GOV. MARSHALL HAS NOT
GIVEN UP HIS IDEA

the entire convention should be sent to
his office to pay respects to him, in
fact that most anything should be done
to show love and fealty for the gov
ernor so long as he can be kept away
from the convention.
The governor senatorship plan is
proving to be one of the biggest prob
lens the democratic party has ever
faced In Indiana, and there is no one
who is willing to predict just what the
final results will be- Candidates who
have been over the state declare that
the plan is in great favor In the rural
districts. and this indicates that 1t may
be pretty difficult to stifie the matter
In the state convention.
The state committee met yesterday,
but the only action taken was to ap-
point a committee. consisting of Peter
Foley of the Fifth district; Peter Kruy-
er of the Thirteneth and Charles Muir
ply of the Tenth, to thresh out the de-
tailed plans for the state convention.
They will cooperate with State Chair
man Jackson.

BEWARE OF YOUR FRIENDS!

DIV AXE w IOON fNiCNUSs
It is easier to forgive ones enemies
than to forgive ones friends.
Is the statement startling?
In a large sense it is true
1t is not so deficient as 1t might
seem to forgive your enemy He cam
not hurt you very much. If he is a
secret enemy he is handicapped, and
II he is an open enemy what he does
or says against you is discounted, be-
cause it is known he is your enemy.
But your friends?
Why, men everywhere are being
ruined by their friends
If young man becomes drunkard
it is not because his enemies have be-
guiled him. They do not get close
enough to him. 1t is his friend who
begs him to have "just one more"
1t is his friend who pokes fun at him
If he says he is ION the water wager"
1t is his friend who coaxes him to be
"a good fellow"
Beware Of your friends.

you are stronger to do the right thing
than is your friend. IF he is the
stronger he is likely to make mix Of
your life.
One must have friends of some sort.
And, rightly understood, friends may
be helpers. But if one will let them
they may spoil all ones prospects,
and with the very best intentions
Your enemy may tell people you are
of no account, which will not harm
you II you are of account.
But your friend is likely to praise
you to your face and persuade you
that our lapses are only trivial things.
The fact is most successful men
have won their way unaided and
alone. They have made themselves
strong by overcoming obstacles single
handed. And their greatest tempta-
lions have come to them not when
they were desperately struggling and
penniless, but afterward, when sue
cess had attracted friends.
Get friends? Yes, by all means.
Only be careful they do not overin.

be the better one for you.

| CIRCUMSTANCES SAID
| TO Be A SUCCESS
80 Out of 100 Petitions Show
Vote of 1,7C0 Names
Against Annexation.
FACTORY VOTE NOT IN YET
Anti Are Jubilant
Over The Results of The
Canvass.

The remonstrance petition against
East Chicago's annexation of Hammond
looked like a landslide in favor of the
ants this morning at 9 o'clock. One
hundred and nine petitions are said to
be out. OF these thirty-eight were
turned in at the city hall this morning
to check up. and 1t was found that
they contained just LOO names. This
leaves seventy to be heard from
and these are said to have the longest
list of names as they contain the fac
tory vote on the question
The ants were jubilant this morning
and said they would not stop with the
necessary two-third vote, but would
make the victory so decisive that there
can be no question about the senti-
ment
The eanvassers said that they aver
aged not more than five refusals to the
precinct They still insist that they
will roll up 80 per cent of the voters
against the annexation
On the other hand the annexationists
are denouncing what they claim TO be
unfair methods adopted by the admin
istration to secure the petition. They
say 1t looks like coercion, because the
policemen and other city employees are
approaching voters and asking them to
sign the remonstrance and, further
more, that factory employees are signing
under duress.
Mayor Becker was inclined to be-
Heve this morning that East Chica-
go might possibly rescind it's action
when Is realized what he believed
would be an overwhelming sentiment
against the annexation.
Prom what I can learn" said May
or Becker, "those who are opposing
the remonstrance are very much in the
minority and some of these, not all of
course, are refusing in the hope that
they are opposing Well. they are
not. they are opposing the majority OF
the people of Hammond.
The census taking will be sepa-
rate and distinct from the canvass for
the remonstrance petition The census
takers are under oath to make a cor
rect report, and while we may employ
some of the city employees on the CEN
sus they will not receive any etxra
compensation"
