thing at all about Ralston. They even

insisted on this, although Ralston Uvea in the Ninth district, and lias always been recognised as the leading Democrat of the district. This was a surprise to the Ralston boosters, for they had' not expected such mutiny in his home district. Another thing that was bobbed up at the meeting was a proposition that th editors indorse the candidacy of Governor Marshall for the Presidency an! adopt a resolution calling on the di?trict to seelct delegates to the national convention who would stand for ths governor through thick and thin until the last. This gave the Ralston men the chance they had been looking for. and they seized upon it. They refused to agree to the Marshall resolution un. less the opponents of Ralston agree.l also to the adoption of the Ralston resolution. For a time it looked like the meeting would break up withou-. any resolutions of any kind. But finally the Marshall men agreed to indorse Ralston provided the Ralston men indorsed Marshall and both resolutions were adopted. - , But it is reported now that the indorsement of Ralston dors not mean much. According to reports the Democrats of that District are not unanimous for Ralston. Some of them are now in favor of voting for him on the flrt ballot and then dropping him and going-

to some other candidate. Whether they will do this Is a question, for it would look strange to .see a district go back on its own candidate for the nomination for Governor. Yet It . looks like that is what might be done in the Ninth district. No one seems to know just the reason for this opposition to Ralston In his own. district. It Is recalled that last year Ralston was Intrusted by Tom Taggart with the job of inducing the Boone county Democrat!? county convention to adopt a resolution favoring the repeal of the county option law and -the substitution of the Hity. town and township unit. Boone in a dry county, and in spite of the best efforts that Ralston could put forth the convention refused to adopt the reso"Tuilon and make the indorsement. It turnei him down and declared in face of the retention of the county local opution law. This effort on the part of Ralston to help knock out the 'local option law got him in bad with some of the dry Democrats of his own county as well as the whole district, for at that time there was not a saloon in the Ninth district. : Not only did it get him in bad with the drys of the district but it also got him In bad with the wets because, with all of his leadership and hish standing . and power In the party he failed to put

over the very thing that they most wished put over. Therefore, he playe-l the losing end at both ends of the string. But while Ralston is having troubles In- his own district in his race. Governor Marshall also appears to be having his troubles in his race for the presidency. A report has been circulated that he has Insisted on being permitted to select the delegates from- all of the districts to the national .convention, Inf order that he may be able to assure himself that the delegation will stand by him to the end of the balloting. This report-has caused some sur-

prise and some feeling among Democrats, and some of them are saying that If the report is true the Governor 3 making a grand mistake in trying to put the plan over.

"I would be a bad piece of politics for the Governor to try such a plan," said one Democrat, yesterday. "There are always several men In a dlstric who would like to be elected delegates to the national convention, and if the Governor should go out and select ons of them and turn the rest down, giving them no chance whatever to even run for the place, it would make them mad. A man left out in this way would be tempted to get even with the Governor. I- doubt if the report is true, for it sounds too foolish.' One man said it was more likely that the Governor wish to look over the ltet of selections before they are finally named, but that he -would not arbitrarily pick : the men and tell the Democrats to elect them or none. He said that this would not be so bad, for in -that way the Governor could make certain of a delegation that he could depend on, and at the same time he would not pick the men. But It Is pointed out that even this would be going a long way for the Governor in this matter, and that it would be setting a precedent In this state that ought not to be set. ' "Such a plan has never been used in

this state," said one Democrat, "and I very much fear that it would not do now." Some' Interest has been aroused In Republican circles over the publication of a dispatch from Chicago in regard to

the' meeting that' is to be held there

this month in the Interest of the boom

of Senator Jafollett for the Republi

can nomination for the presidency. It has been announced that progressive

Republican leaders from all over the

country would be invited to that gath

ering, and that It was1 proposed to make It a big affair the biggest, indeed, in the history of the Insurgent movement.' But the dispatch' mentioned from Chicago says that not a single Indiana Republican has responded to the invitations sent Into this state by the promoters of that meeting. .- ,

No names are. given, so. .there is no

way. of telling who among the Indiana

Republicans, if any, have received Invitations to this meeting.'. Careful inquiry among Republicans here and over

the state has. failed to discover and Re

publican vho has received an invita

tion. If any have been Invited they are

keeping still about it. Or if no invita

tions have been sent to Indiana Repub

licans it might give rise to the thought.

that the Insurgents have little hope of

accomplishing anything in the way of

acquiring leadership of the party in

this" state. ' But whatever the reason it

Is: impossible to find a Republican with an Invitation to the meeting.. That ac

counts for .the "failure of Indiana Republicans to respond to the Invitations.

had their effect. The first was the resolution adopted by the Indiana State Federation of Labor at Evansville, denouncing him for his action in the

f Storming worse than the weather

complimenting the governor and the democratic party on their stand on the liquor question, and the third jolt. was

the decision of Judge Itemster of Marl

on county . that the governor's proposed

new state constitution was an uncon

stitutional, act of the legislature. Of th three, however,' the latter appears

to be the least harmful, for. the ma

jority,. or democrats, as well as practically all republicans agreed that the constitution law ought to be knocked

out by the court. :

