New York Life Will Insure National Guardsmen at Old Rate

The New York Life Insurance Co. has issued a bulletin to agents to the effect that it will insure National Guardsmen without any advance in rates and a policy that is incontestable in view of the possibility of service in Mexico. Several guardsmen have recently talked about taking out insurance and the doubt existed whether companies would insure them. The New York Lite agrees to take the risk.—M. E. Griffin, Local Agent.

VALPARAISO GAVE DELEGATES FINE TIME

Met Them at Train With Autos— Many Business Houses Were Gaily Decorated.

The republican district convention held at Valparaiso Tuesday was one of the best conventions ever held in the district and should be an example to all republicans in attendance in the way of hospitality and city pride. Valparaiso was gayly decorated, flags and bunting being used on almost all of the business .houses and many residences. A large number of autos met the delegates and visitors who arrived on the special train from Lafayette and a parade about the city, headed by the band, took place. The automobiles were decorated with flags, while large banners were fastened on each car, telling of the purpose of the meeting. In the city a large banner with the words “Republican Headquarters,” was stretched across the street. The convention was held in Memorial opera house, which was magnificently decorated with flags and bunting and large pictures of distinguished republicans. The opera house is large and not only accommodated all ot the delegates and visitors but many of the citizens of the city who wished to witness the convention proceedings. There were a number of ladies in the audience.

Streaming ribbons were on the coait lapels of the delegates and visitors. The red ones were worn by supporters of Will R. Wood, while light blue and light pink ones were pinned on all persons who arrived in the city by a diligent reception committee. They told of the date, place and purpose of the meeting. The Lake county delegates‘brought Wood badges of a different pattern. They read “I am for Will R.” Across the bottom of the ribbon was glued a small particle of wood. The badges were all printed on a good quality of ribbon, were of goodly proportions and so generally worn that they added to the gayety that seemed to control the whole city.

The convention proved a lively and entertaining one despite; the fact that there was no contest. Mayor Sisson delivered a short but pleasing address of welcome. He iwas followed by Dr. Erank Smith, of Gary, the district chairman, who made one of his characteristic speeches, comparing the grand old party to the giant oak, which the winds might toss about but would not uproot. He asked for reports from the committees and the committee on organization recommended the selection of Hon. E. D. Crumpacker for chairman. He accepted and made a short" speech, which was a splendid plea to republicans to get together and pull for democratic defeat. He predicted republican success this tall, estimating that the nominee of the convention would secure a plurality of 5,000 in the district. Next came the passing of the resolutions, a part of which John Ade had written Mr. Ade was the chairman of the committee and it was during the time that George Haywood was reading them that Mr. Ade died. On roll call of counties there was only one nomination, that of Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, whose name was placed before the convention in a splendid way Iby Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, himself a candidate until he saw that the odds were against him. Mr. Thomas made a good speech and his action secured for him many friends who had come a long way to support Mr. Wood, but who congratulated Mr. Thomas on his‘party loyalty in withdrawing and naming Mr. Wood. Mr. Thomas said that we were selecting a good lawyer, an experienced law maker, a great campaigner, a fine orator and one of the very best men dn the district. Ho promised that Mr. Wood would go to every nook and corner of the district to talk to the people. After the convention with a lot of cheering had named Mr. Wood he was called to the platform and just as he started his speech three men marched down the aisle of the convention hall, having a piece of Bxß timber, sixteen feet long, which they placed on the center of the stage. Mr. Wood delivered a brief speech, in which he said that he would carry out Mr. Thomas’ pledge to speak in every nook and corner of the district The delegates cheered with a confidence that Will R. Wood is indeed to be the next representative of this district in congress. Probably no man in all the district has as many personal admirers and many of them are outside of the republican party, but they will support him because they believe in him and because they believe he has the ability to represent the tenth congressional di” trict, in an able manner. , Among ,hfe boosters Tuesday were democrats and progressives as well as republicans. To all readers of this paper we wish to recommend Mr. Wood as

MEDIATION PLANS ARE SLOWLY PROGRESSING

While South American. Members of Peaee Conference Are Holding Sessions U. S. Halts Soldiers.

