IS GOODY-GOOD Indiana Cities Acquire Sudden Saintliness for the i Coining Elections IN HER CITIES Law Enforcement Seems to t be Very Popular-- “Howl” : Spurs Activity. ; (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 18— (Special to Daily Democrat! —Indiana, even I Terre Haute, is "awful goody good " today. No, it is not because Governor Sam Ralston is back from his vacation. The saintliness is due to tlie j coming city elections. I Law enforcement, wliich generally! means suppression of blind tigers, Sunday observance, anti-vice campaigns. etc., is very popular just now. I Tlie ruling party in cities, desiring to perpetuate its control, stages a law-11 enforcement crusade. It "catches the n pierage voterIndianapolis is today a good exam-; pie of this ante-election reform. Wine rooms cases and saloons which heretofore disregarded closing ordinances—'l and in the county some road houses; wliich are noted for orgies lasting late | I into tlie night- are dark and still; ’ promptly at legal closing time- Sev-i oral hotels have recently been raided I and closed up. Officials have loudly | repeated tlieir "desire to see that the I laws are strictly enforced.About the only element that does not look upon the new lino-up with favor is the joy-]; rider who in the "good old days”! could drive up to a hotel or wine-room any time alter midnight and be accommodated. A howl from one or more of th° parl ties seeking to wrest coirtrol of the I ' city government away from the ruling party is generally enough to spur the; i. dm ini. t rat ion into activity. Every ! party is charged by every other with; favoring a wide-open town. Each parI tv makes general denials. Former I mayors under whose administration j I vice was conducted in the open now as, I candidates for another term blossom i ■ out as advocates of tlie leakness lid. I In most cities of (he state facing; municipal elections this November] law enforcement is an issue. Person-! - alities make dp the principal issues.' i Evansville is so far out of style as to j have two parties making nn issue of’ , municipal ownership. Cities with in- , dependent or citizens’ movements are i l.earing the plea that city govern-’ ment ought to be divorced from na-, I itonal or state affairs Charges] arainst these movements are general ] In Indianapolis sm ha movement Is i rn-nlv charged with attempting to i split tlie republican and tile bull; ; moose strength to perit tlie Taggart , imu hint to slip under the wire a win-! ner- In other cities tlie citizens tick-! et ir, suj posed to be reunited g. o. p ’ In a few- cases tlie independent move-! ment is said to tie an attempt by all] i i ther parties to oust tlie ruling party.] But Indiana is "awfully good" - un- | til after election. ; o Many Bi£ Barns Were Burned (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Heavy Rainfall. The storm came up early Saturday ! evening, and although the electrical! display wan quite ivavy in Heiatur. there was no rainfall until today noon. In the south part of tlie county and | especially in Blue Creek township, a | small cloudburst seemed to be in or-! dor.
