INDIAXAPOLIS. Ina.. June 9. Sixth district Democrats did exactly what might have been expected pf them. They nominated the weakest man in the district for Congressman, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman D. W. Comstock. of Richmond.

When they picked Finley Gray, of Connersville, thy made It certain that a Republican will be elected from that district. The Republicans 'frill hold their convention at Rushvllle today and nominate their candidate. Gray was a Congressman from the Sixth district for six years, and he was about the wildest pacifist In the buncn. and this is no time for a pacifist Congressman. Not when war is at hand. Congress should be filled with men who are In favor of carrying this war to a successful finish. "When Gray was In Congress he was counted as a weak sister, even by Democrats themselves. The only thing he ever did was to get Democratic politics In the Sixth district muddled up over the distribution of postoffices and other jobs that he had at his command. He had his own way of doing this, and it did not suit the rank and file of Sixth district Democrats. All along the Republicans had hoped that the Democrats would nominate Nate Gray, for they feel that he is easy picking. They were somewhat afraid that they might take a notion to nominate Walter Chambers, state senator!

from Newcastle, for Chambers Is a strong man in his district and a wise politician. But when the matter was proposed to him some time ago and his friends began urging him to get Jn the race. Chambers refused. He is still a senator, and the state senate Is a tie. with twenty-five Republicans and twenty-five Democrats, as will be remembered from the memorable session of last winter. If Chambers were to run for Congress and win It would mean , that he would have to resign as state senator. And even If he was nominated at all It might have been best for him to step out of the senate. This, of course, would have left a vacancy in the Democratic line-up In that body and probably would have given the Republicans a majority in case a special session would have to be called, for a successor to Chambers from Henry .county probably would be a Republican. Therefore, Chambers could not accede to the wishes of his friends and he kept out of the race for the nomination for Congress. There was no telling, when the Republican convention convened at Rushvill today, who would be nominated to run against Gray, but indications were that It was anybody's race, with Byron

Robbins, of Richmond, in the lead. But it was by no means a sinch for Robbins at that time. The woods was full of candidates. . It promises to be a warm campaign in the Sixth district for Congressman. The nomination of Gray has made this ecrtain. A number of United States senators are coming in to make speeches for the Republican nominee. When ii was first announced that this would be done there was considerable opposition, and word was sent to Washington to keep them out of the district. It was made plain .that outside help was not needed and tha it would not be welcomed. It was understood that this opposition had headed oft the coming of the national speakers. But word came yesterday that Senator Hiram Johnson, Senator Poindexter, Senator Borah and Senator Watson, and possibly others, would be in the district to whoop it up. .There will be no war issue In the campaign, even though Gray is a pacifist. This fact is so well known throughout the district that the Republicans are not inclined to make use of it in their campaign speeches. They

propose to fight the campaign on the ground that the country will need the

Republican party in power after the close of the war, when the period of reconstruction comes, and that a Republican should go to Congress from the Sixth district.

June 15 Is the date set for the hearing of the suit brought by Henry W. Bennett of this iity to knock oat the constitutional convention law. It 'ill

be heard in the Marion county superior

court. Judge Thornton says he will hand down a decision as quickly as. possible, in order that the cases may be rushed through the supreme court before the election of delegates is held in September. Both sides say they are ready for the hearing and that nothing will be done to delay a decision. Under a " ruling by the war department, which was sent out over the state by Jesse Eschbach. state conscription agent, any man who loses his registration card may obtain a certificate from the registrar of his district. Eschbach also instructed the registrars to register for the next few days any man who. for a Just cause, failed to register on June 5. He advised them to adopt a liberal policy in regard to this matter In order that every eligible man might have an opportunity to register. The total registration In Indiana was 266,370, which was 7,372 more than the government estimated.

AT THE SHOPS

BY 2CA&QABET MASON (Written for the United Press.)

We're all dressed up and no place to go," Said the slip-covered chairs . as they eat In a row.

