Indiana is the only state in the union which has a solid delegation of college bred men in the two houses of congress. Heretofore Massachusetts ranked highest in that particular. Of Massachusetts fourteen representatives in the present congress ten are college bred and four are not. In New York twenty are college bred and seventeen are not, but Indiana is the only one that has a solid delegation that is college bred.—Ex.

The Independent desires to go on record with the prediction that a special session of the legislature will not be called. If, however, one is called, there will be revelations that will land more than one Indiana statesman in the penitentiary, and the state officials now under fiie will not be among them. There will be a “house cleaning” not half as pleasing to Hanly as his efforts to crush Sherrick and Storms have been. —Indianapolis Independent.

A call has been issued for the meeting of the Democratic State committee at the Grand Hotel, March 12, for the purpose of se lecting permanent headquarters for the Democrats during the coming campaign, and also to decide upon a date for the Democratic State convention. Temporary headquarters at the Grand have been opened by Democratic State Chairman William H. O'Brien and Secretary Joseph Reilly. Mr. O’Brien will not be there all the time between now and March 12, but the committee rooms will be in the charge of Secretary Reilly.

Secretary of State Daniel E Storms will get out; his friends among the railroad interests who fared a special session to oust him from office and incidentally the passage of a 2-oent fare law are said to have brought influences to bear on him to resign. Therefore he has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted by the governor, to take effect April 1, and Fred Sims, republican candidate for the nomination for the office, has been appointed to succeed him. Storms agrees to refund $6,310.41 of the State’s money, which be is alleged to have wrongfully taken, as a part of the pact by which he is to vamoose. Hanly says there is a great and growing demand for a 2cent fare on the railroads and other legislation, and he may yet call a special session of the legislature, to enact such measures. Come to The Democrat office for all kinds of job printing.

HOT TIME ATELECTION

In 1903 Mayor Hays, the present Republican incumbent, received a majority of 7,371. Since that time three new wards have been added to the city. Was a Red Hot Campaign. The campaign throughout had been one of vituperation and recrimination, and charges of crookedness emanated from both sides almost hourly. Wholesale arrests were made during the last days of the campaign for repeatingand colonization, lodging houses were raided, and men carrying illegal tax receipts were hustled »to the police stations. The day was characterized by many tights at polling places, and in two districts the election boards were haled into court, charged with refusing to allow negroes to vote. Their Prayers of No Avail. George B. Logan, the candidate for mayor of the Good Government patty in Allegheny, was defeated by his opponent, and the present incumbent, Charles F. Kirschler, Republican, was elected.

The annual battle between the freshmen and sophomores of DePauw university was fought on Central campus, and the freshman class won its accustomed victory. It was a case of almost two to one at all times during the melee, and the freshmen had a guard around the tree on which the colors were hung almost as large as the complete sophomores attacking forces. The scrap occurred i» an area 200 feet in diameter, and the spectators were kept back from the contest, so that a good view of the battle was had. The crowd numbered nearly 1,000, and citizens contributed largely to the number. Not a Drop of Gore Spilled. The sophomores charged from ths basement of east college and encountered the freshmen after a run of 100 yards. It was a matter of only a few minutes for the freshmen to get their opponents down. The secondary body of sophomores attacked from the side, entering the area from the crowd of spectators, and there followed a quick rally of freshmen, thus preventing the attack being successful. From that time on the only diversion was furnished by secondary scraps. The feature of rhe scrap was that no one was hurt, nor was a drop of blood spilled. ■ Same Story at Bloomington. Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 23. The freshmen and sophomores of Indiana university held the track meet, after which the color rush took place around one of the maple trees in front of Kirkwood hall.
