PART VOTER PLAYS If PARTY HAZY TO MAJORITY OF THEM

Little Understood by Average Citizen Regarding Organization of Parties, Now Being Effected. (Continued from Pag One.) committeemen to be an organization being selected in addition and the members thereof to have general overBight in the townships and wards of the workings of the precinct committeemen. The county committee of 64 precinct committeemen will meet next Monday and organize by the election of a chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer and then the county working force is complete with the eiception of the naming of an executive committee, which the county chairman is expected to create and which Is supposed to act in an advisory capacity during the conducting of the campaign. District Convention. At the ward and township meetings It also is required that the voters, in addition to naming precinct committeemen, shall also name delegates to the district convention. This is true throughout the state and in this, the Sixth district, the convention will be iheld January 31 at Cambridge City. The number of delegates to the contention elected by the wards and townships depends on the vote cast at the last general election smd, as a mat'ter of course, delegate bodies are sometimes greater and sometimes less In number depending on the vote. The district convention selects what is commonly known as a "district chairman," but who in fact is a district .'committeeman, and who becomes a .part of the state committee the same las a precinct committeeman becomes a part of the county committee. There are thirteen congressional districts in Indiana and the committeemen from these thirteen become the state committee and are expected to have general supervision of their party's affairs in their respective districts. The Sixth district is composed of the counties of Wayne, Fayette, Union, Shelby, Rush, Henry, Hancock and Franklin eight counties in all, a reduction f one from two years ago, as a result of the redisricting of the I state by the last' general assembly. Decatur county was eliminated from the Sixth by this arrangement. Following the selection of the- district committeeman the state over, the State Republican committee will be organised on February 2, at Indianapolis, the district committeemen meeting there and electing a chairman, secretary and treasurer, and the working forces of the entire state are then In readiness for the campaign. In just the same way that the Wayne County Republican committee must take care of the. arrangements for the party's primary to select candidates for county offices, the State Republican committee must take care of the state "primary," or In this case convention, to name the state's candidates for office. The chairman of the State committee is the director general of all mat ters that are decided on to push the? party to the front in the campaign and bis orders are, as a rule, sent to the county chairman and by him to the precinct committeemen. Much of the "dope" handed out, however, goes from the state committee direct to the precinct commttteman, who after all, being down in the ranks among the voters themselves Is responsible to a great degree for success or failure of the orders of the director general, the state chairman. In the selection of the candidates for congress for the thirteen districts 1n Indiana, there are conventions held t the call of the district committeeman of each district. Delegates to such conventions are chosen in each county at township and ward meetings, as delegates to the conventions to name district committeemen. The number of delegates from the counties is regulated by the vote of the party at the last preceding election. Delegates to the state conventions are selected in the same way and by the same methods, and the state delegation to the national conventions are selected by districts, with additional delegates who re known as delegates-at-Iarge, rep- ; resenting the entire state.

Mrs. Phillip Veregge. and Mr. and Mrs. George Horney and two boarders, all living in a house on South Fifth street narrowly escaped death from asphyxiation when gas escaping from a leaky pipe in the. cellar filled the house with gas. Mrs. Veregge is still very ill from the effects of inhaling the gas. The family was awakened Friday morning by one of the two boarders who called the attention of the family to the gas which had accumulated in the house. All were awakened except Horney, and force was necessary to poll htm from his bed. He rallied in a short time. The family then called for men from the gas plant, and two men descended into the cellar to locate the leak. The accumulated gas, however, drove them from the cellar, and they tapped the ground outside of the house where they found a series of small holes In the pipe where the gas was escaping. The gas was shut off, and a large hole was found in the pipe in the cellar. , All the members of the family are entirely recovered from the effects of Inhaling the gas with the exception of Mrs. Veregge, who Is still unable to be about, and is under a physician's care.

WHATEVER IS BEST flREDITjT DESIRES Has Formed No Opinion on Advisability of Early or Late Convention.

While Republicans over the entire state are discussing the question as to' when the state convention should be held, Linus Meredith of this city, who in all probability is to be Sixth District chairman, succeeding Elmer Bassett, of Shelbyvllle, is inclined to say but little on the subject. When asked today for his opinion on the convention date he declared that he is willing to leave this matter to Republicans who are better versed on the subject. Meredith states that he will favor any date which the majority of prominent Republicans in the state believe would be best for the ultimate success of the party. "If they believe that it would be best for the party to hold the convention early, then I am in favor of holding it tomorrow, and if they believe it best to hold it late then I would be in favor of holding it the day before the election," said Meredith. According to reports it is obvious that the preponderance of Republican opinion throughout the state is in favor of a late state convention for the nomination of the Btate ticket, with a special convention called to select the four national delegates-at-large. Tomorrow night the precinct meetings will be held in the various wards and precinct committeemen will be chosen, who will become members of the county central committee. Saturday afternoon the five precincts In Wayne township outside of the city will meet at 2:30 o'clock at the court house to elect precinct committeemen. Other townships throughout the county will also hold meeting some time Saturday. A digest of the new registration of voters' act and the corrupt practices act has been completed and Thomas M. Honan, attorney general, and Governor Marshall will send the digest broadcast throughout the state In an educational campaign. About 30,000 pamphlets have been printed containing the digest and the governor expects to have them distributed to the state central committees of both parties within the next few days, who in turn will see that they are distributed throughout the state so that voters may obtain them. MAKING UMBRELLAS. The Way These Necessary Artioles Are Put Together. In most umbrella factories the task of turning out ribs and stems Is left to other factories making a specialty of those parts. These are sent to the manufacturer, and the man whose work it is to assemble the parts Inserts a bit of wire Into the small holes at the end of the ribs, draws them together about the main rod and adjusts the ferrule. In cutting the cloth or silk seventyAt thicknesses or thereabouts are arranged upon a table at which skilled operators work. In one department there are girls who operate hemming machines. A thousand yards of hemmed goods is but a day's work for one of these girls. The machines doing this Job attain a speed of some 8,000 revolutions a minute. After the hemming has been done the cloth or silk is cut into triangular pieces with a knife, as before, but with a pattern laid npon the cloth. The next operation is the sewing of the triangular pieces togetb er by machinery. The covers and frames are now ready to be brought together. In all there are twenty-one places where the cover is to be attached to the frame. The handle Is next glued on, and the umbrella is ready for pressing and in spection.

