OIL INSPECTOR
FORCE STICKS
TO GOVERNOR
Chief and 13 Men Work on
After Graft Is Knocked
Out by Law.
DESK IN STATEHOUSE

On Oct 1, 1919, the old oil inspec-
tion department, as a result of an
act of the legislature, went out Of
existence, after it had been de-
nounced as a graft by republicans and
democrats alike.
Today, Marion Caldwell, who was
the head of that department, sits at
a desk in the statehouse and thir-
teen of his inspectors are inspecting
oil in the state.
Mr.. Caldwell has not left the state
house, although his fee grabbing" de-
partment was supposed to have gone
out OF existance five months ago. He
has a desk In room IS in the basement
This room aadjoins the state veterl-
nary department. Employees OF that de-
partment said that he is not connected
with that department, but that "he only
has desk here"
Records In the office OF the auditor
of state do, not show that Caldwell Is
on the state payroll In any capacity.
He is not employed at the statehouse,
but the Goodrich administration has

oil inspection department. in which the
employees were given the right to put
into their own pockets every cent Of

oil regardless of the amount. brought
back into existence.
sTATEHOUsE SPACE
ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED.
There is nothing in the office OF audi
tor OF state to show that Mr.. Caldwell
Is renting desk room from the state and
nothing can be found In the laws Of
the state TO authorize the use of space
in the statehouse by persons not in the
employ of the state. IT is possible. how
ever, that the economy program OF
the Goodrich administration contem-
plates the use Of the statehouse as al
office building. In this case Ii might

lheAeAuLS was tHNiAciy ia hAS VIII
W. G. McADoo.
This characteristic McAdoo telegram
has just been made public by Walter
Myers, in whose hands were leI. the pc
titions required by the Indiana law to
place Mr.. McAdoo in the primaries as
a candidate for president.
The telegram was made public In re-
sponse to many inquiries which have been
received by Mr.. Myers and others as to
why the petitions which had been so
freely signed in various parts Of the state
were not placed on record.
II serves again to call attention to the
fact that Mr.. McAdoo has refused abso-
lutely to allow himself to he entered into
any fight to obtain pledged delegates for
the San Francisco convention. Mr.. Nc
Adoo declared himself in favor of ''un-
trammeled men and women ut that con-
vention and he has compelled his friends,
however reluctant they might be, to re-
spect his wishes and leave him a con-
sistent opponent Of the unseemly meth
DDS which have been adopted by the re-
publican seekers OF the presidency.
BOUND TO
BE POPULAR.
The conviction Is growing among the
democrats OF the whole country that the
McAdOo style Is bound to be the most
popular In the long run. It is universally
conceded that the position McAdoo has
taken relative 20 the presidency is the
proper one. The lack Of selhshness that
has characterized his attitude In the face
OF repeated demands that he seek the
democratic nomination has gathered 10
him support that is more powerful than
that which would be afforded by in
structed delegates in a few states, OBJ
tanned for him only at the expense of a
struggle within the party.
In Indiana 10 is beginning TO dawn on
the republicans that McAdoo is the most
dangerous kind Of an opponent for the
reason that he means what he says and
makes an appeal TO the voters from a
consistent standpoint.
FEARED IN
WASHINGTON.
In Washington he Is so thoroughly
feared by the republicans that a cam
pdign Of vilihcotion and abuse has al
ready been launched against him by
leaders in the congress. To date he is
the only democrat whose possible nomi-
nation has worried the republicans in
congress to such an extent that they
have taken cognizance of the public de-
mand for him and have started out to
spread such tissues of falsehoods as
are involved in the assertion by Senator
kellogg that McAdOo's policies as sec
retary of the treasury cost the nation
billion dollars.
Indiana supporters of Mr.. McAdoo who
we're active in the preparation of peti-
tions to place his name on the primary
ballot, and who failed, at the last min
ute, to file the petitions, are elated over
the unsolicited Endorsement of theii
course which has come from Mr.. McAdoo.
They point TO it as an answer to the
attempt of the republican press to Inc
Sinuate that they betrayed McAdoo's in
terests at the last moment. and they
point to il as an indication Of the un-
selhshness of their choice--a man who
