preston that one gains from mingling
with this aggregation. of third partv
proposes is that the movement is
pretty well named. for the forty-eiEht-
ers apparently represent at least forty
eight groups Of thought and ideas All

II through wide variety of lenses Al
present they agree on just one thing
each OF the old parties is a failure. a.
least that's what the Lake county Ins

The twenty-four delegates who have
registered from Indiana include several
former Democrats, some Socialists q
few former Republicans, some laborttes
and Single takers. One manufacturer
one business man. one college professor

m radical I'd hate to tell you
how radical I am. I'm just as radical
as YOU find them" said AureIl by wav
Of introducing himself. when he was
asked what his party affiliations had
been heretofore
I'm supposed to be a Socialist I
still believe in the principles and rem
edies Of the Socialist party. but that
party offers slow working. I'm lock-

ber Of the resolutions committee nov
working on the platform.
WAS A BRYAN FAN
He is still Bryan admirer. but Ia
dise ppointed that the commGner swaI-
| lows everything and sticks with the
old. party. Mr. McGill has served
as Democratic chairman and has re-
peatedly been delegate to the Demo-
| cratic state conventions.
He says he is a single tax believer.
He has been an insurgent Democrat in
recent years.
4 ceased &c be a Democrat when the
| Democratic party departed from Demo
cratic fundamentals" said McGin Il
can't stand for Bur1eson and Palmer
and others Of the Wilson adrninistra-
| ton. I cant stand for the abuses Of
| civil liberty that has been witnessed
under the Wilson administration since
the armistice. I'm against the espion-
| age act in peace times"
PAXTON HIBBEN THERE
Mr.. McGin gave il a. his impression
that most of those gathered at this con
venticn are opponents OF the League of
| Nations He does not expect the liquor
matter to receive any serious attention
here because IL IS no longer regarded
as an economic question. Paxton Hib-
ben of Indianapolis. once a bull Moose
candidate for. Congress from Marion
| county. is among the Indiana dele-
gates.
