Is under the Test Declares the
Rev. Mr.. Strickland in An
Address Here.

In spite of storm good sized au-
dience heard the Rev. Fred 6. StrlcE-
land at the court house last night.
His subject was Socialism on Trial. I
Tonight he will give his closing adj
dress at the same place on the sub.
ject: Repentance unto a New Social
Order"
The Rev. Mr.. strickland's lecture
last night was on a serious theme bnf
he lightened it with many epigrams
and happy illustrations. He said in
'"The philosophy of socialism is on
trial. The result is that We are ar
irving already at new code of ethics.
This code affects the capita,ist as well
as the worker. Mr.. Ford's division
of profits is an example of changing
sentiment.
I'm cities where Socialists are gain
ing power, our actions are on trial.
We are making good in this matter.
Our example is squirting other parties
to better performance"
The Rev. Mr.. Strick1and's closing
appeal was to right-minded and sp1r-
itual people to take their stand with
the down-most man in the struggle.
His illustration was graphic word
picture of the trial of Christ.

After the platform had been com
pleted, members of the committee
expressed resentment over the action
. OF Senators Shtvely and Kern and
members of Congress, who appeared
before the committee and urged the
adoption OF the primary plank. Mayor
Joseph Bell, of indianapolis, chair
man of the committee, declared only
Que out OF the thirteen members of
the committee. favored the primary
feature and that it had been adopted
only after the senator's and congress
men had mde plea that il such a
plank were not included it would be
a reflection on President WILSON,
policy For that reason Mayor Bell
said seven members of the committee
voted for the primary plank. He
said that the members of the com
mittee instead of being constructive
for the party had become its pail
bearers, for he declared without the
convention system the party's or
ganization would go to pieces.
Speaking for the committee, May
or Bell also asserted that members
OF the committee had expressed
their opin on that President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan had not written
the letter endorsing the statewlde
primary to Senator Kern voluntarily
bUk had been asked to do so.
