INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 1S.-It is
announced at the headquarters of the
national Democratic party, that the
address to the country, which the ex-
ecutive committee was instructed to
issue by the recent conference in this
city, will be issued from Chicago on

ing on Monday a copy will be sent to
each of the members If, when the
full executive committee meets, it is
approved by all members, it will be
sent broadcast over the country.
AT the same meeting a report will be
received from the subcommittee on
transportation and also a report from
the committee on literature. Messrs.
Bynum and Wilson, who are in charge
of the headquarters here, say that they
are In receipt of requests for literature
from all parts of the country, and they
regret very much that they are unable
to meet the demand. They have re-
ceived one box of pamphlets entitled
"a Dollar Worth a Dollar" which con-
tains speeches by Secretary Carlisle
and others on the money question, but
even the supply of this pamphlet is so
limited that it will not meet one-tenth
of the demand. Nearly all the copies
received here have. been sent out and
the supply will be exhausted tomorrow.
The local committee, that has been ar
ranging for the accommodation of the
delegates and visitors to the national
convention, will make a report at the
Chicago meeting on Monday through
Messrs. Wilson and Bynum regarding
the progress of the arrangements here.

chairman of the notification committee,

chairman of the notification committee,
In delivering the formal notification
reviewed the fact that Mr.. Johnson had
been nominated by the Prohibition
convention of Illinois for governor be-
lore the higher honor was conferred on
aim. Mr.. Johnson, responding to the
notification. said In part:
The action Of the majority OF the convention
at Pittsburg in making the prohibition of the
liquor traffic the only article in our political
creed. meets my most heartfelt appreciation.
For the first time in Its history, the party Is
IN position to invite the cooperation Of all
the friends of prohibition, without asking
them to sacrifice their convictions on any
other question. The dissatisfied elements In
the old parties, which are the only scource
OF supply In building up our party, will not
come to us If they are compelled to vote for
several measures In which they do not be-
leve, in order to vote for one in which they
DO believe. Many of our people believe that
our present financial depression, low prices
and hard times are the result of bad fnan-
cial legislation and that an increase in the
amount of money by the free coinage of sill
yer would prove a remedy for these condi-
lions. l concur with them in their opinion,
that we must return to the full and free use
Of both of these metals in order to keep our
circulating medium in a proper proportion to
our population. but ! do not believe, in the
present condition of affairs, that the free COIN
age Of silver would afford us any substantial
relief. With more money in circulation al
though we might temporarily have better
times, the sum wasted in the saloons would
be increased so that 1t would not permanent
ly beneht us In any appreciable degree. 1t Is
doubtless true that the storm center in poll
tics this year will be between the free coin
age of silver at ratio of 16 to / and the
maintenance of the existing old standard
Voters will be importuned to postpone the set
tlement of the liquor question until the finan-
clal question Is settled, as we have been here
tofore fmportuned to postpone it until the
tar1H question was settled.
