Democrats Favor State Convention In
June.

indianapolis Cor. Evansville Courier
The sentiment in favor of med
ium early state convention is grow
ing among democrats. A short
time ago late convention was all
the talk, but this has changed now.
Probably the attitude of Chair
man Martin of the state committee
has had something to do with it.
Mr.. Martin is an advocate of an
early convention TO be held not later
than the middle ofJune. He could
not possibly be more strongly ir-
clined toward an early convention
than is secretary Wallace. Both
believe in waging a thorough cam
paign next year, and they believe
that the best way to do it is to get
the ticket in the field and the can
didates on the stump as soon as
possible. They want to make as
perfect a fight as possible.

Geology Of Southern Indiana.

The soil of Southern Indiana is 50
fertile and has been SO productive
in the past that the people OF this
section have generally been content
to occupy their minds with the de-
velopement Of what was in sight,
and few attempts have been made
to ascertain the value of underlying
deposits. In brief space it would
not be possible TO discuss in detail a
subject Of such importance. Out
size of Nigo county, and the sue
cessful experiments made at Peters
burg, no effort is being made at de-
veloping the mineral resources.
rhe attention of the state geologist
does not appear to have been direct
I'd TO this part of the state for some
time, but during the present year
this fell will be under consioera-
ton. The amazing want OF reliable
information on the part OF the aver

has any idea OF the location of the

Still another thing that is creating
comment was the very friendly ex-
change of compliments between
Senator Fairbanks and Governor
Mount. This caused quite a ripple
of comment and made the friends
of Gen. Wallace, judi Taylor and
Mr.. Hanley look at each other in
astonishment. Senator Fairbanks
was the first to make a speech at
the conference and, after calling at
tention TO the great prosperity the
republican party had brought to the
country, as he said, he insisted that
all the pledges had either been full
filled or would be. He said the
tariff bill had been passed; one
which would under ordinary condi-
tions yield ample revenue, and the
next thing for congress to do was
to pass some currency reform legis-
lation. This, he said, was impera-
tive and should be insisted upon.
The senator said the republicans
would continue their allegiance to
the gold standard. He gave the
administration great Jolly, took
the position he expressed in The
Sentinel yesterday morning and
closed with warm tribute to Gov
ernor Mount. In view Of what may
happen it might be interesting to
preserve the words of the senator.
Said he in closing:
"We are proud of the splendid
state administration which the re-
publican party has given to Indiana.
While we are proud of the admin
istration of Mckinley, we also take
pride in the conservative, progress
sive, wise administration Of Cover
nor James A. Mount. (Great ap-
plause.) Both our president and
our governor have richly vindicated
the good judgment manifested by
the people in their elevation to their
high offices. May we all go forth
from this hall inspired with new
enthusiasm and determina' ion in
the right"
The governor spoke next, and he
took his cue from the senator.
Prosperity, currency reform, gold
standard and Jolly for the presi-
dent compi, ted the program for the
governor and he close 1 with state
ment OF how proud he was of Sena-
tor Fairbanks, whom he placed n
long with Harrison and Moit,n.
This was the first mention of Har-
rison's name, and it did not produce
even a ripple. Some in the front
rows looked around over their
shoulders in covert way to see
what the rest were going to do, but
as no one had the nerve to start any
applause the name of the ex.presi-
den. vert without any ovation.
In fact, Harrison wasn't in it from
start TO finish. His name was men
toned three times during the en-
tire day, and then only casually
without applause. 1t made the
thing all the more emphatic to have
his name bcougnt up few times.
