CONVENTION OF DEMOCRATS NAS , WARM PROSPECTS Eight Candidates for Governor Prepare for Battle for Prize. The Democratic State convention this year is arousing more interest than any in the last twenty years, according to statement of leaders today. With the Ku-Klux Klan and the direct primary law as the main issues candidates were building their fences along these lines in the last week before the “big show," June 4-5. That the Democratic convention will be a militant one is indicated by the optimism and determination cf the eight candidates for Governor. | all of whom have declared they will j fight for the nomination. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, plurality candidate in the primary, declared Friday he would force the Klan issue at the convention and throughout the campaign if nominated. Jackson Confident Omcr S. Jackson, tireless campaign manager for McCulloch and who proved to be the sage among j the managers in his pre-primary predictions, declared Friday McCulloch would go before the convention with safe majority of the delegates. Backing of the Indiana Township ■Trustees Association which so near"ly put Edgar D. Bush over for Lieutenant Governor against Harold Van Orman in the Republican convention, it is said will go to Senator Joseph Cravens, Madison, for Governor in the Democratic convention. Other candidates however, claim the support of the trustees is not as a unit. Approximately ninety of the trustees are delegates to the convention. That the Ku Klux Klan will take I part in the convention was assured today when Olin R. Holt, Kokomo attorney. whose race in the primary was the surprise of the contest, was seen in conference with Walter C. Bossert, grand dragon of the Klan. Bossert was at Holt headquarters, room 889, at the Claypool. Holt Claims 409 Holt claims 409 delegates, but also declares he is not a Kalnsman nor a Klan candidate. Although Dale J. Crittenberger, Anderson, ran fifth in the primary, his friends promise a surprising strength of delegates on the convention floor. Fred Van Nuys, local attorney, will deliver the keynote address at the convention. Other speakers will be Mrs. A. P. Flynn, Logansport, vice chairman of the State centra! committee; John McFadden, Rockport. and United States Senator SamM. Ralston, presidential probability. McFadden also is permanent chairman of the convention. The publicity committee of the Ra.lston-for-President-Oiub has issued sn attractive twenty-page phamplet setting out the life history of the Hoosier Senator. The committee is composed of Meredith Nicholson. Hoosier author; John K. Jennings, Mrs. John W. Kern, Mrs. Grace Julian Clark and Frederick Van Nuys. Taggart Coming Tom Taggart, Democratic wheel horse, is expected in Indianapolis next week. U. S. Senator James E. Watson left for Washington Friday night. Before leaving he declared he made no slate of candidates with David C. Stephenson, grand dragon of the Klan. for the Republican convention. Watson's statement was in answer to a charge made by Bossert that; "Senator Watson can’t go down the line with D. C. Stephenson and at the same time go down the line with Dr. Evans and me." Stephenson declared Bossert was a “poor sport” in not taking his defeat without opening up-the “crying room.”

LLOYD GEORGE HAS NEW HOPE (Continued From Page. 1) many. To put on taxes in order to let Germany off some of her reparations payments cannot add to the popularity of a government in France. And yet, as a result Os the recent elections, a government willing to pay legitimate claims in Germany can only command a small and doubtful majority, and a governmei\t in France which is prepared to forego excessive claims can only hope, at bpst. to be supported steadily by an insignificant and precarious majority. Business Would Settle In spite, of these adverse conditions, there are elements that make for settlement in both countries. The majority, such as it is, in Germany and France alike, is prepared to accept the experts’ report. But there are other propitious circumstances which afford encouragement. In Germany, “big business" wants to settle. Happily, the first two years of the working of the experts’ proposals do not impose heavy obligations on German finance. In politics. no part of the community takes such short views as business men. I have seen them recently in a state of black panic at the prospect of a labor government coming in to destroy capital and a week later, after the Socialist government had actually been formed, in a state of exuberant confidence over its moderation. They were wrong in both their moods. Nevertheless, one must reckon on the business temperament. In Gemranx, it looks at the report and sees two years of tranquillity purchased by a bearable tribute. It trusts to luck as to what will happen when the annuities thicken later on. So German business leaders are all for acceptance of the experts' report, and their support will count more to a government that has to find cash than even a steadfast party majority. Since this report is further strengthened by the anxiety of the German Catholics to effect a peaceable settlement of the reparations problem, a conciliatory policy has a better chance of success than the figures of the German elections would indicate. Two Nations in France When one comes to the French elections, the elements of hope are even more evident. In an exceptionally powerful article, dealing with the French results, which appeared in The Spectator, over the name of Mr. St. Loe Strachey, he dwells on the historical fact that In France you have two nations, “the nation of Richelieu, of Louts XIV, of Napoleon—a nation of glory and grandeur, of political and military greatness, of aggression and domination. Opposed to it in every part and section of France, and perhaps

also in every French heart, is another and wholly different nation — a nation of peaceful ease and quiet living, a nation of toiling, land-lov-ing, land-hungering peasants, a nation of ‘bon bourgeois.’ ” And dealing with the policy of Poincare, he writes: “Whatever may have been the personal views of that man of steel and phosphorus, of denaturalised blood and mechanical heartbeats, M. Poincare was the instrument of those who dream the dreams of and Louis XIV, of Napoleon and of Talleyrand.” (ash Test Fails The French ejections were a defeat for that policy. There was an uneasy feeling throughout France that it had conspicuously failed in its avowed object. M. Poincare submitted it in advance to a cash test and wh<fn he proposed a 20 per cent increase in taxation, he supplied his own answer. The French peasant is the most practical person on earth and the schedules of the tax gatherer were more effective with him thatn all the threadbare perorations of his premier. It is not merely that increased taxation is always unpopular. In this instance it was a concrete admission of failure. M. Poincare occupied the Ruhr in order to endow Germany with the will to pay more than she had ever paid to the complacent M. Mlllerabd and the pliable M. Briand. France had to pay “on account of” Germany, owing to the weakness of M. Poincare’s predecessors. He would make Germany disgorge her hidden riches and thus lighten the burden of the poor French taxpayer. He has be*4n in the Westphalian coalfields for fifteen months. At the end of It, France has received lees "on account of” reparations than in the easy going days of M. Briand, and to save French credit from a

a formidable weapon, as the Germans know, to their cost, but it costs far too much to move about and although it has a destructive effect upon the armies of the enemy, it has an equally devastating effect upon the bank balance of its friends. After the cost of collection in the Ruhr is deducted from the price of the coal sweepings sent by the Regie to France, there will not be much left for reparations. M. Herriot, the new leader of French democracy, has the memory of this demonstrable failure of the policy of force to which he can appeal when he puts into operation a policy of negotiation. He has thus a distinct advantage over M. Briand when the latter tried negotiation at Cannes. It was inevitable that the policy of logical violence should be tried. It is lucky that the experiment is over without producing a catastrophe. In reckoning the chances, there are two other favorable elements of the first importance to take into consideration. Belgium has had enough of a policy of costly bluster and America has had enough of a policy of humiliating aloofness. As the success of the first expert move depends on an international loan, a change in American policy is vital. And as Belgium has the first cut of that loan, the experts’ report is a welcome document to Belgian eyes, ears and hearts. Taking everything into account, all the determining conditions are so helpful that nothing but bad handling can muddle the settlement. I'ersonali •, I view the prospect with much hop .