EARLHAM IS W1HNER

In Basketball Game with Frankfin Team, Here. By the one-sided score of 39 to 16 the Quaker squad defeated the Franklin aggregation in a rather slow contest at the Coliseum last evening. From the start to the finish Earlham had everything its own way and consequently the game was uninteresting. The fact that the local five secured too good a start over the Franklin bunch caused the locals not to play in their best form. Berry, Brownell and Furnees played (he best game for Earlham. Gilbert was good on throwing baskets, making six field goals. Furness played a star game at guard. For Franklin, Sheek, the fast center, starred, lie displayed ability in last evening's contest and is said to be one of the best men in the state for this position. Preceding the game Cambridge City and Centerville high school teams played a curtain - raiser. The game was fast throughout, the score being 19 to 12, Centerville being victorious. The lineup for the Earlham-Frank-lin game was as follows: Earlham Franklin Forward Berry MeGuinn Forward Gilbert Hill Center Brownell Sheek Guard Furness (Capt.) Butin Guard Lancaster Wagner Summary: Field goals, Gilbert 6, Berry 5, Brownell 4, FurnessS, Sheek 3, McQuinn 3, Rau 1. Foul goals, Hill 2, Brownell 1. Referee Hardin, DePauw. Sporting Gossip The Athletics vs. Quakers at Philadelphia; Cardinals vs. Browns at St. Louis; Giants vs. Senators at Washington; and Boston Red Sox vs. Reds at Cincinnati comprise the inter-league spring series so far scheduled. "Billy" Earle, the veteran player, manager and ampire, has been signed as coach for the Louisville team. "Billy" will instruct the youngsters during practice and pull the Arlie Latham stuff on the side lines. The new baseball plant of the Detroit club will accommodate 30,000 people. Cleveland fans say the difference between the number the Tigers can accommodate and the number they will play is something like 27,000. Mean old things, those Cleveland bugs. It looks as If the Cardinals have roped a real scout In Dick Klnsella. Dick Is the discoverer of Doyle, Meyers, Wilson, Hartley and Crandall of the Giants. If Dick had been a big leaguer in 1492 the chances are that he would have beat Christy Columbus to it. President Lynch of the National league has completed his corps of umpires for the coming season. The staff will be composed of Johnstone, Owens, Klem, Rigler, Emslie, Eason, Brennan, Finneran and Bush. For the American league President Johnson has signed Dineen, Conolly, iO'Loughlin, Evans, Perrine, Egan, Wstervelt and Hart. WITH THE BOXERS.

Two hunters fould themselves some distance from a' town when darkness set in and prevailed upon a lonely settler to put them; up for the night. He had finished his supper, but there was an ample supply of stew in a pot, which they found delicious. The next morning the host said he was sorry that he hid. nothing to offer them for breakfast ut muskrat. "Muskrat!" echoed the hunters.

They Used to Eat Crew. Our forefathers despised some dishes which we regard as delicacies. In the thirteenth century, for Instance, although partridges abounded in England, they were eaten only by peasants and were never seen in the houses of the nobles. Hares, too, were despised by the upper classes, and even among the poor & strong prejudice existed against them. On the other hand, gourmets in the middle ages ate herons, cranes, crows, storks, cormorants, bitterns and other birds which would revolt the least dainty feeder of today. London Chronicle.

VIOLATE R0AD LAWS Warning Given Farmers by Township Trustee. A warning is being issued by the township trustee, In the form of large bills, posted in conspicuous places along the county roads. The caption of the poster which can be read from a distance is "If you violate the road laws don't blame the road officials for doing their duty." Complaints have been registered with trustees by road supervisors that the road laws are being violated by farmers who are hauling heavy loads over the roads during thawing weather, when the turnpikes are soft and that the small tires on wagons cut deeply into the roads. The road laws touching on this mattre provide a penalty for hauling a heavily loaded wagon which has less than three-inch tires, over the county roads when they are soft. This law does not pertain to the pikes which are under the supervision of the county commissioners.
