DEMOCRACY’S TIME TO STRIKE IN STATE NEAR Convention Must Choose Between ‘No Quarter* Fight or ‘Soft Pedal.’ FALL VICTORY AT STAKE The democratic party of Indiana is going to determine this week whether tt wins Indiana this fall or whether it continue* to be the anvil on which the republican politicians beat out their products. Two distinct courses confront the party and there must be a choice at the democratic convention, which opens here Wednesday. Democracy may be said today In Indiana to be divided into two camps, the one hoisting the banner bearing “no quarter' as Its inscription, the other waring a flag whose best symbol would be the “soft pedal" of the political piano. These two factions are going Into a •rtuggle at the convention that will not only determine the nature of the campaign. but will settle, this early, whether ■ the democrats have a chance to win in November. The militant democrats of Indiana on whose shoulders rests the only chance the democratic party has of success in the state are encountering strong opposition in their attempts to lay out a campaign that will be worthy of the name. They are opposed by the democrats who have business interests in common with the republicans, who hare no stomach for a fight and who desire nothing eo much as to be regarded as the democratic party without any necessity for doing that which is necessary to maintain a party. ONE KETNOTE AMONG OPENING SPEECHES. There will be three campaign speakers nd one woman speaker at the opening of the democratic state convention and only one keynote speech. vice President Marshall will get off a lot of sophisms about the constitution, getting back to democracy and religion. Former Got. Ralston will discuss the righteousness of the democratic national party in bis own inimitable style, and. as usual, his learned discourse will go over the heads of the most of his hearers Claude O. Bower* of Ft. Wayne will atrip the hide off the Goodrich administration, nail It to the cabin door as a symbol for victory and give the democrat* an idea of what they must deal Mrith in event they really want to carry Indiana. Bowers was selected to sound a keynote for the Indiana campaign because It was well known that neither of the senior speakers would do so. Following the oratory the convention will name Carletan B. McCulloch for governor and select the other members of the state ticket. It will also name delegates at large to Che Ssn Franciseo convention and therein It probably will show some surprises. Thomas R. Marshall, os usual, has h* lightning rod in the air and hopes that in lta despair the democratic party will select him as a standard bearer. He knows thats the selection were left to Indiana democrats he would not bo selected and he proposes to go to rbe democratic convention as an Ind'ana 4€legate, In order to insnre being able to tell the convention what he thinks of it NO OPPOSITION TO MARSHALL DELEGATESHIP. There will be no opposition to Mr. Marshall as a delegate. The party in Indiana generally feel* that he will attract national attentlou to the delegation, entertain the national convention and do" no particular, harm lieyond “riling" William J. Bryan. As to the other members of the delegation at large there Is some dispute. Most of the democrats think it would be good politics to send at least two women as delegates and both Alice Foster McCulloch of Ft. Wayne and Julia Landers of Indianapolis agree wholly with this view. Miss Landers, however, asserts that she is not willing to pre-empt’the seat that Thomas Taggart ought to occup ami Mr*. McCulloch says she ia going as a delegate But ail of this is merely interesting. The real question that will be determined at this convention is what, if anything. the democratic party of Indiana stands for. The answer thereto will be found in the platform. It will be an open and militant denunciation of Goodrichism and a de mand for everything that Goodrichism Is not, or it will be another of those “safe" platforms, drafted with cunning for the purpose of saying nothing and •cconfpllshlng just that. If the state convention adopts a platform that has teeth in it and affords the 4!agrunt!ed republicans a chance to express their disgust with Goodrichism at the polls the democrats will carry Indiana this fall. If it does not, then the republicans will continue to rule in Indiana and the democrat* who oppose anything that Would hurt the feelings it the republicans will continue to get the minority plums which they now regard as more desirable than a fight for party principle. NEW WET STORY ON

DEMOCRATIC LINEUP Among the many atories which nro now being circulated concerning precan mention combination* in the democratic party la a report of a conference •aid to hare been held at French Lick recently at tthlch plana are reported to hare been made to nominate James M. Cox of Ohio for president and Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey for tlco president.' This story, sent broadcast from Ncrw Tork, with a decidedly wet flavor, says that the leaders who attended the conference propose to work against the possibility of the nomination of Pres 1 - dent Wilson or William O. McAdoo ana to demand a “wet” plank In the national platform. Among those named as present at the conference and concurlng with Its decision are Wiiliam F. Coombs, former democratic chairman; Charles F. Mur- ■ phy, Tammany loader; George E. Brennan. lieutenant of Roger Sullivan of Illinois; Johnson M. Camden of Kentucky. Charles Boeecheustein of Illinois and Thomas Taggart of Indiana. Mr. Taggart, who is now in Indianapolis confering with democratic leaders about the Indiana convention, has let It be known that he does not favov permitting the wet and dry question to be touched tu In the platform of the Indiaqn state convention. WOMAN'S EQUALITY DEMOCRATIC PROBLEM Does one woman equal three men, or d6 the old, old rules of mathematics apply In democratic polltica as well as elsewhere? This is one of the questions the democratic party of Indiana Is going to solve before the end of the state convention. Recently at a meeting of the state committee which, is rapidly becoming famous It was declared that equal representation must be given women In the makeup of the delegation at large from Indiana to the democratic national convention. The average democrat Interpreted this action as definitely determining that two of the delegates and two of the alternates would be women and there was every Indication that the rather bothersome* question of making up thia delegatiqi had been simplified. But the situation is different now. Br Howto of RVtißsvfße. ttr* state

