the rate of taxation has been raised and
there is a strong demand for new form
of government. Mayor Steeg had sent invi-
tations to the authorities of other cities in
the State asking them to send representa-
tiVes to a meeting TO organize a state
municipal league to secure legislation chang
ing the charters of cities. but only a few
signifed a desire to join in the movement,
ana therefore Terre Haute is going to make
the effort alone. 1t was plainly understood
in the Council that the law was to be
WOrded SO that it would not deprive any one
now in office of his position before the end
of the term for which he was elected This
would mean that the police commissioners
appointed by Governor Mount will serve
through his term at least and that City
Treasurer BOrgstrom, who took Office for
a four years term last September will not
be disturbed. By common consent the duties
of the city treasurer are to be placed on
the county treasurer.

WASHINGTON. Jan. u.-Senator Fair

kept his hands off throughout the contest,

by the friends of every candidate but one
to interest himself. Each and every one was
and is his personal friend, and he felt him
self to be under political obligations to a
greater or less extent to all. He weighed
the situation carefully and decided that
under the circumstances the wise and pru-
dent thing for him to do was to hold en-
tirely aloof. Then none could have valid
grounds for complaint. He has consistently
adhered from the first to the policy of non
interference and has been free to state his
position to all who had the right to ask
him How he stood"

general, expresses his entire satisfaction

men in the country He is a young man,
and coming as he does right from the activ-
tiles of civil life. he is in close touch with
the people and in sympathy with them. He
will prove an able senator and ! predict for
him a magnificent record. He will get right
down and work for Indiana and Will ac-
compish results. He is the peer of the best
as an orator and he is brimfull of enthus-
iasm and energy and withal possesses tact
and rare courage. He will take kindly TO
Washington and if / am any judge Wash
ington will reciprOcate cordially. My rela-
tions with all Of the candidates have been
friendly and with none more so than Mr..
Steele and Mr.. Beverage"

dial words to say of and about Mr.. Bever-
idge and without exception they predict
