MARSHALL SELECTS HIS
BALTIMORE HEADQUARTERS

ernor made plain in that speech the
things which he thinks ought to go in
to the Democratic platform. He ad-
heres to the views he has expressed
frequently that the platform should
not be long or unwieldy. but that ii
should make tariff for revenue only.
enforcement of the Sherman antitrust
law. direct election of United States
Senators. strict economy in national
expenditures and states rights para
mount issues
The Governor believes that the
Democrats would sweep the country on
such a platform. He always has want
ed to see a campaign made in Indiana
on the issue of tariff for revenue only.
1t is his theory that there were too
many strings to the Bryan bow in
1896. 1900 and 1905. He believes there
were so many paramount issues that
the wavering voters became confused
and that many who wanted to sSpport
this Democrats on their main issues
were frightened away by some of the
collateral issues of their platform.
short and easily understood plat
form is the Governors idea. He states
that he is not in favor of making the
initiative and referendum a national
issue. He suggests that the states
ought to determine for themselves
whether they want the initiative and
referendum in their codes.
He is opposed to the recall of judges
but he suggests that there ought to be
an easier way than there is now to
reach judges who do not do their duty.
He would have impeachment made
simpler. but he wouldn't put the recall
! in the hands of the people.
The Marshall for President Club and
the Indiana Democratic Club are pro-
crossing well with their plans for the
on to- Baltimore movement in favor of
the Governor. Several hundred Demo-
Gratis have engaged transportation on
the special trains which will leave
here on Sunday prior to the conven-
ton. 1t is believed that two thousand
Indiana Democrats will make the trip.
Senator Shively appears now to be
the man to present the name of Cover
nor Marshall to the convention At
first the talk was that the nominating
speech would be made by Senator
Kern. but this plan, il 1t was consider
ed at all. was changed, and Kern will
not have anything to do with the Mar
shall boom. Shively has been tenta-
| lively chosen for this job, and this Is
| regarded a slam at Kern, because
the relations between Kern and Shive-
lly have been strained ever since Kern
denounced the election or Shively as
the work of Indiana brewers who us
ed corrupt methods in the Indiana Leg
lislature to elect Shively and beat Kern
Shively has been elected chairman of
the Indiana delegation to the Balti-
more convention, and his selection now
as the spokesman for Marshall puts
fv, nd n a
ldelegation
The fact that Shively has taken ths
place of Kern as the spokesman FOL
Marshall also is regarded here as indi-
eating that there has been serious
break between Marshall and Kern
who, UP to this time have been the
closest of political and personal
friends. Marshall forced the election
of Kern as United States senator. OF

GARY CO.
AFTER NEW
BUSINESS
Gary Heat, Light & Water
Company of Sufficient Ca
pacity to Hustle Chicago
Business; U. S. Steel Co. to
Go Into Gas Business.

A Wall street dispatch states that
the United States Steel corporation is
to furnish gas from the waste at the
Gary works coke ovens to the gas COM
pany in Chicago and when this is done
1t will go ahead and spend thirty mil
lions dollars more at Gary.
Lower Rates At Gary.
Inasmuch as the steel trusts sub :
sidiary now charges 81 a thousand
subic feet and $110 il not paid before
the tenth of the month and in as much
as the gas charges are only SIS cents in
Chicago 1t will mean that IL the Steel
trust can sell gas piped into Chicago
at s5 cents it will reduce the price of
its product in Gary
The U. s. Steel organization is not
only doing well, but has formulated
prospectively profitable plans, one Of
which will be OF intense interest to
the Peoples Gas Light & Coke Com
pany of Chicago. says the Chicago
Examiner. This one scheme is moth
ing less than to offer to furnish gas to
the city. The plant at Gary, Ind.
(Which furnishes the iron city with
light. is of sufficient capacity TO
duplicate the service of the Peoples
Company at a price lower than that
charged by the incumbent server.
Offers Some Advice.
1t might be well for the Chicago
syndicate, who wishes to take over all
of Chicago's utility companies. to con-
fer with the Steel concern before it be-
gins negotiations for the Peoples Gas
Company.
The Steel management says Chfca :
go's streets need not be torn up to lay
mains Pipes will be laid in alleys as
in Gary; there will be no interruption
of traffic anywhere. When the Steel
Corporation shall be dy to offer to
furnish gas. it will put out $4,000, 600
