When the boilers chairman makes
an affidavit that boilers are not pop
ular it is time for all Republicans to
join the regular organization.
earn, the man who wants TO be
county chairman, has made an aft
davit that he is not nearly so popu-
lar and influential in Marshall coun-
ty as William c. Hendricks
The movement to check the flow
of money from corporations into
party funds for campaign purposes
will be larger element in doing
away with corruption in politics
Money to be legitimately employed
will be forthcoming, but the moneys
that have been questionably used
will cease, to the betterment of pol
itics.

Whether or not elections will
really be held in Russia TINS year and
another Donna will be convoked, IS
promised, next March, a question
that is open to serious doubt The
members OF the late Douma have no
faith in the car and his bureaucratic
clique. They are inclined to think
that if repression succeeds the whole
constitutional experiment will be
abandoned, for the present at least
Goodrich and his political trusts
are developing violent opposition in
almost every county in the state In
dependent Republican candidates for
congress are talked of in three of the
strongest Republican districts. but
Goodrich and his henchmen go right
ahead making enemies and stirring
up ali the party strife possible If
the Republican party of Indiana can
win under such leadership. the Dem
ocratic party is certainly very weak.
Francis Edward earn, having
learned that at least 1900 Republi-
can of Marshall county want him to
stop contending that he is county
chairman, has gone into court and
made an affidavit that William c.
Hendricks has an undue influence
over the people of Marshall county
We wonder what Eds feelings were
when Parks and Merrill Moores told
him that he would have to swear
that Hendricks had more friends
than Ed. earn
Ed earn having gone TO the coun-
ty clerks Office and made an affi-
davit that he has no influence with
the Republicans of Marshall county
it is now more than probable that
every Republican nominated at the
convention called by earn will re-
fuse to accept and will come into
the regular Republican organization
and thus compel earn, Yockey, &
Co., to abandon their efforts TO de-
stroy the Republican party of Mar
shall county.
George Mccullough, the traction
magnate. says that electric railroads
in thinly populated sections OF the
country will never pay. He says
that street railways in small towns
never will pay That town to be
able to maintain street railway
that will be profitable must be over
10000 or be a town that is growing.
He lis inclined to the belief that
these companies that are willing to
invest their money should be consid-
cred public benefactors. Indiana is
no longer in that section of the coun-
try designated as "thinly populated

A South Berd paper says the citi-
zens of Marshall county have been
amazed during the past two weeks
at finding letters advertised by the
Plymouth postmaster for some OF
the pioneers and best known citizens
of the county This is mistake;
the period of amazement has passed
During the term of the present pest
master more than 200 such letters
have been advertised and probably
twice that many have beer returned
to writer's marked "uncalltd for" or
unknown" when many OF the per-
sons addressed had boxes at the Ply
mouth postofhce
The chairman and secretary oil the
Republican state committee seem to
be in a peck of trouble. The Repub-
ican organizations in more tran
twenty counties in Indiana are fight
ing Chairman Goodrich and now
Secretary Riddick has been compel
ed to bring suit to try to get the
county printing which Sas been re-
fused his paper, the lY,ua.,ac Re-
publican. 1t seems til there are
people in Pulaski count Who think
that Riddick is a Republican for rev.
