the state. What manner of
men are they and what man
ner of men do they think the

be about this time?
In their eagerness for jobs

have 'overstepped the bounds
Of reason and insulted decent
people who claim a right to

and their God given prefoga

desperation, being out of Of

tempt to drive the people the
way they would have them go
If this movement is lot a |

that only the leaders are inl

IF Not a Ring, What?

We notice by the daily ps
pers Of New Orleans that the
Good Government League
had decided to name a full
state ticket for the coming
primary including the two
senatorships and the state OF
fees.
We should like to ask if
this is not worse than ring

for a certain lot of men to get
together and name ticket
for the rest Of the state to
vote without any representa-,
ton from the people in gener-
al. This is away back be.
yond the days of the conven-
ton to some time and to some
methods which are too old
for us to recall. In a conven-
ton the people did have the
right to say in mass meeting
assembled who should be
their delegates to attend the
convention, but with the Lea
guers they ask people to
pledge themselves beforehand
to support somebody, whom
they do not know; then the
''big one" IN the league meet
and decide who shall be hand
ed to the pledge signers. This
is absolutely a moral viola
ton Of the primary principle |
and is about the most undem
ocratic thing that has been in
augurated in the state since
democracy has been in exist
ence.
What right has any set of
men to go about pledging peo|
pie before hand to support
somebody for Office whom q
league may see fit to name at
some future date? Who is SO !,

such implicit trust on the

bit of gossip is accompanied by the
further statement by this man that
Senator Kern is the most talked Of
Democrat in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for President He
says he finds great amount of en-
thusiasm among Democrats in favor of
Kern and that it would not surprise

nominees

here because Fairbanks is not a can
didate, an dthete is not the slightest

The nomination of Kern would not be
a surprise. however.
Now that it has been announced from
Washington that Senator Lafollette
has decided to speak in Indiana on
January s. a story is published here to
the effect that former senator Bever-
idge will be invited to accompany him
in his trip through the state Iafollette
will speak in this city at noon and at
Richmond at night. According to this
story Beveridge will he asked to pre-
side at the noon meeting in this city.
It is not believed that Beveridge will
accept the Invitation. even If it is ex-
tended. He is keeping out of politics,
and has not mixed up in the soua bible
| that is now going on. He is so busy
with his literary work that he has not
time to devote to anything else. Onc
of his closest friends is authority for
the statement that ,Beveri dge does not
/ want anything more to do with politics
and that all he vans is to be left alone
with his literary work. If this is true

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. &C. State
Chairman Lees call. issued yesterday,
for a meeting of the Republican state
committee in this city on Wednesday
of next week, rather took the poll
ticians here by surprise because Lee
had said only a day or two before thai
there was no hurry about calling the
committee together. and that probably
meeting would be held until after
the holidays. While Lee is not saying
anything of the kind, 1t is the belief
that he feels pretty certain of his
standing with the present. committee.
and that he feels that he can depend
on 1t to take such action as he wishes
It to take in the direction Of effecting
a reorganization. He will probably ask
the committee to set the reorganization
date in either the last week in January
or the first week in February This
has been his idea of the proper time
for the REORGANIZATION to take place,
1t will be up to the state committee
at next weeks meeting to set the date
for he holding OF primaries or conven :
tions in all of the precincts of the state
for the purpose of electing delegates to
the district conventions which will
elect the new members of the state
committee The state committee will
also set the date on which the district
conventions shall be held. 1t will then
TX the date on which the new members
of the state committee will come to
gether and elect a state chairman. II
the latter meeting is not held until the
first week in February it will give Les
another month and a half to scrve as
state chairman, even if he is defeated
for reelection at that time. as 1t now
scenes certain that he will be. Lee
still expresses the belief that he Will
be reelected but a close study OF TIL:
political sky shows that the stars ars
wrong for him. and that they portent
an impending disaster to his ambition:
in that direction.
Several of the members of the pres
ent state committee do not agree witt

the reorgan ization program, since h

will.

of crystalizing the Taft sentiment In
Indiana into solid movement which
cannot be headed Off by anybody.
James E. watson. for instance. who
does not like President Taft and who
is opposed to some o fthe things he has
done President. has come out plainly
for the. denomination of Taft. and Wat
son has many friends in the state who
will bank largely on what he has done
and take their cue for political action
from him And the same is true with
numerous others of the party leaders
They have decided that in view of Lees
statement it is time for all Republicans
to stand together and fight the common
enemy instead of lighting each othe--
In that particular Lees statement has
done much good for the party in this
state.
!. Republicans are talking politics just
now as they have not talked it before in
a long time. The feeling of some time
ago that there was little hope of sue
cess In Indiana next year was caused by
the fact that Republicans were silent.
1t was almost impossible for anyone
to get Republican to discuss politics.
They seemed to regard ii as a useless
/ issue and a waste of energy to talk
politics. But now they are talking
their heads off. and this is regarded as
good sign. 1t shows that the same
old Republican party spirit is still there
and that it only needs little opposition
to arouse it into action. 1t is expected
that when he committee meets tomor-
row it will be an OCCASION when politics
will run rampant
i While the antf-Taft crowd is favora-
BILE to a late date for the reorganization
of the state committee there is a gen
eral belief that this plan will not be
adopted by the state committee. There
is good reason for the belief that the
date for reorganization will be set fol
some time in January, because it Is
known that several members of ths
committee are not at all enthusiast,
over he anti Taft crusade.
There is a persistent ramor which i

state chairman before the date for tn,

may give his time all to the PROMOTE.