Mediation has received a slight setback by a report that Carranza, the constitutionalist chief, will object to all peace proposals, fearing that they will result in some plan for having Mexico controlled by outside countries. The plan that is considered favorable by the representatives of the three countries is said to be to ask all factions in Mexico to lay down arms and it is hinted that this scheme is proposed through Huerta emissaries as an easy means of guaranteeing that Carranza and ViHa are eliminated from the possibility of gaining control of the government. Bad faith on the part of Huerta is considered probable, but the United States is making no aggressive movements at Vera Cruz until the mediation plan is given a trial

There art a number of beautiful beds of flowers, especially tulips, at the cemetery. Last Sunday several children picked some of the flowers, which is in violation of the law and the parents are responsible for*the children. Caretaker Holden hopes that there will be no repetition.

An official announcement by the government says it has been definitely decided that Japan will participate in the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco.

The Laporte county democratic central committee met in Laporte Saturday morning and unanimously elected A. J. Miller as chairman. John Faulknor, of Michigan City, was chosen vice chairman.

worthr of their support. He is a protectionist and believes in all measures that will help to place American standards higher than those of foreign countries. No man is more progressive and he will be found one of the most active men Indiana ever sent to the national congress, where he will become a leader, just as he has been a leader of the cleanest type in the state senate. We believe every progressive in Jasper county and in the district will be fulfilling the highest ideals of suffrage if they will give their support- this year to the republican candidate for congress. In his speech accepting the nomination Mr. Wood, realizing that there were doubtless many of his hearers who were unfriendly to Theodore Roosevelt, nevertheless paid to him a high compliment for the manner In which he refused to permit the Columbian government to block the building of the Panama canal, and said that the recent action of the democratic congress in paying to Columbia $25,000,000 was not prompted so much by their idea of justice a it was to take a slap at Mr. Roosevelt for his strategic move in securing the canal zone. Some will say that Mr. Wood was an enemy to the progressive cause. He was not opposed to it except that he believed that the republican party after its many long years of accomplishment, was still able and willing to do whatever the people wanted done, and he held fast to the old ship and will be one of the most energetic in giving it renewed life and a broader, better purpose. He is progressive in thought, which is far better than being progressive in name, and which 11) a difference so full of meaning that thinking men should be able to recognize the difference and not vote for a man flying under other colors but who is apt to be in no manner the progressive equal of Will R.

BOOTLEGGER GETS A JAIL SENTENCE

Job Miller, of Mt. Ayr, Convicted In Jasper Circuit Court, Also Gets SSO Pine.

Job Miller, whose plaice at Mt. Ayr was raided last August, with the result that a considerable quantity of booze was found, was today, Wednesday, convicted in the Jasper circuit court of bootlegging and was fined SSO and given a thirty days’ jail sentence Only a week ago Miller’s joint was raided again and ten barrels of beer arid a quantity of other liquor was found. His trial for the second offense will probably come up at Kentland about the time he gets out of jail after serving the sentence just imposed .and it is not improbable that he will get a somewhat more severe sentence and it seems that he deserves every bit that can be handed to him, for he has defied the law in a community that had a hard fight to rid itself of open saloons and no sympathy is deserved by any one guilty of the crime for which he was convicted.

ORDERS FEDERAL TROOPS TO MINES

President Wilson Yields to Pleadings of Coloradians—One Killed and Two Wounded in Battle.

Washington, April 28.—President Wilson today extended the protecting arm -of the federal government to the state of Colorado. Torn asunder by riots and pitched battles between mine' guards and striking miners, Governor Ammons found the state militia unable to cope with the situation and asked tor help. , ' • It was one of the rare occurrences in American history when a state found itself impotent to assert its authority, but the -president in a telegram to the Colorado governor expressly stipulated that the federal troops would confine themselves to maintaing order only "until the state can reassert its authority and resume the enforcement thereof.”

The president issued a proclamation ordering all persons engaged in domestic violence to disperse and “retire peaceably to their abodes before April 30,” .Secretary Garrison, after a conference with the president, ordered three troops of the Fifth cavalry from Fore Leavenworth and two troops of the 12th cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., to Trinidad and Canon City, respectively. Colorado members of congress who have been following the situation closely, say the mere presence of federal troops will restore normal conditions. Efforts of the federal government to settle the strike thus far have failed. On this point the president made it clear that federal troops were being sent merely to preserve order and not to interfere in the strike controversy. “I shall not, by the use .of the troops,” wired the president to Governor Ammons today, “or by any attempt at jurisdiction, inject the power of the federal government into the controversy which had produced the presept situation. The Settlement of that controversy falls strictly within the field of state power.”
