AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept 6.-Some
time aso il leaked OUT that the Demo-
cratic state organization had given out
the word TO the state candidates and
stump speakers that they must supple
ment the Democratic state platform
with number of things that the plat
from does not contain. 1t was pointed
cut that the Democratic state platform
is reactionary document containing
practically nothing Of a progressive or
advanced nature whatever. This fact
has worried the state organization to
such an extent that 1t decided to call
on the state candidates to go farther
than the platform and declare in favor
of several progressive ideas-in fact.
they were told to promise many OF the
things that are contained in the Re
publican state platform. which is
recognized by everybody as progress
i've platform
1t Is well remembered that the Demo
cratic state convention which adopted
the state platform was absolutely con
trolled. body and soul by the corpora
lions and large interests and that they
succeeded II keeping out OF the platform
every proposed declaration that was in
tended to bind the party to enact legis-
iation that would bring relief TO the
people and 70 better conditions. The
committee on resolutions was made UP
almost entirely of corporation repre-
sentatives. and the chairman was q
corporation lawyer. This committee
listened to what the representatives
OF labor and the progressive Democrats
had to say in favor OF certain proposi-
lions which they wished to have en-
bodied in the platform, but when 1t was
all done not one of these subjec was
mentioned in the platform A delesa-
ton representing labor unions appear
ed before the committee and asked 70,
a plank favorinz a workmen's compen-
satior law and public utilities com
mission law. but the proposition was
turned down cold, and the delegation
returned TO the German American
Democratic club. which sent it, anc
made its report. The members OF the
club were so angered over the snuh the
delegation had received that it adopted
resolutions denouncing the platform
for what il failed to contain and charg
ed that 1t was made by at corporations

are attempting TO make the rank and
file OF their party believe that the pres
ent campaign must be financed by the
people therns selves. Already the cry has
gone up that money is needed and that
campaign funds must be raised by
popular contributions. At the Bull
Moose meeting here a few days ago the
world went out that the state organi-
zation was in dire need OF money and
that the Bull Moose OF the state would
have to raise it
good many of them took the an
nouncement as Joke and effort

and the steel trust to finance the Bull
Moose campaign.
There has been no secret OF the fact
that George w. Perkins. of the harry
ester trust and the steel trust financed
the Roosevelt campaign for the Repub
lican nomination for President and il
has been generally understood that
Perkins also was financing the present
campaign. II Is evident that somebod '
has been sending in plenty of money,
for the state headquarters is a busy
place. spending thousands of dollars
each month which must come from
somewhere. The Bull Moosers who
have engaged In this campaign are not

STATE POLITICS AND
PLATFORM INTERESTS PEOPLE

organisation officials gave out the
word that the platform was a failure
and that the candidates and stump
speakers must declare in their speeches
for the things that are not In the plat
form. In this way they hoped to make
the people believe that the Democratic
party really stood for progress and for
reforms
The first outcropping of these in
structions came the other day in the
keynote speech which Samuel M Rails
ton, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor. made at Anderson, opening the
Democratic campaign. Ralston did not
confine himself to the platform. He
went beyond II. He discussed the tariff
most of the time-an issue that connot
possibly enter into the state campaign.
Then ne tok stand in favor of the
public utilities commission idea. which
had been turned down by the conven-
tion. He went on record as being in
favor OF a constitutional convention. a
thing that the Democratic state plat
form does not mention. And in a mum
Der of other ways he went far beyond
the state platform. thus proving that

Atlanta, April 30.-Unbiased politi-.
clans here seem to be of the almost
universal opinion that Woodrow ANil-
son stands the best chances to wsn
in the Georgia preferential primary
tomorrow.
Taey base their estimate of the
Underwood weakness on Two thtngs
principally. The FIRST is the general
kA9Eledge that Underwood is not re
garded as a candidate in other parts
Ct tb% country, and that even if he
shoU6 Earry Georgia there would be
no ciTaIce OF his nomination. Geor-
sians Go not want to throw their votes
away, particularly in the light of the
likelihood that Champ Clark womo
Eventually be the real beneficiary.
The second reason assigned for Tn
derWooG's Weakness on the eve Of the
Urinary : the feelins here that the
Underwood cause has been hurt rath-
er than helped by the injudicious ez-
3endture Of money in the fight in
Georgia.
Fer Instance the recent edition Of
the Farmers Union organ, flied up
With paid advocacy Of Underwood, has
had Just the opposite effect with many
farmers from what was mJendec.
They had been informed beforehand
that the officers and leaders OF the
Farmers Union We're for Woodrow
Wilson, first, last and all the time.
