Mayor .Hiller Tells About It. In a communication to the Indianapolis Star, headed “Dry Tactics in Greencastle,” Mayor Miller wrote the following: Sir—Greencastle has been havlpg an experience with the ‘‘wet" element, the recital of which may h' - of some Interest to some of your readers. We foresaw that the “wets" would probably call for an election in July or August, when the "drys’ would be short about a hundred voteby reason of the absence of so many of, them on their summer vacations, so were neither surprised nor unprepared when they filed their petition to be presented to the county board at their July meeting. In 1911 the city went “dry" by vbc narrow majority fo sixty-eight. Realizing that the battle would have to be fought over at some future time a permanent “dry" committee of one hundred with Joseph P- Allen, leading merchant, as chairman, was appointed with a fund subscribed subject to call at any time. Upon the filing of the petition thn* committee "got busy” and prepared for the contest. When the petition was presented to the county hoar/ it was met with a protest against th ordering of an election on the groui"' that the petition was not sufficient. Then the legal battle began. The ‘drys" were represented by ex-Rena-tor Thomas T. Moore and T. O. Pe-It The Rev. A. T. Riley who is also a member of the bar, and one of the best posted men on temperance la" - we have among us. was also on <* The "wets" were represented by tbr law firm of Allee James & Alice. After a hearing lasting well into the second day, the board held tb" petition sufficient, and fixed Juiv 3' as the date of the election, to the great elation of the “wets." Then the “drys" touched the match to the fuse, and the unexpected hap rened. As soon as the board nr rouneed its decision, the attorney* for the “drys" prayed an appeal to the clreuit rourt which does not meet nnt'l September, and preseni nn appeal bend, which was a* ■ ' nenreved by the auditor. To us- i class'cal vernacular of the strtbo “wets" wont up in the n’r. Dntfnrnwt! conceding that the appe* ' suspended all further proeee' > "ntn tbe -are was passed upon by the circuit court. If "pen tbo hearing of the can " at its September term the court sustains the commissioners, then .he hoard can not fix the date for - - election until its regular meeting in October, which would throw it well toward the 1st of November when all the absentees will have returned Now, let us. got wise. \\’o know tb..: the liquor element constitutes - close corportation that, like all oilier agencies for evil, never relaxes it vigilance, but is always awake, alert ready and qnb-k to take advantn of any opportunity that present* itself. In every community—outside of Terre Haute and a few other rotten boroughs - -the troofi people outnumber the other kind, and all they have to do, and what they do is to have the courage of their convictions ganiro thoroughly and fight :md n - times out of ten. tliej will win.

Kathleen James, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. James, won the first prize for the best decorated touring car in the automobile parade given in connection with the Horse Show and Home-Coming Tuesday night. Lawrence Browning won second prize In that class, while Robe-t Hanna and Arthur Reat won the IV and second prizes, respectively, tithe roadster class. The first place winners were given prizes of $10 each, while the winners of the sc’ond places received $5 each. Kathleen James, who drove her father’s car in the parade had drape' the car In white and had with h"" in the car. eight of her lift'" friends, all dressed in white The <• •• and its occuants presented a mos* pleatng spectacle and aroused much enthusiasm as it passed along the line of parade. The Browning ear which -was decorated by Jacob Fite' probably was more artisiicall. dec orated than the James car. Cut flow ers were utilized In its decoration and their arrangement was most artistic. However, the James car so’--, ed to be the most admired by tbcrowd and the judges decided t award it the first place. John Cannon H. C. Allen, Jr., and Reese Meson served as the judges >n the con test. Robert Hanna had decorated IV roadster with incadesrent lights an.’ bunting, in a most attractive manne A monkey owned by Basil Bel! ting on a perch above the decoration: added attractiveness to the ear Th*Reat car decorations consisted o bunting and paper flowers, artistically arranged.
