ASK MARSHALL TO LEID DEMOCRACY

Political Pot Boiling in Preparation For State Primary and Fall Campaign.

INMA.VAI'flUS, Jan. 10. Floth rrat parties in Indiana aro proj-ar-inr alrpa1y for th cmpaip-n of 131 and particularly for th I rlmary elections that are to be h-M rxt .prin wherein th; candidates fcr etat oftit r- will select '1. It is an as.su red fact that th pro-r.t rrpuMican lit of state otlicials will .-i.il Fri r- lection. A complete ..ilen Is evident on th part .f the democratic lenders, although party activity of certain .-ort shows that th-re is no lack of rtul preparation coin on. A conference of certain Mi? leaders of the democratic party was hel l at Anderson, Ind., earlier this week, and almost coincidently with tho holiinp of that metinp, it became juM"c in Indiana that negotiations "vrp under way for Vice I'res't Thomas It. Marshall to assume control of the democratic organization in Indiana and attempt to work out a plan whereby the party will be returned to power in this state at th next elrction. IejnHTats Hold Omfcrcwv. The conference at And'-rson was held by such democrats as Samuel ', M. Ilalston, former governor; John I A. M. Adair, candidate for governor nt the last election; Dale J. Crltteniers:er, formerly auditor of state, jtnd others who have been known ux the Kalston element in the party. No hint of what actually was done :tt this conference has been available, although Samuel M. Kalston, following the conference, indicated to the writer of these dispatches that "an cc waa laid." Whether it is planned to develop ;i struggle between the ltalston element of the party and the MarshaM clement is not ch ar at this time, but there are indications that .such a strudle will come to the front in the future, unless some sort of compromise on a "coalition leadership" is developed. There are many democrats in the state, who would li! f see a new iine of attack developed by the pai ty

in th (orning campaign. These democrats know that the republican administration is vulnerable in many places and they say that the personal ambitions of democrats throughout the state should be sacriflred and a united party front be placed against the i?hl of the republicans. With Woodrow Wilson as the nation's war president ar.d with much material already available on vhirh to l äse an attack ac-Unst the republicans these. democrats feel that the t ins plurality by whi h the republicans -arried the htate at the l.s-t election rnn be cut thousands of votes ami the democratic ticket if it Is one that will really appeal to the people of the state can go through the ropes an easy winner. Mar-hall Ixadrhip Talked. The talk about the vice president t. iking over the reins of the administration of the party in Indiana hai been heard spasmodically from time to time during the last yfar or more and now has broken out afresh f.ie Ilalston wing of the party having been the group that led the fight at the last election and reing defeated, there are many who believe that Marshall so far unbeaten in Iiis political career is the logical man to take up the task of reorganizing and revivifying the pa-ty. Marshall, trior to this time, has consistently kept his hands off the local affairs, except to such an extent as the federal patronage came to him for distribution and that was in small part. From now on, it is hinted at Washington, the vice president may agree to step in and manage the organization, if he can i without disrupting it. From this distance it appears that some such change in the organizing force of the party must be made if an effective fight is to be made against the republicans. May Start Firework. With some such plan, the fireworks might open up on the republicans at once. It is a common report in statehouse circles that enough campaign material exists already in the statehouse family to cause several large explosions, when it is made punlic in the proper way to get its full effect by the democrats. There are several state oflicials, for instance, it is known, who are proceeding in the administration of their offices on the theory that laws they are supposed to enforce will enforce themselves. Therj arc hundreds f cases against public officials throughout Indiana, for ( xample, which have been certified to the attorney general by the state board of accounts for collection of Mima charged against such officials. Some of these cases are notorious. Nothing has been done towards col-

lectin? them, although the law of 1317 says that the attorney general shall prosecute such cases. The case of Mr. Henry Roberts, whose office the legislature believed it had abolished at the 191." session, is one that will call for a, great deal of scrutin by the democrats when they get, ready to open fire. After being kept in the state house for months .ifter hi office expired, by reason of the claw-- on the appropriation act of F.H7. Uoberts finally was made the "victim" of an e pinion from the attorney general, in which he was "read into office again" and th entire effect of the legislature's abolition of his office was lost and nullified. Sine AbolMiod Office. Roberts' salary was cut by the opinion, it is true, from $:;,000 annually to L'.00f, but meanwhile Mrs. Roberts, who had been chief clerk in Roberts' office prior to his official "demise" already had been taken rare of with a job in the office of John A. Iapp. former legislative reference librarian, whose office also vas abolished, but who was enabled to remain in office anyway to compile the governor's year book. Mr. Lapp ha.s resigned from the office and gone elsewhere but the work of publish'ng the year book is continuing. Thus the action of the legislature in that instance also was lost. Then, when it is remembered that the woman suffrage law and the constitutional convention law, enacted by the legislature, have been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, it is wondered why the 1917 legislature met and cost the state a hundred thousand dollars anyway. It might just as well have remained in its respective homes. Some of these things will not be forgotten by the voters, if they are presented in the proper light by a reasonably strong democratic state ticket. If. however, the democrats continue in the internecine difficulties that have lead them into trouble for two years in Indiana, or if groups of selfish leaders block reorganization of the party for political war purposes and to achieve their own ends, then the republicans, who are bound by the tie of patronage just row very closely, will have little trouble in capturing the state again, it appears. Charles A. Greathouse, state chairman of tho democratic party, this- week announced the appointment of Fred Van Nuyp, formerly of Anderson, a popular and brilliant young attorney, as secretary to the state committee. Mr. Van Xi.ys should make a good official in his new position, since he has lately shown tendencies to harmonize all elements of the party, rather than to align himself with any particular clique and faction of the party.

Cut Ships in Two to Reach Atlantic Through Canal

W A SHIN'IT O N . Ann.

The

shipping Y"ard has brought out o

the CIreat Iakes Mnce last summer 4S steamers, aggregating about I 000 tons, and has arranged to bring out 30 more when navigation opens in the spring. Of those brought out, 4 4 now are operating in the Atlantic trade. A statement reviewing the work, issued Tuesday n-ght by the board, reveals that four of the ships met with disaster in the Ft. Lawrence. One- the Tuscarora, was (aught in a gale and has never been heard from, while the G. N. Orr and Codorus were Mown ashore in the same storm and are now on the beach. The fourth, the Faranac. was grounded by the gale that swept Halifax after the explosion ther last month and still is aground, but a contract to salvage her has been let. Twenty-one of the vessels brought to the Atlantic were old craft in service on the lakes and the other 27 were new vessels commandeered in the yards. Sixteen of the old vessels had to be cut in two in order to get them through the Weiland canal locks, hut it was necessary to cut in two only two of the new ships. Tho ships were put together again at Montreal, the work having been under the direction of Engineer F. A. Ustis. Virtually all of the 20 vessels to come out in the spring will have to be cut in two and that work will be done at once so that the hulls will be ready to move when navigation on the lakes reopens.

VIENNA, via Iiondon. .Ian. 16. The Austro-Hungarian war office Tuesday issued the following statement concerning the fighting on the Italian front: "Between the Brenta and Monte Pcrtica, the Italians advanced to the attack after strong artillery preparations, which increased sometimes to drum fire. After very violent hand to hand fighting, the enemy succeeded at a few points in penetrating our trenches, but was expelled by counter attacks. At many of the ; ints of attack, the first battle line is completely in our possession. The enemy suffered heavy losses. "On the lower Piave an enemy advance near Rressanin was quickly arrested."
