of permanent White Supremacy, the Re

can govern the State. 1t is announced
that Senator Pritchard introduced a
resolution in the Senate declaring the
Constitutional Amendment to be voted
on next August unconstitutional. Speak

court house bell aroused the entire popl-
laton, and the men fought the fire
heroically but before the flames were
stayed about $1,000 to $4,000 worth of
property was destroyed.
Mr.. Riyenbark's stables, a frame

he had no insurance. The Angola Lum-

insurance.
The flames communicated to the store

very few goods being saved. They car

PRIMARY ELECTION FOR SENA-
TOR.

The way to eliminate is to eliminate.
In 1894 one of the causes that contrib
uted to Democratic defeat was due to
the Senatorial contest which made itself
felt in the nomination of candidates for
the Legislature. The wisest men Of the
party, having regard to the past injury
from this cause, are seeking to eliminate
the Senatorial contest from the August
election and defer it until af-
ter the vote ON the Con-
stitutional amendment. There is but one
way to do that, and that is to provide a
general primary to be held after the
August election. The State Executive
Committee at its meeting ON Monday
night adopted this resolution:
Resolved, That the question of the
selection of candidate for United
States Senator be referred to the peO-
pie in the call for the next State Demo-
cratic Convention for such action as that
convention may deem best.
It was the purpose of the committee
to have the State chairman, in his call
for the State Convention, request the
people in their primary conventions to
consider the suggestion Of primary for
Senator so that when the State Conven-
ton meets the delegates will be ready to
pursue the course decided upon by the
people in the township and county con
yentions
1t is a matter Of great moment, and
we believe now that the question is to be
brought to the direct attention of the
voters there is no doubt that the State
Convention will eliminate the Senatorial
contest by ordering primary after the
August election.
