STATE OF UNCERTAINTY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. Awhile the
politicians parley over the selection of
the leaders of the Democratic party, the
students at Indiana University are quietly
preparing TO settle the matter by holding
soon a mock Democratic national conven
ton. The scheme was cor ceved by two
professors John NJ. Clapp, mead of the de-
partment of public speaking. and Mayo
Fessler, of the department of history and
political science, both of whom are anxious
TO give the members of their classes a brief
drill in the practical workings of national
convention. The affair VII be made as real
istic and as serious as amateurs can make
it, The convention will be representative
of the Democratic assembly. because it is
thought that the uncertainty Of the lead
erS of this party as well as the sharp con-
test anticipated in formulating a platform
Will give wide range for elaborate speeches
and heated discussions. Everything that
characterizes the workings of the national
gathering Will be put into play, and noisy
demonstrations are promised.
The membership of the various college
societies and organizations will be used to
represent the State delegations and this
will enlist practically the entire student
body with the exception of girls, who will
be permitted in the gallery of the gymna-
SUM, where the exercises are to be held, and
the public and faculty members will sit
with them and watch the amateur politi-
clans.
The convention will offer a form of en-
tertainment never recently enjoyed here.
and the students are taking great interest
in the proposed plan. Many are posting
up on party history and reading the political
columns OF the newspapers to be in readi-
| ness Tor spell-binding speeches.

Law of 1908, He Said, Clearly
Disfranchised, in Effect, a Large
Proportion of Citizenship.
EQUALITY NOT SECURED

Special to the indianapolis Journal
LAWRENCEBURC, Ind, Feb. Judge
G. E. Downey. of the Dearborn Circuit
Court, overruling the demurrer TO the COM
plant attacking the constitutiOnality Of
the apportionment law of 1903. in his deci-
sion, handed down yesterday, among other
things said:
1.-The makers of the Constitution planted
it firmly on the principle of justice and
equality. and with these principles recog-
nized as paramount, the provision for equal
representation had its being.
In the Interpretation of that provision
of the Constitution it is recognized that TO
so carry Ii out as to provide for exactly
equal representation is practically impos-
sible and, hence, we are content with the
rule that as close an approximation as can
reasonably be made must suffice.
I'm determining whether the complaint
by its allegations takes the act of 1903 with
out the provisions of the Constitution as
interpreted for the purpose under consid-
GRAFTON we are not left solely TO our own
conclusions, but have the benefit of we'll
established precedents growing out of the
consideration of similar cases by our own
Supreme Court.
as to the act of 1903, that act did not only
not approximate equal representation, but
so fagrantly violated the constitutional rule
that many thousands of the citizens of the
State of Indiana are comparatively dis
franchised and one class of citizens, in some
instances, given representation in the law
making body of the State approximately 80
per centum greater than the same number
of another class.
1.-The facts stated in the complaint being
unquestiOnably sufficient to show that the
act in question is i'm violation of the pro-
visions of the Constitution plaintiff
is entitled on the showing made in this
complaint, to demand that the election of
1904 for representatives in the Legislature
from the county of Dearborn be held under
the act of 1897 and the conclusion
followed that the complaint in both of it's
paragraphs is sufficient and the demurrer
must therefore be overruled."
The case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court for final adjudication.
