In a letter from careful reader, who
evidently watches for expression of pol
icy, the following paragraph is set out
as his conception Of The Indiana Daily
Times:
"The Indiana Daily Times has and is
standing for the things that promote tho
best interests in citizenship. 1t has and
is standing for the protection of the
home. 1t is standing for honest govern
ment 1t is standing for an open, fair
contest in political affairs, and 1t Is
against boss rule ami boss domination
Of party 1t believes the voters in the
democratic party should, through their
direct representatives write the platform
and nominate the candidates. The Indi-
ana Daily Times is against darkroom
methods It is against the selection Of
candidates by private agreement and II
the democrats Of Indiana will accept the
advice of The Indiana Daily Times and
support their candidates that are not
afraid to make prediction statements
and insist on their statements being writ
ten into the platform, providing the can
didates making the statement are Sc
lected, the party viii be successful"
