An Indiana Revolution

When a group of courageous men, 152
years ago, decided that they had been bossed
and exploited long enough, they wrote the i'm
mortal Declaration of Independence.
They decided that they were good enough
to rule themselves and that no man was good
enough or wise enough to dictate the terms un-
der which they should live.
They had tea party and war and finally
there emerged the new nation of the United
States, dedicated to equality of rights, to lib
erty, to the doctrine of self-government.
This year Indiana has chance to go back
into the Union, the resi- spirit of the United
States, and the principles from which it has
strayed and been beguiled and betrayed.
TO all practical purposes, this State has had
no self government and little liberty, no real
rule by the people since the days that Stephen
son and Watson and Shumaker and Walb and
the others built the machine which gave us
jackson as Governor and a Duvall as mayor
Tyranny through corruption, fraudulent
ballots, masked hypocrisy is just as much tyr
amy as that against which the founders re-
VOTED.
There is no real government by the people
when the State has at its head a man who
pleaded the statute of limitations to escape
conviction on a charge of attempted bribery
of his elected predecessor.
There is no real government by the people
when bootleggers control, through contribu-
tions to elections, garnered from them by off,
Gals whose duty it is to prosecute them.
There is no real government by the people
when elections and primaries are controlled
through election boards composed of protected
criminals, named by party bosses, whose only
intent is to put over their own programs
The people do not rule when the black
boxes of Stephenson contained evidences of
crimes and shameful contracts between the die
tator Of secret organization and men who
sought power.
The people have little to say of their own
affairs when they are misled by hired orators
for professional dry reformers, who plead with
fees in their pockets and end their speeches by
finding solace in the very practices they de-
nounce.
This year, surely, will see Indiana back in
the Union. The Declaration of Independence
again will have meaning.
The statute of limitations no longer will be
the symbol Of human liberty.
Life liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
are possible only when the government repre-
sents the conscience and intelligence of the.
people themselves.
And no one Would dare so to SANDER In
diana as to say that the present State govern
ment represents either.
