MARSHALL CHOSEN TO OPEN CAMPAIGN

Governor Selected to Fire First ~ Democratic Gun in Indianapolis Late in September. . OTHERS TO FOLLOW AT ONCE Failure of All Republican District i ' ' ■ Conventions to Indorse G. Q. P. State Convention is Noted. (BY GUERNSEY VAN RIPER.) Indianapolis Governor Marshall will open the Indiana campaign for the Democratic party. The opening speech will be delivered in Indianapolis, in Tomlinson .Hall, late in September, the date not having yet been, decided. These plans have been determined by the Democratic leaders, U. S. Jackson, State chairman, having had a conference on the matter with Governor Marshall. Governor Marshall’s speech will be In the nature of a “keynote” and will present the issues of the campaign In a forceful manner. The Governor’s popularity and his ability to present his ideas in a clear and convincing way make him admirably adapted to the task that he has accepted. After the Governor’s speech the speaking campaign, will be on in ear nest, and will reach every corner of Indiana. John W. Kern and Senator Shively will get into the campaign immediately fellow ing the Governor’s speech, and will be kept busy by the* speakers’ bureau, of which Bert Hendreh is chairman.

Committeemen All Eager. “When the precinct committeemen show such enthusiasm and a disposition to work,” said Chairman Jackson yesterday, “there can be no doubt of the result. Their activity is a guarantee that the full Democratic vote will bq cast. With this guarantee, Democratic success is assured. Success is in their hands. If there is a disposition to be indifferent or overconfident, there is danger ahead. But this is not the case with ihe Democrat' ic committeemen. They realize the responsibility that rests upon them. They are eager and willing —and they are'not overconfident. Overconfidence Is a fatal error, and it is not going to be one our faults this year. We aio confident that we will win, but we know we must work, and work we will.” The State board of election commissioners has organized and is down to business. Governor Marshall is a member by virtue of his office, and was elected president. Each State chairman is entitled to appoint one member of the board. Chairman Jackson appointed M. M. Bacheleder, a well-known Indianapolis attorney, to represent the Democrats, and Chairman Lee named Charles O. Roemler, of Indianapolis, for the Republicans. Organized labor was recognized in the organization of the board, the position of clerk going to Everett W. McGinnis, president of the Central Labor Union here, and a member of the Typographical Union. Mr. McGinnis has long been identified with the cause of labor, and has been active in various movements looking to the betterment of its condition. Mr. McGinnis’s appointment was through the Democratic members of the board, they constituting a majprity.

BEVERIDGE’S LEAD IGNORED.

Not One District Patterns After Senator’s “Insurgent” State Convention. If Senator Beveridge has looked the situation fairly and squarely in the face since his recent return from a summer in New Hampshire, he. must admit to himself that Indiana has failed by a thousand miles to follow the lead which he set in the Republican State convention early last spring. : 1 It is a matter of fact that not one single district has affirmed the radical utterances of the State platform which were inspired by Senator Beveridge. The district conventions of the Republicans are practically completed, and in not one of them has there been adopted resolutions along the lines laid down by the State convention. Taking the State district by district, Indiana is not in Senator Beveridge’s class as an “insurgent.” It is a remarkable situation that Senator Beveridge has come home to face. The State convention is usually held early in the year, so that it may set the pace for the district conventions, and by its platform may indicate to them the proper lines to fpllow. Ttys was done this year. The convention was Senator Beveridge’s own little party, just as much as if he had sent out invitations for an informal meeting in his home. He controlled it absolutely. His convention speech was radical from first to last, and he 'flayed the real Republicans and the Payne tariff. It was after this speech that he telegraphed to friends in Washington that he had just “kicked the stomach off * the Payne bill.” Then the Senator hurried out to New Hampshire, .where he has re* mained ever since. In his absenc4. every district in the State, with the exception of the Third and Fourth, which are hopelessly Democratic, haa

