TIMES' ETJKEATJ AT STATE CAPITAL. IXDIAXAFOLIS. Ind., June 7. There is pretty pood reason to believe that when the Democratic state committee meets, which will happen some time this week or next, Kernard Korbly will resign as state chairman, and that either James R. Fleming of Tortland, or Charles A. Greathouse of this citywill be elected to succeed him. The name of Greathuse has been injected into the situation in the last few days, since it became known definitely that W. H. O'Brien of Lawrenceburg would not accept the place under any circumstanres. Greathouse formerly was state superintendent of public instruction, and

for even Democrats themselves are of

the opinion that' their party is in bad shape as far as state politics is concerned. A peculiar situation has developed. It is given out on what appears to be good authority that Tom Taggart is taking no part in the selection of a state chairman, and that he has refused to be coaxed into the scrap. It is known that some, tif the faithful have made repeated tours afiu trips to French Lick to talk things over with Taggart and to induce him to give his endorsement to this candidate or that candidate. He has declined, up to this time, to do this. They coaxe and beg of him to say just one little word that might be used to indicate that he was

he is rich and a good politician. That j for this or that candidate or man for is about all that is required for a ! state chairman, but w henever one of

Democratic state chairman in Indiana.

Mothers Attention!

A Wonderful Prescription for You.

Mrs. Minnie McGregor of 612 Clement St.. Laporte, Ind.. says: "Eighteen years ago I f.rst became acquainted with Dr. Tierce s Favorite Prescription. It was during expectancy and I was try frail ard delicate. But the 'Favorite Prescription' strengthened me and I had comparatively no suffering. My baby was a strong, healthy girl and has always been fine and healthy. For the expectant mother I think there is nothing to equal 'Favorite Prescription." The 'Pleasant Pellets' I keep in my medicine closet for immedite use and feel that I couldn't keep house without them." Pleasant Pellets for stomach, liver and bowels, are made up of the Mayapple, aloe leaves and jalap. This wellknown pellet was made up nearly fifty years ago, by Dr. Pierce, and can be had for a quarter from almost any apothecary simply ask for Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Tellets. Mrs. Marvey Goss of 615 South 11th St., Goshen, Ind.. says: "When I was a young girl just coming into womanhood I suffered greatly. This caused me to become all run-down, weak and nervous. My mother gave me Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and I have never been troubled since. I married and am the mother of four strong, healthy children and I have always taken this medicine during expectancy and afterward to give me strength, which it always did. I consider I was very fortunate In knowing of 'Favorite Prescription' as I am sure it saved me lots of trouble and . suffering as well. I would especially recommend 'Favorite Prescription to young girls just coming into womanhood and to expectant mothers." Favorite Prescription can be obtained

Timerman of 513 William ! St., Elkhart. Ind., says: "After bej coming a mother I did not get along j well, could not gain back my strength. I was extremely nervous and became very weak; was in a general run-down j condition and two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription built me up in

good health, cured me jt all nervousness and my general health was better than it had been for some time. I

; can recommend 'Favorite Prescription' j as being a splendid medicine for womj en." Adv.

those who are close to him do not be

lieve that this Is going to happen. They say that the Fleming crowd cannot muster enough votes in the state committee to put the rarty in the hands of the Fort Wayne brewer. Therefore, they say. Taggart is resting easily and enjoying absolute peace at French Lick. The election of Greathouse would not be at all distasteful to Taggart, for Greathouse and Taggart have played the game together for many ytpars. It was while Taggart was the master of the party in the heighth of his political power that Greathouse was selected to

fill a vacancy in the office, of state! superintendent, and a Taggart commit-j tee appointed him to the place. Later he was elected twice to the same of-1

