SOME PLACE in Indiana there is a republican who still believes in the integrity of his party leaders, but he is getting mighty lonesome. WILL HAYS LEARNED politics in the Goodrich camp. The east should not be surprised if Hays looks after Hays. GOVERNOR GOODRICH promised the American legion a home. The republican state committee urges Goodrich to repudiate the promise. How the whole gang loves the soldiers! THE MUNCIE PRESS registered a vigorous complaint -with the secretary of the republican committee over its action in refusing to attend Goodrich’s conference. Who can blame it? SAMUEL RALSTON has not yet become a party to the Bcheme of the republican press and the Indiara Democratic club to have him repudiate his indorsement of Carleton B. McCulloch. GEORGE COFFIN resigned. Gov. Goodrich gave up his dream of presidential honors, Claris Adams decided not to expose himself in another race. How the "sinister forces’’ have prevailed over the exponents of "good government!” “SENATORS may reject Colby,” yelps the Indianapolis Star; “Nomination of Colby likely to go through,” declares the Indianapolis News. The democrat of Indiana who is foolish enough to take his bearings from these republican sources is thus afforded an opportunity of seeing how great minds may differ on things they know nothing about. Republicanism When the republican state committee notified Gov. Goodrich that it was opposed to the calling of a special session of the legislature it went on record before the voters of Indiana as being opposed to the only possible method of 1. Amending the state tax law so as restore to the people of Indiana a voice in the levying of taxes or expenditure of money. 2. Amending the election laws so as to insure to women the right to cast the vote given to them by the Indiana law. 3. Appropriating the money to cover the $200,000 deficit already existing in the state institutional funds. 4. Appropriating the money necessary to provide a home for the American legion, whose national headquarters were brought to Indiana by a herculean effort. 5. Amending the county-unit road law so that someone will be authorized to care for township roads. 6. Providing for the deposit of Barrett law funds so that the municipalities rather than the treasurers will collect the interest. 7. Providing for a highway levy with which to carry out a road buflding program now under way. 8. Providing for the revision of rates for legal advertising so that county papers will rot be compelled to carry it at a loss. 9. Providing for a teachers’ pension that will not be a delusion to those who grow old in education work. These are only a few of the things the republican party leaders have been promising to do for Indiana. They are mentioned here for the reason that each one has at some time or other been advocated by republican lead- ' ers whose position on them, it now seems, was not the position of the republican state committee which still presumes to represent the republican party of Indiana. Each and every one of these nine reforms has been urged or promised by republicans. Not one has been carried out. Yet the republican party has undisputed control, not only of the power to call a special session of the legislature, but also of both houses of that assembly. No more potent argument for the complete overthrow of the republican control of Indiana is needed than the stand of the republican state committee against calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of amending the tax law. The people of Indiana demand relief from the centralization features of this law. The republican party has been placed on record against granting this relief. The voters of Indiana who believe in self-government will now relinquish their principles or vote the democratic ticket. Up to Goodrich Now Gov. James P. Goodrich will call a special session of the Indiana legislature regardless of the insulting way in which the republican state committee treated his conference, regardless of its opposition to bis proposal, and regardless of the ultimate effect such a session will have on the republican campaign, OR Gov. Goodrich will admit that he has lost all control of his party, admit that his solemn promises to citizens of this state are the moutbings of an irresponsible liar, admit that in the exercise of the rights conferred on him by the constitution he is not governed by the PUBLIC welfare, but by political expediency. The time has come when Goodrich must stand out before the people as governor of Indiana and leader of the republican party, or as a weakkneed tool of officeseekers wjth no influence in the party which he once asked to support him for president. The issue is not one of Mr. Goodrich’s making. It was forced on him by the republican state committee when that body refused to enter into a conference which he called, and instead went on record against a special session which Goodrich had previously declared "inevitable.” Never before in the history of Indiana has a governor been placed in such a desperate position by the executive committee of a party that elected him to office. Never