WOOD 22 JOHNSON 8

INDIANA DELEGATION ARE FOR THE GENERAL AND THE CALIFORNIAN. / Nine of the thirteen Indiana congressional districts gave pluralities for General Leonard Wood and four districts give pluralities for Senator Hiram Johnson. The four delegates at large were instructed by a plurality vote of the Republicans of the state and by the Republican state convention in session in Indianapolis this week were instructed for General Wood. This means that Wood will have twentytwo delegates in the Natoinal Republican convention in Chicago and that Johnson will have eight. There were a number of men elected delegates who were formerly Harding and Lowden men but these men though they were not instructed by the delegates of the district from which they were elected, have privately pledged themselves to support the candidate who was favored by the votes of the district they represent* The fight to. instruct the big four was very spirited and the result of the vote was very close, but it showed that besides the plurality vote given General Wood by the Republican voters of the state that enough favor him as a second choice to make that plurality a majority. ' By their success in the Indiana campaign for General Wood two men have gained prominence and are sure to 'be large factors in the future activities of the Republican part in this state. These men are Mayor Charles Jewett of Indianapolis and Harry G. Hogan, Wood manager for Indiana and Republican chairman of the twelfth Indiana congressional district. Another man who is sure to become a very prominent character in the Republican party of this state is Col. George H. Healey of Frankfort. His name was very seriously considered for delegate at large to the' National convention.

CLOAK DRY HEART WET

VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL MAKES BID FOR WET VOTES. A number of years ago Indiana passed a county local option law by which many of the counties of this state rid themselves of the saloon. Thomas Marshall, a prominent member of the Presbyterian church of Columbia city, but a democrat hungry for office and willing to make any sacrifice to get the same took advantage of his knowledge of the thirsty condition of the former wets in his and the Republican party and made a campaign for governor in Indiana on the platform it is better to be cursed by rum than for the democrats to be out of power. Knowing the intense thirst of those so recently deprived of their booze by experience Marshall taking his wife with him over the state to keep him sober, made a straight out campaign favoring the open saloon and all the hell in its wake. With the hosts of satan he won and Indiana was again turned over to the most evil element of our people. This same Marshall in addressing a body of lawyers in the east this week takes a fling at the eighteenth amendment to the national constitution, which amendment has been ratified by the people of this nation and is now a law. He told the lawyers that had tffe amendment been considered by the • United States senate in secret session it would not have received twentyfive votes in that body. By virtue of the fact that he is vice president, Marshall is the presiding officer of the senate and should know What he is talking about but we do not believe that the per cent of senators he indicated are cowards and so out of sympathy with the wishes of the people for whom they serve. With the cunning of a real demogogue Marshall says he is offended at the tinkering with the constitution and gives this as his real obi j ection to the eighteenth amendment. , , This certainly is m marked contrast to Marshall’s attempt to write a new constitution for Indiana all I by himself and to force it upon the people. . . How pitable that a man whom the fortunes of politics have elevated to the office of Vice President of the United States should secretly and underhandedly try to secure the votes of former boozers and again make effective and active the most damable curse to humanity, wholly for the reason that he hopes to thereby make himself ttie presidential nominee of his party. Chicago has had its Hmky Dinky and Mike Kenna but Indiana has given to the nation Thomas Mar- । shall.
