republicans regard as shortcomings in
the way the war preparations and act
ivitles have been carried on and de
mand swifter action on The part Of The
government.
It IS believed that the prohibition
question may be ignored by both par
ties in their state platforms. 1t Is
pointed out that there IS no necessity
for a declaration on shat subject. for
the reason that the state now has
prohibition BY statute. and the nomin-
ations for the legislature that were
made at the recent primaries seem to
show clearly that the drys Will have
such a safe majority in the next ses-
sion that the ratification of the prohi-
bition amendment TO the federal con-
stitution will be assured. Therefore,
there will be no need Of political party
action on the subject. according to those
who have been thinking it over
If there is any doubt as to the out
come of the vote on ratificatio in 6the
legislature IL would be a different pro-
position Then the parties would be
expected to line up one way or the other
on the subject But with all doubt as 70
the action Of the legislature removed
by the nomination Of so many dry can
didates for the legislature this neces-
sity IS avoided.
The Anti-Saloon league has figured
out that the drvs Will have not less than
seventy members of the house Of rep
resentatives and perhaps forty mem
bers Of the senate. and this will be more

cation Of the amendment
There he's been an apparent effort 70
stir up trouble among The republicans
with statements that an attempt will
be made to have the republican state
platform contain a plan declaring in
favor of the passage of an excise tax
law by the legislature. There is no
likelihood on that proposition. and any
effort Of that kind would be certain 10
cause trouble And this year no one
is DESTROYS of throwing stones in the
machinery. If Gov. Goodrich has any
idea of asking the legislature to enact
an excise tax law. he Will do just as
we'll by waiting till the session opens.
He is not likely to ask the state CON
yention TO make any declaration on the
excise tax law.
Opponents of the excise tax idea have
nominated a number OF candidates for
the legislature. They also have elect
ed large number OF delegates to the
state convention. and they would stand
opposed to a declaration on that pro-
position.
While the governor probably favors
the excise tex idea as earnestly now as
he ever did. vet those who know him
best and who have the pulse of the
situation feel that he viii not present

Good red blood and al active liver are
needed to face the enemy. Not only Is
this true of the soldiers at the front. but
our folks must have energy to fight the
battle of life, right here at home. 1t is
not on the battlefield alone that this war
IS being fought. 1t is waged in the fac
tory, in the workshop, on the farm, and
in the home, as truly as in the trenches.
The pale-cheeked woman st home, as
we'll as the workman in the shop, feels
that lack of snap and energy which rich

need iron in their blood.
The blood lacks tone-perhaps the red

INDIANAPOLIS. May 2O.-With the
state conventions of both parties as
the next big th1ng on the political pro-
gram in Indiana attention has been di-
verted TO the possibilities that may be
wrapped up in the state platforms that
win be adopted There is feeling
among most of the politicians that
there VIII not be many direct issues
this year between the parties.
Both platforms will declare for the
winning of the war as quickly as pos
sIble and by complete victory over
, -rmany and Austria. instead OF by any
sort of compromise 1ndlana's people
are for the war. OF that there IS no
question. This goes without reference
TO any party lines. Both parties are
doing their patriotic duty in that d.
rection. and will continue to do 1t un-
til the American flag floats over Ser
lin and Potsdam Therefore. there viii
be no issue in regard 10 the war.
Of course, the democratic state plat
form Will be fulsome IN its praise and
communication of the president in the
conduct Of the war. and will pledge
fun support to the administration. 1t
viii point with pride" to the achieve
rnents of the administration in all
things. That IS to be expected as a
matter Of course.
on the other hand the republican
Platform Will refrain from doing any
pointing with pride. but it is not ex-
peoted that It will view with alarm"
the things that have been done by the
administration IN connection with the
war. The platform Will pledge the re-
publicans Of Indiana to do everything
in their power TO help win the war and
will promise full support to all eff
forts in that direction. II may. how
