It is surprising to note the unanimity with which the press of i the State subscribes to Governor Marshall’s views concerning the proposed executive mansion.

Indianapolis. Jan. 29. —Criticising the political trend of the convention of the United Mine Workers of America, James Mooney of Missouri, a member of the national executive board of the organization, opposed a resolution protesting to congress against a repeat of the tariff on coal. Ho said: "The other day you committed this convention to Populism when you recommended the issue of currency instead of Tjonds for payment of the expenses of deepening waterways. Now you have committed it to Socialism by adopting a resolution declaring for public ownership of public utilities. If you protest against the removal of the duty on coal you commit us to Republicanism, and if this happens, I shall introduce something that shall commit you to Bryanism.” Feeling Crops Out. A dispute arose in the course of discussion of the use of a new high power explosive called carbonite, or Mauserite, in the coal mines. President Feehan of the Pittsburg district, charged that he had been ignored by the national executive board when he had asked to be notified of its next meeting place, so that he might present the danger of the use of the new explosive. It was intimated that the ques tion was an acute one and that strikes might result if an -early solution of the problem was ngt arrived at. National President Lewis maintained that Feelian had had notice of the meeting of the board and that it would have considered the matter had it been presented. John Walker of Illinois. Lewis’ rival in the election for the presidency, after declaring that it was quite impossible to hear what was being said by different speakers because of noise being made around hla seat by national organizers of Lewis’ administration, charged that "the same party had averted consideration by the national board of many serious matters within the last year, but he thought that from this time forward there would be a reform In procedure.” Favors Woman’s Suffrage. The resolution to protest against the repeal of the tariff on coal was defeated “ A resolution was adopted advocating woman’s suffrage and calling upon congress to pass an amendment to the constitution ”to be submitted to the legislatures of the. several states for ratification prohibiting the disfran chleement of United States citizens' on account of sex.” Though the tellers of the ballots cast for national officers are using six voting machines in tabulating, it is not expected that they can announce the result of th® count before tomorrow A statement said by President Lewis’ friends to be authoritative was given out that the count had proceeded far enough to show that Lewis' majority over his opponent. John Walker, would be from 15.000 to 20.000 Walker’s friends generally acknowledge that on its face the result of the ballot counting win show a majority for Lewis.