NEW YORK, June 8. "Do you think my new Spring slip makes me look too stout?" Inquired the davenport anxiously of her friend the wing chair: "Not at all," responded the wing chair, gracefully. "Just a bit portly, you know. I feel that mine Is a perfect fit, but I am rather disappointed about my Dutch flounce. Humans are all wearing their Skirts so short this season and this pleated flounce Is so long It doesn't ihow a bit of my well-turned leg." "Let me settle this discussion for you," said the settle In the ingle nook. '"You all look simply stunning In your ew Summer slip covers and I only wish some one could slip one over on hie. Since I am too hard to fit (for I'm all hardwood, you know) I'll have to be content to settle down here and watch you all being featured in "Under Cover" this season. I only hope your charming new cretonne clothes will give you added strength to support, any weight and you won't mind being much sat upon. Antf may the gay flowers and birds on your slip covers keep Spring in your hearts as well as springs In your seats." "Thanks for your compliments, couched so elegantly," said . the couch. "On behalf of myself and all the other furniture I thank you." "Yes, it's mighty sweet of you," said the whole suite of furniture in unison. "And now It is time to shut up," said the desk, suiting the action to the word. You are likely to hear such a line of conversation if you sneak up on your furniture any night after the stroke of twelve. That is. of course, if you have followed the fashion and had slip-covers of cretonne, chinta or English linen made for all your upholstered pieces. In the old summer days we used to be content to swathe our furniture in shapeless slip-covers of tan striped linen as ugly as it was serviceable. Nowadays slip covers are for-fltting, as It were. They are made of the most delightfully designed and tinted cretonnes and linens to match the summer draperies and hangings. They are finished around the bottom with pleated ruffles called Dutch flounces. Snappers are used to fasten them snugly and neatly on to the most difficultly shaped articles of furniture so that each and every slip-cover, If It is well made, fits as perfectly as your own new tailormade. The beauty of it Is that you can slip off your arm chair's slip and have it laundered as easily as you slip off your small daughter's slip, and then you can slip It right back again. It certainly is a perfect snap as well as a perfect fit with the new snapper fastenings. Naturally, imported linens and cretonnes are almost prohibitive in price this year, but our domestic output is most creditable and copies of old English linens in soft colorings and even a good imitation of the linen fabric are offered in the cotton cretonnes at prices reasonable enough to make possible their use to cover all the furniture, cushions and hangings in one's living room or bedroom. Of course, if you want to go the limit, covers for the Victrola and piano, the bookcases and desk and tabes as well as for the upholstered

pieces may be indulged In and the effect is most charming. - Chinese designs are very popular and birds of Paradise, pheasants, peacocks and love birds have come home to roost on almost all your easy chairs. Old rose or yellow shades are very good this year for background colorings and putty or French grey are also most effective with brilliant hued designs outlined in black. While allover designs are most practical for slip-cover use, set patterns of baskets of flowers, urnshaped vases, flower-filled or cages filled with birds work up most artistically. In England, where no easy chair "is without its flounce trimmed, gayly figured slip, they often leave them on all the year round. Now that our slipcovers have become such works of art, such things of beauty and such perfect fits, we are going to be loathe to pull them off In the winter time ourselves. For to summerize the whole subject of slip-covers, they certainly summerize a whole room. Soon no one will be able to take his seat without realizing that "There's many a slip 'twixt the chair and the hip."

WANDERER

MAY STICK THIS TIE

(By United Press.) NEW YORK, June 9. Pitcher Scott "Rope' Perry,, recently acquired by the Braves, may stick this time. He probably will be able to prove to George Stallings that he has the makings of a big league pitcher, and will at least last it out until the end of this season. Perry is pressing Jack Knight pretty closely for the wandering, championship of the big league. Jack used to get caught in the draft every year, stand being bought ae least once every six months, and take several trips around the minor leagues each season. He's quit It now. Perry evidently Is bidding for the honors. Perry did his first bit of traveling when he went from the. Wichita Western league club to Louisville. Louisville was so busy trying to win a pennant that Terry was given very little chance to show what he could do. It wasn't long under these conditions until he was headed for Atlanta, and there he was planted until last fall. Tom O'Hara made a trip down south during the hottest part of last summer. He recommended Perry's purchase for the Cubs and the deed was done. Perry reported this spring, stayed with the Cubs until they got to Chicago, and then was shunted off to Cincinnati, where he stayed Just long enough to get acquainted with Manager Mathewson. Matty wanted to keep Perry, he said as much, but the team limit was on him and he had to do something. Perry was it. He was sent back to Atlanta. Perry stayed in Atlanta just long enough to get his old apartment straight and then he was purchased by the Braves. He's headed again toward a big league fame. When Perry was in the Western league he was with a club that stuck most of the time in last place, but he was generally acclaimed the best pitcher in that circuit. His failure to flash in big league company probably is due to the same eccentricity of fate that Jack Knight, a star of the first water in the minors and just a ball player in the majors.
