Laporte Ind, June 3.--The Indiana
Democratic Editorial association to-
day unanimously and enthusiastical-
ly indorsed Marshall for President, al
so the work of the last legislature,
the Marshall Constitution and Can
adian reciprocity.
This was the only bit of official busi-
ness the summer meeting of the asso-
citation has done or will do. It had to
do even that between banquets while
the committee that wrote the resolu-
tons had to miss an auto ride in order
to get time to draft them.
So strenuous has been the reception
and entertainment end of this trip that
the editors held meeting Friday
night and decided IL they were ever to
get home they must begin to cut copy
Laporte alone had enough entertain
ments mapped out to have made a
good busy week and then Michigan
City had program framed up of
boat ride on the lake, trips in autos
and banquets at various places enough
for two days. When the editorial boss
es got to figuring it up they found
they did not have enough space to get
stuff in and they proceeded to slash,
with the usual trouble. Every fellow
insisted that his contribution must
be given attention. But orders were
orders and the program was seconded
in order that the party may leave
Michigan City Saturday evening. Fol-
lowing the rule to cut out business
whenever it interferred with pleasure
the first thing out was the business
scheduled at ten o'clock this morning.
This was done in order that the party
might visit the famous Rumley plant
at LaDorte.
A Sincere Endorsement.
There is no doubt in the editors
sincerity in supporting Marshall for
the Presidential nomination. When
Harry Darling, chairman of the meet
ing held in the opera house yesterday
for the purpose of hearing Marshall
explain his new constitution, referred
to Marshall as Indiana's favorite son
in the coming national fight, there was
a wave of applause and cheers that
was genuine. 1t did not come from
the state officials on the stage, but
from the audience of editors and citi.
zens of Laporte county, who packed
the hall. Again at the banquet last
night Marshall was cheered as the
choice of the Indiana Democrats for
the next Presidential nominee. And
II it is not Marshall 1t some progress
sive that the editors of the Demo-
cratic press in Indiana want as their
standard bearer.
They will have none of Harmon.
They look with favor upon Wilson, but
tey are little skeptical OF his location.
They can not rid themselves of the
fear of any man who halls from what
Bryan once termed ..the enemy's coun-
try" which lies east of the Alleghan-
les. Much will depend upon the atti-
tude of Bryan. who is still potent
force with Indiana editors. Another
significant thing is determined by the
talk upon this trip. Every editor here
is in close touch with the farmers OF
mis- community. With one exception
they all say there is no opposition to
Canadian reciprocity among the farm
ers. Democracy in Indiana, ii 1t is rep
resented by the editors Of the press Of
the party, is united and is entering
the campaign OF 1912 firm in the be-
lief of its success.
