THE REAL ISSUE

The issue that is presented to the,] present legislature is not one between the democrats and the republicans. Rather the quarrel is between the democrats of 1 ndiana,' thousands of whom voted for the republican Marion county, and the machine that would use the partv lor its own selfish purposes, Had it not been for that machine there is probably not an office in this county not today be filled by a democrat. But tor the arrogance oi the machine the. probability is that everj'" democratic candidate for congress wi uld have been elected last November. In’plain language, the party’s only formidable foes are those of its own household. The republicans, far from being distressed, are delighted with the present situation. The News has no other wish than to make both parties as responsive as possible to the public will. What the democrats have to decide, therefore, is whether their party shall be the party of the people or the party of the machine. On the answer to that question the political complexion of this state, may depend for a generation. , We desire to speak with the utmost kindness and charity, and yet with entire frankness. The people of this state are not going ip turn the government over to the men that now control—or are seeking to control the democratic party. And yet these men are, with a stupidity that is magnificent, seeking, to speak to and through the .legislature for the people of Indiana. We.doubt whether there has ever been in American politics a more splendid exhibition of impudence. No men have ever done more than these to weaken and discredit the democratic party. And yet they are today insisting that loyalty to the party consists-in loyalty to them. The democrats of Indiana ... are asked to accept party wreckers as the only party leaders’ And loyalty to party is interpreted as loyalty to the men whose devotion to the party is measured only by their ability to make it serve their selfish purposes. The question is Therefore, solely a party question. Indianapolis News.

Still Disrupting His Party.

The Hammond News says that an effort is being made to oust the republican ~ . postmaster, Charles Daughterly, at Crown Point, whose commission does not expire until March, 1916. Of course Congressman Peterson’s time is very short in office now and he no doubt wants to

get . a machine henchman in the office before his term as congressman ends. Postmaster Charles Hampton of Fowler, who also had one year more to serve, has resigned by request and Theodore Hoss, former county chairman, has been appointed in his stead.. As a machine politician, a disrupter of his party and in ignoring all former precedent in his district, of permitting postfnasters to serve out the term of their commissions,, Mr. Peterson has been a howling success as a congressman. But if he has done anything else of any note we have never seen any eudon of it. •

His successor, Congressman-elect Will. R. Wood, who was in Washingion last week, went over to the agricultural departement, says a dispatch from Washingion, and demanded that the federal quarantine of the foot nd mouth disease humbug be raised in this . district. Tills is of rhore real benefit to the farmers, stockmen and the business hit. rests of the district than all that ’ I t ter.-on has accomplished during the two years he has been in office. And Mr. Wood won’t take office until next March, either. 'i he antiquated mileage law of the Indiana legislature should also be •giv> n some attention as well as that in our congress. State, senators and representatives in our legislatureare allowed 10c per mile each way or traveling expenses, when as a matter of fact the actual cost is but 2c per mile. Representative W, L. Wood of Parr, draws $50.40 mileage, when the actual cost to him—this mileage is supposed to be for but one round trip—is less than $7. Why don’t some anti-graft legislator immortalize himself by proposing a law to do away with this mileage graft in our legislature? “: | • • — — ■ County Chairman John W. Gavit o‘ Hammond, a very ‘ partjcular friend of our “Boss” Murphy, (has succeeded in getting another son of< his on the state pay roll. Mr. Gavit has one son in the employ of the public utilities commission and now another son has been appointed to a clerkship in the state senate.
