INDIANAPOLIS NEWS LETTER

(By Willis S. Thompson)

Indianapolis, August 4.—The June records show an increase of $3,800,■l*oo in deposits in the postal savings banks of the United States over June, U'ls. Tee larger growtn was in the smaller industrial centers. ' in the 7,701 postal savings banks June 30, 1916, there were 603,000 depositors with approximately $56,000, 000 on deposit. An indication that the bana . deposits in other directions have ! grown even more rapidly, Oklahoma 1 records an increase of 100 per cent |in all bank deposits since 1912, and 1 North and South Dakota report an increase of 70 per cent in the same | period. None of these can be charged ! to war munitions or characterized as •‘temporary prosperity.’’ The only state in the union showing a decrease in bank deposits is Deleware, where the great DuPont powder works are located. Candidate Hughes and his associates will have a pleasant job showing the people they do 1 not desire prosperity such as they : n °w enjoy. No surprise then that | they have decided to make Mexico I the Republican campaign issue, j Their only hope is in having voters forget the good and- substantial i things done by the Wilson adminis tration.

Bowman Elder, president of the Indiana Democratic club, one of the most enthusiastic and effective organizers in the state, has been named by the national committee to organize the Young Men’s Democratic league in Indiana. This organization was started in New York as a state affair and it grew so rapidly and its work promised such excellent results that it was decided to make it naUenal. State Chairman Bernard Korbly and National Committeeman Ed. G. Hoffman were responsible fol the selection of Mr. Elder a 3 the Indiana manager. As soon as the first announcement was made, and nefore membership blanks and literature had been prepared, hundreds of calls came by mail and telephone with re quests to be listed and asking for the privilege of forming district organizations. Mr. Elder will have his headquarters at the state committee rooms.

* * * The South Bend News-Times wants to know what harm could “Boss ’ Hughes as President do to the “stand-pat” principles of the old guard with a congress of men like those whom the Republicans propose to elect from Indiana—and the li .o of Charles Warren Fairbanks, something of a “boss” himself, presiding over the upper house? * * * A moveemtn is under way in Chicago to rid the city of all weak-mind-ed persons as a precautionary measure against homicidal outbreaks like that of the insane negro who killed four persons, and as a preliminary the Rockefeller institute will begin a survey to ascertain how many residents are subnormal mentally. One newspaper that is published in a town that is jealous of Chicago says, “If this kind of census is to be taken anywhere, there is no better place to begin than in Chicago.” It is due Chicago to call attention to her recent performances. Her people should not now be held responsible for the Republican victory which placed Mayor Thompson in office. They have been sufficiently punished for that. Besides they have produced abundant fruit showing repentence and each election gives increased Democratic majorities in every ward. Now' that Mayor Thompson is devoting all his time to working for Candidate Hughes no doubt the whole noi“h end of Illinois will be unanimous for Wilson without the necessity of a

Democratic campaign. Even a Republican like Mayor Thompson is sometimes good for something. * * • The New' York World wants Candidate Hughes to explain why all the Wall Street interests and their allied interests are for Hughes and adds “some of the Republican candidate’s friends are already boasting that a larger campaign fund can be raised in Wall street this year to elect Hughes than Mark Hanna blackjacked out of the corporations to reelect McKinley in 1900.’’ Further the World says: “Mr. Hughes may answer that while all these sinister interests are for him, he is not for them. That was Mr. Heart’s reply in 1906 when Mr. Hughes asked why h v. s Murphy’s candidate for governor. The answer was not satisfactory 10 years ago/when Mr. Hears! gave it as his excuse, and it cannot be satisfactory now'.”

* * * Congressman John A. M. Adair will come to Indiana August 9 and formally open his campaign at Fort Wayne bn that date. Following his opening address Mr. Adair will speak every week day and as many times a day as the speakers’ bureau of the Democratic state committee can arrange the meetings. He will not finish his speaking dates until election day. Mr. Adair is one of the most effective speakers in the campaign in either party and a great believer in the notion that good results come from meeting the people personally. At least this has been his experience in his five successful congressional campaigns in the Eighth district. * * * Senator Thomas Taggart spent a few hours in Indianapolis attending to some private business and during his stay conferred with State Chair man Bernard Korbly and other party leaders. Senator Taggart expressed himself as greatly pleased with the political outlook and from an ex tensive correspondence over the state he concludes that conditions could hardly be better. The senator returned direct to Washington and will not come back to Indiana until congress adjourns.