When one analysis the action of the

State Federation . of Labor several im

poriani reatures are found. The one that stands out most prominently, how. ever, is the fact that the action shows

that there has been a great increase

in socialism among the working peo

ple of the state. In fact, it is fig

ured out that the resolution is almost

wholly the result of the activities of

socialists, who, by the way, have just

about captured control of most of the

labor organizations in the entire country, as welt as-fn Indiana nfone. Tbere was a large representation of socialists in the federation convention at Kvansville. The socialists were able to do about as they- pleased. They came within an ace of defeating Kdgar A. Perkins for re-election as president of

the--tate" federation, and orriy fatled because of a split, in their own ranks, thus dividing their votes between two candidates. They were able to defeat Clarence Gaunter for secretary of . the federation-and to elect a socialist from Kvansville as secretary to- succeed him. Before the convention opened the

1 friends of the governor doubted that j the federation would condemn the j governor, although it was known that

I an effort would be made to do so. They

believed that the federation leaders would not allow the criticism of his action to go that far. But they had not figured "on the strength of the socialists. Jt Is believed that the socialists do not care so much -about the action

of. the governor In the McNamara case as they do for the opportunity which it presents for them to spread their doctrines. The - opinion , prevails that they simply seized on this Incident and this opportunity to make a hit and a strong one in favor of their views on political and economic uestions. The fact Is that the growth of socialism In Indiana is a serious menace to both of the old parties, and the politicians are beginning to realize this fact. It was pointed out in these dispatches several months ago that the socialist vote at the last state election was vastly larger than it had ever been before. Some counties showed as much as 300 per cent gain over the former election. There is a recognized

I spirit, of unrest among the working

people. It has not taken any definite form, but it exists, just the same, and the socialists are taking advantage of this condition to strengthen their party. This is seen in developments in some of the counties. At Anderson, for Instance, the socialists recently held a big meeting to which an admission fee was charged. The hall held a thousand people, and it was packed and hundreds were unable to gain admission. Madison county is a stronghold of socialism, but up to that time the socialist meetings had been held on street corners. They have attracted ever Increasing crowds, and this shows that the socialistic Ideas are gaining in fayorwith the working people. Politicians agree that the increase of socialists means a decrease in the number of democrats in the state, because more democrats than republicans are 'taking up with it. All of this is strongly detrimental to the chances of Governor Marshall for the nomination for the presidency, for the democratic party - would not dare to nominate a man for president who would alineante as many voters as there are socialists in the country. Republicans think that the growth

of socialism in the state means that

their party has a better chance to car- i

ry Indiana next year than had been

supposed. The more democrats that

turn -to socialists the better will . be

the republican position.

The action of the Knights of Fidelity

in indorsing the- governor and the

democratic party of the liquor question

has also caused . some alarm among democratic leaders, for they realize that this is liable to alienate a good many dry democrats In the rural communities. They know that the majority of the pebpfeT "both ' democrats and republicans in the rural counties are opposed to the saloon.. They do

not like the action of the last demo

cratic legislatnre In repealing the coun

ty option law and providing for the

return of saloons to many of the coun

ties. They fear that the republican state convention next year will again declare in favor of county option, or something even stronger than that, because a declraation of that kind will attract thousands of dry democrats in the county districts. There is no doubt that the democratic leafier would much prefer that the Knights of Fidelity had remained silent' on the subject, and that they had not adopted the resolution indorsing Governor Marshall and the democratic attitude on the lluor uestlon. The growth of socialism among the labor unions is seen plainly in this city, where there are so many national headquarters of labor unions. It is pointed out that the socialists have captured control of the United Mine Workers, which is the largest labor union in the world. They were strong enough to force John Mitchell to give up his membershlpLand his position in the National Civic Federation under penalty of expulsion from the union. The complaint against Mitchell was that- in the National Civic Federation he Was associatod with men of the capitalistic class. In the last issue of the official monthly journal of one of the large labor unions with headquarters here, ugene.V. Debs had an article expoundin socialism and literally picking the federal constitution to pieces. w In nearly every number of some of the these journals socialism is p'reached. The. McNamara incident is discussed in practically all of them, and the governor is denounced for honoring the requisition for his removal to California. This activity on the part of the socialists is helping to keep the laborng people stirred up and in a state of unrest, which is Just what the socialists more desire. With, the socialists denouncing him: with the Indiana State Federation of Labor denouncing him and calling on all labor union, men to oppose any movement to elevate him to higher position; with the Knights of Fidelity indorsing him and complimenting his course on the lquor question. Governor Marshall is having a hard time of it with his boom. Then since the word has come, from the east that he would not be unsatisfactory to Wall street and to the capitalistic Interests as a candidate for president, fresh fuel has been added to the flames which the socialists have started under him and his friends are greatly worried over the

outcome.
