DUTY OF VOTER TO KEEP PARTY FQULIORGUES As Principal Speaker at Progressive"Love Feast" Richmond Man Criticises Presi-. dent's Policies.

William Dudley Foulke was the chief speaker at the Indiana Progressive love feaat at Indianapolis, which was attended by some two hundred followers, representing all parts of the state, last night. Frederick B. Landis of Logansport, who was scheduled as the headliner, wired from New York city his inability to be present. Mr. Foulke emphasized the need for adequate national defenses to make the United States secure against' aggression from the west or east. Resolutions were adopted declaring for a constitutional convention and opposition to the proposed "Stotsenberg" amendments now pending in the legislature. Among the Wayne county men who attended were Senator Walter McConaha. Representative J. W. Judklns and County Treasurer A. N. Chamnesa. Mr. Wilson criticised the Wilson administration for the repeal of the Panama tolls exemption, after the Democratic party had declared for exemption Ui its national platform. "It might be urged that national honor must stand higher than a party declaration," continued Mr. Foulke. "If so, why did the party declare a doctrine that was against our national honor?" Numerous instances of the Wilson administration breach of civil service rules were cited by Mr. Foulke, including Secretary Bryan's now celebrated "deserving Democrats" letter. Democratic failure to protect Americans in Mexico, in defiance of a platform pledge, and an attitude of indifference toward the navy and national defenses, also in violation of party promises, were mentioned by Mr. Foulke. "Our duty is clear. It is to maintain intact the organization established by Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson and Albert J. Beveridge," concluded Mr, Foulke. U. S.

Local Poet Writes War Bulletins Narrating Latest News in Verse

The shouting of the belligerent nations proclaiming their victories for the effect It will have on the United States Is the idea expressed by L. A. Handly in five war bulletins in verse, showing the tendencies of the boards of censors In directing what news matter may reach this country. "War News for One Day" follows: ' From London ' ' We sunk a battleship today and put to flight three cruisers, We won six trenches In a row and killed a million bruisers. The Germans cringe and starving seem, at least we hear It's so, And at the pace we're setting now they'll surely have to go. From Berlin Three English boats we sunk today and killed a lot of French, A million Russians put to flight and dumped them in a trench; Our Zeppelins make them all bow low and tremble in a fright, With Providence to help us out we're sure to win the fight. From Paris With fierce attack and steadily we gain from day to day, Five hundred thousands Germans fled and have no place to stay; Our aeroplanes spread terror and drop their bombs precise, Before our troops our enemies are timid as the mice. From Petrograd Our legions drove the Austrians like sheep before a gale. Before our fighting millions the bravest seem to quail; One hundred thousand prisoners we captured here today. And all the hosts against us can't stop us on our way. From Washington Just read the news about the war and choose what to believe. The most of it is handed out with purpose to deceive, And when you've stopped to realize the horrors of one day, Just thank the Lord with all your heart you're In the U S. A.

The outcome of the case will be widely circulated as there have been few similar cases in Indiana in the past fe wyears.

BAKERS MAY TAKE OUNCE OFF LOAVES Richmond bakers, it is understood, have decided that notwithstanding the high price of flour they will not increase the price of bread above five cents a loaf although another on ounce reduction in the size of loafs is a prospect. Six months ago flour was being purchased by Richmond bakers at $4.0 a barrel. Today the market price for flour is $7.25 a barrel. Most of the bakeries had purchased a considerable quantity of flour at $2.50 a barrel. One or two of them still has a supply of this moderate price flour on hand but others are now finishing up flour for which they had to pay $6 a barrel. When the bakeries have to go into the market for more flour at top notch prices they will probably reduce the size of loaves is from 15 to 14 ounces, ounces. In many larger cities the loaves is now only 12 ounces. size of RAID BUTTERINE PLANT IN CHICAGO BY LEASED WIRE-1 CHICAGO, Jan. 30.

Henry Ford, the millionaire automo bile manufacturer, photographed on the witness stand at a bearing of the federal industrial relations commission in the New York city hall. Mr. Ford's testimony was the most sensational yet heard by the commission. He said in part: "If the right is given me I guarantee to take every unfortunate out of Sing Sing prison and make a man of him. At the present time we have a great many men in our employ who have ben in prison and who are social outcasts. Every one of them is making good, and is gaining in self-respect and strength of character. "Justice, not charity, is what the worker desires.
