OLD HEMS IN DEMOCRATIC RANK . FEELING SHAKY See Organization at Own Throats and Charges Go Fluttering, By Times Special NEW YORK. June 23.—0n the day before the battle wise old Democratic leaders are shaking their heads in sorrow. They gazed upon an organization rapidly tearing itself to pieces over issues they had hoped to keep out of the campaign. They witnessed a civil war within the party of an intensity and bitterness that offers little hope of healing before November —and all concerning questions that have nothing to do with the coming contest with the Republican party. The sheeted hobgoblin of the KuKlux Klan and the bleary-eyed ghost of John Barley Corn are about to dance the dance of death over the party’s 1924 prospects, these wise old Democrats feel. Following the Republican convention, they had heaved a sigh of relief. The Republicans had raised neither the Klan nor the liquor issue. Democratic leaders believed a winning campaign could be waged against Coolidge and his platform with little more than raising the banner of "old-fashioned democracy"—or, if conditions compelled it, the banner of the newprogressive democracy. Picture Gone That picture is gone. They reckoned without New York City. They reckoned without Tammany and they reckoned without Wall Street. s New York has a candidate and wants to elect him. Tammany has undertaken the job. True to Tammany methods, the first move has bene to eliminate, if possible, the chief rival and to eliminate him by any means possible. So the Klan issue has been raised against MeAdoo. Knowing notohing about the Klan, except what they read in their own newspapers, the New Yorkers have pitched in merrily until the noise of their onslaught has drowned out all else. Unaware, apparently, that every time they kill a Klansman they kill a Democrat—at least, so far as 1924 is concerned—they are wallowing gleefully in the gore they’ve spilled. On the wet issue, carefully avoided by the Coolidge convention, the course of the New Yorkers has been equally reckless. They want their booze back and they don't care who knows it. They are going after it in a manner that leaves Western and Southern Democrats, who know the dynamite that lies in the liquor question, utterly aghast. Conservative vs. Conservative So much for what Tammany has to date. As f>r Wall its course impresses the old-time Democrats as equally disastrous so far as party success is inolved, but considerably more intelligent from Wall Street's standpoint. The financial district, as always, wants the most conservative candidate it can get. Its ideal of a campaign is a Democratic conservative running against a Republican conservative. Hence Wall Street is heartily in accord with all efforts to kill McAdoo's boom. McAdoo is progres-

Jlfel rr :P' * f**sl J&&& *>?&&** f Every Day the Same Old Backache? HOUR after hour, day in and day out, that dull, unceasing throb? Are you tortured with sharp, stabbing twinges—so lame, weak, all tired-out you just can’t enjoy a moment of the fine summer weather? What, then, is wrong? Too often it’s because your kidneys are not properly filtering harmful poisons from the blood. Nerves and blood are upset by these toxins—then comes a host of ills. Your back aches; is lame and stiff. You are apt to have headaches, dizziness and distressing kidney irregularities, too. Don’t let this unhappy condition go on! Summer, of all times, should find you at your best. And delay may prove serious. Use Doan’s Pills. Doan’s are a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys and have helped thousands. Ask your nighbor! “Use Doan’s,’ Say These Indianapolis Folks:

General Eubanks, blacksmith, 1427 Oliver Are., says: "My back hurt me terribly and every time 1 stopped, I could hardly straighten ’■•-cause of the sharp pains. My kidneys acted too frequently. I got Doan's Pills at Withers’ Drug Store and they rid me of the ailment.”

Builds Platform

Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Democratic committee on resolutions, shown drawing up the party platform. sive. If killing off McAdoo means killing off the Democratic chances this year, it makes no difference to the financial district. Coolidge will do as well as a conservative Democrat. So the business interests have been doing intelligently here what excited New York politicians have been doing blindly. Their spokesmen—from all sections of the country—have not joined in the antiKlan furore without Wall Street's approval. Bryan on Morals Meantime McAdoo and a few others have been endeavoring to raise the real issues on whether Republicay party can be successfully opposed this year. Bryan has been trying to inject the moral issue, Newton D. Baker, the international isfrne, and Carl S. Vrooman the agricultural issue. McAdoo, raising the economic issue, has had a little success. Last night he put forth, to an audience of frenzied personal followers, a platform of principles. Because he is the candidate with the largest number of pledged delegates and because all the fight thus far has been made around his name, he got attention, momentarily at least., for the following planks: 1. To rid the Government of special privilege, coruption and graft and to prosecute ail officials and civilians guilty of cheating the Government. • 2. To remove the influence of invisible Government from the Treasury and the Federal reserve system. 3. The repeal the Fordney-Me-Cumber tariff and substitute one that will help reduce the cost of living. 4. To repeal obnoxious features of the Esch-Cummins railroad law

Mrs. Carl Umbenhauer. 71.1 X. Pine St., says: "My kidneys were weak and 1 h:.d severe backache that made it hard Tor mo, to stoop. Mornings I felt dull and sluggish. My kid neys acted irregularly, too. I got Doan’s Pills ar Mueller’s Drug Store, and they relieved me.” The above statement was given on Sept. 21. 1922. and on Nov. 2. 1923. Mrs. I'mbetihauer said: “I haven't been troubled with my kidneys since Doan s Pills cured me."

and set up railroad reforms that will cut transportation costs and insure the operation of the railroads for the benefit of the country. 5. Lower freight rates for farm products and development of foreign markets for our surplus crops. 6. To end isolation from foreign affairs. To reduce armaments to the lowest point compatible with national safety. 7. To protect and develope na tional waterpower resources. 8. To abolish ch'ld labor and establish equality of rights, civil, economic and social, for women. 9. To practice genuine economy in Government and reduce taxes to the lowest oinl consistent with efficient Government and justice to public employes. 10. To vigorously enforce all laws.

CANAL BRIDGES INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY c The above photographs show the types of bridges constructed by the Indianapolis Water Company across its Canal. These bridges Mere built under plans approved by the Board of Public Works and the City Civil Engineer. , They are liberal in width, conforming to the width of roadway on either side of the Canal. The bridges were designed to carry the heaviest interurban ears, where the bridge is crossed by traction cars, and to carry 20-ton trucks, where thefre are no street car tracks—all with a liberal margin of safety. All bridges constructed by the Indianapolis Water Company are either reinforced concrete or heavy steel girders incased in concrete, with the exception of the loth Street Bridge, which is a steel bridge with an asphalt roadway on a concrete base. ♦ „ [ According to, a Supreme Court decision, it is the duty of the Indianapolis Water Company to build and maintain bridges across the Canal where highways existed at the time of the establishment of the Canal. The Water Company has now replaced all of '-he old bridges at such highways, with permanent bridges of the types shown. INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY ‘
