Duty of Republicans.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
The duty of Republicans in the prelim-
mary organization for the county campaign
at this time should be plainly understood.
The preliminaries this week are to select
committeeman for the respective precincts.
The man behind the guns who does the de-
tail organizing work in that locality wins
the battle. The duty of the voter is to Sc
lect the best for that work in that
locality. 1t is not the duty of the voter to
warp his duty by voting to select chair
of the committee. Such conduct
changes committeeman to a delegate The
duty of selecting a chairman rests not on
the voter, but on the committeeman. If
the voters are not careful wrong men will
be selected TO be behind the guns. No voter
has the right to discard good committee
men for fear he may be for against a
certain chairman. In 1890 this county was
2,5C0 Democratic and not Republican any
where in Office. The rule then adopted
should be adopted now. Select the best man
for your committeeman. Do not let the
voter decide who should be chairman. Let
the committeeman select their own chair
man, and in such a unity there is sure to
be harmony The unit OF standard in politi-
cal organization is the precinct. If that is
made best and honest, like bricks in a wall,
the whole and final construction will be
correct Let every voter select the best man
for his committeeman and not blur his vote
with any other outside consideration.

DEAD SENATOR PRAISED
BY CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Resolutions Are Passed at Session
OF Body in Eulogy of
Statesman.
DIVISION IN THE VOTE
Democrats Are in Minority-Per-
kins Says Negative Stand Is
Endorsement of Parry.

The esteem in which Senator Marcus A.
Hanna was held by the labor unions of
indianapolis was manifested last night by
Central Labor Union. Resolutions express
ing appreciation for the attitude he had
taken toward labor and the interests he had
shown in all its movements. were adopted.
In his death they lamented the loss of an
able champion TO the cause of labor.
The resolutions were not unanimously
voted, but were passed with an enthusiastic
majority The few who entered a dissent
ing vote were Democrats who declared
their partisan spirit prompted them to do
they did.
Speaking in behalf of the resolutions
Edgar a. Perkins. president of the State
Federation of Labor, said that in their
votes they would do one of two things; if
they voted against the resolutions they
would be asserting to the principles of
Socialism and anarchy and would ne en-
cOuraging the movement undertaken by
their most bitter enemy, ID. NJ. Parry. He
said that a man who for twenty-five years
had dealt in peace and harmony with the
labor movement of the country had
Senator Hanna, must be at least all right
in some things.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, The late United States Senator.
Marcus a. Hanna, in his official capacity
and in the pursuits of business has used
every honorable effort to establish a closer
relationship between employer and en-
plOye; and,
Whereas. Upon numerous occasions he
has secured liberal concessions to organized
labor, obtaining a hearing for the repre-
sentatives thereof, when the severest test
OF endurance was witnessed BE it, there
fore.
Resolved, by the Central Labor Union in
regular session assembled, That this body
earnestly approves Mr.. Hanna's devotion
to the cause of labor as a citizen and as a
representative of the Civic Federation; and
be it further
Resolved. That in the loss by the death of
MI. Hanna the labor movement loses an
able champion of its cause.
EDGAR a. PERKINS.
II. l.. SIMON.
1t was the opinion of some that an organ
lied stand against the movement that is
being agitated by u. NJ. Parry be taken
at once. A resolution was offered that a
petition be sent to Congress to repeal that
clause of the immigration law giving the
power TO make arrests TO an administrative
officer This petition grew out of the ar
rest some time ago of John Turner, who
was taken in custody while delivering a
labor union speech in New York. 1t was
thought that he was attacking the govern
ment and was arrested on that charge.

name candied neatly across the top, and
put II by his plate. IN addition they
had placed In the center OF the table,
another cake made Of transparent jel-

one else who had the fortune to be pres
cnt at luncheon. The tasty menu served
on this occasion included oyster soup
with crackers and bread and butter,
