More than 200 democrats, among them many of the prominent leaders of the state, attended the first organization meeting of the state committee that has been held outside of Indianapolis at the Westcott hotel in Richmond Tuesday afternoon and evening. An Informal "war dinner" followed the business sessions, with a speech-test In which Dick Miller of Indianapolis was the headllner, and Fred VanNuys the toastmaster. Every District Represented. All of the democratic nominees on the state ticket were here except Evan Stotsenberg, New Albany, candidate for attorney general, and John C. McNutt, Martinsville, candidate for Judge of the supreme court. Every congressional district In the state was represented, and all of the chairmen of the county central committees in the Sixth district were here except Charles Hack of Shelby. The following chairmen were in attendance at the afternoon and evening conference: Horace Yergin, Henry county; Jesse Stevens, Union county; F. M. Edwards, Fayette county; Plutarch Montrose, Hancock county; Sherman O'Neill, Rush county; Frank X. Setbert, Franklin county; Joshua Allen, Wayne county. In an Interview Tuesday afternoon Mr. Van Nuys said that the war was the paramount Issue with the democratic party and that they would go the limit in backing President Wilson and the administration. It was the concensus of opinion among committeemen and candidates, however, he said, that state Issues should not be overlooked. "Contrary to Principles." : He said that It was the opinion of the conference at the session Tuesday afternoon that the centralization of authority in the hands of Governor Goodrich for appointing officers who are now elected, is contrary to the principles for which the government Is now fighting. He said that It would be vigorously opposed by the democrats. Reports made by the various committees Indicated that the people are pleased with tho stand taken at the democratic state convention for the repeal of the law for the compulsory teaching of German In the public echols, Mr. Van Nuys said. The republicans were criticised for not having taken the same stand. At the dinner following the conference the state chairman said that the plan of the committee 1b to "democratize" the state organization by holding "get together" meetings In every congressional district, similar to the conference in Richmond Tuesday. Dick Miller Speaks. Dick Miller of Indianapolis, democratic candidate for mayor of that city at the last election, was the first speaker at the evening sesion. Ho spoke vigorously In support of President Wilson. He emphasized the importance of the enactment of the federal reserve banking act, claiming that Jt enabled America to stand the severe financial strain occasioned by the war. Without it he maintained that a tremendous financial disaster might have attended the war. He insisted that if the democrats had done no more than enact the federal reserve act this would be sufficient warrant for the election of another democratic congress. Mr. Miller referred with sarcasm to the claims he said have been made by the republican party to the effect that the democrats are without sufficient brains to run the government. He paid that the democratic party was the party of the people. ; "The republicans do not have the courage to put through a law like the federal reserve act because It would have distributed the money powers that they regard as so Important to their party." VanNuys Talks. Chairman VanNuys made the prin

cipal speech of the evening from the standpoint of political importance. He was presented by Joshua Allen, chairman of the Wayne county democratic central committee. He predicted that if the same spirit la shown by democrats in other district meetings as that displayed in Richmond, that the state will go democratic by 50,000. He explained that the ntfitings will be arranged in the various districts so that they will not Interfere with war activities. VanNuys dealt vigorously with the republican leaders In Indiana, contrasting the recent republican state convention unfavorably with the democratic convention. He condemned Senators Watson and New and Governor Goodrich for their criticism of President Wilson and the administration. He asserted that the democrats will be able to show that the records of some of the Indiana congressmen and senators on war measures have not been right; that while they claim they have stood by the government, that have. In reality, attempted to defeat war measures for which they finally voted. VanNuys referred to Will Hayes, national republican chairman, as a harmonlzer, and asserted that the democrats do not need a harmonizer. In conclusion the state chairman declared that the republicans can never carry Indiana next fall by the methods they are pursuing. He declared that the domocratlc organization has not said that It did not desire the votes

MONSTER GUNS GO TO FRANCE FROMAMERICA Soon Will be Independent of Allies Factories Which Supplied Pershing. WASHINGTON. July 3 Americanbuilt 155-millimeter howitzers are now moving to France, supplementing the equipment of General Pershing's troops heretofore obtained from French ordnance factories. One American firm, which had never touched ordnance work of any character prior to America's entry into the war, is turning out these guns at the rate of ten a day from a factory the site of which was a flourishing corn field last August. These facts were disclosed today to newspaper correspondents from Washington, who visited the new army proving ground at Aberdeen as the guests of Col. W. A. Phillips, -commandant. A long row of the 155s tested, approved and awaiting shipping orders was one of the most striking object lessons of the trip. The Howitzers, which are of French design, are of approximately six-inch bore and are the heavy barrage guns which support an Infantry advance against an entrenched position. The United States soon will be independent of its co-belligerents for guns of this type. 36,000 Acres of un Plant. The visitors today were shown just a day's work in progress on this 36,-000-acre tract of land that a year ago heard no more warlike sound than a hunter's gun. Today several miles of firing line barked and roared with biggun blasts and out on the ranges sudden black smoke cloud3 marked the burst of high explosive shells timed to break in air, or leaping epouts of sand and dirt told of havoc wrought by missies designed to wreck German trenches. From a high observation tower the party looked down on the trench warfare section. Beginning with rifle grenades, all sizes of mortars were hammering away. The three-inch Stokes' mortars stood out in the open, but the big fellows, up to the huge Sutton-Stokes 11-inch monster developed by a British ordnance officer in this country, stood in stockade shelters. A row of demolished gun6, which had burst in tests, constituting the post "cemetery."
