TO GET SIGNATURE
OF RALtT,N, MONDAY
Paid Lobbyists Forced to
Register With Secretary of
State Before Working in
Assembly.
TBY LEASED WIRE.1

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3O.-Although
no rush is anticipated, Secretary of
State Homer l.. Cook, today prepared
to receive the registration of paid lob
byists under the new anti-lobby bill.
which the general assembly turned
over to the governors office for final
executive sanction
AS amended by the senate, the bill
forbids hired lobbyists advocating or
opposing anything unless they have
been registered, and requires newspa-
pers to report any remuneration they
may have received for articles con-
corning any measure before the as
sembly. An emergency clause permits
the law to become effectively upon
receiving the governors signature,
which probably will be Monday
Before departing for Owen county
to visit a very sick relative, the gov
ernor said that he knew of no reason
why he should withhold his signature
from the bill with it's various amend.
ments, but that he would first thor
oughly examine it's present form.
Speaking against the bill, just prior
to its final adoption by practically
unanimous vote. Representative Lew
Harris, Republican, Montgomery coun-
ty, declared it was a farce; that the
legislature had been whipped into vot-
ing for it by the governor, and was
playing to the gallery and grandstand.
Men who have corrupted this general
assembly" said Harris, have never
come to the floor for that purpose !;
they do their work in the hotels and
and the bars"

BAKERS MAY TAKE
OUNCE OFF L0AVES

Richmond bakers, it is understood,
have decided that notwithstanding the
high price Of flour they will not in
crease the price of bread above five
cents loaf although another on ounce
reduction in the size of loafs is a pros
pect.
Six months ago flour was being pur-
chased by Richmond bakers at $3.50
barrel. Today the market price for
flour is $7.25 a barrel. Most of the
bakeries had purchased a considerable
quantity of flour at $3.50 barrel
One or two of them still has a supply
of this moderate price flour on hand
but others are now finishing UP flour
for which they had to pay Sc barrel.
When the bakeries have to go into
the market for more flour at top notch
prices they will probably reduce the
size Of loaves is from Is to IA ounces.
ounces.
In many larger cities the size Of
loaves is now only II ounces.

mOnd Man Criticises Presi,
dents Policies.

William Dudley Foulke was the
chief speaker at the Indiana Progress.
sive love feast at Indianapolis. which
was attended by some two hundred
followers, representing all parts OF the
state, last night. Frederick B. Lands
Of Logansport, who was scheduled as
the headliner, wired from New York
city his inability to be present. Mr..

quate national defenses to make the

sion from the west or east. Resolu-
tions were adopted declaring for a
constitutional convention and opposi'
ton to the proposed "Stotsenberg"
amendments now pending in the legis-
lature.
Among the Wayne county men who
attended were Senator Walter McCon-
aha, Representative J. w. Judkins and
County Treasurer A. N. Chamness.
Mr. Wilson criticised the Wilson adj
ministration for the repeal Of the Pana-
ma tolls exemption, after the Demo
cratic party had declared for exemp-
ton in its national platform.
1T might be urged that national
honor must stand higher than a party
declaration" continued Mr.. Foulke. IF
so, why did the party declare doc
trine that was against our national
honor?"
Numerous instances of the Wilson
administration breach Of civil service
rules were cited by Mr.. Foulke, includ-
ing Secretary Bryan's now celebrated
deserving Democrats" letter.
Democratic failure to protect Ameri-
cans in Mexico, in defiance of plat
form pledge, and an attitude of indif-
ference toward the navy and national
defenses, also in violation Of party
promises, were mentioned by MI.
Foulke.
Our duty is clear It is to main
tain intact the organization establish.
ed by Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram
Johnson and Albert J. Beveridge," con-
cluded Mr.. Foulke.
