As to the Indianapolis News.

“The new Democratic State Committee will present a solid front against the Indianapolis News, What more there is to do to the News before it really catches on we do not know at this writing. It has been kicked out of the State House, Court House and City Hall, and now every member of the Democratic State Committee is anti-News.” The above is a clipping from “The Herald,” the Taggart-Fairbanks organ of the machine democrats with headquartersat Indianapolis, Terre Haute and French Lick. The paper is edited and published by the notorious George M. Ray, formerly of Shelbyville, Ind., of whom the people of Indiana have heretofore heard of. The writer has been reading the News for twenty years, and has found it usually on the right side of all public questions and the best edited paper we have ever read. Furthermore, the democrats have won no political victories of note in many years when the News has been against them, except, no doubt, some will claim the recent machine victories as such. It has stood for a higher plane of politics, however, than the gang of political freebooters who oppose it have the mental capacity or honesty to comprehend. In warring on the newspapers the late legislature and the TaggartFairbanks machine is only hastening the day when it will be consigned to the scrap pile for keeps. And that day is not far off, either. But the “Boss” Murphy’s of this machine are not hurting the News any by their “sarkasm” and “non-support,” but on the contrary are boosting it with the great masses of democrats who believe in clean politics and anti-machine rule.

With all the braggart of this btinch of salary-grabbing, office extension and general political pilferer's and bosses, it fears the Indianapolis News and other honest newspapers in the state as the devil does holy water, and like the coward who whistles while passing a graveyard at. night, to keep up his courage, it is shaking in its boots for fear it will be run away from the “crib" before it gets all its pockets filled. It is a good thing for the tax-payers of Indiana that the Indianapolis News and other honest and independent newspapers of the state have the courage and unselfishness to condem what is wrong no matter what brand of politics the wrongdoers pre tagged with. Hon. Wililam A. Morris of Frankfort, was a visitor in Rensselaer a few hours Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Mor: is a candidate for the denio<rj nomination for treasurer of s:r , and says in the announcement of his candidacy that. in addition to bein' thoroughly qualified for the position. hi s county of Clinton has never had a democratic officer in the state house, although in recent years the republicans have had two. Also that the democrats of Clinton county have won in the three last general elections there. There are quite a number of aspirants for this nomination, including ex-Mayor Thomas O’Connor of Monticello, whom the Murphy convention at Hammond endorsed for the place last Monday.

From all parts of the country comes the news of renewed activity in all lines of bn siness and in manufacturing since the new currency bill was passed. At Gary alone several thousand men will be put to work Monday in the steel mills who had recently been laid off. The new currency measure is being hailed all over rhe land as a panacea for any financial ills that may occur in the future. Our national administration is certainly making good, thanks to the strong arm of President Wilson. A well known democrat of northern Newton, writes The Democrat and says: “You have my best wishes in your present fight against dirty politics, and I feel confident that 1 the efforts of yourself and other newspaper men in this connection, will result in much good to the democratic party. I hope' that certain so-called democratic leaders may be brought to see the light in this part 1 of the state before our party is entirely overthrown. A prominent out-township democrat characterizes “Boss” Murphy as the Huerta of the democratic party in the Tenth district.

STATE-WIDE FIGHT TO SAVE PARTY

Democrats From All Over Indiana Call for Freedom From the Bosses. MACHINE RULE DENOUNCED Wilson and Bryan League in Strong Resolutions Demands Fair Methods —Lobbyists Are Flayed. Indianapolis, Dec. 31.—Plans for the thorough organization of every district, county and precinct in the state for the purpose of freeing the democratic party in Indiana from machine rule and building up a decent and constructive party government in which all democrats can participate with pride, were perfected last night at the Claypool hotel by the Wilson and Bryan League of Indiana. This organization which promises to be a very important factor in the fight for a free and unbossed democratic party in Indiana, is to be a permanent affair, and has already marshaled such strength that its success at once in many parts of the state is assured. The organizers of the movement are democrats of such high standing that they command the respect of the people. They are determined to oppose the machine at every turn and to establish the party government of this state in harmony With the Wilson and Bryan policies. “The Indiana Federation of Progressive Democrats” was the name chosen for the preliminary organization, but it was finally decided that a,stronger title would be “The \\ ilson and Bryan League.” The delivery of the democratic party in Indiana from machine rule and bringing it abreast with the progressive policies of Wilson and Bryan were called for by the resolutions. A state-wide primary election Iqw and a constitutional convention were favored.

