UP THE SAURY

The paltry salary of $565, which was all that the Hammohd city council believed that it could allow the secretary of the board of health under the new law, no matter how active or efficient he Is, may be raised to & respectable sum should the attorney general decide that the law, as It now stands, provides only for the minimum salary to be paid. Dr. William D. Weis, secretary of the Hammond board of health, took up the question with Dr. J. N. Hurty.' secretary of the state board of health, yesterday, while in Indianapolis, and that official expressed his great surprise that such a construction should have been placed on the law by the Hammond city council and by some other councils in various cities of the state.

not say that he shal not receive more.

The law provides further that no sec

Dr. Hurty has promised Dr. Weis that

he will take up the ' matter immedi

in the,, event of a , favorable ruling, it

is very likely that' the Hammond city

council will revise Its salary ordinance

and allow the secretary a liberal sal

The law is also effective as regards

the salaries of the members of the

IEIG . SEI FOR MARCH

TIME5S BITREAV, "

AT THE STATE CAPITOL.

Indianapolis, Ind.. Feb. 26. Th

publican state committee has bean called together for a meeting on next Tuesday, March 1, at 2 p. m.. ilx thi.

city. The letters which wero

by State Chaift Vin Lee merely informs the members that a meeting will, be held at that time and that imnnrtin

business will come before the meeting It is believed, however, that nrobahl

the most important matter that will come before the committee will be the

nxing or tne date for holding the state

convention. It is not known definitely

that this subject will be taken up, but a man who knows pretty well what 1

going on said last night that it probably

WOUld DC

No one seems to have much of an idea

as to when the convention will be held. There is a difference of opinion amonz

a good many as to whether the repub-

lcan state ronvention should be held

early or late One view is that an early convention would give the republicans an advantage over the democrats because it would enable them to make first declarations on some things. Others believe that a late convention,

would be best because It would force

tne democrats to go on record first on

some or ine important questions. For

instance, those who hold this view say that If the democrats "were forced to hold their convention first they would have to do something with the temperance question. Either they would have to make a declaration one way or the other on the subject of temperance legislation or they would have to Ignore the question entirely. It is pointed out that If democrats were to declare In favor of repealing the local option law

or substituting some other kind of law for It the republicans would then be able to come to the defense of the temperance principle and rally the temperance support. If on the other hand the democrats should happen to Ignore the question entirely and not make any declaration o nthe subject the republicans would then be in a position to do the same and to declare that the antlllquor question Is settled and out of politics. ; jit Is certain that a majority! of the rank and file on both sides' would be well pleased if the liquor!

question were kept out of the campaign this year, and leaders on both sides are going to make strenuous efforts to keep it out, but whether they will be able to do so In the face of the constant and persistent agitation that is going on. Again, most of the leaders are of the opinion that a short campaign would be better than a long one. It is pointed out that a long campaign means an extra heavy expense on the candidates who are nominated for the state offices. When a campaign Is stretched into many months, as has been done in some years In the past, people gzt tired of it and after a while

they lost Interest. A short, sharp and snappy campaign, it is declared, would keep interest at Its height and would troduce as good If not better reus Mian a long eamra.i-

All of these considerations will be

presented to the state committee when It meets for the purpose of setting

date for the state convention.

The subcommittee of the state Com

mittee which was appointed to revise the rules governing the election of delegates to the state convention, meets here this afternoon to frame up a report which will be made to the state

l",u""llC9 t tie meeting next Tuesday. One of the members of the subcommittee who arrived last night said that few changes would be made in the rules. The most important of all of the changes will be the one which will require every county in the state to elect its delegates to the state convention on the same day Instead of on different days, as has been the custom heretofore. It was painted out at a former meeting of the committee that when the counties are allowed to elect delegates on separate days It afford an opportunity for a lot of log rolling at the primaries by friends and supporters of some of the candidates. It is said that in the past representatives of some of the candidates hnv

gone from county to county on primary days and rooted and electioneered for their favorites, and that In manv in

stances It. has resulted In bad feeling. It Is argued that the new plan will avoid anything of this kind this vear

and places all candidates on an equal

lwiing-. , .. . ,..T, it is plain to be seen from the list of names of the democrats who have bfen appointed by Democratic State Chairman Jackson to help him asrig. the coming campaign that Tom Taggert is to be In full charge, foot, horse and

".soon. And another thing that is as plain as can be, is that Indianapolis Is not going to cut much figure in the T?6"' f th camPaSn, except that William F. Moore of this city one of Taggarfs right hand lieutenants is

or me committee. Not

virion county man was appointed on

iiiiiiaiSu committee nor oil the executive committee. It Is true that John W. Kern and Joseph E.Bell of

tnis city were appointed members of the advisory committee, but the ad

visory committee will have mighty lit

"j 10 say aoout now the campaign shall be run. Anyone can guess how much Taggart will allow Kern to say as to how the campaign shall be con

ducted.

But tha appointments made by Chair

man Jackson, Thursday, afford some

interesting study. Reginald H. Sul

nvan of this city is treasurer of the

committee, a job that does not carry

mucn responsibility. Sullivan is a Tag

Bait man rrom up the creek. He was

one of the most active hustlers for

Charles E. Clark, the Taggart man who ran for the nomination for mayor last summer and who was snowed under by an overwhelming vote. The campaign committee, which will have much to do with managing the campaign, Is composed of Samuel M. Ralston of Lebanon, Andrew A. Adams of Columbia City, W. II. O'Brien of Lawrenceburgh, W. H. Vollmer of Vincennes and Edward M. Tuhey of Muncie. Ralston, it will be remembered, was the Taggart candidate for the nomination for governor in 1908 and was defeated by Thomas R. Marshall only when Taggart ordered him to withdraw his name and throw his support to Marshall in order to defeat L Frt

Slack of Franklin. Adams Is probably the .closest friend Governor Marshall has. They were neighbors in Columbia City and were confidents of each other. Governor Marshall thinks more of the advice of Adams on almost every proposition than that of any other man living. So Marshall will have a friend at court, at least.

ana ougnt to be In a position to know what is going on during the campaign. When a careful survey of the makeup of the list of appointees aa a whole it is easy to see that Taggart has reason to feel pretty well satisfied with what State Chairman Jackson did for him.

pleasure of enclosing a copy of a letter, just received from Senator Beveridge which should command the thanks and Interest of every citizen of the i state. It reads:

BEVERIDGE IS INTERESTED. IT. a Senate, Washington, D. C. Feb. 23. My Dear Mr. Dickey: I have your letter of Feb. 10. I have already made full arrangements to present this matter to the committee on commerce at the first available moment. It will be the Indiana route that will be surveyed, or none.

(Signed) Albert J. Beveridge. Mr. Dickey goes on to state, "This looks like business. Indiana's advantages will be considered. When such a survey is made, if favorably reported upon by the government engoineers, and the state awakens to its opportunity, we will see freighters passing to and fro through ous county, via ship canal, enroute from the fresh waters of our great lakes to the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico, thence to and through the Panama canal to the Pacific ocean, and still on to the markets of the world. It Is worth fighting for steadily and hard." AROUSES INTEREST. Mr. Dickey"s ideas will be of great Interest to the pople of the Calumet region and the possibilities of his pla
