ROCKFORD NOT WANTED.
Popocrats VIII Not Allow Him to Han
die What Little Money They Have

There was a meeting of Democrats at
the Grand Hotel yesterday morning to see
what they could do to be saved from John
Rockford and the general mismanagement
of Popocratic county affairs The meeting
were originally for gold, but have since de-
clared for the Bryan ticket in order to
keep in line with their party. Among
those who attended were Thomas l.. Sui
livan, John w. Kern, j. E. Bell, Maurice
Donnelly, Charles Barrett and Andrew
Stephen. They came together at the re-
quest of the county candidates to see if
something could not be done toward rails
ing a campaign fund and carrying on a
night for the Popocratic ticket in Marion
John Rockford is proving a miserable
failure in his efforts to organize the coun-
ty In the first place he has been unable
to collect enough funds to keep the ma
chinery going. This is due partly to the
fact that most of the Democrats who have
means are acting with the National De-
mooracy and do not feel like contributing
to the Popocratic organization, and partly
to the fact that those of the ''now-in-line"
clement who are able to contribute do not
they declare has surrounded himself with
a lot of hangers-on who know no other
style of campaign work than holding up
candidates for beer money, and who can
not control any votes but their own.
AT Yesterdays conference the members
discussed the feasibility of the idea of
building up a separate organization in the
county that could be trusted to put the
money where ii will do the most good. but
no definite conclusion was reached. 1t is
will this class of men contribute TO the
county campaign.

DRAWING CONTEST.
Frank w. WaIIick Receives First and
Bessie NJ. Smith Second Prize.

A good deal of interest has been taken
by the youngsters of the city in the prize
drawing contest at Charles Mayer & Co.'S
store on Washington street, which began
last Monday. The Blaidsdell Paper Pencil.
Company offered two prizes for the best
drawings by school children, the first a S.
gold piece. with box of drawing crayons

In one of the windows of the toy store, and
have attracted good deal of attention.
Representatives from the Journal News
and Sun decided the contest yesterday in
favor of Frank w. Wallick, the thirteen
year-old son of John r. Wallick superin-
tendent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The lad made an excellent
drawing of his favorite violin, hanging near
shelf on the wall, on which rested book
and candelstick. Bessie M. Smith, of West
field, Ind, was awarded the second prize.
She choose for her subject a stack of
others. With considerable deftness she
brought out the jagged lines of the torn
and mutilated edges of the open book. The
three newspaper men had no idea of the
names of the youthful artists until after
the contest was decided. Mr.. Mayer says
that Ii was the intention to have the con-
test limited to indianapolis school children,
but that fact was not stated in the
nouncement of the contest, and the little
considered two other pictures worthy of
special mention-that of the front entrance
of the Arcade and of dog hitched to a
cart. Frank Wallick. who won the first
prize. is a very skillful violin player, and
delights as much in music as in art.

REPUBLICAN TRAVELLERS, LEAGUE.
A Movement to Form National Or
EanizatiOn of Clubs.

A Movement to Form a National Or
ganizatiOn of Clubs.
At a meeting of the Commercial Travel
ers' Republican Club last night a communi-
cation was read from the Michigan Repub-
lican Commercial Travellers State League
urging that a league be formed in this
State to cooperate with Michigan Wiscon-
SIM Ohio and Illinois in forming a national
league of Republican commercial travel
ers' clubs. The Republican commercial
travellers Of this State are pretty well or
ganized already, but in order to form
basis for a State league it is necessary
to have more thorough local organization
in the principal cities of the State. A COM
mittee was appointed, consisting of b. H.
Prather, chairman, II. F. Ryan and w. H.
Nicoles to carry out the plan proposed by
the Michigan league. The committee will
correspond with Republican commercial
travellers in other cities and urge them TO
organize clubs to become identified with the
State League. When this is accomplished
it is the purpose to have delegates from In
diana attend a national convention, When
the national league will be formed. 1t will
work in harmony with the Republican ma
tiOnal committee.
Arrangements are being made for big
meeting at the Commercial Travellers Hall
next Saturday night, when an address Will
date for Congress from this district The
Baldhead Glee Club will be present to fur
niSh music Tor the OCCASION Inc n1dfioH
Club and other Republican organizations
have been invited to be present, and the
indications are that very interesting
meeting will be held.
The personal experiences related by the
travelling men who are in the thick of the
political battle are highly entertaining
Last night one member of the club said
that he had observed that a great deal OF
effective missionary work is being done by
his fellows
1.-The first thing we do said he, lis to
throw our sample cases unoer d counter
when we get to a hotel and begin talk
ing politics. That's about all there Is for
us to do, no one seems TO care TO puy

The club has a membership of several
hundred active, intelligent workers. and
has been regarded a strong factor in
campaigns of the past. The members OF
the club are determined that it shall do
oood work this wear.

Chairman Holt Is There to Stay, but
Sflverites Want to Dust Him.


The friendly manner in which Sterling
r. Holt chairman of the Popocratic State
committee, met and mingled with the
sound money Democrats during their con-
vention has again aroused the wrath OF
the silver extremists and they are once
more demanding his resignation. During
the convention rumor was pretty gener-
ally circulated that Mr.. Holt intended TO
resign and declare for the nominees of the
convention. This he strenuously denied
and still denies that he has any intention
of resigning. a number of the Popocratic
speakers who gathered here yesterday
morning before scattering out to their Sat
urday afternoon and evening assignments
discussed the situation very grs.yeiy. They
understand that Mr.. Holt is not making
any effort to raise a campaign fund, but is
depending entirely upon the national COM
mittee for the sinews of war, and the des-
ultory fashion in which the speaking cam
paign has been carried on up to date is

A Warren Township Poll.

The Students Lincoln League, wishing
to ascertain the political sentiment of War
rem township, took poll of the farmers
residing on the National road from Irving
ton to Cumberland. The beneficial influ
ence that the acceptance letter of Mckin-
ley and the New York address of Harrison
has exercised on the thoughtful farmers of
the township cannot be overestimated.
The silver craze which swept over the Ma
ton two months ago was Enthusiastically
felt in Warren, but the activity of the
sound-money adherentS has caused the
farmers to flock to the standard of patri-
otism, protection and prosperity. Out of
total of 80 farmers interviewed between
Irvington and Cumberland, one is for Palm
er. four are for Bryan and twenty-seven
are for Mckinley. Cumberland, which has
always been considered a Democratic
stronghold, casting 255 votes FOR Cleveland
and ninety-five for Harrison in 1892, is rap
idly increasing its number of sound-money
men through the able efforts of the Repub-
lican speakers. The poll was taken w
