Is received and carefully noted. "When you took the position you ;did last January, you soon discovered that you had buen laboring under a misapprehension.

quarters when you were here Monday consulting with some gentlemen who are now co-operating with the Republican state machine In Indiana, when I am sure wu could have recalled to your mind some facts that you have evidently overlooked. "Neither personally nor officially have I said anything derogatory of any former supporter of Progressive ideals, but I wish to say to you now' that I do not, personally approve of the authority assumed by our Progressive national committee on the 26th ult. "On June 26th a vacancy occurred on our Progressive national ticket by reason of Mr. Roosevelt declining to accept the nomination. Our national committee had authority to fill this vacancy. Conditions Are Peculiar. "Indiana is in a peculiar condition. It Is farther behind the times than any other state in the Union in many respects. The platform adopted by the Republican state convention compares favorably Avith the Whig platform of 1S52. The candidates nominated at the Republican state convention are, without, exception, of the mo3t reactionary type the very men whom Progressives have been combating, politically for twenty years. "The above conditions demand, as our state committee sees it. a Progressive state convention, a Progressive state ticket, a Progressive platform and a campaign for the principles above set out." CONSIDER CHASSIS ?0K MOTOR TRUCKS The board of public works and Fire Chief Miller today again considered the various bids for four motor-driven chassis, to be used for the motorization of four fire companies. Xo decision as to the letting of the contract was reached but it was stated the contractwould probably go either to the Service Motor Truck company of Wabash, Ind., or to the Kelly-Spring-field Truck company of Springfield, Ohio.

SfQL CONSUMER

T PAY SHARE IN RATE INCREASE Although the rate is not increased for Mr. Small Consumer in the water rate order just promulgated by tho Public Service commission, he is, nevertheless, going to pay his full share of the increased revenue the commission believes the Richmond City Water Work3 company i3 entitled to. Mr. Small Consumer Is to "get his" through the medium of the minimum charge the commission has established. Hitherto there has been no minimum charge for water in this city. Means 50 Cer.ts Monthly. When the new rates become effective Mr. Small Consumer is going to contribute to the water company 50 cents a month, or $G a year, whether he uses that amount or not. And Mr. Small Consumer does not use that amount of water in a year. His annual water bill has been not to exceed $4 a year in years past. There are minimum charges for the various classes of large consumers of water but, as a whole, such consumers utilize more water each month than the minimum charge, and, with one exception, the rates for these various classes of large consumers remain the same. The exception are those using between 10,000 and 90.000 gallons a month. An increase of from 12 to 13 cents a thousand gallons is provied for such consumers.
