STEAM ROLLER USED.

In the light of the disclosures of
Matthew Hale, Massachusetts Pro
gressive. who presided over the ma
tional committee OF his party at Chi
cago, June 26, its endorsement of Mr.
Hughes for the Presidency is the
meaningless thing suspected from the
beginning. 1t represents neither the
rank and file Of the party nor even
the committee itself. 1t is now re-
vealed as the product of steam roll
ler'' tactics as repulsive to real Pro-
gressives as the work of the Repub-
lican burglars Of 1912.
Mr.. Hale, in a statement Issued and
printed recently, shows that the COM
mitteemen subverted in every partic-
ular the fundamental principle of the
party which requires that before any
such action is taken the rank and file
must be consulted. Not only was this
mot done but efforts to prevent it were
made, he says.
He cites instance after instance
where national committeeman voted
directly in opposition to the wishes
of the state organization, definitely
and specifically expressed. He shows
that reasonable doubt of opposition
to endorsement of the Republican can
didate was swept aside by leaders and
proxies eager to get the work done
and that even the advice Of Colonel
Roosevelt was ignored for he declar-
ed he refrained from asking that any
official action of endorsement be TAX,
en-.
The vote at Chicago June 26 show
ed that 80 members of the commit
tee voted for endorsement OF Hughes !;
six opposed it and nine declined to
| vote Evidence submitted by Mr.
Hale shows that states representing
1 at least ten of the go votes were
against it. If these ten are subtract
ed from the 80 and added, as they
may be justly, to the six opposition
votes, the tally then stands % for en-
dorsement and 16 against it. 1t is rea
sonable to suppose that the nine mem
hers who declined to vote did not
favor the Hughes endorsement, and
therefore may be added TO the II
votes Of opposition giving the anti
endorsement element a majority o.
five
It is a fact that this analysis more
accurately reveals conditions thantht
% to vote. The rank and file o.
4 the Progressive party was and i;
against a eseH-out" to the Republi
cans. From the opening of the Pro
gressive national convention, the dele
gates were coereed by the leaders whC
were dealing across the lines"
has since been the same sort Of ;
game Mr. Hale proves it with re
spect to the national committee meet

Why coNsrAsLEs At ALL?

The Indianapolis Star. disguised because Of the meddlesome activities
of constabes in Indianapolis in interfering in police business asks why
constabhes at all in places where there are established police forces. 1t
points out that in the country it is desirable that the justices Of the peace
have a constable r. two. but in towns their work can be- done by other
officers. Accordingly, the star suggests that the legislature see to it that
the eonstabulary is abolished, especially in cities.
Perhaps some Of the citizens of Indiana Harbor will agree with the Star
since constabes from Gary came to their town and raided care games IN
saloons. Naturally the Harbortes resent the intrusion Of the Gary officers
when they have gambling in their own town Their objections are as pro-
found as those made in Gary when the East Chicago constabuary USED to
raid the steel city.

sAmM1E RALsToN AND EDDIE LEE.

Governor Ralston, who ia going into the practice Of law after January J.
Is nt caring q whit whether he gets any business from the republicans or
not By @Ms acts e. indicates that he doesn't wan their business.
Ralaan for once IN all the appointments he has made has gone outside
mouth Ed ". Lee. who fed so long out Of the progressive pap bottle, to the
Indiana Public Service Commission instead OF giving the job to the repub-
ncan party where it belonged.
Ralston gave Lee the job because OF the emocraucprogressv coal-
ton N Indiana during the late campaign coalition that didn't get Raj
stn or the democratic party anything.
Lee Is M Of the most popuarlyhated politicians in the state. He is a
first class piecounter warmer and always raj one. He has been notorious
ever since he sought to induce Taft delegates in 1912 to break their party
pledges AM by promise Of progressive patronage get them to vote or Roose
vet
We deduce that Rastons appointment OF Lee will be very popular all
over the state. OF course. having fixed up nearly everybody in Lebanon
and Boone county with a Job, Raston had to give the Job Of public service
commissioner to somebody IN why no his friend and boon companion.

SOME ADVICE TO NEW YORK.

SAYS the World of New York in a story in connection that George w
Perkins may nun for mayor OF that town:
Have you At any time said that the city could be saved
$2500oOoo by a cut in the budget?
yes, L have, but lot that exact amount The taxpayers Of
Greater New York IAN be saved millions of dollars q year if the ad-
ministration can be- u along lines. say. of principles which are
used by the unted States Steel corporation. I believe such a thing
can be DONE said NrP Perkins
Without doubt M. Perkins proposal that New York be run o the bus
mess plans Of the steel corporation is excellent, but W would caution the
New Workers to keep shy of the intricate municipal politics Of the steel
corporaton-especiary the way its politics is essayed in Gary. It smells
