DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENT'N

EMPTY HONORS- ON STATE TICKET SOUGHT BY BUJ FEW CANDIDATES. The Indiana state convention which met in the capitol city, this Thursday for the purpose of placing upon the democratic altar candidates that are to make the sacrificial offer for the party during the coming campaign, seemed to have perfectly -smooth sailing. With a single exception all candidates for placed upon the state ticket were unopposed. lH democratic state committee had prepared a slate of the big four delegates to the national democrat convention to be held in San Francisco, Cal. The four selected by the bosses were Mrs. Alice Foster McCulloch of Fort Wayne, Thomas Taggart, Thomas R. Marshall andj S. M. Ralston. It is possible that this slate will he accepted by the common herd and that our faithful Democratic Woman county chairman, Mrs. John i. Gwin, will not received the honor of being selected delegate to the national convention which she. so .much coveted and for which she had been striving tremendously. We note that she did not have the aid or assistance of the editor of the Jasper County Democrat. , The chance that this honor might be bestowed Upon Mrs. Gwih as al delegate from the tenth congressional district passed away Wednesday evening when Henry Downey of Hammond and Charles M. Murdock of Lafayette were selected delegates to the San Francisco convention. ' Two or three educators of .the state, who had, announced themselves as candidate for the nomination for state superintendent of public instruction, graciously yielded to Miss Adelaide Steel Baylor of Wabash. Vice President Marshall was scheduled to make the convention address. The democratic politicians of the state and nation prevented the

rank and the democrats of Indiana from making known their preference for nomination for candidate for president of ‘Hie TJnited States,* as provided by the primary law- of this state. It is clearly the right of the „ people and the duty of the party leaders to see that the common people have a voice in the selection of candidates. Candidates who prefer to submit their nomination to bosses and ring politicians rather than to the people are not worthy even of the empty honor of being candidates y for the presidency on the democratic ticket in the year of our Lord, 1920.

BIGGEST SHOW OF YEARS TO VISIT CITY

AMERICAN LEGION CONVENTION

GREAT STATE MEETING TO BE HELD IN VINCENNES IN JUNE.

Vincennes, Ind., May 20. —AD indications are that the state convention of the Indiana department of the American Legion which wul be held here on June 28 and 29, will be one of the most momentous in the history of the organization. Several important questions will be placed before Hie delegate* for solution, chief of which will be the Legionnaires attitude toward- recognition by the State of Indiana. Inasmuch as the state has promised to reward the service men by erecting a niemorlat building, dedicated to their memory, it is thought some expression of policy will be adopted by the Legion on this proposition. The Legion has taken a prominent part in the agitation for such a- building, chiefly because the members feel that the state should recognize the part played by the men while m the service, and also because * will serve to retain American Legion national headquarters in the state. • It?is pxpecte<L special# session of the Legislature will be far sight by convention tune, Ind, according to the pledges made by the' legislators little difficulty is anticipated in bringing satisfactory legislation on the memorglf Many oi the other fates have found themselves confronted with a demand for re-adjusted compensation from former service men and it is probable that if some action toward recognition is not ta ken , “®’ fore June 28,-some of the delegates may ask for another form of government reward. . Vincennes will be given over completely to the visiting delegates during the two days convention and plans are being rushed forward_now sot their entertainment. Official headquarters Nf the national and state official headquarters of—national and state officials will be maintained in the Y.
