TENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT HELD ORGANIZATION MEETING HERE. a. *j— -x... .. /<:—_ _ it.. _ ~..~.-v- u. - ■ The Democrats* of the tenth Indiana congressional district held a meeting here Saturday for the purpose of planning an organization for the coming campaign. Aim nng the out-of-the-county Democrats present were H. L. Lehman, district chairman. Attorneys Hershman, Conroy, McMahon and Burret of Lake county. Editor Foster of Monticello and John, Isenbarger of North Manchester. The latter is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor of Indiana. ■

An organization meeting was held in the afternoon at which time campaign plana were discussed. Mrs. Ura Gwin, Edward P. Honan and Frank Welsh and other prominent Democrats of the county attended this meeting. Among other things decided upon was that the women should be given a fifty-fifty chance with the men. That this district should have a woman delegate to the Democratic national convention to be held in San Francisco. That at least one candidate for county office in the counties of the district should be a woman. That women should have the same number of members of the working organization as the men. It is reported that E. P. Honan was urged to make the race for congressman from this district.

An open meeting was held in the evening and a fair sized crowd was in attendance. • This meeting was presided over by Mrs. Ura Gwin of this city, who is the chairman for the women in this district. She made a brief address and then introduced a woman from Chicago who gave a short address in which die lauded President Wilson, his conduct in the great war and the Democratic administration. She said that the Democrats are entitled to more credit than the Republicans for the near victory for woman suffrage. At the conclusion of this address the Hon John .Isenburger, of North Manchester, who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, was introduced by Mrs. Gwin. He said that he was not an orator but that he prefered to talk personally to his supporters and that he had, while accompanied by County Chairman Welsh, interviewed about sixty of the leading Democrats of the community during the {afternoon and evening... He attackled the Goodrich administration and I praised very highly President Wil-

son. Attorney George E. Hershman, of I Crown Point, was then introduced! by Mrs. Gwin and he made a stir-r ring address and was often applaud-1 ed by those present. He attacked! the present national congress and I said they were spending >5,000 perl hour criticising President Wilson. I He said the Republicans were sol jealous of the Democrats for their successful conduct of the great war! that they wanted a war of their I own. He said the reason that the Hughes investigation whs not taken) up was because it hit too many] high-up Republicans. He spoke of I the good laws passed by the late Democratic congress, and said that nothing has been done by the Re-1 publican congress in power. ] He made a bitter attack upon the present state administration, flaying the tax law,-the road 'law and the failure of the Republicans to provide for the women voting in the primaries. , . , , . He spoke of the letter he had written to Mayor Charles G. Spitler, while a candidate for congress from this district two years ago, and of its publication by the Rensselaer Republican, but the Republican. had failed to publish his reply to the mayor’s letter, This thrust at the Republican editor who was present, was greatly enjoyed by the Democrats and met with a very hearty applause.
