HUNDREDS ATTEND K. E. OF P. MEETING

The Brook band headed a procession that marched to the depot to meet the 2 o’clock train. The Vice Grand Chancellor and the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Harry Wade, arrived this morning, and the Grand Chancellor will arrive this evening. His late arrival caused a slight change in the arrangements for the afternoon program. District Deputy Chancellor Jesse E. Foust, of Valparaiso, came Monday night and brought several others with him at that time. The Pythian Sisters are planning for a big supper at the armory at 5:30 o’clock, but it is feared that their plans will not take care of all who come, as the visitors exceed the estimated attendance almost half.

REPUBLICANS OF TENTH PERFECT ORGANIZATION

Dr. Frank Smith, of Gary, Chosen Chair-man-Stirring Resolutions are Adopted.'

CANDIDATES PRESENT W. 0. Thomas, of Monticello, and Senator Will R Wood, of Lafayette, Both Seeking Congressional Nomination, and Convinced That Election Will Witness Return of Republican to Peterson’s Seat— Ele Stansbury, of Williamsport, Made Permanent Chairman and Geo. H. Healey, Secretary—Rousing Convention That Inidcates Confidence That Republicans Are Prepared for Coming Campaign. The Republicans of the tenth congressional district of Indiana laid the foundation for success in the congressional election this fall by today electing Dr. Prank Smith, of Gary, district chairman, to succeed Will O. Thomas, of Monticello. Dr. Smith is the man who put Johnson across mayor of Gary, putting Tom Knotts and his gang to rout and making a fight that stamps him one of the greatest political organizers and workers this section of Indiana has eyer seen. Delegates to the convention be- 1 gan to arrive Monday afternoon from the south and Monday evening and night from the north and the Makeever hotel overflowed and it was necessary to provide lodging for a number at residences about town, while cots were used in the rooms and halls of the hotel. This morning delegates came in from all counties of the district and the convention lacked none of the spirit that has always characterized the party when it was entering upon a successful campaign. There was but one Idea uppermost with the delegates and that was the selection of a chairman that would organize the district for effectual results and either of the two men named, Dr. Prank Smith, of Gary, and Lawrence Lyons, of Brook, seemed well qualified for the task. Both have served as county chairmen and have attained good results as organizers. Either was willing to get out of the way for the other if it seemed that success could be best attained by so doing. Dr. Smith’s success at Gary during the city election and his ability to organize for effective results In Lake county were uiged as reasons why he would be the wisest choice.

Chairman Thomas called the convention to order and Hon. Ele Stansbury, of Williamsport, was selected as permanent chairman and Editor Geo. JEL. Healey, of Rensselaer, secretary. Mr. Stansbury addressed the convention for about fifteen minutes with a ringing republican address, pointing out the democratic tariff as leading to destructive conditions throughout the United States. Mr. Stansbury was quite eloquent in his chastisement of democratic policies and held it certain that republican victory would ensue at the election this fall. The following committees were appointed: Rules and Order off Business— Benton, A W. Timmons; Jasper, S. R. Nichols; Lake, C. B. Tinkham; Newton, Roy Ross; Porter, Ed Helston; Tippecanoe, Geo. B. King; Warren, J. M. Hunter; White, B. P. Carr. Credentials—Benton, Fred Gates; Jasper, R. A Mannan; Lake, August Johnson; Newton, Abram Dewees; Porter, Will Brown; Tippecanoe, Omar Henneger; Warren, C. A. Davies; White, Henry Waymire. Resolutions—Benton, Frank Miller; Jasper, C. C. Warner; Lake, Geo. Manlove; Newton, Lawrence E. Lyons; Porter, Andrew Bickle; Tippecanoe, Will R. Wood; Warren, Mont Padgett; Whiter A K. Sills, Jit-

The committee on, credentials reported no contests and it was moved that in cases where the delegations were not full that the delegates be entitled to vote the full allotment for the county. The committee on rules and order of business reported the following order of business, whieh was adopted: Selection of permanent chairman, selection of permanent secretary, report of committees on credentials and the committee on resolutions, and the election of a district chairman. The resolutions committee reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, the Democratic Party has had complete control of the national government for the past eleven months, and

Whereas, it was promised during the last presidential campaign that in the event of Democratic success the high cost of living would be reduced, and Whereas, instead of the cost of living being reduced, it has materially increased, and Whereas* during this period of time more than a million working men have lost their employment and are wandering about the country in quest oif work, without success, and Whereas, the mills and foundries in which many of these men wars employed have been closed, and Whereas, the ports of our country have been opened to the free grain and meats of the South American republics, and the gates of Canada likewise have opened to the free Importations of all kinds of animals, produee and products of the sofl, and Whereas, the importations of foreign manufactured articles have constantly increased and the exportation of American manufactured articles constantly decreased; so that in the month of December alone there was imported into this country Twenty-Pour Million Dollars’ worth of manufactured articles more than was imported during the preceding December, and there was exported from this country during the same month Sixteen Million Dollars’ worths of manufactured articles less than in the some month of the preceding year, and Whereas, the sugar industry of this country has been destroyed and the sugar Industry of Porto Rico likewise destroyed without any diminuation In the price of sugar to the American consumer, and

Whereas, the cost of the articles from which the tariff has been taken has in no wise been reduced in prices to the American consumer and haa resulted alone to the advantage of the importer and middle man, and Whereas, the present administration has sought to tear down and is tearing dowq the civil sendee in pufblic office established by the Republican Party, to the great detrfr ment of the public service, and Whereas, the Democrats, in their control of the Statete affairs, have been extravagant in the expenditure of the public funds without enhancing the value of the public service or adding to the efficiency of the same, and Whereas, the taxes have been constantly increased, until today they are higher than at any period sinee the Civil War, and notwithstanding the increased rate of taxation, we have the spectacle of the state .government having to borrow funds with which to defray the current expenses of the state, and Whereas, there has been created by the Democratic Administration of State affairs numerous commissions and offices, which have added to the expense of the state without any practical return, and among which, notable for Its inefficiency, is the State Accountant law in its method of administration; Be it therefore resolved that we, the Republicans, assembled, of the Tenth Congressional District of the State of Indiana, condemn the policy of ; the present national administration with reference to the tariff act passed by the last Congress, which has brought about the present financial depression of the country and has caused the idleness now existing among our labor-

ing classes. We also condemn this policy for the evil effect that it has wrought to the farming industry of the land and to the manufacturing industry as well. Be it further resolved, that we reaffirm out allegiance to the principles of the Republican Party as set forth in the platforms of the last national convention and in the last state convention, and that we reaffirm our allegiance to the protective tariff policy of the Republican Party that has always brought prosperity to our land and to its economic policies that have always resulted in the honest administration of public affairs, and we reaffirm our faith in the Republican Party, that lyts always been responsive to the will of the People and made that will the law of the land. On call of counties for nomination for chairman, Capt BL 8. Norton, of Gary, placed the name of Dr. Frank W. Smith, before the convention, and this was the only
