Continued From Page One.

failure to enact a tariff commission law so that tariff could bo taken out of politics. He has been speaking with the apparent purpose of making it appear that he is the advocate of a system of tariff handling that will be of great benefit to the business interests generally.

However, in none of his speeches has he indicated that he believes in the democratic idea of reduction of the tariff in behalf of the people themselves. He has spoken as a protectionist, which he is in spite of the talk about taking the tariff out of politics by turning it over to a non-parti-san commission.

Under the circumstances, the democratic leaders do not understand how Beveridge can expect to get thousands of democratic votes. At the progressive headquarters the claim Is made that thousands of democrats are going to vote for Beveridge because they are dissatisfied with their own administration. These claims are disputed by the leaders of the democratic organization who say there is nothing in the situation or in the acts of President Wilson to oause a democrat to be disloyal to the principles of his own party.

They point out that up to this time the president has attempted to put into effect the principles of his party. They say the new tariff law is fully in accordance with the democratic idea of what the tariff bill should be and as soon as the country becomes adjusted to it it will be more prosperous than ever before. The currency law and other measures enacted since President "Wilson was inaugurated are regarded as being in line with the democratic platform principles, so it is difficult for the party leaders to understand why the progressives like Beveridge should expect a great many democrats to vote the progressive ticket. The democratic leaders are convinced that Beveridge and his associates are deceiving themselves as to the number of democrats who will vote for him in November.

Republican Claims.

As to the claim of the republicans that thousands of democrats are going to vote the republican ticket very "little thought is given it. Going back over the elections that have bsen held In Indiana in the last twenty-five or thirty years it is apparent that very few democrats have voted the republican ticket. During the long years from 1892 until 1908 when the democrats were beaten election after election the party continued to grow in strength, showing that it was a powerful organization and that the members of it voted the ticket because they believed in the party principles.

In view of the history of the democratic party In Indiana the leaders do not take seriously the claim of the republicans and the progressives that the democratic party is going to pieces this year and that thousands of them will vote for Beveridge and Miller.

Chairman Toner, of the progressive state committee, has written letters to the county chairmen of his party urging them to circulate petitions for the edal registration in September. His tion is similar to that of Chairman orbley, of the democratic state com.ittee, who asked the democratic unty chairmen a month ago to file petitions for a special registration in September.

The progressive state committee finds Itself in a peculiar position. While the general election law provides that the party receiving the second highest number of votes shall share the election boards with the leading party, the election law provides that the two leading parties In any county shall control the registration board.

In whatever counties the republicans ran second to the democrats the republicans and not the progressives will have places on the registration board. The republicans ran second in a great many counties, so they will not be at as great a disadvantage as was generally believed.

The progressive state chairman is very anxious that the members of his party shall be increasingly active In counties where ^hey will not have places on the registration oard, as it Is feared that republicans may make an effort to disqualify the progressives and to keep them from registering.

Petitions are being filed in a good many counties for special registration In September. Chairman Hayes, of the republican state committee, says that his organization is working hard on registration matters but that he has not urged any of the county chairmen to file petitions for September registration. He has put it up to the county chairmen to use their own Judgment in the matter.

HoweJver, the matter of holding a special registration In September is entirely non-partisan, owing to the action of the three state committees, which realize the difficulty of getting all the voters to go to the registration booths in October. It Is regarded as likely that there will be a special registration in fully three-fourths of the counties.

Ralston Pushing Probe.

Governor Ralston is making an effort to get at the bottom of the fraud practiced on him in putting over the bill to increase the salary of the recorder of Lake county. An investigation began here shows that at least three bills that were killed either In the house or in the senate were revised

Early Closing Booster Busy

ALi M. SIERSDOHFER.

A1 M. Sleradorfer is the one Individual deserving credit for the advancement of the early closing movement. Nearly single-handed Siersdorfer secured the signatures of 106 business concerns to the 6 o'clook closing plan on Saturdays. His work has been approved by the following letter from the dlotrlct offices of the Unitod Mine Workers: District No. 11, United Mine Workers of America.

Terre Haute, Ind., July 18, 1914. Mr. A1 M. Siersdorfer:— "Since the early closing movement has been started in Terre Haute, I feel it my duty to urge all members of organized labor to use their influence in helping to secure this relief for the thousands of workers in the stores in our city. "By the stores closing at .6 o'clock on Saturdays during the hot months of July and August, the different employes shall be saved the necessity of putting in many laborious hours that are absolutely unnecessary, for it is a known fact that the general public can shop early without any inconvenience to themselves. "Therefore, I hope tthat all members of the organized crafts In Terre Haute will put forth every effort to make this movement a success. "Tours truly, "CHARLES FOX, "President Indiana State Federation of

Labor."

by someone and sent to the governor with a representation that they had been passed in the regular manner. The governor has been trying very hard for the last two weeks to get evidence th^t will disclose Just who was responsible for these frauds. It is admitted that it is very difficult at this time to find the guilty parties as they have had a chance to cover up their tracks in good shape.

The disclosures regarding these bills are liable to be followed by a change in the methods of the next session of the legislature by which it will be Impossible to put through any bills after they have been defeated. It Is pointed out that one of the conditions that have existed in every session of the legislature for the last twenty years Is the method of appointing clerks for the engrossing and enrolling rooms. It has been the custom for many members to appoint clerks for twenty or thirty day periods. The result has been that as soon as a set of clerks become efficient they were removed in order to make place for political workers who knew nothing of the duties which they were expected to take up.

This system has resulted In a great deal of confusion as well as fraud and leaders of the democratic party are talking now in view of adopting a rule whereby clerks who are appointed shall serve throughout the entire session of the legislature.

Notwithstanding the claim of Chairman Hayes and other republican leaders that the progressive party is going to pieces in Indiana they are very much concerned over the meetings that Albert J. Beveridge is having.

Beveridge spoke at Kokomo last week to a crowd of more than 2,500, which is more than the republicans have had at any meeting in along time. Wherever he has gone in Indiana this year, Beveridge has addressed large and enthusiastic crowds. At the progressive state committee rooms there Is a big demand for speeches by Beveridge and accordingly he is opening his campaign fully two months earlier than he Intended. Beveridge and the progressive leaders maintain that the meetings show clearly that their party Is much stronger than the republicans who are trying to discount them in every way they Qoesibly can.

It appears that the progressives have a much better organization than they had two years ago- They have county tickets In eighty-two counties and a majority of the townships. They expect to have all their county tickets nominated by the first of September, which will give them a better fighting organization than they had in 1912, and will make a much better showing than they did in 1912, when they ran second by a large majority. More than two hundred men have volunteered their services as speakers to the progressive state committee and the campaign to be made by the new party promises to be fully as big as that of the republicans.

Several small bets were posted here this week that Beveridge would receive more votes than Hugh Th. Miller, his republican opponent. These bets were taken. Republicans seem to feel that Miller ha8 a good chance of running ahead of Beveridge.

There has been nothing as yet to indicate how the betting will be between Miller, Shively and Beveridge, and probably will not be until the campaign opens in September.

It does not appear that there is anything in the situation to discourage the belief that Senator Shively will not receive practically the entire strength of his party and if he does he ought to be elected by a majority of at least 100,000. The democratic leaders figure that his majority will run from 100,000 to 125,000 unless matters are changed in the state.

Senator Shively is arranging to come to Indianapolis as soon as congress adjourns and as soon as he arrives arrangements will be made by Chairman Korbly for his part In the campaign-
