A committee to eound the gentlment of the people of the state concerning the manner the fifteen de!egates-at-lai%e to the Indiana constitutional convention shall be chosen for nomination so that the best qualified men may be obtained, and to consult with a committee from the Democratic organization on the sub- | Ject, was chosen at a meeting of the; Republican state organization at the; Hotel Severin Friday afternoon. Power to act was not given to the committee. * but it will be expected to make an in- i vestlgation and report for the purpose of guiding the Republican state organizavrhat It might do In the future. Will H. Hays, Republican state chairman, who called the Republican * state conference after the Democratic state organization had made overtures looking toward co-operative nonpartisan action by the two parties tdr the recommendation of the fifteen delegates-at-large, said he would probably call a meeting of the special Republican committee In about one week. The meeting authorized the appointment of a committee consisting of the Republican chairman from each of the congressional districts, and a second member from each district as follows: First i district, Wallace Cook, Evansville: Second, Homer Elliott, Spencer; Third, John Edwards. Mitchell; Fourth, Manley D. Wilson, Madison; Fifth, Otis Gulley, Danville; Sixth, Rudolph Leeds, Richmond; Seventh. Wlllitts A. Bastlan, Indianapolis; Eighth, Edward C. Toner, Anderson: Ninth, William Holton Dye, Noblesville; Tenth, George Ade, Brook; Eleventh, Fred Landis, Logansport; Twelfth, D. M. Foster. Ft. Wayne, and Thirteenth, A. J. Hickey, Laporte, Several of these committeemen are former

Progressives.

The district chairmen are: First district. Robert C. Baltzell, Princeton: Second, David R. Scott, Linton; 'Third, Robert W. Morris, New Albany; Fourth. Bert Morgan, Greensburg; Fifth, John G. Bryson, Brazil; Sixth, Walter F. Bossert, liberty; Seventh, James W. Fesler, Indianapolis; Eighth, John F. LaPollette, Portland; Ninth, W. A. Roach, Delphi; Tenth, Lawrence E. Lyons, Brook; Eleventh, E. M. Wasmuth, Andrews: Twelfth, Harry G. Hogan, Ft. Wayne, and Thirteenth, E. B. Murphy, Rochester. Different Viewt Expressed. The decision to appoint a committee to investigate, but without power to act, was arrived at after a long discussion had been h<Mkrd and many different views had been expressed. State Chairman Hays opened the meeting, sa^gng that in jtaking up the matter of the choice of the fifteen d^egates he felt that partisan politics should have no consideration, but only the question or obtainlitg the best men should enter. Governor James P. Goodrich and Senators Harry S. New and James E. Watr son were among those who thought tt would do no harm to have a committee to investigate the situation and to confer with the Democrats for the purpose of obtaining their views. Edward C. Toner, of Anderson, and Henry W. Marshall, of Lafayette, were among those who feared that the plan for co-opera-tion by the two state political organizations might have the result of bringing partisan politics Into the constitutional convention situation and of carrying the partisan plan to the selection of delegates by the counties. However, ail speakers declared their faith that the Democratic organization had no ulterior motive In proposing the plan. Women in the Conference. A feature of the meeting was the i>articipatlon of a delegation of women from the Legislative Council of Indiana Women, which took part in the conference on the Invitation of State Chairman Hays. Mrs. S. C. Stimson, of Terre Haute, a Republican, had the honor! of being the first womab who has ad- j dressed a Republican state organization meeting as a voter. With her were Mrs. Edward F. White, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. M. L. Hageman, of Muncie; Republicans, and Miss Clara M. Sears, of Indianapolis. a Prohibitionist. Mrs. Stimson said the women of the state were greatly fnterested In the constitutional convention and desired the nonpartisim selection '>f delegates. However, she believed that If It was necessary to select the best delegates-at-large through the medium of party organization, she believed the women would favor that. Mrs. Stimson said the women voters of the state would probably sign no petitions for delegates before June, and they probably^ would not recommend a list of delegates before August 89. She said the women were particularly Interested In the questions of prohibition and woman suffrage. In Their Pubiio Work. Mrs. Stimson said the women had been nonpartisan in their public work and that their federation Is nonpartisan. Women had entered politics, she ex;ilalned, not because they wiehed to sreak Into public life, but because municipal govesnment had broken down and they desired better conditions for their children. She said the women had been discussing the delegate problem and wished to find some way to prevent a haphazard choice of delegates. The women, she went on, feared that a choice of delegates-at-large by parties might set a precedent for the choice of all the other delegates, but she could see nothing wrong lu the plan for the Republican organization to confer with the Democratic organisation. In Vigo county, Mrs. Stimson said, the women were choosing a delegate in a nonpartisan way. There was applause when she addressed the audience as "fellow-

citizens.’’

