A THOUGHT.

Hearts that are great beat never loud,
They muffe their music when they
come;
They hurry away from the thronging
crowd
Will, Bonded brows and Eps half
dumb.
Proud"
And when great hearts have passed
away
Men gather in awe and kiss their
shroud,
And in love they kneel around their
clay
Hearts that are great are. always
alone,
They never wi7z manifest their best;
Their greatest greatness is unknown
Earth knows a litt1e-God the rest.

German Township Compelled
Selection of Fries.
CRAM SHOWN TO Be MOST POPULAR
Choice of Commissioner for Infirmary
Superintendent Gives Much Dis
satisfaction Among Democrats.

The choice of William Fries of
Bremen as successor to Peter j.
Kruger as superintendent of the
county farm seems not to have
given the best satisfaction, accord
ing to comments among democrats
since the election.
1t is said the party wanted a
young man without family, and
Mr.. Fries is over fifty and has five
children. 1t is said further that
they wanted farmer and that Mr..
Fries is clerk in hardware store
and not a man of proper -caliber to
handle the job as it should be.
Moreover. the thing which de-
cided his selection was neither his
favor with the commissioners nor
his fitness for the place, but instead
it was a cold, raw threat from the
democrats of German township
which amounted to compulsion in
the matter. There was nothing
else for the commissioners to do but
elect Fries.
They voted for twenty-four bal
lots to make showing aad then did
what they intended to do at the
beginning.
The German township politicians
put it up something like this, go it
is said by those on the inside.
German township gave the
ticket over 200 majority, and if you
don't give us this place we will 60
republican in the next election"
That was what turned the trick.
The feeling of the commissioners is
shown, however, by the following
votes which the different candidates
received:

In the Speakership Fight at
State Capital.
ALBERT J. VfNEMAN SELECTED
Local Candidate Goes Down With
Anti-Taggart Faction. Double
Crossed.

Albert j. Veneman of Evansville
was selected by the democratic
caucas for the next speaker of the
house of the Indiana Legislature.
He was selected on the second
ballot over Adam E. Wise of Plym-
outh, Adolph Seidensticker of In
dianapolis, NJ. c. Thornton of New
Albany and Jos. M. Cravens of
Madison.
1t was case of Taggart or Anti
Taggart and the National COM
mitteeman showed he had the
winning hand. Tsggart decided
that Veneman should be the next
speaker and the antis placed the
most of their strength back of
Wise.
The first ballot gave Veneman
"a, Wise IA, Seidensticker 10. Cra-
vens 6 and Thornton 4. and the
second which brought the nomi-
nation was: Veneman 81, Wise 1S,
Seidensticker 5, Cravens 2 and
Thornton 2.
Editor G.. W. Metsker, g. n.
Stevens and other leading Marshall
county democrats were on the
ground doing what they could to
support the candidacy of Wise.
Peter ]. Kruger was also in Indian
apolis but according to the papers
of that city he was with the Vene-
man crowd.
Local politicians claim that the
victory was one for Governor Mar
shall but here is what one of the
Indianapolis papers says about the
candidacy Of Adam Wise:
The lineup behind Wise came
principally from anti-Tagaart men,
or men who have previously been
identified with the Taggart element
but were dumped" in this race.
The anti -TaGgart men realized fol
the first time Tuesday that they
had made a mistake in not uniting
upon one candidate and the nego-
tiations began at once. 1t was
seen that a combination could not
be formed that would be OF much
benefit to- Seidensticker, 80 the
only thing to do Was to line ur
with Fleming for Wise."

Total votes received by each of
the candidates were: Brugh 3, Suit
z. Cramer 2, Cram 81, Crull 2.
Fries is, Sarber s and Voreis IL.
Commissioners Lee and Thayer
cast the votes that elected Fries on
the Oath ballot.
1t is said by Sarber's friends that
he had the strongest and best
recommendations of any of the
candidates. The vote shows how
ever that Cram was the strongest
candidate as he received the most
votes and was in reality the COM
missioners choice.