•chairman, and Edward G. Hoffman of Ft. Wayne, the national committeeman and >=elf constituted director of Indiana democracy, have evolved another theory of what constitutes “equal represent tlon." They hold the opinion that what the committee really meant was that women were equally qualified to be delegates ■ and they do not concede that the committee meant the delegation should be equally divided as to sex. Their Interpretation fits in very well with a plan made several months ago to send Alice Foster McCulloch of Ft. Wayne to San Francisco as the sole representative of the democratic women ,<>t Indiana. It Is the plan which has now ben adopted by Mr. Bosse, and If finds a precedent in the action of the republican j state convention in Ignoring the women entirely on the theory that the convention session would be "too much of a hardship for them.” Which Interpretation of the commit- j tee's ruling will be accepted- remains to j be determined. TAGGART TO SHOI S.DFR Bt RDEJf OF DETERMINING. As usual, the democrats of Indtana will unload the burden of determination on Thomas Taggart. Mr. Taggart haa not yet expressed him self on this point, but. it is known that some time ago he said that he could see no reason why Miss Julia I.anders of Indianapolis should not be a passive candidate for delegate at >argo Miss Landers has been a. passive candidate. it is not on record that she ever I asked Ed Hoffman for permission to run for delegate. Nor Is it a matter of public knowledge that Ben Bosse ever told her she could run. But there la a suspicion that if the old rule of two and two making four obtains In Indiana democracy as elsewhere there will be more than one woman on the In diana delegation to San Francisco.

MARSHALL’S VIEW AGAIN ASSAILED R. C. Minton Declares Wet Talk Contradicts Jefferson. Taking Vice President Marshall to task for an interview he recently gave out on the subject of prohibition, R. O. Mintotj, general couusel for the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, today made public a statement in which he declared the vice president has strayed far from the principles of Jefferson. Saturday Vice President Marshall was severely criticised by Wayne R. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon league at Washington, who called the assertion of the vice president that prohibition would not have received twenty votes behind closed doors, "a deliberate insult to the senate.” "The corner stone of our government.” Mr. Minton said, "Is found in the declaration of independence when it says ’governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.’ “There is no way by which the people may recall their senators if they abuse the power conferred upon them, and in fact if we accept his theory, the people should not be granted the authority to change their senators until thp expiration of their term, even for gross abuse of power. "Before he strays too far afield, he should reread the writings of Thomas Jefferson. “ Tt Is this “egotrsm of their agents" that is feeding the fires of radicalism today. " ’Ours is or should be a government “of the people, by the people and for the people.'* " ’When the egotism of our rulers leads them to ignore the wishes and desires of the majority of the people. It breeds unrest and hostility to government.’ “In recent years more than thirty of cur states have adopted a constitutional provision for the initiative and referendum ns a direct protest against the doctrine promulgated by our distinguished vice president. “Is it possible that we have come to the pass where we hold the brewing business so sacred that their interests must be protected, even though we must break front the wisdom of our great fathers and destroy the foundation upon which our republic has been bailded?" FREIGHT RAISE FAVORED HERE (Continued From Page One.) would result in a considerably lower net Income than the actlai net income reported in 1919. “This is due to the fact that the 1920 level of prices for labor and materials is considerably higher than the average for 1919 MORE ECU IPM ENT NEEDED BV ROADS. "The railroad executives ciatm that they need additional equipment which would coat over J 810.000.000. for IUO.OOO freight cars. 3.000 passenger car*. I.OOU baggage cars and 2,00 engines “In considering the matter of credit for such additional equipment, the general state of the money market and the stand ing of railway securities already outstanding mint be borne In mind “It Is common knowledge that conditions are difficult the whole world over, and will doubtless continue ao for some time, as a result of the world wide economic and financial disturbance brought about by the war. “It is bard to get large amount* of money for new capital purposes, the price is high, and will apparently continue high for a lonf time. t “It stems to ue that the imperative need toflay is for the commission to decide at once what the carrier* need, and then to permit rate* ao as to meet that need. “The country must have efficient railway service.” At the regular monthly meeting of the coal division of the Commercial Credit. Audit and Correct Weights bureau last night a talk on the matter of railroad freight ratea was given by .1. A. Hlmmons, traffic manager of the C., 1. A W., and following the talk a committee was appointed to draw up i.nd send to the Interstate commerce committee a suitable letter along line* somewhat similar to the message that has been sent b> the Indianapolis chamber.
