hat little was ACCOMPLISHED.

that little was accomplished.
At Marion it is different. There is
little strife among the Republicans
there Marion is in the Eleventh dis
trict, and it is reported from that dis
trict that the old time warfare which
kept the various factions of Republicans
at each others threats for years has
about died out, and there is every rea-
son to believe that harmony will reign
in that district next year. And this
could undoubtedly be helped along by
visit from the President. The same
is said to be true at Fort Wayne.
where the Republicans are in good
shape.
If resident Taft comes to Indiana,
which 1t is expected that he will. for at
least one or two speeches. it is prac-
t.cally certain that 1t will be in the
hope that some of the wrinkles in the
party may thus be ironed out Accord
Ing to the Republican members of the
legislature who met here last week
for a party conference, conditions are
improving for the party in this state
and there is a strong belief that next
year will see a different condition
among the Republicans from the one
which prevailed last year
But WneU IL COfuSS 10 question: VI
party harmony, 1t is pointed out by Re
publicans. the Democrats are in about
as bad condition as the Republicans
ever were The Democrats will have
to do some harmonizing. too. in their
cwn party. Republicans are pointing
to the dilemma in which the Democrats
| find themselves in Congress over the
tariff question as one of the bits of evil
dence of the Democratic lack of
/ harmony. Members of Congress and
Senators are pulling each others hair
and pulling both ways on the tariff.
Some are in favor of reductions on GER
tain schedules while others are OPP
posed to reductions. Some want free
wool and others do not dare to favor
free wool. If Speaker Champ Clark
were to favor free wool he would not
dare go back home to Missouri, a great
wool growing state.
They are divided on the question OF
ratifying the Canadian reciprocity
/ treaty. Some Democrats want to ratify
/ it and others do not Some want to
| frame up farmers free list of articles
to come in free Of duty. while others
are against such plan.
| In Indiana some of the Democrats
are wet and others are dry. Some OF
them support Governor Marshall in his
effort to fasten mushroom grown
| constitution on the state. while others
are fighting the proposition. A Demo
crat even has sued to prevent the con-
stitution from being submitted at the
election next year In fact, the Demo
Gratis are split on many things in Indi-
ana Some of them favor Governor
Marshall for Presiden. Others favor
Senator John w. Kern, and still others
good many at that. prefer Governor
Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey The
i Taggart outfit is working for the
nomination Of Governor Harmon, Of
Ohio The Kern boosters are saying
mean things about the Marshall boon
and the whole situation is torn up.
So when it comes to a matter of OBJ
's tanning harmony for party action If
the coming campaign. 1t is pointed GU
that the Democrats have a big job OF
their hands. and one that will kee,
