The Gary City Council is likely to
lose its years salary. The body pass

along one of the states watch dogs

right to appropriate the money, and
musta pay It back out OF their peck

pay equal shares $3.50 apiece will set

favor of that move. The farmers are
prosperous, so these men say, and they
are not going to throw away their
prosperity.
IF these Democrats would just stop
and think a moment said one of the
men after he had made a trip through
several counties. looking into condi-
tions, they would see the fallacy of
their claim. They must remember that
If the Republicans help to elect
Democratic legislature in order TO de-
feat Senator Beveridge they will at
the same time elect a Democrat as
United States Senator. The Republican
vote is not built that way. OF course.
the Democrats, in urging this argu-
ment and making these statements.
are speaking one word for the Repub-
licans and a dozen words for them
selves 1 have found that the Repub-
licans are just as we'll lined up now
as they have ever been. and that they
are just as firm in their determination
to elect their ticket this year. I have
heard Democrats make the statement
that thousands of Republicans were
going to vote against their ticket this
year. and have asked several of them
to a single man who would do
this. In every instance they have been
unable to point out one Republican
who is going to vote the Democratic
ticket"
! James z. Watson has already made
a public statement that he Is eager
! for success of the entire Republican
ticket in this state this year. and that
! he is ready to do his share of the
| work to elect it. In spite of the wild
stories that have been circulated to
the contrary. Watson will not oppose
anybody on the ticket. And if Watson
remains in line there is no reason to
believe that any of the other party
| leaders will do differently.

DEMOCRATS
GRASP ING At
THE STRAWS
Some Stories of Disaffection
In Republican Ranks Are
Circulated In State But
They Don't Fool Anyone,
Not Even the Republicans.
TIMES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis Ind. July 29-While
the Democrats of this state are making
a lot of noise about what they declare
to be serious disaffection among the
the Republicans of Indiana. the fact
remains that they are not able to
point out anything in this line that
appears to indicate failure for the Re-
publican ticket When you ask them
to name a single Republica In the
the Republican ticket this fall they
are not able to do so. They carry
their prediction this far and there
they stop.
The Democrats are doing everything
in their power TO create and spread the
impression that Watson, Hemenway,
Durbin and numerous other good Re
publicans are fighting the Republican
ticket this year, or that they are doing
everything in their power to bring
about defeat of Senator Beveridge, who
is the only Republican candidate for
United states Senator. They say that
these men will exert their influence to
defeat Beverage, even if they are
obliged to go to the length of electing
a Democratic legislature to carry their
point But when you ask them to tell
when and where any one of these men
made such a statement of their purpose
they are not able to do so.
The fact is that these men have
never made any such statement 1t is
quite likely that if any person were
to charge directly any one of them
with such purpose he would have a
scrap on his hands in minute While
| it is admitted and well known that all
Republicans in Indiana are not agreed
on some of the issues, but their differ
ences are not sufficiently great to cause
any of them to help elect a Democratic
LEGISLATURE or set of Democratic state
officers.
| The Democrats are taking the posi-
| ton that the voters of the state are
dissatisfied with the Republican party
in its present condition and that there
is going TO be a widespread sweep OF
boiling among them this year. They
say the Republican voters are going
to flock to the Democratic standard
this year and vote the Democratic
ticket Just what they find on which
to base such a prediction no one knows
They do OF even know themselves
! Republicans who have been out In
the state and who have mingled with
the voters report that they have failed
to find any such condition. They de-
clare that the farmers are very wei
satisfied with preset conditions and
that they are not talking about vot-
ing against the Republican ticket
They know that the defeat of the Re
publican ticket tbs year would near
