Republican District Con, ention.

The republicans of the Thirteenth
congressional district met in conven-
ton at Kuhn's hall Tuesday, one
hundred and eighteen delegates being
present.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Crockett, after which l.. W.
Royse was chosen permanent chairman
of the day. Mr.. ROyse in taking the
chair gave an address very pleasing to
his audience. He said that the repub-
lican party favored expansion of terri
tory and expansion of republicans.
Among other things be insisted that he
did not want it to be said that Royse
ever sulked in his tent. He thought
that mule is remarkable for its kick
ing propenslties; and he knew that II
was not noted for intellectually. Hence
he concluded that 1t does not take
much brains to kick.
G. w. Rittick, of Pulaski county, was
chosen temporary secretary.
The counties were then called to ex.
press their choice for district chairman
No county had candidate except st
Joseph, which presented Elmer Crockett
for reelection. He was unanimously
chosen.
Mr.. Crockett made a very pleasing
address, after which Col. Dodge wat
called, and being introduced as the
next governor of Indiana, blushingly
acknowledged that he was in the race.
| The convention endorsed Col. Dodge
for governor.

The Antitrust Conference.

The antitrust conference TO be held
In Chicago on Lincoln's birthday, Feb.

of great eminence in the nation, and all
noted for their intelligence, effective
and uncompromising hostility TO trusts.
1t will be remembe that few weeks

auspices of the civic federation, which
professed tn be wholly discussion of

News DenoUnceS *. of P's,

The editor of the Independent after
being black baled by every respectable
society he ever attempted To enter where
people are acquainted with him, has the
brazen impudence to talk about the un-
popularity of other people plymouth
News.
The above article is sample of the
lying insults which the News has been
dishing out during it's present owner
ship. The publisher of the Indepen-
dent Is a member of a Greek Letter
society and member of the knights
of Phythias. According TO the above
clipping from the News, these are not re-
spectacle societies. There are over
two hundred Knights in Plymouth who
will doubtless be able to stand this sluI
and they will be honorably considered
long after the publisher of that defunc'
she ct has been discountenanced by al
respectable people. So far as the pub
Usher of the Independent is concerned
he simply has this TO say: "That he ha.
never yet been blackballed by any
society,"

Why They Sat on Him.

The republicans say that there were
several good reasons for setting down
on the proprietor of the News first,
because he is a renegade; second, be-
cause the conduct of his sheet has been
such that it is no longer influential
and they thought that he would pilot
the party downward as he has been do
ing with bis paper; third, because he is
novice in politics.

the contract the builders were to re-
ceive fixed amount each year as rent
and at the expiration of certain num-
Der of years the property would pass
into the hands of the town. This, it is
claimed is an indirect purchase and,
since it would place the town un0er a
debt greater than 2 per cent. of the val
uation of its real estate, is unconstitu-
tiOnal.
Another cause for complaint is found
in the alleged effectiveness of the
