tlon of Korbly and Fairbanks and Taggart made just as hard a fight to elect him. Governor Marshall got into the scrap, and he is now suffering from a choice assortment of burned fingers. He was opposed to Korbly and still he was elected. How well . the, Taggart-Kalrbanka scheme was laid and how well carried out is shown In the way the voting was done for chairman. The antis fough to the last ditch. Although Edward G. Hoffman of Fort Wayne announced before the meeting that his name would not be presented to the meeting for chairman, and although it was stated that Steve Fleming had given up the fight against the TaggartFairbanks bunch, it was learned after the meeting that Benjamin Boose, of Evansville, the first district chairman, who Is also the manager of the boom of Congressman Boehne for the nomination for governer,' did present Hoffman's name as a 'candidate, believing that he could muster six votes against the seven for the Taggart candidate. He said he wanted the vote to go on record. On the roll call Bosse voted for Hoffman. Then Gwin of the sec

ond district voted for Korbly. Following this Mark Storen of the. third district voted for Korbly. Storen was one

of the six on whom Bosse had depended to vote for Hoffman, as StorSn was said to have given a promise to the governor that he would do so.. When Storen voted for Korbly Bosse and Hoffman say that their fire was out and that it would be useless to proceed further with the ballot, because it would not accomplish anything. Then Hoffman arose and withdrew his name, saying that he was not a candidate and had never been a candidate, that he had not authorized any one to say he was a candidate and had never solicited a

vote. He moved to make the election cif Korbly unanimous, which was done. Some tall "falsifying" was done after the meeting was over. It was given out tha Hoffman's name had not been presented, and that the election of Korbly had been unanimous. But later W. H. O'Brien, state auditor, was asked about- the story that Hoffman's name had been presented, and he admitted Jt Ao be true, but said that it

was agreed in the meeting that this

fact should not be given out. That ac

count for the story sent out yesterday

mat, Hoffman had not been nominated. Two things stand out' boldly in the

result of the meeting of the democratic state committee. The first is that the party has been delivered absolutely

into the hands of the brewers and the

liquor interests, represented by Craw

ford Fairbanks and Tom Taggart,

These Interests are in full control. They are in position to nominate the state

ticket and make the state platform

They are in position to name practical

ly all of the democratic candidates for

the legislature, and this is significant, because Crawford Fairbanks is bitterly opposed to any form of law to regulate

tne liquor traffic. Whatever else mav

be said of .Steve Fleming as- a brewer. It must be admitted that he is not like Fairbanks. Fleming: is in favor of

regulative and restrictive liquor laws ana he has worked hard for them. The Fairbanks influence will domi-

"c campaign, ana lr tne same

kind of Fairbanks' methods in politics

are used in the state campaign that

were used in the fifth district chair

manshlp fight last week it is easy to

see what kind of a campaign is com ing on.

ine ract that the democrats have turned their party organization over to thebrewers will arouse the temperance people of the state to a fighting pitch. It is aotice to the temperance people that their votes are not wanted

and are not needed by the democrats.

This will mean that it will not be necessary for the Republicans to make any expression on the liquor question in their platform. With the Democratic party absolutely committed to the

brewery interests, as it is, the Republi

can party will be the only hope of the temperance people, regardless of

whether it declares for county option

or anythjng else. The Republicans can

let their past record speak for Itself on that proposition, without any new declaration. And by making no such

declaration the party will avoid driving

away any, liberal voters that might

object to a declaration in favor of

county option.

This is regarded here as one of the most important features of the situa

tion. Evidently a good many Demo

crats who were under the spell of Crawford Fairbanks and Tom Taggart had not though of this situation, but they w!l begin to see through it very

soon.

The next interesting feature of the

matter Is that although the committee

indorsed Sovernor Marshall as a candi dae for president and pledged the sup

port of 'the Indiana Democracy to him,

It at the same time turned him down In the matter of reorganization of the

committee. They rode over him rough

shod, paying no attention whatever to his wishes in the, matter. The Governor gave out a little statement after

the meeting in which he is quoted as

above.

