The consolidated pool is owned and operated by Indianapolis men who have been permitted by the Indianapolis authorities to conduct the busi ness without molestation evdr since the “consolidation was brought about.

Prior to the consolidation, which took place about the time the anti-Jewett faction of the Republican party was proving dangerous to the administration control of the county organization, there were several independent baseball pools being conducted surreptitiously in the city. When the “consolidated" pool was started the selling of pools became so open that the whole police force got Interested In them and the activities of one of the administration's police captains became so great that it was rumored he was conducting the pool.

No attempt has been made by the police or the prosecutor’s office to stop the gambling since the consolidation apd the privileged manner lu which the Consolidated • company has been permitted to operate Is regarded gererally by politicians as a direct result of the assistance given the Jewett administration in its fight for control of the coun ty organization. It is understood that a large part of this assistant came from Democratic sources, and it is known that in many precincts in lnd'anapolis the primary returns were crooked at the last primary.

Wilson cited statistics comparing the packing industry with other lines.

WAR HOUSE OF FRANCE SAID TO BE IN ORDER Andre Le Fevre Says Nation Ife Ready for Any Eventuality. ARMY IS MOBILIZABLE PARIS, Sept. 13.—Having taken the position that she must reserve entire liberty of action whenever her own interests are endangered, France now has her military house in ordeVto n> et any eventuality from any quarter. This was explained today by Ar.dre Le Fevre, minister of war, in an interview dealing with the measures he has taken since he assumed office Jan. 21. “Some people say that I am a rnantnc on the subject of probable aggression,” declared the war minister. “They say that i finish all my speeches in the same manner: 'I am minister of war and if 1 were the only one to say it, it is my duty to repeat that anew war is possible and not to omit to repeat It.’ "Very well, I shall continue to say it. Peaceful though \\e are, i will not cease to repeat it. What man of good sense among our allies and among our dear friends In America can believe we are going to risk the magnificent fruits of victory upon some alleged plan of imperialism Whereby We would lose at the same time melr esteem, friendship nnd support ? DIDN'T HAVE LIBERTY OF ACTION. “When I took over the ministry of war we did not have liberty of action. The French army doubtless conserved Its excellent morale and the line units were well trained, but there was a dangerous lack of ammunition, the manufacture of which 'nau been Interrupted since the armistice by the return to permanent industry of establishments devoted to making munitions during the war. "Furthermore, not only were mobilize Hon centers badly reconstructed following hasty demobilization, but no plan of transport by rail had been definitely worked out. This is a circumstance which would have caused the greatest difficulties In case es sudden trouble. "fn a word, the French army at the beginning of'this year was not raoblllzable. DISMAYED at POH KRI.KSSNESS. “When 1 arrived at the ministry of war I was dismayed at the relative powerlessness In which we found ourselves following the great >*elebration of peace. All my efforts immediately Were directed in tils sense Inward finding remedies. “Reorganization of the railway, of the telephone service and the resumption of normal manufacture of munitions especially attracted my attention. "Machinery was soon again in motion. <>n April 6, when German Impudence forced us to occupy five Rhineland cities, we were ready. It was at this time that the French army really again be came mobilized. Wc had now recuperated all our possibilities of action. “Blrne then things have been getting better all the time."

"I think, however, that many of these young women who are thus enrolled as Republicans will in the secrecy of the vothing tiooth vote the Democratic ticket at the election."

“The administration of Government functions can be put on economical and efficient basis," Cox declared. “Throughout my public life I have been interested in the organization and administration of Governm?nt activities along approved business lines, or, in ether words, in securing the maximum of effectiveness with the minimum of expense, and [ am convinced from my own personal experience, as well as the experience of other States, that it can be done. “The demands of war,” said Cox, “brought to us necessity for departmental addition and extension ft Washington. “We must see to it at once that the failure of the last Congress is remedied as quickly as possible. “Not only must we junk the machinery that came with war, must repeal the burdensome war taxes and definitely reduce the cost of government in normal times. NECESSITY SHOWN FOB BUDGET SYSTEM. "Our pre-war experience has already shown the necessity for adopting the budget system as the basis of public finnnee. "Our experience during the war demonstrated that we should not longer delay in applying it to the national government." The Governor then pledged himself, if elected, to ask Congress for authority to appoint a budget commissioner, “to act m ihe position of an executive assistant j to the president." I The present “hit or miss" method of appropriating money, the governor said, has resulted in extravagance and waste on one hand or governmental inefficiency on the other hand, and appropriation* are usually cut arbitrarily at the dictates of political expediency.” Overlapping of governmental Imre*us, the Governor charged, is also a prolific source of waste and inefficiency. There are. he said, fourteen distinct offices in the Federal establishment dealing with foreign trade, sixteen offices having to do with compiling statistical ' information and sixty-four having to do with educational activity. WOULD ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY BUREAUS. Strictly service sections of government should be co-ordinated under one general head. Cox said, and unnecessary bureaus eliminated. [ Gov. Cox discussed the league of Naj Hons from the point of view of material results to the nation and insisted that no readjustment worth while can come under reactionary guidance. Service men, the Governor suggested, might be repaid for their sacrifices by being permitted to share in lands of the West, hundreds of thousands of square miles of which, he said, could be J reclaimed with money saved on armament. A well-planned process of development of Alaska, he said, should go hand in hand with the reopening of our western gateways to commerce. The Governor spoke this morning at the armory in Salem, returning ’to l Portland by interurban for the meeting in the auditorium at noon and another address to an audience of women in the afternoon. The Governor’s voice showed considerable improvement as a result of his rest Sunday and the treatment of the throat specialists who went with him te Salem. It was announced, however, that upon physicians’ orderl he will not make any 1 more rear platform addresses nnd all : outdoor speeches scheduled for Idaho, 1 Utah and Nevada have been cancelled.