before has a party’s state committee assumed to dictate to an elective executive in a manner so flagrantly irreconcilable with the constitution of Indiana. The constitution of the state of Indiana says the governor may call a special session of the legislature whenever, "in the opinion of the governor, the PUBLIC WELFARE shall require it.” Gov. Goodrich assured a committee from the American legion on Jan. 5 that a special session would be called within ninety days, “at which legislation of a general nature will be taken up.” 1 On Jan. 17 he said: "There is no doubt that a second spec’al session will be called. Such a session is inevitable.” On Feb. IP at Evansville Gov. Goodrich definitely promised a special session within sixty days. On Feb. 13 at Ft. Wayne the governor said the power of the tax board over bond Issues should be restored to the people and "I am willing that this power be restored to them by the general hich I believe will meet in special session next month.” We only recall these things now for the purpose of showing that previously to this week Gov. Goodrich held to the opinion that the public welfare demanded a special session. We are unwilling to assume that in his promises of a special session Gov. Goodrich was moved by any other consideration than the constitutional provision for a special session when “the public welfare shall require it.” Undoubtedly it was Goodrich's opinion that a special session was required by the public welfare or he would not have promised to call one. Nothing has happened in the last few' days to change the opinion held by the governor. The republican *tate committee has gone on record against a special session. It does not pretend to speak for the public, but it represents, officially, the republican party organization in Indiana. The only influence that seeks to make Gov. Goodrich repudiate bis public promises, confess that he has been moved by other than ccnaiieration of the public welfare, and go down in history as a governor who feared his own party, is the state republican committee, an organization which heretofore has stood steadfastly with Mr. Goodrich. Wry shortly the voters of Indiana will know whether or not Gov. j Oe cut rich le the weakling his party associates seem to t&ipk him.

Did Marshall Authorize Publication of This? The presidential primary law is of ddubtful value in Indiana. It would be possible for any person by getting tlie signatures of 500 petitioners to get his name on the ballot. If he was unopposed he could vote for himself and the delegation would be bound to his support in the convention. Vice President Marshall has agreed ta let his name go on the preferential ballot in order to meet just such contingencies. It is an excellent idea and will relieve the party In the state from embarrassment. It is not the intention of Gov. Marshall to let his name go before the convention, but suck a situation might arise and so such a course would be desirablb. Certainly the Indiana delegation should be free to act in his behalf if any such condition should be brought about. The party In the state Is thoroughly loyal to the vice president and desires to promote his interacts wherever possible.— Evansville Courier. Fooling the Public After all It is the intelligence of the American people that is being tested by the fight over the treaty of peace and the league of nations. The “case" against the league Is made up of barefaced falsehoods, unthinkable misrepresentations, and misinterpretations- ; nd all on the theory that a document which means more to men and women than any similar document In hlstdry will not be personally examined by the men and women. A case In point ia the hypocrisy, not to say utter dishonesty, of the republican platform adopted In Sew York. In this we find the pledge that when* the treaty is ratified the republicans “will promptly take steps for the Institution of an in ternational high court of justice.” This Idea makes a popular and justly popular appeal. But— In article XIV of the covenant of the lmgue provision is already made for "the establishment of a permanent court of International justice.” Thus— The only reason such a court Is not now in operation is because of the renttlonary republican fight preventing the ratification of the treaty. If a political party can attain power in any country by such cheap methods there Is something lacking in the intelligence of the people.