inee of the July gathering.
Roger C. Sullivan, -who controls the Illinois Democracy, and Mr. Bryan have buried the hatchet and are
in accord again politically.
“The Democratic party will control the convention, replied Chairman Taggart when asked today if the corporations now control the convention “The corporations will have to adjust themselves in the party—not the
party to the corporations.’’
“We feel more confident of vie- ' BOTH tory this year than we have felt fm* some time,” Mr. Tagart declared

with enthusiasm. “Mr. Roosevelt's policies have placed the advantage with us. Without giving specific examples he has done almost everything that would gain political favor for us and nothing that would weaken our party. Mr. Roosevelt attempted to carry out many policies which wo advocated and will continue to advocate, but no Republican leader can force his PUTty to back him in these needed reforms which Rofl'scrt’elt has attempted.” Mr. Taggart added that Governor Johnson of Minnesota, might develop into a strong opponent of Bryan, but added that he had seen the published interviews in which Governor Johnson, in effect, said that he would not oppose the Nebraskan. “Governor Johnson’s campaign does not seem to have been launched except in a general way. He is a good man, but I do not think he will oppose Mr. Bryan,” said Mr. Taggart, Other possible candidates were dismissed in the same manner. Signs of trouble in the Democratic camp over a local split came at the evening session when the faction headed by ex-Senator Patterson gave out that he and his .papers would prevent the raising of the $100,000 fund if the subcommittee recognizes the faction headed by John I. Mullins the Colorado committeeman. This will be a difficult problem for the national committee to solve.

Last night when Charley Kelley retired for the night he failed to turn the bolt on the front door. About midnight Mrs. Kelley was awakened by a noise in the lower part of the house. Calling her husband they went down to investigate. They found a very much intoxicated guest making himself at home. Mr. Kelley lost no time in throwing the man out of the house and locking the door. It is believed that the man meant no harm. He seemed to be very much under the influence of liquor. Several similar cases have occurred in Greencastle 'within the
past few weeks.

In a fierce yet poorly played concest Captain Sheets and DePauw quintet went down in defeat last night before the experienced team of Hose Poly by a score of 2 4 to 12. The game was unsatisfactory from start to finish and displayed a general lack of scientific play. Hose was particularly strong In guarding and this was the only redeeming feature of the game aside from the splendid up hill light made by the local team. The Methodists had fully as many chances at the basket as did their opponents but the shots were poor ones, due to the splendid covering on the part of the Poly guards.
Del'amv Starts Well.
The game started with a number of four goals by each side and DePauw took a spurt early In the splendid work of Captain Sheets. Rose soon tied things up, however, by a couple of pretty field goals by Lindeman and Markley. Honors for the half were about even and this was easily the .prettiest part of the game. The h^lf ended with the score 10 to
7 in favor of Rose. Poly Scores Rapidly.
The second half opened with the same lineup. The Poly men played with much more accuracy, however, and soon took a decisive lead by three goals from Hadley and Webster The locals lacked the ginger of the first half and changes were soon made, Pruitt going in for Bachelder, J Crick for Johnson and Hollopeter for Hardin. The Terre Haute men were forced to their host efforts in this half and both sides soon resorted to some- rough work, fouls being frequent. In the last five minutes of play Ell replaced Captain Sheets.
Ell Makes Only Goal.
The new men were hardly able to hold their own during the remainder of the game until two minutes before the close when Ell threw a pretty goal, the only basket from field dur ing the half. DePauw was awarded a point by Referee Kisner and the half ended 14 to 5 In favor of the
visitors.
The lineup:
DePAUW: Forwards, Johnson, Crick, Sheets (Capt.), Ell; Center, Bachelder, Pruitt; Guards, Grady, Hardin and Hollopeter. ROSE POLY: Forwards, Markley, Webster; Center Schmidt; Guards, Hadley, Lindeman tuapt.)

Brazil was chosen as the place for
holding the Repulician Fifth District Congressional Convention, by the Chairman, of. the. seven, counties, who met with the District Chairmen in Terre Haute Monday. Brazil was about the only town that was making a fight for the convention and it got ia all right. It was decided also that the convention should be held on February 20. Chas. Zeis the local county chairman, attended the meeting. Following what the Brazil Times has to say of the affair;
"Brazil is to get the coming Republican congressional convention. “The local hustlers went to work
with a vim and had little trouble in cinching the big meeting. It has not been decided yet just where the choice lying between the Sourwine Theater and the CoUsuem, both of
which places are amply large. “A special from Terre Haute this
afternoon states that the Republican county chairmen from t'.ie different counties of the district met al th--Filbeck house in that city today and this afternoon unanimously decided upon Brazil as the convention city and decided upon Febuary 2(i'h as the date for holding the convention.''

The movement in Greencastle to organize a State Guard Military Company is meeting with the greatest success. Already 53 of Greencastle and Putnam county young men have expressed themselves- as anxious to join such a company. William Sutherlin, the attorney, and R. Privitt, an Interurban conductor, are at the head of the movement. A few days ago, they, through the columns of the Herald, asked that all persons interested In the organization of a State Guard Military Company here, stop in at the office of Mr. Sutherlin and leave his name. Since then 51! young men have gone to the office and expressed their willingness
to join a company. •
Just 53 men are necessary for a company. This is stipulated by the s’ate law regarding State Guard Companies. Of the 53 now enlisted there probably are a few who cannot I ass the physical examination. The men at the head of the movement will wait until several more are eni died before they will call for an c xainination a&d for a mustering in
of tlie company.
