editors, because they I are the ones who come in contact with the peoidc. The editors declared for lloooevelt without a dissenting voice. 1 That they would hardly have taken •ttch a course if their patrons were for I Hanna g,„. M wlth((tlt saytnu crats, too. are commenting on the tact j that the attendance at th.- meeting! was not up to n H . | lKllal atandard, notwithstanding the assertions of the malingers that the crowd was the lar I pest in tlie history of the orpanization. i lliis is taken to indicate lukewarm*! new on the part of the editors, and I Democrats everywhere who know the real circumstances are rejoicing.

BY PRIMARY’ ■ I . • A Candidate for Congress to be Elected 1 . The ConMt it Thi District to b* Settled by Diract Vote of the G. I. P. The most interesting thing that has happened hereabouts for a few days at least, was the action of the ; republican county chairman at : Muncie yesterday, in submitting 1 the nomination of a republican canI didate for congress to a primary or direct vote of the people and setting March 1, the time. The party at large were not expecting the question tv lx' solved in this | manner, anil snap judgment is being freely quoted. The new ‘ arrangement is quite a blow to the well laid plans of Chairman Frysinger of this county, who had gone so far to even have his delegates to the next congressional convention selected, and it is also said lie lias spent some time in drilling them how to vote a straight ticket for Cromer. It can at least be said j that there will be lively limes here ; abouts until the primary day, and ; when it is over the inhabitants of the eigth congressional district, and j ! especially the republican part of it, ' ’ will know to a certainty whether | George W. Cromer is congressman . because lie is the choice of the ma-1 j jority or whether he is an imposter • and a.fraud, At present there is ; four candidates, George W. (’romer. ' Mr. Dunlap of Madison county. ' Thecxlore Shockney of Randolph, and Frank Snyder of Jay. It is ' ; thought that in order to draw the ; lines properly that the three op- j p >sing candidates will get together and that but one of them wilt make : the race. I Later information on the Muncie meeting shows that the primary i ; system of selecting" a candidate for 'congress was » Cromer affair, the i sime being introduced by that well > | known mnocense abroad, John I Frysinger of this county. According to some of the rules laid down I for the guidance of this primary I ! election, all candidates who wish' ! to go to congress must leave their

, is fulf ill impurities and that there < I is danger of an epidemic of typhoid i unless his instructions are carried out. I The recent rains and the high water are responsible lor the change in the condition of the drinking waler. J While the water company claims that none of its supply comes from the river and that it relies entirely on driven w#ls for its water, it is a curi ous fact that whenever the river is ir bad condition the drinking water be--1 comes polluted. The health officers have net er been able to disprove the statements of the water officials that 1 they draw all their water from wells but whenever there is the slightest I pollution in the stream the drinking 1 waler is analyzed, always with the same result of posting the notice to ! boil the water. While the other parties are having I trouble here over the reorganization o®thei|teonut t committees, tlie Prohibitionists are going steadily ahead with the preparations for their national co Runion, which will be held here | lan. 29 and :W. Chairman Newlin of| >• star committee and oilier lociH workers have taken up with tlie hotels' i the question of accommodations for . the delegates and visitors, and they j have been promised gisrd rates. Thu I hotels ordinarily do not welcome conventions of Prohibitionists for the reaI son thut the places where they make I ! their money, in tlie bar-rooms, is not* a source of revenue when the cold . water delegates strike tlie town. The committee in charge has found thtjt ( i the Indianapolis hotel men at being , more liberal, however. They have Jfrondai.d good rates to the visitors; | and In addition to (Ids the hotel manI agars have made liberal contrite,it lons * i to help pay the expcnsM of the gntli1 er.ng.

Three brothers, John, Thomas and Denver Mossy, now temporarily residents of Bluffton, but for the past there years residents of Alaska, | were in the city for the past few j days visiting with J. F. Tisron and ■ family. They returned to their home today. About the first of March, after a short .trip through the southern states, all three boys will go to Seattle, Washington. | where they will join a fourth broth j er, Wilson, who is now located there 1 and all four will return to Alaska. I The boys have been in the north j west, country for the past three I years, working in the gold mines and cutting timber. John Mosey says there seems to.be quite a mistaken impression regarding the weather in Alaska. He and his brother were located near the coast where they got the full benefit of tho Japanese stream. The most i severe cold there last year was 8 I degrees above zero. He stated that I the bitter cold was only to be found ■ far inland. Mr. Mossy also told a : Democrat reporter that it was possible for young men to go to Alaska in the spring and return in | the fall, paying fare both ways and still earn enough at common i laborers’wages to make him considerably ahead of the game. He recommends Alaska as a good place for all young Americans. WILL CONFER DEGREE Columbia of This Ctr !• Initiate Members. The Knights of Columbus of this I I city will initiate members into two 'bulges tomorrow, one initiation j being held at Toledo and .the other ;at Muiion. A number of the memrs of this city will go to each place and it is hoped thut the num'er can be equally divided so as to send a like representation t > each iof the places. The teams J here will do all the work at both places ! and are looking forward to good I tie and a successful meeting. It :is not known how many members they will initiate but it is exjxicted ’ there will he quite a number. This sjioaks very highly for the lodge here, and shows that their work is highly appreciated by our surroundjing cities. The members for each place will leave on the early Clover Leaf train tomorrow morning.. Notice to Ladies.
