Object to Giving Political Plums to Any Irregulars.

Meredith Nicholson, the Indiana author, is an applicant for a diplomatic position and before some of the politicians of the state woke up to the fact he had received some valuable endorsements and was about to be appointed, and then a big wail went up and the charge that he was not enthusiastically democratic was made, and now the author may have to stay in Hoosierdom. The opposition has been considerably augmented during the past few days and prominent democrats of the state have sent word to Secretary of State Bryan and to President Wilson that there is cause to doubt the loyalty of the author to the cause of democracy.

It seems probable that John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, will be sent to Mexico City as ambassador to relieve Henry Lane Wilson, but delay is being made until the administration decides whether or not it should recognize the Huerta government, and the sending of a new ambassador would be a partial recognition.
