Copies of the circular referred to were received by all the republican ' precinct committeemen in this county. It contained the names of Coolidge and Dawes, Jackson, the rest of the state ticket with the exception of Gilliom and the congressional nominees. It was Gilliom. it will be remembered. who broke through the slate at the republican convention last spring and was nominated by the : convention on the second ballot, de--1 feating the candidate who had the 1 avowed support of the Klan. Gilliom’s ■ nomination was brought about through the untiring efforts of E. M. Morris republican chairman of this ' district, and other leading republi i cans from this county, who bad the co-operation of all the thirteenth dis trict leaders and the majority of the Northern Indiana delegations. The reported kniffllg by the ele- • :ment in control has aroused GilI Horn’s many Northern Indiana friends and a vigorous campaign in ■ I his behalf is to be waged. Reports • are current in South Bend that the i‘republican candidates are waging a • campaign the slogan for which is: - “Every man for himself.” Tipton—Mrs. Silas Myerly, 80 t years old, is one of the few persons ■ of that age to recover from a broken i hip She is able to wallLabout.
