Places For Democrats Only, Say Party Chiefs

Washington, Nov. 29.—Lemuel T. Osborne, of Mt. Vernon, who has been appointed explosive inspector for Indiana, was recommended for the place by National Committeeman Hoffman and Charles A. Greathouse, chairman of the Indiana Democratic committee. The Democratic national organization is insisting on naming all the state explosive inspectors. The council of national defense, on the other hand, has asked each state council of defense to co-oper-ate with the national council in enforcing the war time explosive law. The national council is not all all pleased with the injection of politics into the appointment of state inspectors.
