Press dispatches state that President Carranza of Mexico has left the capitol and is now seeking safety, but in view of all the revolution that is taking place in that country of out- 1 lawry it might be hard for him to find a safe resting place.

f Is Mowing The present republicai administration bas ruined ever: chance of a republican victory in In diana this fall. The people want re lief from the state tax and highway r laws and they are going to vote that • way ut the November election, r l. ' Adams county with a modern on. hundred thousand dollar hospital will be able to take care of the sick and i suffering and do those acts of mercy which makes everyone feel that hr kas done something for mankind Every progressive community has a county hospital and of course Ad ams county is always numbered among the best. It’s encouraging tc know that a majority of the people oi the community favored such an institution. If you are one of the honored met who served in the late war you are urged to join the American Legion, the local post planning to conduct mother membership drive during the week of May 17th. The Legion, it time will be the biggest and greates' organization in the country and o: ourse every man entitled to mem >ership should be glad to join and iffiliate with the veterans. Become a member of Post 43. it promises t< be a leader The foolishness of Indiana's prim ary law was clearly demonstrated in the recent primary election. Tin i epublican candidates for president spent thousands and thousands ol dollars in the race to secure the In diana delegation but to no avail, neither of the candidates receiving a majority of the votes and the thirty delegates will go to the convention uninstructed. In such races the primary law aids in making corrupt poli lies, giving the man with the biggest slush fund back of him the advantage over the other candidates.

S. district court today overrul'd a plea in abatement filed by Charles Evans Hughes as chief counsel for the defense in the government's case against 125 coal men indicted on charges of violating the ’ Lever act. 1 The effect of the court’s ruling was • that the court could not deliver prejudicial instructions to the new famous “coal grand jury” which investigated the entire coal industry since the Lever law was enacted. Indianapolis, May 7—(Special to Daily Democrat)—When the cases were called for arraingment yesterday Hughes filed a plea in abatement charging that Judge Anderson gave instructions to the grand jury which were prejudicial to John Lewis president of the United States Mine Workers and other defendants. Later a similar plea was entered in behalf of the Indiana operators and this also was overruled. Only thirty-eight of the operators indicted appeared in court, all of them from Indiana. Those from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois were absent pending the outcome of a suit in federal court in which they are contesting removal proceedings. The miners in court today were from Pennsylvania and Indiana. Those from Ohio and Illinois await the outcome of the arraingment.
