Jackson, Delegate

Nothing could be more fitting than the
selection of Governor Ed jackson as the dele
gate from indianapolis to the Kansas City Re-
publican convention,
He completely and thoroughly represents in
person and in morals the corrupt Republican
party of this city.
He escaped the penitentary by appeali-o
to the statute Of limitations That is the Re
publican party of Indianapolis. Through
George " Coffin, now elevated to the high
position Of district chairman, the Republican
party is represented in the State by fraud. He
sits among the seats Of the mighty. He went
there through the use Of the stub pencil.
The honest Republican is not represented in
the Republican party Whatever honest Re
publicans sat in the district meeting voted in
fear and terror-and they were honestly afraid
They knew the power Of this man. They knew
his power to punish. They fear his venge-
ance
What pitiful spectacle it was-that even
so high dignitary as the Hon. James Eli Wat
son did not dare to protest against sending
the man whom he successfully had refused
chance to speak before the State convention,
to Kansas City to cast a vote for Watson for
the high position of President.
The ghost Of Stephenson walked through
the gathering Of Republican delegates and his
blighting hand grasped the throat of the party
of Abraham Lincoln.
And so jackson will go to Kansas City, dis
credited, dishonored, none so poor as to pay
him honor.
And why not?
Friends Of Herbert Hoover have cause to
rejoice today. Indiana has revealed itself.
Watson stands disclosed. Senator Arthur
Robinson, with his Anti-Saloon League back
ing, is triumphant Nothing could be more
fitting. Nothing could be more revealing.
jackson at Kansas City is warning to the
Nation. 1t is typical of the Republican party
Of Indiana. 1t shows as nothing else could do,
the low level to which the party in this State
has sunk There remains but one thing in its
hour of triumph The national platform must
contain a plank indorsing the statute Of limi-
tations as the bulwark of all liberty.
It may be brazen 1t may be bold, but at
heart it is sincere. The Times dominates the

dent with James Eli Watson at the ticket head.

These were decorated in various ways con-

1t would seem that at this period the Chinese had
a better understanding of the compass needle than
did the nations Of Europe. The Chinese also seem to
have had better methods Of suspending the needle.
But the evidence seems to show that the Chinese
used the compass only for land journeys and for the
orientation of buildings
They do not seem to have used the compass fol

Governor Jackson did not speak to the Re-

That was an insult to Jackson. 1t was an
insult to the delegates to the Republican
convention.
Flushed with a stolen victory at the polls,

brazenly announced that jackson was to be
given chief place on the program
They have heard from the voters since

he to appear, would call, most wildly, atten-
ton to the fact that he escaped the peniten-
tiary by appeal to the statute Of limitations.
jackson had announced that his speech was
to be vindication of himself
They did not trust him.
They knew that the only speech that he
could make would be confession.
And so they confessed for him, instead.
They knew that the only speech that he
could make would be to admit the mistake
that he had conspired with George V. Coffin
and the paymaster Of the Ku-Klux Khan, to
bride Warren T. McCray, then Governor.
They knew that unless he dealt in plati-
tudes concerning an efficient administration, "
he would have to admit that the 50 500 check
he received from Stephenson was not in pay
ment for a horse, as he had claimed, but a
bride, which he took from this former Grand
Dragon Of the Ku-Klux Khan to bride the party
which he represented.
They knew that with all his bravad6 and
with all his camoufage he would reveal him.
self as a CRATER and crook
No wonder that Watson and Robinson and
the new pilot of the Republican party held a
secret conference and decided that it were far
better to defend silent Jackson than to spon-
sor a speaking hypocrite.
This newspaper revealed the evidence and
laid bare the two conspiracies.
This newspaper invited the Governor OF
this State to bring actions, criminal and civil
whereby the whole truth might be known.
The horse died an ignominious death, chok-
ing his life out on q corn cob.
Eleven hundred delegates to the State con-

could it would not be altogether
harmful.
Though the farmers may be
sorry and resentful because they
got no more, one hundred million
consumers are rather glad. Most
OF the housewives in this country
think they paid quite enough for
flour during the war.
Besides, the price was sufficient
to boost the value of wheat land
out of all reason, stimulate spec
ulation and cause an unwise amount
OF buying on credit.
If wheat had gone to So, as some
say 1t ought, the chances are that
the grain growers would have

same kind of foolish expansion as
nearly ruined the cattle men.
Secretary Hoover could admit
that he was responsible for $500
wheat, without hurting himself in
the eyes of millions of people, some
farmers included.
