WANT “HI” RUN INDEPENDENT

Portland, Ore., June 15. —More than 5,000 signatures were obtained to a petition circulated in Oregon today asking United States Senator Hiram Johnson to repudiate the platform adopted by the Republican national convention and announce himself as an Independent candidate for the presidency, according to a telegram sent to Senator Johnson by W. P. Adams, a Portland attorney.

AN AFFRONT TO INTELLIGENCE

The nomination of Senator Harding is an affront to the intelligence and the conscience of the American people. In making it, the Republican party has put its worst foot forward. The public was prepared for a surprise at Chicago, but not for so disagreeable a surprise. Few observers expected the convention to nominate the best candidate presented to it, but nobody supposed

that it would choose the worst. As the convention assembled. Senator Harding was scarcely spoken of, the reason being that his candidacy was generally regarded as hopeless. None of the long list of names that have figured in the discussion of the nomination had been received with wider or more decided disapproval than his. He was the impossible candidate par excellence. The disheartening thing about it is that it was made not by the old guard alone, but with the connivance of many of those who call themselves progressives. If it had been dictated to a boss-controled convention there would have been hope for the party in a revolt of its better members. But when Kansas on the ninth ballot went solidly into the Harding camp she trampled the progressive banner under her feet and made of her loudly voiced professions of light and leading a scrap of paper. * ,

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

The nomination is all the worse because it perfectly fits the platform. It is too early to say that the Democrats deserve to win in November, but we have no hesitation in saying that the Republicans richly deserve to lose. —New York Evening Post.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. SPECIAL SESSION NEXT WEEK Gov. Goodrich Decides to Issue Call for Assembly—Will Announce the Date Later— State Institutions Need Money. Indianapolis, June 18. —Governor Goodrich announced after a conference with Republican leaders that a special session of the legislature will be called immediately. The governor said that the date had not been determined, but ’that he would Issue the call as soon as he could complete preparations for the session. It is generally understood in the statehouse and at Repullcan state headquarters that the session will be convened next week and that the governor will issue the call to the members of the assembly either today or Saturday. The fact that the Democratic national convention will be in session week after next will not deter the governor from issuing the call, It is said. The governor said that no special measures will be undertaken to pledge the members of the legislature to the consideration of a set program. He said that he will not outline any program of legislation prior to the convening of the assembly, but .that in his message to the legislature he will point out matters that require immediate consideration. The immediate need demanding the special session is the condition of institutional inalitenance funds. The legislature will be called on to appropriate at least $300,000 to carry the institutions to the end of the present fiscal year and to legalize the action of Otto L. Klauss, auditor of state, in transferring $290,000 from tl* general fund to the Institutional maintenance funds last year. “I cannot at this time say just what matters I will Include in my message to the legislature,” the governor said. “All I can say is that it is definitely determined to call the session as soon as possible. I am determined to issue the call at the earliest possible moment, but I cannot say at this time what the exact date will be.” The decision to fall the session was made at a conference of Republican leaders with the governor at the Claypool hotel. The meeting was attended by Edmund M. Wasmuth, Republican state chairman; Warren T. McCray, Republican nominee for governor ; Otto L. Klauss, auditor of state, and others. Prior to the meeting with the governor there were other meetings of party chiefs and It Is understood that every possible means of averting a session was considered. One of the matters considered at these preliminary conferences was the holding of the session after the election. This plan was abandoned, however, when it was learned that the present legislature ends with the election of the new members November 2. It is understood that Mr. Klauss would not consent to this delay and held to the statement he made several months ago that he will discontinue the payment of institution bills when their funds are exhausted. The matter of amending the tax law In accordance with the tax plank in the Republican state platform was discussed at the conference with the governor. It Is understood that Mr. Wasmuth and Mr. McCray opposed entering into this delicate subject at a special session and were of the opinion that it w’ould be much better to delay this question until the regular 1921 session. One of the objections that Is being made to changing the tax law at this time Is that the local and state taxing officials are right in the midst of the 1920 work and that any change authorized by the legislature at this time would be extremely confusing. The tax plank promises to amend the tax law by return’; g to the local communities all control over tax levies and bond issues.

Ask State Control of Cars. Indianapolis, June 18.—Representatives of shipping interests and other industries, aroused over the freight car shortage in Indiana, unanimously decided to ask the interstate commerce commission to return to the public Service commission jurisdiction over the car situation in the state, which was taken away by the recent federal transportation act. A special committee representing the industries will draw up a resolution which will be presented to the federal commission, seeking to re-establish state control of the distribution of cars in the state. More than 40 representatives of Indiana shipping Interests and other industries attended the conference called by John McCardle, vice chairman of the public service commission, to consider the car shortage in the state.
