Not Many Wuerthners Over in White County.

Three townships in White county voted in favor of the subsidy for the Lafayette & Northwestern railroad Tuesday. The progressive spirit won out and the citizens who look ahead and want to contribute to the development of their country joined hands with the same classes in Newton county and the subsidy proposition went through with substantial majorities. Probably there were not many men of the Erhart Wuerthner type of retrogressives over there or perhaps the people in White county are as smart as Erhart thinks himself to be or perhaps they are not controlled by prejudices or influenced by sour grape publications, but whatever the reason may have been they have shown that they want a railroad and realize that by securing one they will be given advantages that will be worth a lot of money, that* the tax for the railroads will make their marketing easier, their lands more valuable, their opportunities increased and will eventually pay back in taxes all that the subsidy has amounted to. The advantages seen by the people of White and Newton counties are the same that are offered in Newton township and we feel certain that the good people of that township will neither backslide nor fail to do the progressive thing, all the silly objections of a knocking editor and his new assistant to (the contrary notwithstanding. Erhart is probably that class of tall grass citizen who don’t want accommodations but who wants

to stall off improvements and settle down in overalls the balance of his life. So far as we are concerned or any other person we have heard express themselves it don’t make much difference how far in the interior Erhart goes or whether he ever gets back into civilization. He wouildn’t want a railroad probably if he lived m central Africa. From as far 'back as the memory of any citizen runs he never came to town unless it was to make a “holler” about something and no one recalls that any of his protests ever Won out or had the respect of any of (his progressive neighbors in Newton to'vnship. The Republican does not aim as a general proposition to deride any individual, but since Erhart has devoted a few columns to us we feel that it is nothing more than right to give him and those who might be influenced by him a sort of reflection of his personality. After getting a square view of him we feel that they will make (the subsidy almost unanimous when it comes up in Newton township the 26th of this month.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY AMONG REPUBLICANS

Idle Factories and Industrial Depression Brings Demand For Crange Of Administration.

Indianapolis, May 10.—Not in twenty years has there been so much political activity between campaigns as is now in evidence all over Indiana. In fact tRe campaign of 1916 is already on. This is an unusual satdation, as under ordinary conditions a state campaign in Indiana does not open until the first of the year in which the election occurs. The cause for this condition is evident. The people are not satisfied with the present administration. They are demanding a change. They’re tired of idle factories and industrial depression, so they are taking the initiative in the preliminary activities which always precede the opening pf a political campaign. The republicans of Indiana especially are busy. Organization meetings and love feasts are being held ail over the state. The center of republican activity, however, is around the Columbia Club at Indianapolis. The board of directors of this famous club, which was organized over twenty years ago, to promote the candidacy of Benjamin Harrison for president, decided early in the year to make the club a powerful state organization for the promulgation of republican principles. As a result of this action, a special membership campaign was instituted and is now being developed throughout the state. Already an increase of more than eighty per cent in the membership has been reported since March Ist. Upwards of eight hundred new members have joined the club within the last few weeks, representing practically every county in the state. It is expected that a membership of five| thousand will be secured before the close of the 1916 campaign. The idea of a strong central club where republicans from all parts of the state can come together occasionally is a very popular one. The plan has the full endorsement of the state committee, the republican newspaper men, county chairmen and other party leaders, all of whom are active in promoting the interests of the club. “Non-resident members” are admitted from all points of the state outside of Marion county on payment of S2O per year dues. The membership committee will visit every county in the state during the next few weeks.
