is feeling among some of the demo-
Gratis that a few good appointments to

little better shape for the democratic
party into the bargain. With John w.
Kern acting up as he is and few

Not the Best Thing.
It is understood that the word has
been conveyed to the governor that his
appointment of man from southern
Indiana as a member OF the railroad
commission was not the best thing to
do politically but the governor, it is
said, has declared that he was looking
for the best man for the place. regard

| which he came. The governor. it is
said, explained that he was unable to
get man from the north part of the
state who was just exactly suited to
! the place, although they might have
| ben qualified in many ways.
TIndOuhtedly though great nress,,re
will be brought to bear by the demo
cratic leaders to get the governor to
appoint a northern Indiana man to the
deputyship made vacant by the resig-
! nation of Fogarty. And the democrats
| If they have the opportunity, will not

| northern Indiana man who will fill the
bill.
Changes Considered.
The resignation OF Fogarty change:
the democratic conditions in Marion
county, and Marion county is more I'm
portant this year because nine mem
bers of the legislature are to be elected
from this county and that means nin'

States senator. If Taggart should be
candidate for United States senator. fo
example, Marion county might furnish
enough votes TO put MIN saleiy owe
the fence.
Mr.. Fogarty since he has severed hi
connection with the state board of ac
counts and has again become a pri
vate citizen is the logical man for tn
democratic candidate for the count.
Craftsmanship. Fogarty was count
Il chairman during the last campaign an
under his leadership the democrat
elected all of the county officers ex
cept the Juvenile court judge. and a.
of the members of the Legislature fror
this county. If Fogarty will consen
to take the Craftsmanship again Their
is scarcely any argument that can b

decided victory was won by the demo
