candidates. for very hearty and sin
cere welcome was given DR.. Carleton Nc
Culloch Of indianapolis. democratic
nominee for governor
DR.. Mcculloch made a brief address
at Princeton, and about a thirty minute
talk preceding Gov. Cox's address at
Evansville.
McCuiloch was applauded every time
he attacked the Goodrich tax legislation,
and was cheered when be demanded the
return Of all home rule functions to the
cities and towns.
He declared that Warren McCray. the
republican nominee for the governor
ship, belongs 20 the same "outtt" as
Goodrich does.
He contended that the taxpayers had
to pay about $4,000 for a special session
to correct the mistakes OF Goodrich
ism"
DR. McCulloch maintained that the &C
lions Of Gov. Goodrich In calling q
special session 20 validate" the hori-
zontal Increases. after the supreme court
had declared the Increases Illegal re-
suits In "subordlnating the judiciary to

used in Ohio.
"You can't keep the people on the farm
unless you give them the opportunities Of
the city, said the governor
He pointed out that the people can be
given opportunities of the city by build
ing good roads and by a modern educa-
tional system.
Gov. Cox pleaded with the farmers
ito make out of farming a business"
and to operate as Individual groups, By
having group granaries, where the grain
can be stored and not sold directly
from the field.
He stated he was in favor Of a fed
eral coal storage act, and declared that
this would be one way Of lowering
prices.
my quarrel is not with the rank and
file Of the republican party, but, with
the leaders who have stolen your pri-
mady machinery" said Cox.

nothing to do with nominating the re-
publican nominee, but Senator Watson
saw that it was made pleasing to the
senatorial oligarchy," he said
HOLSTERS WELCOME
VISIT FROM NOMINEE.
Gov. Cox. in his closing remarks at
Princeton. said:
IF, by any chance, the front porch
embargo Is lifted and the policies Of the
United States senate are explained,
urge you to hear the nominee on the
other side
This is not a campaign between par
ties, but 1t is a question whether we
have war or peace, and whether you
want the world to remain in armament
or enjoy international peace"
Indiana voters appear to welcome a
discussion of the league Of nations in
their own towns instead of visiting a
front porch at Marion, q.
The enormous crowds at Princeton and
Evansville prove that Indiana is willing
to listen to the presidential nominees.
Newspaper men from all parts Of the
country admitted they were interested in
the way Indiana women attended the
meetings and especially the way they
welcomed a discussion OF the League Of
nations.
II was stated at Evansville that the
audience that attended the Cox merting
was much larger than Gen. Woods meet
ing, which was held prior to the spring
primary.

WILL CITE WORK
OF CONSERVATION
Special Exhibit Planned for
State Fair.

Announcement was made today by Off
Gals of the state department of conser-
walton that an exhibit representing the
FIVE main divisions of the department.
win be made az the state fair.
Work Of preparing the display is under
the supervision of Frank N. Wallace,
state entOmologist, and the exhibit will
be so arranged as to give 9 comprehen-
sive idea of the character Of the work
this department is doing.
The division of entomology will show
a hundred or so mounted insects that
prey on the farmers fruit and cereal
crops, together with sreciments of their
ravages and the best known methods Of
control and eradication.
In the geological division will be sam
pies of oil-bearing shales, materials for
the manufacture of sement, clays used in
the ceramic industry. kaOlin for dozen
manufacturing enterprises, ct cetera,
while in the forestry division the ex
hibit will consist of the various woods
grown in the state.
Indiana once was nationally known for
the superiority Of its hardwoods.
Today the state is nearly denuded of
first-class virgin timber.
Land erasion, washed and barren hill
sides, unfertile soil and no protection OF
the headwaters of streams resulting IN
lack or control over Devastating HOouS
have followed in the wake of the van
ishing timber.
This exhibit viii endeavor to impress
the Importance of a constructive forestry
policy to insure a future timber supply.
The division of fish and game will ex-
hibit baby fish propagated at the four
state hatcheries and of which nearly
three-qudrters of a million were planted
this season to restock streams and lakes
in the state.
There also will be young quail,
pheasants, wild turkeys, Canada wild
geese, skunk, 'pOssum, muskrat, etc,
raised at the state game experiment sta
ton in Montgomery county.
The display Of the division Of lands
and waters will demonstrate the need Of
keep ny our streams open and free OF
pollution and protecting water levels to
insure an adequate water supply for the
future.
The need Of state parks will be shown
as recreatfoual centers and Fairgrounds,
and 1t will be further demonstrated that
state-owned parks are paying financial
investments.
Competent persons will be in charge to
explain in detail and give information de-
sired from each Of the divisions.

in the affairs Of this government
"Unceasing vigilance has been neces-
sary at every point in the suffrage fight
and never more so than during the last
week.
Unwilling to accept the mandate of
the congress of the United States, and
the legislatures of thirty-six states, our
opponents have attempted by every sort
of legal subtertuge to render null and
void the decision of representatives Of
100000 people
Their attempts have been unsuccess-
full and the fight is now over.
WOMAN's PARTY WILL
NOT RELAX VIGILANCE.
THE woman's party will not relax its
vigilance, however, until it is satisfied
that no further attempt would be made
to wrest from the women of the United
States the political equality which they
have gon."
Miss Paul will leave for New York
today to call a meeting of the executive
committee OF the national woman's party
TO decide the date for the party conven-
ton. when its future policy will be de-
cided.
Suffrage leaders asked Secretary Colby
to repeat the signature of the procIama-
ton for the camera and he stated that
he might DO so later.
The proclamation of the nineteenth
amendment having been issued, the
amendment will now be deposited in the
state department vaults with the consti-
tuition of the United States.

In that way Gov. Cox takes every
member Of his audience into his con-
fidence and even went to the extent last
night to state that he did not consider
it insulting for members Of his audience
to rise to their feet and ask him face
to face any question.
Those are but few of the things
which give GOV. Cox that close and
very personal touch with those who
hear him.

Cox to all those with whom he comes in

The voters Of Indiana have indicated
by turning out in numbers that they de-
sire to hear ut first hand the leaders Of
both parties discuss the league of nations.
Gov. Cox is discussing the league first
in his talks on this present tour and
he calls II the greatest moral question
Shortly after my nomination at San
Francisco the question was raised by
some people how ! stood on the league
Of nations" said the governor.

a splendid sight to see men and women
go together to the meetings for a definite
purpose-to become better acquainted
with the campaign issues as presented
by Gov. Cox.
GOVERNOR GAINS
INTEREST WITH EASE.
The ease with which the governor OBJ
tains the undivided interest of his hear
ers is one of the most astonishing ele-
ments of his meetings.
"And there is a little thing which may
interest you voters said Gov. Cox in a
sort OF impersonal way.
81 was asked to speak in the great au-
ditorium at the Ohio state fair grounds
during the fair.
Il accepted, and it was planned to have
both candidates Of the two leading par
ties speak, but the senatorial oligarchy
asked the republican nominee on what he
was going to talk.
He said he was going to speak on
the great moral and political questions OF
the campaign, but the oligarchy said
there would be no political questions dis
cussed at the fair grounds.
81 offered to speak first so Senator
Harding could answer me and it was
then proposed when | finished speaking
that a monograph record Of one of SEN
ator Hardings speeches was to be
brought in"
The Evansville audience broke into
such a gale of laughter that proceedings
were held up for several seconds.