held its convention and adopted resolutions. But there have been no more Republican feet planted in the stomach of the tariff bill. The Seventh and the Eleventh congressional districts have always been regarded as peculiarly Beveridge districts. What’s the matter with them? The Eleventh is for the tariff which Senator Beveridge derided with his boot—and the Seventh has not had the courage to declare itself. The Seventh is in an embarrassing position. It is the alleged home of Senator Beveridge, and the only explanation that can be offered for its silence is that its voice, should it speak, would be raised against the Senator. Linton A. Cox, Of Indianapolis, is the congressional nominee. He has never indicated his personal views. There is nothing but silence —of the kind that is more painful than words. In other districts there have been good, hard fights over the resolutions, but the tariff, either directly or indirectly, was always indorsed. On the other hand, the words of praise accorded Senator Beveridge were carefully framed, and never, in a single case, have they referred to his votes on the tariff. He has been indorsed as a “splendid and eloquent speaker” and in many other meaningless phrases, while there have been ringing encomimums of President Taft —who said the Payne tariff was the “best ever.” It resolves itself into this: The tariff has been praised in every district convention, and there has not been a syllable of praise for Senator Beveridge as an “insurgent.”

SEES UNUSUAL INTEREST.

John W. Kern Finds People of Indiana Interested, Despite “Off-Year.” Considering the fact that it is an "off year,” the present interest in political issues and the campaign, as it is slowly getting under way, is unusual. This is the opinion of John W. Kern, Democratic nominee for United States Senator. Mr. Kern recently returned from Michigan, where be spent part of the summer resting and making his campaign plans. On his way home he made an informal speech at Auubrn, Ind., and since then he has spoken informally in four other cities in different sections of the State. "In my visits to these sections of the State,” said Mr. Kern, “I found every one remarkably interested in the political situation. It is rather unusual for the people to be so much interested in an off year, that Is, at a time when there is no presidential election. But we have an unusual situation, and this, perhaps, accounts for the present conditions. Ever since Congress adjourned the tariff debate has continued. It did not end with the passage of the Payne bill. The people then took it up and have not dropped it for one moment since. This has, perhaps, been the chief cause of the interest in political matters, although the extravagance of the late billion-dollar Congress is receiving much attention.

“Then the split between the real Republicans and the ‘insurgents’ has been another factor, growing, of course, out of the tariff agitation. The fight on Joseph G. Cannon has been prominent in this warfare and has whetted the public interest. The newspapers have been filled from day to day with the great quarrel that is disturbing the Republican party. The Ballinger, Plnchot and Garfield controversies have been followed closely, so that political affairs are uppermost In the minds of readers of newspapers. “These conditions have certainly not worked to the detriment of the Democratic cause. Everywhere I have found Democrats enthusiastic and confident. But they are not idle. They believe we will win, but they knbw we must work.”

ROOKER’S VIEWS EXPLAINED.

Once Defeated for Nomination, He Now Criticises Democrats.

Some of the motives which inspired William V. Rooker, of Noblesville, to confide cently his “fear” that the Democratic party was doomed to defeat in Indiana unless it followed his advice, are shown in an editorial printed in the Hamilton County Times, a Democratic newspaper published at Noblesville. It shows that Mr. Rooker is merely a disappointed office-seeker, and that If it had been the will of the convention, he would have been glad to run for office on the very platform which he now denounces. The Times says: “There is no reason why Mr. Rooker, as a citizen, should not have his opinions and express them on any subject. He is also at liberty as a Democrat to have opinions on party policy, and he has a perfect right to express them through the press of the State, but he does not have the right to mislead the people of Indiana by proclaiming that he is one of the leading Democrats of Hamilton county, and as such take issue with his party about a plank in the platform made by a convention in which he sought a nomination and which was good enough for him to go into the. contest for a place on the ticket with the platform principles already set out. “That Mr. Rooker is not a leading Democrat of Hamilton county was attested in the last Democratic State convention, when he was a candidate for supreme judge, and only three delegates of Hamilton county cast their votes for him. He is wholly without influence in the party In his home county, and his actions and talk have long ago placed him outside the ranks of the Democratic party.”
