In the Indianapolis Sun the proposed house bill to elect nine councilmen at large is criticized as risking loss of ward representation. The piece argues for a single 15 member city council with one representative per ward and urges voters to unite for good government beyond party lines.
The Indianapolis Sun begins serial publication of the Bernstein drama Samson featuring William Gillette. The piece lauds the play for its vivid portrayal of today’s wealth and power, Gillette’s rage and eventual moral recovery, and Bernstein’s writing. It urges readers to read the story for its lessons on money, love, and human passions.
Indiana debates shift toward funding county farmers institutes by population and attendance measures. The bill would allocate state funds to counties based on farm area, replacing flat $100 per county. Also discussed is electing a state factory inspector, criticizing influence from manufacturers and the Citizens' alliance, with potential broader elective offices. Prohibition petitions flood the senate led by the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.