W. A. Roach, of Delphi, thought cooperative action by the two party organisations would Insure the selection of the beet men obtainable. George B. Lockwood, of Muncie. said the problem of getting the men who ought to sit In the convention to «e candidates was an important one, and ho favored the general idea of party co-operation In the

is likely to be defeatetL

Mr. Toner said he r^snized the sood faith of those who had made the proposal, but felt that the participation by the two psuty organizations for the selection of the fifteen delegates would be a violation of the nonpartisan spirit of the constitutional convention measure. In his opinion such an organized effort would be a bad example, and politics might creep into the seleotion of sll delegates and into the convention. He said that tha. newspapers of the state could be depended on to assist in the

selection of the best men. In Case of Party Action.

Mr. Hays asked where the Republican organization would be If It refused to act with the Democrats, and then the Democratic organization should put out a slatft-pf fifteen men. James W. Pesler thoui^ht this question should receive consideration. He said if an organized selection of the fifteen delegates tould be thoroughly nonpartisan, as had been Buggeeted, that was a thing devoutly to be wished, but he recognized the danger of patrty action In the coimties In the selection of delegates. He thought the state organization should ge slow and meet again to consider the matter after it had been more carefully

thought out by alL

I. M. Bridgeman, of Brocdcville, thought better results could be obtained if the organization should wait until the candidates should make themselves known. Julian Hogate. of Danville, said he believed the best results could be obtained through partisan action under a nonpartisan name, as partisanship is sure to creep Into the selection of deleS ates. He believed It was the patriotic uty of all Republicans to recognize party rssponslbUlty In the matter. Henry W. Marshall said he agreed with Mr. Toner, and If the two-party plan should be carried out the thing would be done that the people of Indiana had been promised would not be done. If the Democrats try to make a slate, he said, it will be resented by the people of Indiana, and that party's purposes would he defeated. In ’Tippecanoe county, he said, the people had disregarded politice and bad agioed on I Professor T. F. Moran, of Purdue unl'vversity, as the best man for delegate, without knowing what party he be-

longs to.

For tlift Colored Voteta.

SpeaklBg. on behalf of the colored voters of Indiana. Gurley Brewer, of indlanaiiolls. said they were ittally concerned tn the men who would be aetocted as delegates. He auppoeed there would not be a colored delegate In the convention, and for that reason the colored people wished to be sure that there would be white delegates there who would look after th«rfr interests. Certain things were being proposed by leading Democrats, he said, which were against the best interests of the cob

ored voters, and he did not favor any party agreement which would give these Democrats an opportunity to become delegates. « "The colored voters,’* he said, "are willing to trust the Republican party with their liberty and their future." Senator New said he was of a practical turn of mind and thought the proposal for an agreement between the two parties might be a good thing, He did not believe the Republicans or the Democrats desired to consider the new Constitution in a partisan way. but all were interested in getting a Constitution under which the people can Ive. He thought the questions of prohibition and woman suffrage should be voted on separately by the people. Senator New said he was opposed to the Initiative, referendum and the recall, and a haphazard choice of delegates might result in placing undesirable provisions In the Constitution. Senator Watson said he was a Republican, but he did not believe a new Constitution was a matter of partisanship, but was a matter of citizenship. He could see no harm in the plan for a committee from the Republican organisation to meet with a committee of the Democratic organization to talk thlnge over, as great care should be taken Tn the selection of delegates. In an unorganized contest for delegates, he said.

there was danger that the demagogues would get inr. "I would rather have no Constitution than one like the Oklahoma Constitution,” he added. Of People "Back Home.” Governor Goodrich believed a committee composed of men from each congressional district should be selected by the Republican organization to sound the sentiments of the people "back home.” V "If wo don’t do something like this, what are we going to do?’’ he asked. He said the delegates to the convention should not be men representing one Idea or particular organizations or interests. As to what should go Into the Constitution, the Governor said he would feel satisfied with a brief Instrument containing the fundamentala The Republican state platform, he continued, has called for a revision of the tax laws and a budget system, and he felt that these things should be taken up by the convention. As to woman suffrage and prohibition, he thought these measures should be voted on separately by the people. Paul Haynes, of Anderson, called attention to the importance of considering the deztree of such organizations as those of labor and the agricultural Inter-

ests. Carl Minton, of the Indiana AntiSaloon League, said his organlsatin was vitally interested In the prohibition and woman suffrage question. If there was to be co-operation between the Re publican and Democratic organizations for the selection of fifteen delegates, he thought at Ibast twenty men should be named so there would be a wider exercise of choice. From the Minor Parties. In regard to the proposed co-operation between the Democratic and Republican state organizations for the selection of fifteen candltdates for delegates-at-large for the constitutional convention, J, Raymond Schmidt, state chairman of the Prohibition party, has given out a statement, saying that "any concerted move between the Democrats and Republicans. tn order to tnlude all lines of political thought and political divisions of th people, must Include representation for the minor parties at the election of delegates-at-large on September 18." Mr. Schmidt says tbe Prohibition party has within its ranks men well qualified to serve as delegates-at-large, and mentions the names of J. Frank Hanly, of Indianapolis; Sumner W. Haynes, of Portland, and A. B. KlrkE atrick, of Kokomo, as among the ProIbitloniats well qualified to serve as delegatea
