DEMOCRATS ADOPT NEW STATE PLAN Campaign Against New Tax Law Was Bringing No Results.

ITIMrS BUREAU AT STATS CAPITALl .NDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Oct. 13. The absolute failure of the Democratic orKsnliatlon to make any headway In the campaign hy ita propaganda t hate acainat the Republican state adminlatration and the new tax law has resulted In a audden change in front. Although there is a faction of the Democratic organiaation still insisting that the campaign should be fought along local lines the big bosses In the party apparently have decided tht this will not be continued partly because of the failure of Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Indianapolis candidate for Governor,- -and because of the desire of the leaders to make the League cf Nations the chief Issue. In the Denlson hotel, where Thomas Taggart of French Lick fame, Benjamin Bosse. Democratic state chairman and mayor of Kvanavllle, work out the details of how the other Democrats must conduct themselves, has come the work that the Wilson league must be the Issue. In accordance with this command the local Democrats have opened a temple" for the preaching of the league. A room In the downtown district has been obtained and a "sermon" will be given each day at noon on the virtues of the "Wilson covenant. With a sort of religious fanaticism the Democrats have determined to wind up the campaign with this subject their sole Issue. Blinded by their own enthusiasm they are spreading the propaganda that there is a "drift" in their favor and Republicans galore are going to forsake the party to support Mr. Wilson's league. It can not be dented that with the efforts being put forth by the Democratic spellbinders they are succeeding to some extent in dodging the issues of the campaign by ignoring them in tt.e hopes that they can throw a white halo around the league Idea. In Indianapolis, the center of their battle to win the state, they are not progressing in fooling the public with the slogan that the "league will keep the world out of war." Underlying the league controversy Is a ienment among the voters that the Democratic administration needs to be rebuked. That It was extravagant and catered to the south rather than to the lndusry and agriculture of the north. Political observers here declare that while the issue of the campaign might seem to be dimmed by the volume of talk about the league covenant, the fact remains that the paramount issue of the campaign always was and still is. "Wilsonism." It was Taggart ,fresh from French Lick, who declared at a meeting of Democratic precinct committeemen of Marion county, shortly after ths party's state convention, that "a Marlon county goes, so goes the state." Mr. Taggart Is a wise political boss. There is no doubt that Marion county with her 19,000 voters can be a force In the big battle. Tet. as matters now stand, Marlon county will give the Republican state and national ticket no less than a 1,00 plurality. This figure is conservative and Is not based .-n predictions of persons likely to be misguided as to facts.

addresses in support of the candidacy, of Warren G. Harding. "I am as progressive in 1920 as I wan In 191.' said Senator Johnson as he a'ighted from his train. "But th one Issue before the people today is tliej

irayuc ii mil in?. i c myurttriiy x akvf forgotten everything else because of the terrible menace to the r-iullie. When that Is averted I shall return to other matters." "Senator Harding." the California senator continued, "has scrapped league of nations. In his public utterances he has termed it a 'snprcnic

blunder." and 'stupid fraud.' And be-i fiiaeof his attitude he wfVl be elected ' prenldent overwhelmingly." Senator Johnson told his Interviewcr? that there is no question of what!

California will do in the coining election.

ITALIANS OF

CELEBRATE Will Observe Columbus Day And Italy's Independence Day.

East Chicago Italians will next Sunday celebrate Italian Independence Day and Columbus Day, both In one big celebration, with a parade, band, fireworks .speeches and all the rest that goes to make up a big day. There will be a parade In the morning, band concert and speeches in the atternocn and evening and a grand windup of fireworks the last thing In the evening. The celebration was originally planned for Italian Independence Day

which was September t6th but because j of lack of time for preparations it was decided to combine It with a Columbus Day celebration. The parade will be started at ten In the morning with, the discharge of a giant rocket from which will float an American and Ital-! Ian flag and after encircling the busl- j ness section will stop at the city hall: park where another rocket will be dis- ! charged. Costumes have been secured '

and in addition to the hundreds who will parade in costume there will be a large float depicting Columbus. In the afternoon Professor Meisacapa's twenty-two piece band will play at the city hall park and there will be speeches from George Baroso, a municipal judge of Chicago, and from Atty. John Dejrazia, a cousin of Alderman Rocco GlorgiQt Doth are known as excellent speakers. In the evening the band will again give a concert and there will be speeches from Antonio Ferrari of 'Chicago an dRev. Nicolo Accomando of Gary. The evening program will be held on Todd ave. Just south of Chicago avenue. There will also be grand opera singers for the evening program. The artistic fireworks display will start at ten o'clock.

Jake Diamond of the Chicago Produce company, Hammond's pioneer fruit merchant, spent I25.0UO dollars to give Hammond a fruit store the city might be proud of. It waa Jake's Intention to move from his old elte. at tha corner of Oakley and State trcct and abandon this location, but n w he has changed his mind. He has enough business to keep both stores Koing full tilt, and he figures If tie took any more business to the now location at 220 State alrett, he would be compelled to turn It down. "It Isn't my disposition to turn the good people away," Jake reasoned, "and to take care of everyone we will go right ahead with both mores, giving the same big bargains as we always have.'' The Chicago Produce company started in Hammond some two or three years ago In a small way, selling on a ery narrow margin. It marked the real beginning of wholesale and retail fruit selling in Hammond, and since II. at time the business han grown by Raps and bounds. Mr. Diamond discovered a waiting rurket for such products as fruits and vegetables and the business now permits him to buy in tremendous quantities. The Eam Chicago Produce company has contracted for potatoes, apples, etc., for future delivery that would stagger the average layman, but, as Jake puts-it, "it is in knowing how and where to buy that enables us to move such quantities right out to the people who are ready and waiting for prices such as we are able to quote."

COUNCIL FAILS

TO NAM

FOR VACANCY

Although tne meeting was ostensibly for that purpose, members of the Gary city council at their special meeting last night did not appoint a new member to fill the vacancy caused by t-!.a resignation of Councilman Peter Dumas of the third ward in Gary a week ago. It was on a motion made by Councilman Freebury to table the resolution appointing a new member of the council .that someone seconded the motion and lt was passed by a unanimous vote. A moment later someone seconded a motion to adjourn and the council members filed out of the council chambers, recording the shortest session In the history of the city. Previous to hla motion to table the resolution Alderman Freeberry stated that there were some twelve aspirants for the office and it would only be proper for the council to have more time to consider all the names and investigate the characters of the prospective candidates. That effort is being made by the colored population of tha third ward, who control three quarters of the vote, for the appointment of William E. Burrus as their representative In the city council was fn evidence when doxens of prominent colored political workers were on hand to present a petition in the behalf of Burrus. For years the colored population of the city have .been eager for representation and have even demanded that their color and race be recognixed. It was only recently that the negro restdents did everything In their power to secure the appointment of a negro justice of the peace, but at the eleventh hour the appointment of Judge Henry Wellner was made public. Now that there is an opening In the council, the colored Totera as ka seat In that body.
