THE TIMES
YOU COULD HEAR THEM ROAR WAY UP HERE ' i
TIMES BIBEAl, AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind.. Dec. 12. When it became known to the Democratic Representatives who came to this city for the pow-wow, today, that the Democratic state organization had decided to take charge of the meeting- and take It out of their hands there, was a mighty roar that could have been heard fro mhere to there. It all came about because State Chairman Korbly sent a letter to all Democratic Senators and Representatives urging them all to attend the meeting, and promising that he -would have Gov. Marshall, Governor-elect Ralston, the state officials and the members of the state committee in attendance. The meeting today was called some time ago by a number of Representatives and they said it was for the purpose of discussing and planning- for the organization of the House and to give the members a chance to get acquainted with each other. It was stated, too.
that a plunder committee, to have charge of the distribution of patronage and Jobs in the House would be appointed. It was to be purely a House meeting devoted to House business. None but House members were Invited. No call was made for a meeting of the Democratic Senators, although it has been the understanding that such a meeting would be held some time. The Vetters sent out . by State Chairman tCorbly, and which reached the members yesterday morning, called attention to the meeting and practically assumed full charge of it. It did not recognize the fact that it was purely a meeting of Representatives, but it undertook to throw open the doors to everybody, regardless of the original call. Some time ago It was learned that some of the leaders of the party organization had formed a "steering committee" to look after the progress of party platform bills and other policy measures through the' legislature. This steering committee Included several of

been heard of before in state politics, that no one can even hazard a guess on what kind of a House there will be this time. These men may be all right and some of them may be all wrong. At least there is an element of uncertainty that has been bothering the party leaders greatly. Some say that this is the reason for the appointment of the steering committee outside the Legislature and the calling together of the outside hosts today. It is planned to have Gov. Marshall and Gov. Ralston make speeches to the members today and also for several other leaders to have a chance to express their views on what ought to be done. Some of the Representatives resent this action, which they denounce as interference with their rights and duties as Legislators, and they say they are not going to stand for It. Whether they will maintain this attitude, however, remains to be seen. The organization lash Is a pretty hard thing to ignore.