A story was started here yesterday to

the effect that L. Ert Slack, of Frank

lin. had about decided to get Into the race for' the Democratic nomination for

governor agalns Samuel M. Ralston, o

Lebanon, and that probably be would

announce his candidacy within the nex

fen days. Mr. Slack was not in the

city and the stroy could not be verified,

There Is also a belief that numbe

of other candidates for governor may

spring up now, because there will be

indignation among the Democrats ove

the result of the reorganization of the

committee, and many Democrats will not want to vote for Ralston, who is

backed by the Taggart Interests. I

this happens It may mean much trouble

for Ralston. .

A good story is going the rounds in connection with the selection of March

21 as the day for holding the Demo

cratlc state convention. One man said

"The Governor carried the day, all right. The Taggart fellows wanted to

hold the state convention on March 20,

The friends of the Governor wanted the convention held at a later date. So they fixed It for March 21, and thus, the

Governor carried the day."

The Evening Chit-Chat

By RUTM CAMERON

"She was married by momentum." I wonder of how many married wo

men that might be said.

A pathetic little letter lies on my

desk. It is from a young1 girl who has discovered that she does not love

the man she is engaged to marry in

less than two month. '

'But what can I dor she cries. M

have almost atl my trousseau and most

of my household things. My girl friends have given me showers, and we've picked out the house and hirea it, and we've beginning" to lallc about

getting the actual date for the wed

ding. I've been afraid for two or three months that I didn't care enough but .that was what made me realize Jrast how badly I did feel. Why, then we talked about actually being married on this day or that It Just seemed as if everything went black. I felt as if 1 were being sentenced to prison. Isn't that a perfectly awful way for bride to feel? ,

"But what can I dot How can I break it off? What will people say? What will he say? Oh, Miss Cameron, sometimes when ' I wake up In the night it all over, I feel as if I were going crazy, or as if it must be all a terrible dream. But I can't possibly turn back. Can I?" I wonder what the other women who have been in that same position and have gone on would say to "I can't possibly turn back. Can IV I am afraid they would laugh if they heard it that terrible bitter melancholy laugh like the laugh of the girl that Dick painted In "The Light That Failed" which is the saddest sound in the world. ' "You think it takes more strength than you've got to stop now," they

would say. "Now how much strength

do you think it's going to take to go on and live forty or fifty or sixty years with a man you don't love?" One mistake never corrects another. The bramble bush philosophy of our nursery rhyme doesn't work in real life. This girl has made one terrible mistake in getting engaged to a man she doesn't love. She certainly can't correct it by making the even more terrible blunder of marrying him. Listen, my dear girl and any others who may be la a similar positionfirst don.t be swayed by any passing mood of resentment or over-tried nerves in this matter. Be sure you know your own mind this time. Give your feelings a reasonable test of time. But once you are sure, don't let any considerations of what people will say or what he will say have a feather's weight with you." Think how much

worse things they would probably say

! at the divorce suit.

Go ahead and do what you know is right and best, and you , will find strength for all the recriminations and embarrassments and misery of broken habits that can possibly come." Go straight ahead and if discouraged moments come hold tight to your heart the comfort that six months of mlseryis better than sixty years. You feel as if you were in a terrible dream. You are. And you can awaken yourself now if you will make that effort. But marriage would convert your dream into a reality from which you could never awake. May you have the strength to do with God means you to and find the best happiness that He has in store for you. RUTH CAMERON.

al convention. The significance of this to certain politicians is that Alabama

is the first state on the roll call andj

it is reckoned that the national convention thus starting oft on its roll call with Underwood will be a scene of enthusiasm. A bapijuet for Governor Harmon to be held in Milwaukee on Jan. 15 will be one of the largest democratic function of recent years, according to A. A. Allen, who is managing the Harmon campaign in Wisconsin.. The Woodrow Wilson forces of the democratic party in Michigan have perfected a campaign organization with a view to landing the state delegation for the nomination of the New Jersey governor for president. Democratic primaries will be held in Alabama on April 1 for the nomination of congressmen and state officers. Two weeks later the state convention will rr:ret in Montgomery to select delegates to the national convention. Five Smiths will have seats in the
