ITO the student OF practical
Il politics as played in the
sovereign state OF Indiana. the in
teresting feature in the fight TO
defeat r. Earl Peters for re-elec-
ton as state chairman. Is not
whether he would win, as the early
returns indicate. but what results
could be accomplished by the oploo-
sition with all the weight OF the
secretary OF states patronage
thrown into the balance.
Almost a year ago, this column
+ predicted that neither Grover Gar
rott. chief OF state police. nor
James Carpenter. head Of the auto
+ license division. would be reelected
as chairmen OF their respective dis
tricts. the Fifth and the Tenth.
A horse laugh went up. for all
/ the observers thought that. with
state police and license bureau
+ patronage. both boys we're sure to
+ 60 over easily.
For months state policemen and
auto license department investi-
/ gators rode the districts. attempting
10 line up important workers for
the opposition.
Auto license branches we're dis
tributed not on the basis Of worth,
but on the basis OF who could offer
the most aid TO the Peters oppo-
sition. they tell me.
Reports from the Tenth district
are that four state police officials
and two OF Carpenters investi-
gators barred the 6oor and would
call the names of county officials
/ permitted TO enter.
Patronage was offered freely as
an inducement, they tell me, but
all that Carpenter could get was
tie vote with Charles Wall Of
Winchester, and this result is GER
tified to the state committee. which
will decide. Well, the committee
evidently is a Peters majority, so
just pick your own winner.
/ And. at that. the district conven-
/ ton elected strong supporter OF
/ the present regime for vice-chair-
man. so Carpenter lost there.
1 CARROT put up bitter fight
against Alex Pursley. losing 1913
Il So close was the situation that
/ election OF a vice-chairman was a
tie. and that also will be decided
I bv the state COMMITTEES. The same
pressure and tactics we're used in
I this district for months, but evil
IDENTIFY TO no avail.
Up i'm the new Third, although
both the Elkhart and La Porte
county chairmen are auto license
branch heads. they voted against
the Mayr- Ackerman-M Montgomery
+ Friedrich group Threats. they tell
me. we're made that they would
lose the lucrative Jobs, yet that
didn't deter them.
Now all these county chairmep
evidently vote for Peters choices
because they loved or admired the
state chairman. The supporters Of
Paul V. McNutt, Democratic Gov
/ ernor aspirant, had a great deal to
do with whipping them into line
in the lace of all the juicy patron
age offers.
Disinterested appraisal and study
OF the situation reveals this salient
fact-although CARROT. Carpenter
+ Rudy Alderman. Chester Montgom
cry and the rest Of their clique are
eminently successful county and
local politicians. they seem to lack
the necessary traits that go to make
state leaders.
4 Conclusion reached is that Peters
didn't win-the opposition lost.

President Hoover, at this time prob

other nations: Premier Macdonald in

TRENTON. A BRILLIANT
ACHIEVEMENT

When George Washington marched
his 24OO cold, hungry and tired "rag-
ged Continentals" through the ice
and snow of Christmas night, 1776,
crossed the Delaware River with them
in a collection of small boats and on
barges, then in whirlwind attack
that would not be denied killed or
captured the entire British garrison
at Trenton, he headed an exploit
which alone would have been suffi-
Gent to establish him as a military
leader of the first rank.
The 155th anniversary, we are in
formed by the United States George
Washington Bicentennial Commission,
of the battle of Trenton, coming on
the eve of the nationwide celebration
of the two hundredth anniversary of
Gen. Washington's birth, turns the
thoughts of all Americans, toward
that event, which some have called
the turning point of the Revolution.
The hopes and spirits of Washing
tons soldiers had been considerably
crushed during the autumn and early
winter of 1776. The Continental
troops had enlisted for only a short
time, and the period of service for
most of them would expire with the
end of the year. Under the unprom-
Using conditions then prevailing Gen.
Washington knew that few of the
men would be willing to reenlist.
That meant the loss of his expert
| enced and most valuable troops.
What made the situation even
worse was the fact that the enthusi-
asm of the entire country was wan
ing, and with the ebb the possibility
of obtaining new recruits was CORES
pondingly lessened.
Even General Howe, in his comfort
able winter quarters in New York City
believed that the Americans were in
capable of further opposition and
settled down to enjoy himself as much
as possible while the Revolution was
frozen and starved out by the winter.
General Washington saw the need
of a decisive stroke which would re-
store the confidence of the troops
and the entire country. He knew that
England could never beat patriots
who were determined to be free, so he
went about the task of winning a
victory which would renew the deter
nination with which the war was
first undertaken.
The best chance lay at Trenton
which was garrisoned by Hessian
mercenaries under the command of
Colonel Rail. Having no idea that
the foe across the Delaware River
would want to fight during the festive
Christmas season, the Germans for
got the war and celebrated. Rail so
completely underestimated the mettle
of his adversary that he refused even
to erect Notifications of any sort. On
the other hand, Washington took the
correct measure of Rail when he de-
cided to attack Trenton. He caught
the Hessians unawares in the midst
of their revelries. The American vic
tory was certainty and it took only
few minutes of actual fighting to
convince the enemy of this fact.
The heroism of Washington's men
has been memorialized in countless
tributes, and every American is ia
miliar with the details of that march
in the December blizzard and the dan
gerous crossing of the ice-flled Leila

IN MEMORIAM
NV Mothers Dream


When 1 was but little child
My mother had a dream,
And telling it DER and DER to US
She never tired, it seemed.
She dreamed of walking in a yard,
Among the flowers sweet,
And saw a wondrous ladder
Spring up close by her feet.
It stood upon the earth
And reached up to the sky
Oh, how she would love to climb it;
She had a mind to try.
She stepped upon the rungs
And up and up she climbed
Until she reached field
All glorious and sublime.
While gazing round in rapture
She beheld gate ajar
And wished she might enter
And live above the stars. ..
When 10! A glorious vision - -
The Savior on her smiled; ,'.:.'
She asked if she might enter:
"Not yet; not yet, my child.
'''But you must go back to the earth,
There finish the work I've given;
Take up your cross and follow me;
Then you shall live in heaven"
When she awoke twas but a dream
But promise to her had been giver
Twas like an anchor to her soul,
Her faith, her hope in heaven.
But yesterday we stood beside
Our dying mothers bed
And how we wished we could have
heard
What to her the Savior said.
She closed her eyes and went to sleep:
Her work on earth was done;
The beautiful gate swung open wide
And Jesus bid her come.
