DEMOCRATIC NEWS LETTER.

ißy Lew Ellingham.]

Indianapolis, Jan. 27.—The twen-ty-two amendments to the constitution which have been brought to life by a bill introduced by Senate Floor Leader Van Nuys, will soon reach the stage of legislative activity. The importance of these amendments were made more apparent the other day by the appearance of an army of white Americans, all of them born and bred citizens of the United States and Lake county, Indiana. They were fluent in their denunciation of the liberalitj* of the present state constitution ip permitting foreign horns to arrive in this state one day, file their intention to become citizens the next day, and perchance should an election be held on this second day of their arrival, they have the full privilege of franchise and ean, vote, i Their votes count just as much and just J as hard as does the vote of the American citizen who has spent his life, his money and his influence in making this country and this state the garden spot of American freedom. This army of Lake county Americans have many arguments and some, interesting statistics. Sworn statements from, the Department of Labqr at Washington show that from September 27, 1906. to June 30, 1910, the number of intentions to become citizens of the. state of Indiana numbered 17,12 it and this is the number that voted and, each one of their votes counted, one. Out of this number 625 took out final certificate of citizenship. From June 30, 1910, to June 30, 1914, the number of declarations issued was 20,691, and of this number 2,671 took out final certificates of citizenship. So the total number df intentions filed in* the time stated., above were 36,712, and, the total number of certificates issued were 3,296. In other words 36,712 foreigners voted and less than onetenth of that number have become citizens of this state. The amendment proposed provides that a voter must be a resident of for one year and a citizem of the United States, and surely such a provision should prevail. It is a sin and a shame that at every election there are from twenty to fifty thousand foreigners, none of whom can speak the English language, none of whom know or care anything about our form of government, and none of whom expect to become citizens of the United States in the sense of a real American citizen, who have the privilege of the ballot. It is quite time that the citizenship of our state without regard to party should begin to protect file ballot against his class. Had the framers of the constitution any idea that we would now be struggling with such a public question, there would be little or no doubt but that the present constitution would have contained a provision that would amply protect us against this intrusion of the sacredness of the ballot. The advance guard from Lake county who are here pushing this amendment tb~Ure constitution,, are also asking for a special election at which the voters of the state may either accept or reject it. There is now submitted to the legislature in all twenty-two amendments and a vote may be taken on all of them at this special election. The need of a special election is warranted by,the fact that a majority voting at this special election will control, and the question will be settled. Should you be interested in this question, just indicate your desires to your senator or representative. It has now developed that the rate bill for the increase of the railroad rates in Indiana will be introduced in the house by Representative Waltz, who comes from the county, of Vanderburg. Mr. Waltz is a railroad conductor, a life-long railroad man. member of the labor union, and really one of the finest men one is privileged to meet no matter whether he mingled, with the rich aristocracy or whether he confines himself to the great mass of people who constitute the middle or laboring classes of this great commonwealth. According to the advance dope as supplied by the ready and willing legislative gossiper, this bill will be ready for introduction within the next few days and then there will doubtless be some genuine oratory of the brand you read about in the literary publications and then there will be some oratory of the kind found in the yellow backs. There will, in other words, be all kinds of oratory for all kinds of people. ' , About the happiest member of the senate right now is Senator McCormick. He has just emerged victorious with his bill abolishing capital punishment. The vote- in the senate was one more than needed,, and now the action of the house wiil be awaited with much interest. But few bills are being introduc-

ed this week, all of which shows that the members are more interested in the quality than in the quantity of legislation proposed. On Tuesday but nine bills were introduced in the senate and the house had an equally good record. There is not much the present legislature going wild, and for all of this legislative sense they deserve the commendation of a grateful people.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

