THE INDIANA ARIsTOCRACY
{ EVansVille Courier.


Chairman VIII II. Hays of the re-
publican state central committee has
contributed TO the gayety of the
democratic press OF the state by the
opening sentence of his speech at
the recent love feast:
Il have in my life no greater
satisfaction. nor do I know of any
greater credit than 10 be part Of
that aristocracy of intellect and
character called the republican party
of Indiana"
The progressives have asserted
that the party OF sound moral ideas
had become pretty thoroughly bank
rupt in both morals and ideas. Mr.
HAYS. however. is standing pat He
insists the republican party of Indi-
ana is the aristocracy of intellect
and character" Quite naturally il
makes Mr.. Hays feel good TO be a
part of this aristocracy.
An aristocracy is the government
Of the few. 1t may be that the
dwindling numbers of the republican

Hays quite as much as the gigantic