—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. Build for the Future We want every vicinity of Indianapolis covered with highways that wlii bring in production to the local market. The farmer is too valuable a man to be a direct hauier. The produce of the farm can be handled by the transportation man, if sufficient well constructed road* are supplied. A wagon load of hay Is hauled along the road at an average of three miles an hour. With a six ton truck and two six-ton trailers, eighteen tons could be battled along a good highway at fifteen miles an hour. This is being don<v along the roads info Akron, 0., and there Is no reason why It should not be done here This leaves the farmer free to concentrate on the production of crops, which he could double in quantity if he had the added facilities for the transportation of farm product* and the added time now con stinted in hauling orep poor roads. A manufacturer does not build a railroad to transport bis factory products; he turns them over to the railroad. The farmer should utilize the motor transport man In the same way. Although the legislature may pass a ten-ton limitation on truck loads hauled over the highways, thm it not going to stop heavy hauling. The roads should be built to permit of the heaviest hauling. We can haul fifty tons of machinery on one truck, and save the added expense of loading and unloading at railroad platforms, and the enormous loss of time due to freight congestion. Good highways capable of heavy hauling should enter the city at the proper angle from all directions. Otherwise, you throw all the traffic Into a few central arteries of travel which, from a com-

niereial point of view, results In considerable congestion and lossea of money. We should build for the future—highways that will meet the increasing de manda of the future. A highway system constructed to meet present cash possibilities would have to be rebuilt for the next generation, and so on. The total that would be thus expended In future years would enable us to build a sub stanttal, enduring and efficient highway system. A bond Issue, mortgaging the future, would enable us to do this now, giving the present gs well as the next generation the benefit, and at the same time permit of an equitable distribution of costs to future users of the roads.— VV. 8. Frye, chairman transfer division, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. A Suggestion Editor The Times—Along with a goodly number of representative young democrats of this county, I wish to call this paper’s attention to the fact that there are In the democratic party many democrats who, if given an opportunity to follow representative leaders, would become active In their behalf. After tulking to many men of this character I find it to be the consensus of opinion that Howe S. Landers of the city of Indianapolis would be an excellent candidate for lieutenant governor. Everything that is desirable in a candidate for this office at this time is indicated in Mr. Landers, both as a man and as a democrat and it is the hope and desire of many of the ones to whom I have talked that Thomas Taggart be the candidate for United States senator, former Gov. Ralston for governor, and of the younger democrats, Howe 8. Landers for lieutenant governor. Much has been said about a clean deal and ijn opportunity for those who nave proven themselves in days gone by, uud a desire to bring out someone who is 1 fit running mate for these two gentlemen just mentioned. Having been active In this county, I personally believe that this ticket would be an Ideal one. in wfcteta every one could place the greatest confidence and In whom the Dally Times, In its effort to insure democratic success in this state, could, with the best of grace, boost and let their qualifications be known to the geueral public. Hoping that you are in accord with my view and that of my friends in this respect, I beg to remain very truly yours, . EARL R. COX.

Here the Reader Says His Say THE BEST TIMBER. Editor The Times Asa democratic voter and a former resident of Indiana. I vigorously indorse your support of William G. McAdoo as our party’s 1920 standard bearer. There is no doubt in niy mind that if Mr. McAdoo is nominated he will lead the democratic party to success in November. Ho nobly displayed his ability to the American people as secretary of the treasury. He took tbp railroads in a dissonant condition and turned them into a eo-ordinate system unsurpassed anywhere. Much of the Success of the Liberty loans was due to the business methods pursued by him. You uo doubt agree with me that we need a business man la the whltehouse. I can not think of a greater or more practical business man. From most of the opinions I have beard he is looked upon as the best possible presidential timber. PAUL T. KEY. Cincinnati, O. A SORRY PLIGHT. Editor The Times I want to register my choice for president. I am for W. G. McAdoo. first, last and all the time. He is the man that republicans don’t want, and he Is so big that democrats may rely on him. That is wbat will build up his candidacy so firm that it can not be torn down. I like him for the enemies he has made. All the private interests are against him and he knows how to handle them. What a scramble the G. O. P. are making for a candidate. It-looks like a party without a leader. Even our governor is trying to lend the G. O. P. safely ashore. It Is a sorry plight. Kokomo. Ind. N. D. PIERCE. A Query Answered Editor The Timea—There has been considerable discussion In thla neighborhood as to the religious view* of William G. McAdoo. Will you kindly give us the truth regarding him? Kitshriile, Ind. L. M. Mr. McAdoo comes of a Scotch family, the members of which were ail Episcopalians and he Is Hated In Who’s Who as a member of that church.
