Support the President
In closing a plea for the whole
hearted support of the president in
this great war the vice president said
that while ne wanted the Democrats
TO win the coming election. with the
risk Of being read out of the party"
he urged the men In the state TO vote
for the Democrat who was in hearty
accord with the president and his
ideas, and against the Democrat who
sis not in favor of taking the German
language out of-the schools OF Indiana
and welding into a united people by
the use of a common language all
those who dwell within our borders"

The entire platform of the conven-
lloH Carries Nilu IL cOnllnutu TtloT-
ence to the winning OF the war and
pledges the party to continue the war
until the object-to rid the world
once for all of the threat OF violence
and injustice from an autocratic gov
ernment. which has already committed
outrages against the citizens Of this
country-is definitely obtained II
declares that those who give whole
hearted support to President Wilson
are more liable to be of use in OBJ
tanning this end than those who see
the mistakes OF the administration.
1t commends the constructive policy
OF the national administration and the
manner In which war revenues have
been raised. That the tariff has been
eliminated from politics by the tariff
commission, which investigates and
recommends rates on a scientific basis,
is another declaration.
Another plank pledges that the
party will continue its present policy
toward labor.

The Baker Government

at is easy enough for the public
mind to picture the tremendous
strength of the United States govern
ment, but it is not so easy to visualize
the power exerted by the Baker or
ganization, owned and controlled by
little group Of men with headquar-
ters at Westerville, o. This little
group levies tribute on every church
collects vast sums from business men
whom 1t can cajole and It coerces the
vote OF every lawmaker whom 1t can
intimidate
''In nearly every way the Baker
government is different from the Will
son government. The President de-
pends upon reason and persuasion
and appeals to love OF country in
dealing with the national lawmakers;
but the Baker government uses only
force and fear in its demands upon
the trainers of our laws.
For the present It is threatening to
defeat for reelection every lawmaker
who seems reluctant to do its bidding.
ut makes these threats in the name
Of the people, but the Baker govern
ment, if it can get the complete con-
troll that It is fighting for. does not
intend to depend upon the people for
further backing. 1t hopes to create
federal prohibition law enforcement
machine that. with the help of gi-
gantic religious organization, will per-
petuate the Baker government firmly
entrenched behind a constitutional
amendment

Destroyed Local Government

"In scores Of states the Baker gov
ernment has destroyed local self-gov-
ernment and in a dozen states it has
coerced lawmakers into ratlfying an
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion intended TO take away forever
the power Of the states to exercise
their win in regard to prohibition.
This country's strength is based on
the unity of the separate states acting
under a constitution that sets forth
principles accepted by the vast ma
jority Of the people. To put into that
constitution a clause that will deny
to great common wealth's power to
govern themselves will be TO debase
the constitution and make 1t a source
Of contention and discord.

Washington government is the separa-

each year, clocks all over the coun-
try which affect any operations of
