BOOM MYERS
FOR SENATE IN
1892 ELECTION
Democratic Editors Strike
Keynote of Coming
Campaign.

Although members of the Indiana
Democratic Editorial Association to-
day went about their duties of elect
ing officers for the ensuing year in
prosaic manner, their minds were
occupied with thoughts Of the 1892
political election.
The bellwether note was struck
at the mid-winter dinner of the
association, Thursday night at the
Claypool, by Dick Heller Of the
Decatur Democrat, outgoing presi-
dent, in his introduction of the
principal speakers.
At the business session today
Claude G. Brodhecker, Brownstown
Banner, was elected president, sue
eeeding Heller.

Finney, Martinsville, third vice
president; w. c. Minor, Cannelton,
secretary, and Scott B. Chambers,
Newcastle, treasurer.
Heller presented Walter Myers,
Speaker of the house of representa-
tives as the successor in 1882 to
Senator James E. Watson"
Then as Paul V. McNutt, Demo-
cratic keynoSer and dean Of the In
diana law school rose. the president
said:
Down deep in their hearts the
Republicans Join with us in know
ing that he will be the next Gov
ernor."
Although Myers, who made the
principal address gave no mention
10 the introduction McNutt, who
has been hearing the same thing
for some time declared:
Asks Nothing for Self
Il seek nothing for myself. I
primarily am interested in one
thing. the redemption of the state
OF Indiana and its restoration to its
place of glory which it held under
Marshall, Ralston, 'Shively and
Kern.
IF it is nay part TO march In the
ranks as in the past, 1 shall do
that to the best of my ability. If
it is my part to do more than that
7 shall do that to the best of my
ability"
Discussing work of the legislature,
Myers indicated that much more
work should be done by the as
sembly.
A note for abolition of township
and counties and consolidation of
various units in order to curb dupli-
cation of expenditures was struck
by the Speaker, who, after COM
menting on how three different de-
partments construct roads, declared:
Cost Cut Is Rub"
How can local costs be cut? Aye,
there's the rub. Perhaps that time
will come when townships as they
now exist will be abolished, when
several counties will be made into
one and when the practice of
mergers in private business will be
applied to the conduct of public
affairs. Why should there be
different agencies for doing the
same thing?
why not apply the genius of the
administration of American bust
ness to public affairs instead of
fighting private business because it
has succeeded where public business
has failed?"
Both Myers and McNutt scored
the national administration and
denounced the behavior of President
Hoover in the depression.
