Make your cWutribution today. Det’s put it over this week. Republican State Chairman Walb will call his committee together this week and demand the governor's resignation. McCray has said on several occasions he won’t quit so Indiana will probably leave a repetition of the Oklahoma proceedure. calling a legislature for impeachment ! urposes without the governor’s sanction. ". " 1 Indications are that the republican national convention will be held in Cleveland next year. The location will be decided Wednesday of this week when the committee meets at Washington. Chicago which has had the convention for twenty years has withdrawn from the race at the suggestion of Mr. Coolidge and his secretary and this is taken to mean they favor the Ohio city. The democrats will select their convention city on January 15th. A good many are wondering how Governor Small of. Illinois got away ■with it and Governor McCray of Inliana didn't. Well in the first place Small confined himself to one big leal, loaning the cash to his own bank, while McCray tried a number

Ed Jackson, secretary of state has asked the attorney general for an opinion as to the constitutionality of the act providing a boost of about 150%. The question is raised because the title also provides the inheritance tax shall go in to the general fund and the Indiana constitution provides that each act shall embrace but one subject which shall be expressed in the title. Those counties which are not receiving a fair share of the money back will welcome a continuance of the old rates. Most people do not object to the increased rates so much as they do to the showing made of expenditures.

Now we're started. Watch our smoke. I). C. H. S. stepped out again Saturday night, and swamped the Monroeville lads in their chicken coup gym. All they had to do was grab the tip-off from Voglewede • and shoot. It was only a short shot for the back guard. "Biz” Miller is a much better player than he is referee. While Biz was fair to both teams here Saturday night, he evidently got interested in thejgame too much and forgot to call fouls and held balls as often as he should for the good of the game. Miller looked good at floor guard Saturday night. He mixes into the plays good and covers the floor with great rapidity. It was a very regrettable incident when Lammiman and Woods collided in the closing minutes of the game Saturday night. Both sustained severe cuts about their eyes and were forced to leave the game, but the in-j juries will not prove serious, it is believed. Neither was to blame for the collision. I. B. C. has a nice team, composed of clean sports. The Yellow Jackets exhibited flashy team work at times Saturday night. Team work is what wins basketbail games and when one or two players get it into their heads that they,are the only ones who can work the ball

This promises to be a hard fought game as the Berne five is coining with the intentions of avenging the 28-16 defeated which the Leaders handed them in the first game of the season. o Confesses To Murder Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 10 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —E. Ray Tompkins, wealthy real estate operator who Saturday confessed slaying his wife was to be arranged today on a charge . of first degree murder. Attorneys for Tompkins announced they would waive preliminary exanination and have their client bound over to municipal court for trail. Tompkins confessed he choked his. wife to death, severed her head with a butcher knife, burned it in the furnace, and hid the terso. His confession followed finding of the woman's headless body in a shallowgrave in a ravine 13 miles north of the city early Saturday. Authorities have been unable to assign a motive for the crime. Tompkins will be examined by a special commission to determine whether he
