Mrs. Lilly was an inmate of the asylum some years ago. She is very much given to talk and literally talked herself into the asylum. Most of her talk seems to be rational but she has a never ending flow of it and it is not of a very entertaining variety either. She knew she was going to the asylum and seemed perfectly willing to go.

Laws of the land have been made by those whom the majority of the people have selected for that duty. The honest servant should and does serve the wishes of those whom he has been chosen to represent usually following a declaration of principles or previous promises. Did you do what you could to select your representative? Did he make you any promises? Did you ask him to do so? It would seem of importance that ideas and wishes of the people should be enacted into a set of principles, for those who wish to represent them.

Do you favor a declaration advocating state wide primaries? Do you favor a declaration advocating Woman’s Suffrage? Do you favor any declaration advocating party temperance legislation? (remembering that the anti-saloon league has asked that political parties refrain from mentioning state wide prohibition.) ‘ ~ Do you favor a Constitutional Amendment Convention?. Are you particularly interested in other reforms? What? Please express your views in blank space and mail, hand or report to G. H. McLAIN, County Chairman.

PLANS BEING MADE FOR STATE CONVENTION

Precinct Committeemen Asked to Attend School to Be Held Under* Able Leaders.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 7—The Republican State Committee has added to the program for the Republican State Convention that is to be held in this city on April 22 and 23 what probably will prove the most novel convention featur? ever offered by any party in the political history .of Indiana. At 10 o’clock on the morning of ApjJl 22 a “school tor precinct committeemen” will be held in the assembly room of the Hotel Severin. The members, of the faculty of this school will be the former chairmen of the Republican State Committee, five in number. The “teachers” will be Jack Gowdy, former U. S. Consul General at Paris; Charles S. Hernley, of New Castle, known when he was at the head of the organization as “the king of precinct committeemen”; James P. Goodrich, Indiana member of the Republican National Committee; Geo. F. McCullough and Fred A. Sims, former secretary of state. The “school” will be called to order by State Chairman Hays, who will present his predecessors. These former chairmen, each of whom is a past master at the game of politics, will speak on “Organization.” It is expected that this school will be productive of much good and go far towards helping the present committee realize its aim to make the organization in Indiana this year one of the most efficient and effective in years.

Interest in the coming state convention continues to grow. The impression prevails that the republican who misses this convention will miss a history making meeting and the strong demand for convention seats that is in evidence is the result Announcement was made at state headquarters today that no tickets will be sent in advancoathose who make reservations by mail can secure their tickets by calling at state headquarters when they reach Indianapolis for the*convention. The program, has been completed'. The night of April 22 has been turned over to the Lincoln League, the officers of which will have charge of a big smoker that is to be held in the assembly room of the Hotel Severin. The delegates, by districts, In session in rooms at the state house on the night of April 21, will select the members of the convention committees. The convention committees will meet oh the same evening. The first session of the convention proper will open at 2 p. m. April 22. That night smokers will be held in the Hotel Severin and the Marion Club with music and addresses by prominent republicans. The final session will open at 10 a. m. April 23, when the platform will 'be adopted and the state ticket named. Already word has reached state headquarters of the coming of a half dozen bands and a number of glee clubs.

HELP TO MAKE THE STATE PLATFORM OF YOUR PARTY

Bee our line of buggies and carriages. Hamilton A Kellner.

Seeking to further this idea and to ascertain the wishes of the people of the State of Indian*. on some of the vital questions that will confront the Republican convention, state Chairman Haya has sent the appended questions to the County Chairman, asking that they gather the sentiment in their communities. To do this intelligently would require a reply from every person. In order that my reply may represent the feeling of Republicans in Jasper county, I wish you would reply to the questions asked here.

DEBATE TAKES PLACE TONIGHT

Ed Rose is 11l and Robert Reeve as Substitute Will Be One of Debaters at Delphi.

The merits of an income tax are to be sifted this evening. At the high school auditorium in Rensselaer Dwight Curnick and Russell Warren will contend that it is a good thing, while two young high school lads from Delphi, William Mahanna and Frank Wagoner, will contend that the tax is not practical. Simultaneously Elvyn Allman and Robert Reeve will support the negative side of the income tax question at Delphi, their opponents being Lake Rariden and Floyd Swartz. Ed Rose had been chosen as one of the debaters to go to Delphi, but illness prevented him from going and Robert Reeve was the first substitute. He is regarded one of the able debaters in the high school and is expected to make a good showing there. The debate promises to be very interesting and it is expected that a good audience will turn out here to listen to the embryo statesmen.

COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING POSTPONED

Two Members Disqualified and Two Others Ill—Next Meeting Set tor 7- April 20th. • 4 The county council, which was to meet Monday,, was compelled to postpone its meeting owing to the fact that there was not a quorum on hand to do business. The board consists of seven members. This number was reduced to five by the appointment of Sylvester Gray as county road superintendent and the removal of Frank Babcock from Carpenter township to Rensselaer. The attendance was further reduced Monday by the sickness of J. F. Payne, of Barkley township, and of S. T. Comer, of Union township. The three members of the board present were unable to transact business owing to the fact that it takes four to constitute a quorum. At the meeting set for April 20th two new members will be elected by the board to fill the vacancies made by the disqualification of Sylvester Gray and Frank Babcock. ’Aside from holding up the appropriations tor that -length of time, and a delay of two weeks in deciding the question realting to the employment of a county agent no serious results will be occasioned by the inability of the council to transact the business at hand that day.

Chance to Visit Newland By An AU Rail Route.

There will be an opportunity Friday of this week to visit N wland, the scene of bustling activity by an all rail route. Ed Oliver, who has arranged to have Henry G. Bell, an expert in subjects relating., to the farm, speak at Newland Friday at 1 o’clock, has arranged to have passenger trains Nos. 5 and 30 stop at McOoysburg that day. Thus, all who desire to visit Newland can leave Rensselaer at 11:05 and return that evening at 7:12. No sectton of Jasper county ever had the boom that Newland is enjoying. Many houses are in course of construction and fiftyseven new families are reported ,to have come in since the first of the year. As the ’truck and onion farms were sold off in 10-acre tracts, the scene is an interesting one and it is probable that a number will avail themselves of the opportunity to visit .Newland and hear Mr. Bell’s speech on that day.

Little Daughter of Monon Conductor Severely Burned.

Dorothy, one of the 9-year-old twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Gray, of Monon, suffered a severe injury last Saturday evening. Mis. Gray had started for Indiana Harbor Saturday evening, joining her husband, who is a focal freight conductor on the Monon, at Hammond. At the supper hour an older daughter had fried some eggs and was in the act of taking them from the Stove when Dorothy ran into her. The hot grease from the pan of eggs ran down the side of Dorothy’s face, across her chin and on her ehest, inflicting a terrible burn. It is believed that she will not be seriously scarred by the accident, but it will be some time be'tore the injury heals. Mrs. Gray was formerly Miss Emma Cline, of this city. She and her husband were notified of the accident before they left Hammond and they hurried back to Monon. Mortgage exemption blanks at The Republican office.