A significant feature of the resolutions was a criticism of the inter•ference of democratic state organization lobbyists with legislation, “In our party’s record in the field ot state legislation," the resolutions said, “we are not unmindful of the fact that several bills of great merit .were made into law and that a large nercentage of the members of both houses were disposed to serve well the people's interest- when not misled by lobbyists who had occupied Important places of trust in the democratic state organization." The conference held at the Claypool hotel last night was not called as a convention, was not advertised, and no effort was made to obtain a large crowd. It was attended by about sixty-five democrats representing every congressional district in Indiana, a much larger number than had been expected. The business of the meeting was to get an organization started, and a convention and banquet will be held in Indianapolis soon at the call of the executiye Committee.

Albert J. Veneman, of Evansville, former speaker of the Indiana house of representatives, is chairman of the executive committee, and Edward B. Rauh, of Indianapolis, is vice-chairman. The mayor of Washington, Second district: M. C. Brown, Salem, Third district; Nick Cornet, Lawrenceburg, Fourth district: J. S. McFadden, Rockville, Fifth district; E. C. Farris, Fountain City. Sixth district: Dee R Jones. Crawfordsville, Ninth district: Judge Lawrence Becker, Hammond, Tenth district: J. M. Wallace, Peru, Eleventh district: H. C. Case, Lagrange, Twelfth district, and Charles Weidler, South Bend, Thirteenth district. Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Kirby will work with t!he executive committee. Mr. Weidler was a member of the last Indiana house of representatives, and is one of the most able leaders of the forward-looking movement’ among the democrats. He was one of the first men to “sjtart the ba|l rolling,” and it was due largely to his efforts that a preliminary conference in South Bend resulted in the state-wide conference in Indianapolis. He was the first Speaker called on last night by Richard B. Kirby, of Indianapolis, chairman of the meeting, and made one of the most effective addresses for a democratic house cleaning in Indiana. The organization committee, which will perfect plans for. organization in every precinct, is composed of Jesse E. Wade, Mt. Vernon; Dr. Fej'ermuth, South Bend; J, C. O’Connor, Delphi; J. A. Bell, Elkhart; Bernard O’Connor, Indianapolis; W. A. Hammond, mayor-elect of Peru; State Senator Bernard B. Shively, Marion; C. Y. Andrews, of Peru, and

James K. Risk, Lafayette. Other committees are: Advisory committee—John W. Boehne, former mayor of Evansville, and former congressman from the First district; W. V. Rooker, Noblesville; State Representative Earl Crawford, Milton; Pink East, Worthington, and Richard B. Kirby, Indianapolis.

Frank Ewing; Shelbyville; Dee Crawfordsville; Dr. J. WN. Klotz, Noblesville; J. H. McGill, Valparaiso; Bernard B. Shively, Marion; H. C. Case, Lagrange, and Samuel Committee on primary law—John R. Jones, Plymouth; John W. Holtzman, Indianapolis; Cyrus E. Davis, Bloomfield; Charles Spencer, Monticello, and Gideon Blain, Indianapolis. Bernard E. O Connor, of Indianapolis, was elected permanent secretary of the organization, and he was empowered to call committee meetings. Plenty, of the spirit of fight against the democratic state machine owned by the Taggart-Fairbanks combination and its numerous subsidiaries was manifested in the speeches made at the meeting. But nearly all of the speakers emphasized the need of constructive work as well as an attack on the machine. The speakers were Mr. Weidler, of South Bend; John W. Holtzman, former mayor of Indianapolis; J. A. Bell, of Elkhart; Bernard B. Shively, of Marion: Judge Lawrence Becker, of Hamniond: Albert J. Veneman and John W. Boehne, of Evansville; W. A. Hammond, of Peru; C, Y. Andrews, Peru; J. C. O'Connor, of Delphi; J. Kirby Risk, of Lafayette, Edward Barker, of Indianapolis; W. V. Rooker, of Noblesville, and Mr. Kirby, chairman of the meeting. Strong resolutions outlining the working policies and the beliefs of the Wilson and Bryan League of Indiana were adopted. The resolutions were drawn by a committee composed of Veneman, Weidler, Crawford. McGill and Becker.