fice. This is not so bad for a man who was drafted to take the job. There has been a revival of the talk about Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, as a possible candidate for state chairman, but he says there is nothing in it. Crittenberger' has not only been talked of for state chairman, hut also for State auditor at the election in 191S and for governor in 1920. Whether he is running for any one or all of these places, remains to be seen. He has been running around over the state quite a bit. and has made some trips to French Lick. Indianapolis suffragists are wondering just "where they are at." The county registration board for the special constitutional election has been appointed and the? registrations of women are in progress "at the Marion "county court house. According to the interpretation" of the registration law by the non-partisan committee appointed by Governor Goodrich, the registration should begin on June 22 and close on August 20. Put the county clerk points out a clause in the . Eteardsley law, passed on the lat day of the session of the legislature, which says the county j-lrk shall bfgin at once to initiate, 'appoints organise and. begin the operation of the registration board, but that "the same shall be done in sufficient time "to allow for a full period of sixty days for such registration, the end of which period shall he on the fifth Monday, by retrogression, preceding such election." TMie county officials insist that the law required them to begin "at once'-' and they have done so. The women.

however, are wondering whether it is ajl right. Some of them say that if the registration has started too early there is great danger that women who register before June 22 may be challenged when they undertake to vote at the special election for delegates to

the constitutional convention on the ground that they are not properlyegistered. Whether registration is in progress in any other county in the state for the constitutional convention election is not known here. '

NEIGHBORS TO JUDGE EXEMPTION

WASHIXGTOX. ' D. . C. June 7. Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. announced last night that Yif expects to be ready in about ten days to proceed to the drawing by Ibt of the names of the men in each' state from which the local and district exemption boards will select those who are to go into the army and those who are to remain behind engaged in industry and agriculture. '.'Reglst ration , marks the completion of the first'step in the execution of the selective service law," Gen. Crowder said. "The actual recording has been practiaclly finished in a single day, but the arrangement and copying of the cards, their segregation into appropriate groups, the publication of lists, and the garnering in of delayed registrations will consume a week or ten days. "In the meantime the machinery of the registration is being readjusted to serve as machinery for the further execution of the law.

"When- this is all done regulations) governing the jurisdiction of the local j

boards will be issued, and the machinery will then be ready to proceed t,o the drawing which will result in a determination of the order in which registered men will be examined for the purpose of their selection for military or industrial service.

1 Work Must Ba TTnlfonn. ( ."W hen this list of order is determin

ed it is expected that the war department will be able to make a definite call for men, and as soon as this data is available the quotas necessary to fill thf first call will be assigned to the sevral states. "Precise time limits cannot he set at present, for the reason that it is the desire to have uniformity of operation of the machines throughout the United States and to have each step taken simultaneously throughout the nation. Mountainous, heavily wooded, and sparsely settled states cannot move with the ' expedition of compact and densely populated states. "While dates are not (o be named precisely, these steps -r.l follow each other promptly with a ixed purpose of giving as much time as possible to men who are selected to adjust their affairs, to make their farewell, and to avoid the .inconvenience and suffering that would result from a hasty change from civil to. military status." The government today decided to pursue, a liberal policy for a few days toward slackers. But men eligible to registration who do not respond soon and give good reason for failure to register will be prosecuted. Wherever there is evidence of deliberate evasion arrests will be made at once. Those who are wholly unfitted phypically for a soldiers' grim business must be eliminated; the quotas of the states must be assigned; the. machinery for distributing this quota equally through every remote county or precinct of each state must be perfected. Neighbor to be Judges. ' j The local exemption boards will al-j .most equal in number the registration rrecincts. Assurane has been given that a man's own neighbors will be the judges to pass upon his case. There were more than 125.000 precincts and equal decentralization will characterize the exemption machinery. , President-Wilson, upon whom the law imposes the duty of selecting and ap- j pointing all these boards, probably will : delegate this authority to the state J officials. Their loyal and enthusiastic j

response, exemplified in the registration, is certain. Then comes the appointment of the boards of review, to which each man who may be chosen by his local board for army duty may carry his case if he feels himself wronged.
