Put Democrats on Guard.

The Democrats everywhere IN
Indiana are insisting on the adj
ministration appointing Demo-
Gratis as rural-route mail carriers.
They are up in arms and quite
Indignant over the failure of the
administration to properly recog-
nize Democrats for at least half
of these places. The country
Democrats do not realize that we
have a Democratic Pr sident, for
the reason they continue to see
the same old Republican rural
route mail carriers on their daily
trips. These fellows are quite
insolent and laugh at Democrats
and tell them they cannot get
them out. We fear the party
will have serious trouble to
arouse the proper interest among
party workers in the country in
the election next year. The he
publicans are relying upon the
inactivity of Democrats along
this line for success. 1t is pecu-
liar that Postmaster General
Burleson, who is a Texas Demo
crat. does not see the danger to
the party next year by reason OF
the failure to consider the claims
of the rank and file of the party
in this respect. The President
evidently is also shy on informa'
ton along this line. -Indianapo-