You Can Figure Out What It Means For 1916. One possible way of figuring the national results from the election? last fall consists in regarding the maximum strength of each party in a state as indicated by the the candidate who led his ticket. In many of the states no general election was held. But in such states it is possible to get at results by adding the votes for representatives in congress. , Such a compilation shows the democratic party to have carried 26 states in November arid the republican party to have carried 21. California was carried by the progressives. Apparently, however, the California vote -'as a personal tribute to Governor. Johnson, v fio was re-elected. A deniocrat was elected senator by a rather ’narrow margin.. The states carried by the. democrats, with the electoral vote in each ease, follows: Alabama .12 Mississippi .....jo Arizona ........ 3 Missouri .......is Arkansas ......9 Montana t Ulorida ......... G Nebraska s-' Georgia ....... 1! Nevada 3 Idaho ■■ A North Carolina. 12 Indiana . ’...,.: . .15. < Iklahotna ~.,t0 Kentucky . . South Carolina.; 9 l.oiiisiana 10 Tennessee ......12 Maine. G Texas ........ 20 Maryland ...... 8 Vngirria \ 12 Massechusetts ’..IS Wyoming 3 Michigan ~~. .15' Minnesota ..... 12 Total ... . ;.. . 2GG The republican states were these: Colorado ..... G Ohio ...24 Connecticut ,-..1, 7 Oregon ... ~ 5 Deleware Pennsylvania ....38 Illinois .........29 Rhode Island 5 lowa .. ..13 South Dakota... 5 Kansas . 10 Utah 4 New Hampshire 4 Vermont ....... 4 New Jersey.... .14 Washington .... 7 New Mexico 3 West Virginia . . 8 New York 45 Wisconsin ......13 North Dakota... 5 ——- Total ........252 California, with its 13 electoral votes, does not appear in either table. There are 531 electoral votes,with 266 necessary for a choice. On the basis on which the foregoing tables were figured, the democrats had exactly the necessary number of votes for a choice. The republicans, even with California, were one vote short. - That was the situation last year. Every person is licensed to do his own figuring as to what it means for 1916. —Kansas City Star.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

The Wrong End. We have listened to the wail of the railroads. We have heard their organized ,S. O. S. They tell us that they cam no longer afford to give us the old two-cent per mile rate; that the installing of ihq signal-block system, the steel coaches, etc;, etc,, has caused them much extra expense. ■" -» ... 1 Is it not a fact that any thing that lessens the loss of life to the traveling public and the railway employes is also an economy financially to the railroads? Is there not more travel today than there was yten years ago? If the rate of travel expense is raised , from two cents to two and one-half cents per mile will it not mean that every factory hand, every day laborer that must from necessity ride to and from his work pay that much more for car fare every working day of his life? This also includes, widows and orphan children that are so employed. Is it true that all the Indiana railroads are discharging laborers and even threatening for some reason to close their shops for a time, as the Monon has already done? If so, it is only the old story told again. Now if these railroads are honest in their efforts to economize, why not begin at the other end and reduce the salaries of their army of high-priced officials? I am told that railway presidents in Indaina receive a salary in excess of the pay of the vice-president of the United States. 1 am told that even a railroad no larger than the Monon pays its president $25,000 per year in salary. This would mean more than SBO pei day, counting 300 working days in the year. Besides this you must remember there is a small army ot other high-salaried officials. Now 1 do not hear any proposal from these railroads to cut in two the salaries of these high-priced officials, but I do hear the proposal to force the poor day laborers, the widows and the orphans of this state to pay more for the privilege of a ride, and I hear they even threaten to turn out into the Minter's cold mechanics and factory men if this two and one-half cent rate is not made a law, ■' t _ We used to have a three-cent letter postage. Now the government gives us ji two-cent rate, and they do not ask for a raise either. Perhaps this government could run the railroads so that we could always enjoy the two-cent per mile rate or even less. , A short time ago the writer shijp ped a carload of live stock from Wheatfield to M.t. Ayr, a distance or 28 miles on one railroad only, the C. & E. 1. He enjoyed the sweet privilege of paying S3O freight for this short haul. It takes the •farm hand one month of labor to earn this amount, but it would not pay. the salary of a railroad president even one-half day.' Let the high-priced officials live in luxtfry and turn the factory men and the day laborers in the winter's cold. Is this economy?
